    Eat it up Tax, the shit is hitting the fan and you with everyone else are going to get your portion.
    i havent exchanged any pounds for over 10 years, so from that perspective i'm not that concerned.

    what does concern me are the deep divisions in british politics and society now, they remind me of the yellow shirt red shirt rifts in thailand that have not yet healed and could resurface at any time.

    but an exit on wto terms doesnt scare me, as i've said all along, it will be a hard hit at first, but ultimately the country will benefit greatly from the unshackling. we will thrive, necessity being the mother of invention and all that. it will be a much needed rebooting of the country, provided corbyn and his ilk can be kept out of power, because if that weasly england hating snake gets in then all bets are off.

    There will of course be an amendment put forward to ensure a Hard Brexit (no agreement break from the EU) will not be allowed. It is the most insane idea ever known and will outshine Evil May Day of 1517, when a similar outbreak of xenophobia led to riots on the streets of London protesting about continentals popping over to live and work.

    I can't see why she would get her deal through. If there was the slightest hope on Tuesday I think she would have gone on to the vote but it was pointless with so many against it. Nothing has changed since then and Labour/DUP aren't going to support her and nor will quite a few Tories.

    Brexit is nothing more than a white elephant that has paralysed the UK for over 2 years. It will do noting to improve the UK national debt and it will do nothing to improve the economy.

    It is pissing against a fooking hurricane...

    You cant see how she will get her deal through? Well let me explain then, come the middle or end of March she tells parliament vote for my deal or it's a clean (you remoaners call it hard) Brexit. Mps cave in being scared of a clean Brexit and Mays deal sails through.

    The deadline is 21 January, which was the date specified in Article 50 when the UK must sign off on the deal. If she leaves it to this date and it doesn't go through then Brexit is kicked into touch...

    No it isn't as the default position is leaving with no deal you can thank arch remoaner Gina Miller and her court case for that if no deal is signed off by parliament hence the panic will start to kick in. Obviously the UK can apply to extend article 50 but all 27 countries will have to agree.

    The USSR collapsed due to corruption and centralisation of government.

    The Disunited states of the European Socialist Republic have had a good run since the end of WW2.

    But it's served it's purpose and the unelected beauracrats at the trough are going to be retiring in their tax havens.

    The future will be a lot more prosperous for the Great Britain once we are unshackled from that lead weight around our necks,that is the EU.

    The rest of Europe will look on with envy and crave our business.

    As for the backstop,it's a non issue.

    What economic migrant would want to spend time there?
    They'd be off back home as soon as marching season kicks off.
    Just make sure the border force is reinforced at all Irish/northern irish arrival points.

    If the Scottish aren't happy then give them independence and rebuild Hadrians wall, put the SNP to work and halt their subsidies and the Barnett formula .

    You are another remainer living in dreamland. While the outcome is not clear for many, the deal has already been bought and paid for by the money men.
    Like many others, you fail to understand the pragmatism and reality of politics in general. Though the country and its political elites are divided, they will exploit any division between UK and the EU by settling for reality. The boundary between individual countries is not as hard as the one put up by silly EU drunks.

    Nations have cooperated in their own best interests for years now, and to hell with the EU. Defense is a prime example. The French did not have any logistic capability to go to the DRC a few years ago. Only the UK could assist with that, and help was willingly given. How do you think policing works at the Calais refugee camp. Cooperation between two security and police forces is the only way it works.
    Why do you think that is Troy? It’s one of many examples of cross boundary international support between pragmatic and realistic ministries in both countries. Absolutely nothing to do with Euro diktats. It happens despite the commission, not because of it.
    That kind of real support is worth saving and both sides know it. So there are areas of mutual support that will survive the petty stupidity of the EU.

    The worst case scenario is a GE. That opens the door to Corbyn who would happily grant a second referendum, which will confirm that the country is still divided.
    Talk about a lame duck government!

    No GE and No 2R. May’s deal or no deal. As I said, sadly the result has already been paid for. In truth the money men are not too bothered what happens now. The speculation on currencies caused by their interference has already ensured their future, the bastards.

    The result no longer matters. Whoever comes out on top will inherit yet more chaos, a politically, socially and culturally divided country. The only upside to that, is no immigrants will want to live in UK.

    Personally I have decided that a hard Brexit is the only answer, if only to watch the EU trough emptied after Germany refuses to keep pouring money in to it. The consequent squealing from Junker and Tusk will be worth it alone. You see, Butterfly is not the only one who can be spiteful and vindictive, the little shit stirring troll. lol

    so now the EU is preparing for hard Brexit, and starting to leak new conditions for the future of UK/EU relationship

    Brexit: No visa but Britons will pay €7 to travel to EU countries
    https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-46564884

    Britons will have to pay €7 (£6.30) every three years to travel to EU countries, as a consequence of Brexit.

    The European Commission has confirmed that while UK travellers will not need a visa, they will need to apply for and buy another document.

    It is called an ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorisation System) and although not launched yet, is expected to come into force in 2021.

    The travel requirement is not just for the UK but for many non-EU countries.

    you guys are soooo fucked, you don't even know it
    Chuckle to your heart's content on a no deal, but you're irrelevant since that is the one option none of the gods want. They want us in, as expensive a soft Brexit as they can get with little to nothing in return; that's the goal of negotiations in which they clearly bested.

    Now a few concessionary crumbs, though 'clarifications' sounds better, enough for May to emulate a triumphant Chamberlain, then we settle down to trying to make it work, which it won't because it's not in the dying gods' interest to do so.

    I agree a train wreck is due, and the UK will suffer terrible fallout as the monster finally sinks to its knees.

    This despite apparently shitting themselves about a hard Brexit according to Switch. So either they're fantastic poker players or they have all the cards.

    its 1.25 and 1.11, and has been for the past few days.

    not great i admit, but considering all the nonsense going on at the moment i think the pound is holding up remarkably well.
    Eurozone is dead meat, the only reasons to buy Euro is if you're obliged to go there or you don't like money.

    Big questions nobody dares to answer, or ask: Who will be first in line for the next round of illegal bailouts, Greece, Italy, or will it be one of the other bankrupt vassal states? How will Frau cope without her UK piggy bank? Do any of the chortlers believe what recently happened in France will not spread to other parts of the EU?

    And for Troy and dragon: how many non-EU military vehicles bearing EU insignia will be dusted off for use against EU citizens, and when the victims realise their greatest enemy is not China or Russia but their own leaders will they be less or more than delighted?

    On a postcard please, first set of right answers out of the hat gets visitor rights to the UK when kersplosh!

    of course it is, I am quite surprised how delusional you Brits are

    I knew you were a bit, most aspiring to live in a projected lala land, but now I see your politicians are fucking living in it FULL TIME

    so now we know why you have been such a pain all those years for all those reforms, you were not actually there

    All worked well before we were coerced in to joining the shitty union. No reason to say that it won't work again.

    Get real, they're so corrupt and incompetent it'll cost them more than €7 to collect each €7; good luck with that, hope it fares better than the Norwegian Blue aka Schengen.

    That's a joke, right?

    The world wants visitors because visitors spend money. The EU opens its borders to millions of broke economic immigrants, while concocting a scheme to deter and rip off visitors with money to spend?

    Someone should tell you your gods ain't on your side.

    Both, which ought to be clear by now, but chalk and cheese since it doesn't follow that they know what to do with their winnings.

    Virtual £$ parity already, $1.05 and €0.92 at Heathrow, though that's opportunist rather than market rates.

    EU citizens and British citizens will maintain reciprocal free movement.

    Try using the NHS when you go to UK on holiday, and all French people will get a bill. That’s called reciprocal vitriol for invertebrates.
