Right. Pub breakfast (not Wetherspoons) then foodbank collection in supermarket. Might have a watching brief for the thread but apart from sniping about whether Johnson is going for alignment or border checks, I'm not sure how much time to waste on it!

It is now obvious that Brexit will mean inconvenience and added costs for imports and exports, for any Brit travelling to the EU, and for some intangible and spurious concept of sovereignty, freedom and....

I interrupt this rant to bring you the guy in a Leeds pub last night recorded (apparently seriously) saying he's been wanting to leave since he was five and lost sixpence from his pocket money in 1972 - because it changed to two and a half p. Thick doesn't come into it.
 
Just checked in on this thread, 680 new messages since 9 17 yesterday. No way can I read all them, can someone summarise, has something happened?
We’re now Great Britain (again), professional negotiator wage potential has quadrupled, and Katie Hopkins has been ****ed off.

That about sums it up.
 
If it was a Labour meeting it could very easily have been 8 Jewish customers that got up and left.

Not sure on boycotting businesses but I do know the country just boycotted your anti-Semitic party.

Do enjoy your Brexit Vic.
Boycotting a 'Brexit' business, so that's all of them then, good luck with the weekly shop.
 
You don’t think it’s insulting to essentially call another poster a liar. You seem to be suffering from the same problem.

It's never stopped you dave.

Do you have any mirrors at home or have they all been smashed in temper tantrums the last 3 years?
 
Thread was essentially good humoured all last night and it's now back to its bitterest best.

Oh well, I'm up for several more years of it if everyone else is?

Ahh, yes, I forgot to add: the reconciliation and magnanimity has begun!
 
So what happens next?

Early March: official negotiations between the UK & the EU begin.

June: there will be a summit during which both sides can evaluate progress. Seemingly a deal on fishing has to be agreed by the end of June (I have no idea why).

July 1st: this is the latest date for the UK to request either a one or two year extension to the transition period (there is zero chance of such a request being made).

November: the EU says the end of November is the latest point for a deal to be agreed so that it can be ratified by the 27 member states. This sounds about right. It will be more simple for the UK to ratify any deal but even so Parliamentary time would be needed to get it on the statute book.

December 31st: the transition period ends and it will either be replaced with a trade agreement or no deal / WTO terms.

That’s a short time frame to reach an agreement but even if the transition period was say five years agreement would only be reached at the very end. There is probably some rule that states that any negotiation has to take up all the time allotted to it.
