    And all because the working class in this country can't be fooked to educate themselves.
    A Government spokesman told the BBC it “did not recognise” the claims being made by the EU diplomats, who are based in this country.

    But there is speculation that the Article 50 letter – to be delivered in Brussels tomorrow – will not repeat Ms May’s warning that “no deal for Britain is better than a bad deal”.

      May planning to keep the UK in the EU in all but name
      As I posted yesterday evening and have been saying for a while now:

      "We will be EU members in all but name."

      There will be a transitional deal, which will become the permanent deal after the government gets the mandate in 2020. The EU can move forwards with its integrationist plans without Britain holding it back. 'Freedom of movement' will be replaced with a cap on EU migrants so rediculously high that it makes no difference. Britain will trade. Britain will pay into EU institutions. It will be a worse deal than we have now, because we will miss out on all that EU political integration, we will have no say at the EU table (just like we have no say in the USA) but why would we?

      The companies moving staff into the EU are doing it to reduce costs (e.g. cheaper Spanish labour) and using Brexit as the excuse.

        Lets see if the "no-deal" threat is in the letter, if not the EU negotiators will be popping champagne corks and throwing Brexit into the long grass. All they need to do is sit there playing hard to get and wait for the UK to come grovelling for their transitional deal.

        Watching QT yesterday, was interesting to see there are still people whose grasp of basic arithmetic is so poor that they believe we have the upper hand in negotiations.
        Hard Brexit now!

          Turkey has refugees? What conflict is occurring in Turkey?

            Yeah you stick to that mantra. It obviously replaces hard-headed analysis.
            Hard Brexit now!

              Dear John,

              We're leaving.

              Love and kisses Teresa.

              PS: Please let us have free trade without freedom of movement. Pretty please with jam on? Oh go on.

                  Looks like mass uncontrolled immigration will continue after Brexit.

                  https://www.theguardian.com/politics...y-eu-diplomats

                  The diplomats also predicted that the UK was likely to change its rhetoric towards immigration, suggesting that the British realised that strict limits on immigration were a bad idea for British society and the economy, and there was a need to focus more on control and not quantitative limits. “They will talk themselves out of the 100,000 [limit] thing,” one diplomat said.
                  Lets face it the UK is heading for a Swiss style deal, with freedom of movement more or less intact.

                  So in conclusion, Britain will end up without important advantages such as passporting, lose part of it's finance sector, lose Scotland, and still end up with the freedom of movement.

                  I'm alright Jack
