Thread: Brexit - It's Still On!

Prior to Brexit, the language of choice for the EU was English. The French and Germans could (and did) argue as much as they liked but English is the international language of choice.

Post Brexit, English may still be preferable but both the French and Germans have a better case to put their language forward.

Brexit is ludicrous on so many levels and it'll take decades to repair the damage caused in the last couple of years.

Still at least I found the wife's Christmas present, found in England at a decent price as a direct result of Brexit.

Last couple of years I've lost my fear of shopping in England.

Brexit: May rejects all alternatives to her EU exit deal
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-46394431

so now Tax has come to his senses and he is backing Maybot deal,

what about our other resident independent thinkers whi support Brexshit ?

what about Seeking? does he support the deal rather any other alternatives?

what are these people smoking ?

"Labour argues a better deal could still be done but the PM has said they have not put forward a proper alternative."

I don't get it, the Torries want to join again the Common Market with free movement ?

"It is widely expected that MPs will reject the EU withdrawal agreement and blueprint for a future trade deal agreed with the EU.

In anticipation of this happening, some MPs are trying to mobilise support for the so-called "Norway Plus" option, which they claim could win support across the House of Commons.

Under their plan, the current withdrawal agreement would be honoured but the UK would seek to rejoin the European Free Trade Association, which it belonged to before entering the European Economic Community in 1973 - on an indefinite basis. "

Dressed and ready to be carved, all that's missing is an apple in the mouth!

While the alternative to accepting the deal appears to be a calamity, it's probably better than giving those that cannot possibly succeed unless you fail the legal tools to effectively replace HMgov with unelected dictators; bit ironic too, considering Brexit was touted in part a democratic exercise aimed at saving the UK from that very fate. But regardless of their victory lap there's no such thing as the door being closed to negotiations, or a treaty or contract that cannot be revised, as demonstrated by the Lisbon Treaty, so while the gods bring out the champers I reckon they're buffing and a rejection of this prank deal could result in further negotiations.

Worst way, as the EU has open borders there's nothing to stop us going over to live with dragonfly in Molenbeek.

It's your bold and increasingly arrogant neighbour you should be watching, rather than getting off on the Brexit debacle.

There are 24 Official EU languages. Anyone can and does speak any of them on official EU business.

English is probably the de facto global language of choice as a second language and will most likely remain that way.

It doesn't matter what the garlic munchers and the huns use to babble on in the European parliament, because it won't concern us.

Delegations from the UK and U.S. finalized a post-Brexit open skies agreement during a new round of talks in Washington D.C. on Wednesday. The new bilateral air services agreement calls for liberal market access with no restrictions on capacity, frequency, or pricing on routes to and from airports in both countries and provides a solution for the thorny issue of traffic rights to the U.S. for UK airlines not majority owned and effectively controlled by UK nationals.


The sides expected to reach a deal in May, but ownership and control (O&C) of British airlines became a stumbling block. The U.S. wanted UK airlines to be majority owned by UK interests while London sought to scrap foreign O&C limitations of its airlines to safeguard their traffic rights after the country leaves the bloc and falls out of the scope of the current EU-U.S. open skies. The agreement defines EU airlines as majority owned and effectively controlled by EU or European Economic Area (EEA) interests – the 28 EU countries plus Norway, Iceland, and Lichtenstein. The U.S. places a limit of 25 percent on foreign ownership of its airlines.

The legally binding annex 1 of the draft agreement seen by AIN gives so-called grandfather rights to UK registered airlines substantially owned by EEA interests. The feature should allow carriers like British Airways, Virgin Atlantic Airways, and Norwegian Air UK (NUK) to continue flying to the U.S. Oslo-based Norwegian Air Shuttle owns NUK, Richard Branson’s Virgin Group still owns 51 percent of Virgin but he will sell 31 percent to Air France-KLM for £220 million under a deal brokered by Delta Air Lines, which now owns a 49 percent stake in the London-based airline. The situation at BA’s parent IAG remains more opaque and the Anglo-Spanish group must still clarity whether British or EU interests hold the majority of its ownership.

In a win for U.S. negotiators and labor, the agreement’s O&C provisions protect against the future entry of EU airlines into the profitable transatlantic market from the UK, Europe’s largest market for traffic to the U.S. The U.S. authorities also will get to review the grandfathered O&C rights when the airlines change their ownership in future.

Theresa "EU Federalist" May makes a slip of the tongue admitting she has been working and negotiating on the side of the EU....


Well we knew that all along. Only a complete fool would believe she has been actually trying to uphold the referendum result. Ain't that right Harry?

A better alternative deal could be had by simply pulling back Article 50.

Maybot's 'only deal in the eu village' is a remain deal on worse terms than before, that pleases exactly no one.

I don't think A50 can simply be revoked once it has been triggered; would need to renegotiate a new round of punitive measures. Likewise a second vote if it happens and Remain wins; though they'd be delighted to have us stay it's not a formality and would involve an entirely new and expensive saga to u-turn.

From here it's looking as though May is guaranteed VIP access to the EU trough when she leaves DS.

It's not going well for May...

Brexit: Minister resigns over Theresa May's 'naive' deal
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-46407249

A UK minister has resigned saying a row over involvement in the EU's Galileo satellite-navigation system exposes Theresa May's Brexit deal as "naive".

The UK had wanted to stay part of Galileo after Brexit, but the EU said it would be banned from the extra-secure elements of the programme.

Mrs May confirmed on Friday that the UK was pulling out of the project.

Science minister Sam Gyimah said the row was "a clarion call" and that any deal with Brussels would be "EU first".

The UK's interests "will be repeatedly and permanently hammered by the EU27 for many years to come", he added in a Facebook post setting out his reasons for resigning.

Mr Gyimah, who is the 10th minister to resign from the government since Mrs May set out her original proposals for leaving the EU at Chequers in July, also said he would be voting against the deal she had eventually negotiated with Brussels.

so basically, out of our great SAT project after you paid for it
