^^ What's with the question mark? :bananaman:
It's a written version of upspeak, a type of intonation used by Australians, children, and idiots. It turns every statement into a question. The only legitimate users are Australians, it's a fundamental part of their idiom. Non-Australians over 12 years old who use it are idiots, it's a shibboleth for lack of intelligence when used by non-ozzies.Quote:

^ There are no benefits to be gained by leaving the EU. The UK needs freedom of trade and freedom of movement. The UK needs the EU. It's time the UK learnt more about the EU and its advantages rather than whining on the sideline all the time.
Wish I could agree, because about the best result I can think of for UK right now and under current conditions is A50 revocation; and had our glorious leader not fallen to her knees and committed her gov to even more concessions for this extension it's quite likely that would have happened.Quote:

Well you've managed over a month without a u-turn until now. Probably a personal best.Quote:

Total victory to the EU, abject capitulation by the goodies.
Rather short sighted for such an esteemed persona, eh?Quote:

The LT was born after the EU's failed attempt to pass the EU Constitution; having been rejected by France and the Netherlands, the EU stepped in to 'democratically' cancel scheduled votes in UK, Ireland, Denmark, Portugal and a couple other member states, then refashioned it into the Lisbon Treaty keeping key parts of the failed Constitution while the gods of the day dropped or watered down more controversial aspects.
Only a fool or someone making up fictional facts would even suggest, never mind stoutly claim that the LT, a reconstituted Constitution, has no effect on the UK or ftm any other member state!
Well, it seems from the recent leaked cabinet record of recent meetings, the Civil Service has now been told to stand down from its hard Brexit preparation planning.
No question that the EU got one over us big time.Quote:

Continuous extensions until revoke or surrender Treaty.Quote:

ok this is what happened behind closed doors in the negotiation and why Macron conceded to the extension
In essence, Merckel doesn't want to see the UK leaves, and will do anything to delay their exit. Her influence in the EU is still strong. In the late night session, Macron was isolated with Belgium and Spain against everyone else. Merkel wanted to go with more than 1 year, possibly 2 years flexible extension. Macron fiercely opposed to it, and the new date was set for 6 months instead.
