Dominic Raab outlines the deal

[darmstadt]

So you're shirking the responsibility - not the UK's problem, blame the EU...

Like this moron: https://blogs.spectator.co.uk/2018/0...rexit-no-deal/

[WTFH]

If you think the Commission wants a fair deal you'd be quite an optimist. No doubt Merkel has called Teresa and told her Raab needs to go. Has power moved abroad already?

Suggested reading: "And the Weak Suffer What they Must?" by Varoufakis.

Varoufakis ran away quicker than Cameron, and still has that chip on his shoulder about the EU not bailing Greece out for free when he failed to do his basic job of ensuring Greece collected all taxes and spent within its means.

The EU will offer the fairest deal possible while still remaining within the legal bounds of the internal market, and within the constraints of other FTAs they have (for example, clauses in existing agreements that say that any more favourable terms also need to be applied to Canada or S Korea). Whether the U.K. thinks that’s “fair” based on British exceptionalism is a different matter.

Raab has been sidelined for shooting his mouth off within a week of getting the job. Not very subtle for someone supposed to be in a position of negotiating a deal.

Even in Greece, that man is considered a fraud.

What do you mean by "fair" deal? The EU is a club with the 4 indivisible freedoms enshrined: of movement for goods, services, capital and people.

As we (well the cretins who are a majority) have decided to leave the club because we don't want want freedom of movement, we must simply leave it.

All this begging for special treatment makes us look stupid. I refer you to my sig.

Who is?

Who is accepting responsibility for Brexit?

Several of the people who voted for it aren't accepting responsibility - blaming the EU for Brexit, blaming the EU for the failure of the UK to produce any documentation or turn up to negotiate, blaming the EU for giving out EU passports to people, then when the number of EU passport holders migrating to the UK it changes to blaming the EU for not forcing the UKBF to do it's job, blaming the EU for well, pretty much everything.

So, who is accepting responsibility for Brexit? If no one in the UK is, then Brexit is whatever the EU wants it to be, because no one in the UK is prepared to accept responsibility for Brexit.

I think the Brexit negotiations should be about agreeing a fair deal for both sides as Britain leaves the EU. Unfortunately that's not what the daily wailers want.

He is no longer in charge though.

He’s the Minister for Stockpiling, that’s what he’s in charge of.

Besides, “not being in charge” has never stopped gammons caring about what JRM or Farage think...

Merely "adequate food supplies".

To be fair, food in the UK has only recently become adequate.

Yay, Brexit dividends:
A return on investment when most of us are dead.

Merely "adequate food supplies".
- Dominic Raab

The return of the death penalty.
- Sajid Javid

Well, a return on investment for us proles in 50 years, JRM’s now-Dublin-based investment vehicle should have a return much quicker than that. As will Banks, Ashcroft, Wigmore (Belize, not British), Farage (Germany and/or America), Lawson (France), Redwood (“move all your investments offshore”), that other twunt who got a Maltese passport, etc etc. No pattern here then.

Adequate food supplies, medicines, isotopes, and “products of human origin” I think it went. Don’t get sick in 2019, and if you have cancer or are a haemophiliac then better get your own supplies in.

Death penalty was next after blue passports, no surprise there, it’s what the gammons want.

Even if all the above turns out to be horsetulip in the end, this is coming directly from our sitting government. Not really how a responsible government should be acting.

Did he say the cheque was made out of paper or rubber?

[WTFH]

Yes, but spun correctly, "blank"<£350,000,000

[BlasterBates]

UK government to hand the EU a blank cheque

It is now abundantly clear that the UK-EU agreement will be sufficiently vague that the EU will be able to pocket the money before the reality of the deal is clear.
