Is that Macron?

Going off his speech yesterday I'd say he is worried as the reality of the situation has just dawned on him.
 
I see it as the UK ending a political relationship with Europe and beginning a new friendship.
I seem to have 70 pages to catch up on

Hopefully it will an enjoyable read and I will find that the Remainers and Leavers have been able to put any past issues behind them and have come together to hope for the best for the UK

Fingers crossed

Get to around midnight, it's a laugh a minute ;)
 
They are choosing to speak and represent our country in their eyes, each clip of these people is embarrassing us as a nation.

No they aren't, I didn't consent for them to speak for me. I don't look at the world in that way, but it's your prerogative to have your own mind bud.

They can choose what they like but they don't represent me or our nation.

You thinking they do and being embarrassed by them is your problem.
 
The Withdrawal Agreement lays out the sequencing for future talks. We agreed that fishing rights would be not only agreed by June but ratified by both sides. Financial Services is also scheduled for agreement by June but not ratification. EU moved to ensure that areas where the UK has leverage are taken off the table as early as possible.

That says to me then that a substantive deal will have to be agreed by the end of June as there is no way that fishing or financial services will be signed off by the UK without agreement on things we want.

I still expect a deal to be agreed (with possibly some things parked) but clearly the UK is going to be as equally aggressive in the negotiations as the EU so there is a chance that they will break down fairly quickly.
 
I haven't got any political leanings because the political parties have taken that choice away from me, this toing and froing posting one side versus the other side is tragic on so many levels. I genuinely voted for Labour in the last election to give Corbyn a chance to run a country instead of running his own mouth off and I voted to remain because I didn't want my non UK based family to be hindered by any regulations.

But that said and done I am resigned to making a good deal out of a bad situation, someone on here said that they thought that if the Tories had been against Brexit and Labour had pushed for it then a lot of remainers would have supported it, the reason why we are in the situation we are in now is that X-factor politics has dragged the bitterness from a few vocal ideologues into the forefront.
Fair enough. I don’t disagree that public discourse has been dragged in to the mud — I would say to the trough but pigs are actually much more intelligent and reasonable than some of the loudest voices in the leave/remain debate these days.

I voted remain, and staunchly defend my stance against Brexit, as most know. I’m part-Spanish, with half my family living there, with a missus from Switzerland (with her family living there and Germany), and am currently living in the US, so I’ve obviously got certain considerations that will lead me to my views.

But, as I said last night (or this morning, it’s all blur), all we have now — regardless of your persuasion — is to stop the warfare and work together to make what comes next as optimal an outcome as possible for all of us.

We can’t put the genie back in the bottle, we can only be careful to use any remaining wishes wisely.
 
Good to read this as I wake up to the first day of a new era in the UK
As I read on to catch up with the thread I hope to find a new wave of positivity from the diehards and this article should have helped
I do not know what it is like in Manchester today, but FWIW where I live it is a blue sky and sunny this morning - as is entirely appropriate
Blue skies here in Manchester too -
"the sun shines on the righteous and the unrighteous alike"
- nothing but Blue Skies from now on ;)
 
Some quotes from Parliament Square last night:
'Get back our courts from Germany
350 million extra NURSES
LEAVING BREXIT on a Friday night.'

Last one made me chuckle

There was also a lot of other stuff which was sickening and disgusting.

Brexit Britain 2020.
 
Here’s an article from the Guardian that is as rabidly pro-Remain as it gets (even for Remain Central). Remainers on here should love it whereas I found it to be laughably shite...opinions eh?

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/feb/01/brexit-pointless-masochistic-ambition-history-done
FFS - what an incredibly bitter article - really sorry that I bothered to read it - fucking awful and (nearly) spoilt my wonderful mood this morning

As I catch up the next 70 pages I hope there is not evidence of such butthurt bitterness from BMs diehard Remainers - time to move on and support the UK's interests
