    We do now. Davies clarified it it. "Brexit means leaving the EU".
    He also said it meant strengthening our security & defence with the EU, so all those posts/promises/pledges about getting away from a European defence have now been thrown on the fire.

    And May has said that money for the NHS, reduction on VAT on fuel and the proposal/promise/pledge on immigration are also no longer promises or pledges.

    All we appear to be getting is a list of what is not going to happen, and no idea of what is.
    …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

If not, I may still be able to play the course, drink at the bar, but under a different set of circumstances; either special rules for non-members, or as of a guest of a member.

      As you well know, Brexiteers don't want to have nothing to do with Europe, they just don't won't sign up to full EU rules.
      Thing is, if you have been a member of a golf club and then you kick up a big stink and leave it, you may find that you're not welcome back as a guest or non-member. The club sets the rules.

        Much like CUK then. Except that the rules change every 5 minutes....

          She's not discounted WW3, so the Bremoaners might get CMD's pledge coming true.

            The club may be tempted to let you play on Wednesday mornings and not use the bar and you paid them a whopping fee costing you greater than membership.

              ...and now Theresa May is slapping down Davies suggestion about the UK leaving the single market. This is really going to be interesting.

                We must be becoming a laughing stock in world capitals.
                As the days go by, Brexit is more and more being revealed as the massive clusterfook it is.
                Meanwhile, of course, Britain is thriving within the EU.
                Hard Brexit now!

                  They don't want to show their cards to the voters.

                    Shame the southern half of the EU isn't though.

                      Not if you're the best golfer in the world. Then YOU set the rules and can shag the Club President's missus, tulip on his desk and still expect a free bar.
