If you offered me that, I’d snap your hand off.

The trouble is the ERG and others won’t accept that. Immigration is too large an issue for too many and the Tories don’t want to disappoint their MP’s or right wing voters.

It’s not emotive, it’s the truth. Brexit is a terrible idea, even the above is worse than what we currently have.

It doesn’t matter what the erg think. If you get that and propose it and labour back it ( you know because they have said that they would do everything in their power to stop a no deal brexit), that’s it it’s done and passed.
 
Yep, and funnily enough the leave campaign decided that such a fundamental issue was not worthy of mention. Not when they were busy having fun talking about fantasties and lies anyway.
??? you would have thought that it would have been more appropriate for the Remain side to bring this out - no?

Why would the Leave campaign have made this a big issue?

So if there is blame - it is with the Remain side

Unfortunately, the EU have now weaponised the subject and a situation that could have been resolved with 2 or parties working together in goodwill probably can not now be resolved because a) May was pathetic in agreeing to the unacceptable backstop and b) The EU and Varadkar have got to a place where they cannot be seen to back down from

I can see it now, Tories renegotiate a new deal, one that guarentees the protection of jobs, worker's rights, human rights, freedom of movement, freedom of labour, GFA, trade, economy.

Labour: rejects deal because the Tories came up with it and would make them 'look good'.

All true. Johnson is too shit scared of the BXP and the ERG to do it though.
 
They will seek to exploit uncertainty of which economic uncertainty is a part. Given the reaction to the bombing at the border in the Irish press I don’t think they are in the least bit ‘tickled’. Not sure the police officers who escaped death are feeling ‘tickled’ either.
So you feel that the CIRA should be allowed to dictate the key policies of the UK?

The Remain side should put that on the side of a bus
 
We will be and it will be because we’ve not signed the Withdrawal Agreement, the EU have signed it.

Ball back in Johnson’s court.
Our Parliament rejected it. The person who created it is no longer in a position to negotiate.

EU must agree to a deal with the UK Government, not Theresa May. Both her and the WA are now an irrelevancy, consigned to history.

The ball is indeed in Johnson's court, and he's hit it right back saying "we need to re-negotiate".

EU: "Fault!"

If it means remaining in the EU thats exactly what they suggest and would accept.

Nope, Labour would accept it and Johnson would be immediately toppled and there would be an election straight away. In other words, it's not happening.
 
Smuggling time again.

Organised crime in both the north and south must be laughing their tits off at suggestions that smuggling will become rife in the event of a no deal brexit and are probably sat thinking they cant wait to start their own smuggling operations as its never been done before.

No hard border from us Bob so what will Dublin do when Brussels tells them it has to happen?

Its their SM and CU after all.

And do you really believe we will adopt two different border policies? Two different immigration policies? Two different customs policies? One for NI and one for everywhere else? Do you really believe that is sustainable?

If we stick to the no land border commitment we will inevitably end up with a sea border.
 
Tory Chairman James “not so” Cleverly has said the Tories aren’t releasing the full no deal Brexit warnings, of which some were leaked because “people wouldn’t understand the nature of it”.

Surely if there’s nothing to worry about they’d quash people’s anxiety?
Sharing contingency planning requires the ability for people to comprehend context - and not wilfully misuse information

Recent events have demonstrated that the Govt. is quite wise to make this assessment
 
Rubbish. I don’t recall the leaflet from the government, which was advocating remain, raising the issue of the problem of the GFA.

I don’t recall any detailed debates about Northern Ireland or warning from remainer side at the time of the referendum. I understand the issue was given airings in Ireland but not on the mainland

. I have also been on this thread long enough to know that this issue wasn’t debated on the original brexit thread either, prior to the vote. Those who were on that original thread will hopefully recall it was never really debated in any detail ( if at all)

The truth of the matter is the issue of brexit and it’s impact for remaining is actually a very good reason for remaining and like so many things on the remain side it was never raised at all as

They were too arrogant and thought people would vote remain, so they didn’t need to try; and
It’s easier and more fun to call people thick and racist.

Like soft brexit , the issue of Northern Ireland is a post result hook that the remain side have jumped onto now like they always knew it was going to be a problem. Well, you should have advocated your point at the time of the referendum not after, if you were all so clever as to realise the issue.

Btw Am still awaiting Gibraltar, but you are probably saving that chip once Ireland is resolved.

You don't recall....

Maybe all those papers that didn't influence anyone all ignored it.

But didn't you read the Parliamentary report on it before the referendum?


See my post above . He also used the service sector - not wise

For the record I could not give a fuck about free movement . Anything that allows pep , Laporte , Silva Bernardo to move back and forth and for their families to visit when they want uninhibited is fine by me. I will need it.

As soon as my son leaves school for uni. I am out of this shithole.

I try not to be mean, but maybe nowhere will want you. Please tell us you're not planning on going to an EU country.
 
As would I, but May didn't want it.

Who cares about the ERG, the Tories, May, Parliament. This is about what the infrastructure of the people and businesses of the UK wants, and we want a deal, but our "Parliamentarians" are not listening to us or what we want, because they're too busy playing party politics or obsessing over "powah".

Brexit is not a terrible idea, because you just said "If you offered me that, i'd snap your hand off" That IS a 'brexit', one of many solutions that have been overlooked by May. There was my EFTA preferred option, the ideal "soft brexit" that solved all these raised issues; ignored.

A no deal brexit is a terrible idea, granted, but as has been pointed out, few are or were ever in favour of it and May's WA was supported only by herself and her lackies. Brexit is not worse than we currently have; having an FTA in Europe but being free to create more FTA's with other nations on other continents is "bad"? Remember that the EU only entered into trade deals that IT chose. Surely TTIP should be an example of what happens when you solely allow the EU to "negotiate" on our behalf.

The trouble is many of the voting public who voted Brexit want an end to freedom of movement, it’s not as simple as what’s best for the country because people’s opinions often mean we don’t get what is best.

Brexit is an awful idea, a FTA is worse than what we have, it’s an alright situation to end up in considering what’s happened and I’d snap your hand off because the alternative is much worse.
 
And at some point you have to realise that by voting for Brexit we have created space for them to exploit. This isn’t about ‘scaring people’. It’s about pointing out the inevitablity of where actions can lead. The status quo worked because enough people on both sides got enough out of it to be content with it. By threatening to change that status quo you change that delicate balance and you create space for the fringe to grow.
So you feel that the CIRA should be allowed to dictate the key policies of the UK?

The Remain side should put that on the side of a bus
