Another new Brexit thread

[mcfc1632]

Let's all go mad and have another referendum then.

Yeah - lets'

Best start a campaign

Spanish media saying deal nearly done for Gibraltar to join Schengen area, which, ironically will leave it closer to EU than ever. This part of the news about EU Frontex controlling an internal border for the first time.

Edit: Now with link

‘British nationals traveling to Gibraltar from the UK will have to go through passport control, while Spaniards will be able to enter freely, if a new deal is cinched. The agreement would also give Gibraltarians open access to Spain and the Schengen Area’

Gibraltar to have border checks for UK arrivals, not for Spain, if deal is clinched

The role of European Frontex officers is the last hurdle to a last-minute agreement on the future relationship between the Rock and the surrounding area once the Brexit transition period ends

Again - seems entirely sensible

So, let’s take stock of progress to date.

Losses: Northern Ireland, Gibraltar, freedom of movement for UK nationals and higher trade barriers with Europe.

Gains: Blue passports, a bit more fish, lots of lorry parks.

Strange omission, you missed off:

Gains:

.......plus achieving a genuine Brexit that had seemed previously impossible and will be key to enabling the UK to be a successful economy for generations to come

EU pressing for UK to sweeten the offer on fish.

‘Michel Barnier has told ambassadors that the latest UK offer on fisheries is unacceptable. He said the EU side has made clear it is ready to negotiate to the end of the year and beyond‘. @FT

Yes, nothing says ‘successful’ economy like higher trade barriers, giant lorry parks and giving away sovereign territory.

If there was a single shred of even tenuous evidence that that was possibly going to be the case, every single Brexit loon the length of the country would be bangling on about it incessantly by now as a smokescreen for the chaos. We'd have heard nothing else from the likes of Baker, Rees Mogg, Farage, Banks and Hopkins, and The Mail, Express and Telegraph, for four and a half years years.

But they aren't. There's only you.

You missed out no access to Kent without a permit, but they’ve offset that by making it the toilet of England so no one would want to go anyway.

Here's me blaming the demersal fish for no deal.
I was wrong.
It's the fcuking pelagic fish!

 

[Vic]

Shit got real

I have an awful feeling you really think this is a major crisis for the French.

 

[crazyg]

Shit got real

Why couldn't they settle this like true diplomats?

They will be hoping that the UK get pressured into an extension - the EU would be willing to negotiate up to the end of 2024 and beyond;-)

When I look at the positives of a genuine Brexit - yep - nothing will say success like people accepting the reality in years to come
