Another new Brexit thread

[SWP's back]

No thanks - I would rather stick with democracy

Which is what is happening in parliament as we speak. And why we’ll have yet another postponement and a likely situation of revoking article 50.

Found this but it’s right wing so dismiss it if you like but google brings up some links to the story.

Although this one also reports in the ticker tape that aguero was involved in a crash on way to training !!

Nothing wrong with being right wing but the express have not got a fantastic reputation on factual accuracy

So one of the stumbling blocks is France are not happy with us leaving without restrictions upon us because they are worried we will became an attractive economic powerhouse on its doorstop and it does not want that!!!

What the fuck , I thought we were going to be fucked economically if we left, but actually the French are worried we will be too powerful economically ?

I’ve read you link in the Express and what the article says is most certainly not what you’ve posted there.

France wants to make EU markets less restricted whether Brexit happens or not. It says nothing about it being a stumbling block on the UK’s deal.

The article is fine. The issue is the poster’s reading of the article.

They were discussing it on politics live at lunchtime, but you probably know better than me on what I am watching in my own living room

Oh Snap!

There is an assumption that the Tories will immediately repeal all workers rights and regulations because its is presumed they only exist in the first place because of the EU.

What they forget is the Tories will get a rude awakening in the polling booths if they tried to do so.

The EU question aside, not everyone on the centre/centre-right is in favour of 60 hour weeks and putting kids back down the pits...

Well they did advocate abolishing the Human Rights Act. i believe it is in their manifesto.

I was genuinely curious as I hadn’t heard that and it was different to what I’d read Macrons stance was earlier. There’s so much misinformation across the board and that one just didn’t sound right to me (I’m cynical about all of it nowadays!), couldn’t find anything when I looked earlier.

Top tip:

If you share a link to support a position, and that link makes no mention of the position you want it to support, expect people will pull you up on it.

 

[Coatigan]

Exactly. We're finally fulfilling Prussia's aim of isolating Britain.

Now there's a good historical reference!

If you do not have have a deep suspicion of everything on here then log off before passive cynicism sets in .luckily ive had the jab.........

 

[meltonblue]

What annoys me is you then have three people liking it and using it as justification for their own opinion and not even questioning if it’s valid, which is even more important in the world of googling on the fly making everyone think they’re experts, and social media misinformation.

I don't consider the EU to be enlightened, I consider it to be the world's biggest trade block, of which we're currently a senior member, that looks after itself. We used to act like cunts when we were the world's biggest trading block (see 'empire') so I don't understand why anyone would expect the EU to act differently.

True, we should invade Ethiopia then.

As we're working from the 18th century morality book

The Brexit deadline did indeed work to make a breakthrough. It worked in that it forced Johnson to make concessions.

Absolutely genius piling pressure on yourself to compromise.

Of all the mistakes when negotiating the biggest is binding yourself to an immovable timeline. The fact he got this wrong, as his first move, should have set alarms off with his fan club.

Wait, is that a time travel joke?

(im owning this now btw).

He did get plenty of likes though....

It was a historical joke. Ethiopia was the only African nation never to be colonised by a European power, discounting Liberia.

And what happened to the Tory majority as a result?
