Article 50/Brexit Negotiations

[The perfect fumble]

It's alright. We are back up and running now. BlueHammer has promised not to confuse private health care with with Bannatynes private health spa

That's a relief. It was only a matter of time before he recommended the seriously ill stop sponging of the state, rub a bit of Vicks on and pull themselves together.

After May's poor performance in the campaign which have shown her to be weak and inept, serious concerns are being raised about her ability and competence to negotiate a good Brexit deal.
Apparently she doesn't discuss issues with her cabinet but relies on her two advisors - a bald guy with a beard and a woman called Fiona.
David Davies ( who himself is inexperienced in this type of negotiation but at least has been round the block a bit) is going to have a hard time getting a good deal when this inexperienced trio are watching his back.
The likely outcome is that in the absence of experience and competence , the default position of no deal will occur.
Whilst u turn T has said 'no deal is better than a bad deal', even she has not claimed that no deal is a good deal.
The future's shite, the future's Tory.

It's time to parachute Ruth Davidson into Westminster to lead the Tory party if possible. May and co seem clueless as does the feckless idealist and his cronies. She for me seems to be the only young politician with any vigour and fight in her.

I do like her. Shame she's Scottish really as the Tories won't have enough of a power-base in Scotland to justify her being leader.

She could take a safe Conservative seat in England, she'd be much better positioned to fight the SNP with a PM position. As you say it isn't going to happen we will be left with just mealy mouthed careerists like we have now mate.

I don't think she'd do it and I'd lose respect for her if she did. I hate candidates being parachuted into constituencies.

Having said that, if she was parachuted into my constituency I'd still vote for her :-D

Merkel suggesting she no longer sees the US and UK as dependable allies....... BMW and Merc may have to adjust their sales targets

Fair enough. Let's see who she goes crying to when Putin starts knocking.

my grandad was ill and we put a load of Vicks on his back and after that he went downhill very rapidly.

Flavour of the month? Isn't she the equivalent of an unknown manager who has joined a badly run League 2 club, installed discipline and basic structures to take them to the play offs, and is now being tipped for the Arsenal job?

When Merkel claims the time is over where Germany can depend on support, what she really means is the days of domineering and getting what it wants are gone.

Quite the opposite. The USA is no longer interested in NATO, whose primary function is to protect Europe, we've made noises we're not so interested in it any more, oh! And we're leaving the EU.

We've handed Europe to the Germans, whether they like it or not and we've hastened the creation of a European army.

Importantly though we have ensured we wont be a part of it or have to pay for it.

Of course.

Lets see how these negotiations go first..

I'm sure Clegg told us that the EU army was a 'dangerous fantasy lie' Thank fuck it wasn't wrote on the side of a bus.

and made Europe a bloc completely in the hands of Germany and France - Trump made no secret of the fact that he does BIG deals and so the EU would come before likcle London England in any trade talks - as an isolationist plan I think Brexit is well on track

Indeed, remainers on here were telling us exactly the same. Now we're apparently assured it's going to happen.
Germans went to Afghanistan with instructions to leave the nasty fighting bit to the Brits and Yanks, the Italians
will be checking the reverse gear on their tanks are fully functioning, and the French will probably surrender soon, just in case.

It was always going to happen; the French have been pushing for it for years (They expect to lead it). I was part of the military under the control of the French in 1996 whilst they were trying it out. It wasn't successful - shocking eh!
It's a strange thing why a trading block would need a standing army. I suppose you need to do something with all those unemployed kids.
