What did you vote Brexit to get, then?

And was it on the ballot paper, or did you just assume that Teresa May is a mind reader and knew what it was you voted for?

Good question.

I expected nothing less from a bunch of remainers in gov.

But this is the only exit that is possible.

Better to be out than in the USofE.

But it’s a pretty lousy deal she’s negotiated.

Would I have voted for brexit to get this?

Probably not.

The saddest thing about Brexit

Shame about the language.


Hmm. Interesting. Britain being the laughing stock on the international scene, the divided society, the lack of any real leadership, are, according to at least one brexiter then, not things to find sad.

That's been deferred to the second round, however in any case any resident in the Schengen area has the right to go anywhere else in Schengen and work. i.e. a Schengen residency permit is transferable, so I'm not too worried by the fact that I won't be able to work in Bulgaria or Romania

Sort of, but only in the sense that none of this is a legally binding agreement, only a staging post. It's only an agreement in international and domestic law when the Withdrawal Agreement is enacted, along with the corresponding UK Legislation. But you can see the direction of travel, and it seems a bit weak on UK citizens abroad. Like I say, it would've been more reasonable of the EU to offer the same rights they enjoy now, and I don't mean about free movement, but about benefits etc. (it seems this is now left entirely to domestic legislation in other countries).

I’m not entirely sure that’s correct for what’s been agreed by May. There’s FoM, and perhaps freedom to work, but not to simply move country.

[BlasterBates]

Excellent. Bit weak on your rights though? Price of compromise, I suppose, but I would’ve liked to have seen U.K. citizens in the EU able to transfer their rights.

not at all, it's all going to plan

[woohoo]

Incidently, the Saxon colleagues collectively had the opinion that this is not the kind of subject that
should be up for a referendum and the general public are not qualified to make such a decision,
in my Saxon colleagues words, such decisions are what we pay the Politicians and Civil Servants
for.

And they consider Cameron to be extremely week for a) running the Referendum and b) quitting
within a few days of the result

Milan.

Yeah but the Germans have never been good with allowing people to vote they prefer a strong leader a dictator if you like. They are sheep with a huge inferiority complex.

Anyway, I like the Germans but I wouldn't want to the UK to ran on the basis of it makes them happy or not.

that's the spirit lad,

but it's a difficult being a passenger in a slow motion self harming car crash where the drivers are the
clearly not acting in the interests of the people, not to be embarrassed about the whole thing

I dont consider myself brexiteer but the referendum was right decision by Cameron, as EU had been vilified by all politicians for years. People would have got a referendum anyway in future if europe continued the way it is.
Referendum should not be regular phenomena but its okey to use it to get public opinion on long standing demands.

Cameron had 3 referendum, all were justified in my opinion.

You seem thoroughly upset

not at all, it's all going to plan

[BrilloPad]

Absolutely agree. Farage and Rees-Mogg are apoplectic.

Has JRM had to be sent to bed by nanny?

[meridian]

All the right people are thoroughly upset by this deal, which is excellent news.

Absolutely agree. Farage and Rees-Mogg are apoplectic.
