It's starting to look a bit bleak, I've always defended Brexit on the basis of what people voted for but the march towards no-deal is madness.

It's almost as if some posters feel the need to say the exact same things over and over, week in, week out.

I read that last week on here and thought it a great fit for this thread and a few of it's posters.

I wonder what happened to "We will not see movement from the EU unless and until they are faced with the prospect of a viable walk-away option and the political will to use it"? It's now 30 days since Johnson's walk-away deadline and look where we are!

It was always a laughable belief and no doubt the fact that it didn't work will be blamed on Remainers. We'll probably be told that Johnson is a Remainer as well.

Tbf we'll never know because the Tory government never produced a viable walk-away option and never looked competent to do so. With less than a week to get a deal they are looking in to the abyss,



and the abyss is looking back.
 
And so, with a whimper not a bang, it was down to one. The last of The Vote Leave squad flounces out of Downing Street arrogantly through the front door. Died by the sword.Boris is left holding his baby, which is darkly fitting because he did more than anyone to conceive it.

There’s no one else now. No wonder he looks a beaten man.

There never was a viable walk-away option. Only a mutual worst case walk-away option.
 
Counting down the days until we enter utopia , the NHS with shit loads of money , being able to pick and choose which job I fancy , can’t believe how lucky I am , my future in the hands of Johnson , Gove and Rees mogg , just a pity the governor quit today . Anyway meeting Nigel later, going to throw pebbles at dinghies.
 
I wouldn't be surprised if Boris ran out of the door in the next few weeks thinking I'm not having this mess on my hands.
 
Looking at tomorrows headlines Johnson is in a lose lose situation.

It was always going to be thus but it depends which version of Brexit he accepts - a shit deal that allows Frost to blame it all on him or a N Deal that lets his party blame it all on him.

Johnson is fucked ..........doomed to be remembered as the worst PM we ever had or ....well...doomed to be be reme.....you get the drift

It sounds like some sort of air travel thingumy-whatsit may be required :-0

Air travel is affected and the method of transport is irrelevant. The processing and transportation of vaccines will soon require an export/import license due to the different jurisdictions.

Rapid approval of the virus in Europe will take place and distribution will be coordinated via European authorities, we won't be part of any of that anymore.

After that there is only time, time processing 50 million + vaccines, the export paperwork and transporting them through a border control system.

It's not ideal!

Nothing was ever going to be Brexit-ey enough for Farage. He’s a career heckler

Theresa May tried to appease the headbangers with ‘no deal is better than a bad deal’. Then rather than accept we need to compromise they jumped on the ‘no deal’ option. They will never be happy, primarily because what they want doesn’t really exist. Even if it did, it would be incompatible with the U.K. and the 21st century as a whole

This all comes down to the fall of the Empire and English exceptionalism. Look at it through that lens and this(and the pandemic fuck up for that matter) all makes sense
 
Heard an advert this morning advising Irish exporters/Importers to look at options for direct routes to Europe and avoid the land bridge.
They cited cost and non readiness of the UK.
I never expected it to be such a clusterfuck from the UK. Is bypassing the UK a viable long term option?
It would be great for NI if my thinking is correct?

It was obvious that this would happen. France, Ireland and the EU have been spending money to upgrade their ports to allow for increased capacity due to the land bridge becoming more expensive and subject to delays. Those that thought that the threat to transport between Ireland and continental Europe would be significant leverage for the UK were deluding themselves.
