Look forward to the "theatrics", should lead to some entertaining performances from Jacob Rees-Mogg.

Originally posted by squarepeg View PostI came back from France where I had meetings with potential clients. They told me they are already giving priority to the non-British EU passport holders, because they do not want to burden themselves with an unclear legal status of British contractors/employees after Brexit. They are looking at attracting Eastern European IT personnel, especially those who have worked in the UK.
Personally, I'm staying in the UK for now, but I am learning French and German. Just in case my EU passport gets me kicked out of here and welcomed over there.
But it is perfectly OK for the French to discriminate against UK citizens?
There would be no confusion if the EU had done the decent thing and talked about it.
Do you realise how completely hypocritical this makes the French look? Does the rest of Europe feel the same way?Comment

Discarding the blowhards from both sides, all I've heard from the EU is that we cannot cherry pick the bits we want when we leave the club.
Which is how all clubs operate.
And because we now have access to all the cherries, there's no way any deal can be better than what we have now.
And so leaving necessarily means we'll be worse off.
It's basic logic.Hard Brexit now!

As we weren't asked if we wanted to go in further we had a choice leave or become something different.
It's basic logic. (does this make my post look like i know what I'm talking about?).Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment
