    this is what passes for brexit discussion these days. be it politicians, tv pundits or husband and wife.

    there is no middle ground, no discussion, no consensus on anything. just blinkered entrenchment and ever increasing abuse. the uk is divided as it never has been, not tory and labour, but leave or remain, and now even the fucking second division, i.e. the micks, the sweaties and the welsh, have started to throw their weight around and are wanting to join in.

    its a doghouse indeed.

    guy verhofstadt, the brussels brexit secretary, said shortly after the referendum result was announced, "well, the british have gone and shot themselves in the foot, and now we are going to shoot them in the other one"

    how right he was.

    I don't think having Boris in charge is much help. He's not exactly a model of calmness and common sense, is he?

    Doing me a big favour though, dollar/sterling is fucking awesome.

    But Tax, Brexit was a triumph of the dogmatic lunatic right wing fringe of the loopy Tory party deluding a credulous and dull witted ignorant majority into thinking that blowing their leg off would make them run faster.
    You can't legislate for such stupidity but no-one was prepared for the degree of fuckwittery spouted by bozo Brexit spazzos claiming the EU is a protectionist organisation taking over England.

    I've told you before, you are going to look like such an arsehole in time to come in much the same way you looked like a steaming great twat when you wore flares, sported a mullet and dangled your medallion.

    ^^ nonsense, utter tosh, and you know it.
    a fair deal, negotiated in good faith by honorable politicians would have satisfied both the brits and our cousins in euroland. instead, anger, pique, ego, vested interests and intransigence in brussels and in westminster have made the democratic wishes of the majority of british people all but impossible.

    the only people who look like arseholes are the politicians.

    Boris now allegedly saying we may remain in the single market and customs union, just bring on the general election and let Sir Nigel of Farage take over. I'm starting to think the Belgian of North African descent might actually be right and we are never going to leave.

    I wondered why he sent me a red without posting as normally he cant resist posting his pointless, tedious, inane drivel all over the forum, so must presume he has a SC ban.

    I rather think it was the fucking idiots who administer this site who trashed it, you jabbering moron.

    TD is a travesty of its former self.

    Truly admin now are no more than stunted mental pygmies lumbering through the thickets of their ineptitude.

    Still, 14,716 posts wasn't a bad effort even though it was spawned by an earlier thread stupidly binned by the mofo retard admin.

    Ahh, well, what can you say, eh?

    £ now at 37.39 baht.

    Grim prospects for a long summer vacation, and notwithstanding the reduction in the interest rate, the exchange rate with the USD remains anchored at $1.21

    I wager you finally smartened up, realised what a twat you've been and trashed it to destroy the evidence. Would have included squirrel and the Belgian, but those poor things are terminal.

    BREXIT - there are 5 options - 6 if you include the Doghouse

    BREXIT is still potentially on - despite the best efforts of some. There are 5 ways it could play and the following is taken from the Brussel Broadcasting Corp webthingy

    linky :- https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-46393399

    Brexit: What happens now?


    New UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson says he plans to renegotiate the Brexit deal agreed with the EU by his predecessor Theresa May. He says he is committed to leaving on 31 October come what may.


    That does not mean we can be certain about what will happen. There are still many possible outcomes.


    Mrs May's deal with the EU had two main elements - a binding withdrawal agreement (on the terms of the UK's departure) and a non-binding political declaration (on the shape of the long-term future relationship). The deal was resoundingly rejected by MPs.


    Mr Johnson's plan is to negotiate with the EU to remove the Northern Ireland backstop from the withdrawal agreement (WA). The backstop was designed to ensure there could be no return to a hard border on the island of Ireland. (It would keep the UK in a customs union with the EU if there is no free trade agreement that avoids a hard border ie physical infrastructure and checks on goods.)


    Mr Johnson would also like changes to the political declaration.


    The difficulty is that up to now the EU has consistently said it will not reopen the withdrawal agreement, although the EU is open to changes to the political declaration. Mr Johnson insists they will reconsider now it is clear that the British government is prepared to leave without a deal. And he says that the backstop is unnecessary to prevent a hard border.


    Another factor is time. Nothing much is usually done in Brussels during August, and the new European Commission does not take office until 1 November.


    Mr Johnson is determined that Brexit should happen on 31 October, even if a new deal has been agreed in principle but not ratified and brought into law. In those circumstances there would almost certainly be questions about whether a short delay was sensible.


    Perhaps the biggest question, though, is what would happen if no new deal is negotiated - or if MPs reject whatever new deal is brought back.

    OPTION 1 No deal


    No-deal Brexit is still the default outcome if MPs cannot agree anything else and there are no further extensions. The deadline is 31 October.


    It would also be possible for MPs to back a no-deal Brexit, although there has been a majority against that option when they have voted on it before.


    There has been considerable discussion about whether MPs would be able to stop no deal if the new prime minister was determined to press ahead.


    It has been suggested Mr Johnson could prorogue Parliament to let a no-deal Brexit happen. Proroguing effectively means Parliament is shut down - there would be no debates or votes.


    In July, MPs and Lords voted for a measure that attempts to stop Parliament being closed down.


    If MPs did want to oppose no-deal Brexit and did get a chance to do so, their ultimate weapon would be ousting the prime minster through a confidence vote.

    I was just thinking this morning that what this forum is lacking is a thread on BREXIT...

    OPTION 2 Another no-confidence vote


    Theresa May's government survived a vote of no confidence on 16 January by 325 votes to 306. Labour could table a no confidence motion in the new government at any time.


    Under the Fixed Term Parliaments Act 2011, UK general elections are only supposed to happen every five years. The next one is due in 2022.


    But a vote of no confidence lets MPs vote on whether they want the government to continue. The motion must be worded: "That this House has no confidence in Her Majesty's Government."


    If a majority of MPs vote for the motion then it starts a 14-day countdown.


    If during that time the current government or any other alternative government cannot win a new vote of confidence, then an early general election would be called.


    That election cannot happen for at least 25 working days.
