you need to calm the fook down, you are taking this way too seriously

Brexit is the best thing to happen for the EU, and that's a fact

anyway, you have been missing in action during the whole debate, so again you have no fooking clue

Quite amusing that finally BoJo is spelling it out for the lower classes and other munters that after 1.1.21 it's back to 31.12.72 and all Brits will be coons in Europe again with no privileges and no more benefits. No more frictionless trade, no more free movement, no more cheap goods, no more ease of travel, no more anything really, just more regulations, more taxes, more bureaucracy, and more expense.

Still, for the EU, as Butters says, it means no more lower end trash infesting the Med with impunity, no more Brit criminals lounging about Spain, and an EU now free to develop in a direction that is no longer impeded by Brit myopia.

So, what is it Brits are going to sell to the world after 1.1.21 it couldn't sell before that date?

^ you are right, all that arse ache to get to europe, now where will they go and spend their money? You seem to genuinely think life started in 73' - 55555

I see Portugal are on the cusp of imposing a tax thats been on the offing for a while...hope that doesn't affect your plans Sausage, oh no of course you and your bloke have Oirish passaaportes

Chocks away

I love it that Sausages thinks that the UK have more to lose.

He didn't get any ideology apart from that fed to him by his lords in the CS, a life after which he fuk'd up and saddled himself with a bloke in a flat in cesspool bay - i do feel for you genuinely but you need to lighten up, you are myopic.

Looks like the UK is fook'd, we have nowhere to go. Life as we know it has ended.

See i prefer to also look at it this way, wtf is the EU offering the world....not a whole lot that can't be got elsewhere is the answer. So lets watch this space whilst all the millennials cry into their passports.

EU leaders tell UK to expect tough Brexit trade negotiations


Brussels warned Britain that “strength does not lie in splendid isolation” as the European Union’s flag was taken down from the British embassy, marking the end of the UK’s membership of the bloc.

At dusk, without fanfare, and with the sirens of passing police car screaming in the background, an official reached out from a top window of the UK’s permanent representation in the Belgian capital in what was nevertheless a moment of high symbolism.

In the most telling reaction of European leaders to the day, when asked whether he had called Boris Johnson to offer his congratulations, the Dutch prime minister, Mark Rutte, responded by telling reporters there were no grounds for congratulations.

The Irish prime minister, Leo Varadkar, described it as a “bittersweet” moment after over three years of uncertainty for Ireland about the border.

Earlier in the day, Ursula von der Leyen, the European commission president, wished Britons well, but vowed to fight for the EU’s interests in the coming negotiations over the future relationship.

“We want to have the best possible relationship with the United Kingdom, but it will never be as good as membership,” she said. “Our experience has taught us that strength does not lie in splendid isolation, but in our unique union.

“It is clear Europe will defend its interests in a determined manner. Only those who acknowledge rules of internal market can benefit from the common market.”

“As the sun rises tomorrow, a new chapter for our union of 27 begins. Tomorrow is not the end but a beginning,” she said. “Tomorrow, almost half a century of the UK’s membership of the EU is over. When the UK joined I was still at school, we were six member states; tomorrow we will be 27 member states.

“All these years, 47-plus years, our union has gained political impetus and become a global powerhouse,” she added.

Charles Michel, the former Belgian prime minister who is now president of the European council, told reporters the EU wanted to have the closest ties possible with the UK, but added: “We have to be very clear, if the UK decides to diverge from EU standards it will have less access to the single market.”

David Sassoli, the president of the European parliament, said Brexit marked “a wound” and it was a chance to take stock of Britain’s decision.

Sassoli, an Italian MEP from the socialist group in the parliament, claimed the EU was a bulwark against the unfettered use of strength on the global stage. “Ask yourselves this: why does everyone want to divide us today? Because when there are common rules, we live better and defend those who are weaker. Where there are no rules, only the strongest prevail.”

'The irony is we got things right by 2015': UK's Brussels envoys on Brexit

Earlier in the day, Brexit party MEPs staged a procession from the steps of the European parliament into the adjacent square, before preparing to catch a mid-morning Eurostar train to London.

For once i agree with the Guardian, its about a chance to change because we can't keep on doing what we have been doing and we can't change inside the EU.

Why Brexit is a chance to fix the UK economy’s long-term problems

Travel and trade will continue for the next eleven months. The EU will continue with its self important obsession, until the eleventh hour, when they will opt for a reasonable deal on the joint future of UK and the EU.
Dont worry, because the mouthpiece Barnier will continue to feed you morsels of hope for now

Sure not everything will be negotiated and agreed by eoy, but by then enough will be to preserve the status quo or some stopgap while the rest are being dealt with.

Meanwhile the first and great psychological hurdle is over, £ was >40 yesterday a.m. and now >41, long way to go though it looks like the real world is chuckling at your pathological obsession with $ parity. Do share, what should we expect next?

Possibly the actual delivery of some of what

a politician promised to deliver, being fulfilled is common place where you reside.

In many countries such promises are accepted/considered to be pre-election waffle.

btw the complication with the village of Stilton not being allowed to call their cheese 'Stilton' is that the cheese doesn't actually originate from the village of Stilton.

The cheese produced in Stilton is different.

Hardly the EU's fault.

I think Tom Peck in the Independent summed up the "celebration" in Parliament Square quite well when he described it as "this was a knuckle-dragging carnival of stupidity".

A man after my own heart.

The ugly demographic of crass stupidity, pioneered by the Trump rednecks in Seppo Land, is now firmly in control and for the next five years w are all to be smothered in vacuous blandishments, preposterous exhortations and ridiculous prognostications from BoJo the Clown and his Brexit dominated Orc government of the untalented, the stupid and the merely dimwitted or deluded.

Joy of Joys!

£ is on the up as the markets crash and I await the exodus of industry as Brexit Britain reaps the bitter harvest of saying goodbye to frictionless trade.

This promises to be my year. Strong currency and schadenfreude watching the lower classes get assraped in their Northern sink estates.

ridiculous prognostications

..... and talking of ridiculous prognostications, look who's here.



well, come on then ... whats the latest from the end of the pier at margate?

a strong pound??? surely not.

happy brexit day s.a.

Well, Tax, as you are aware, it all depends.

I foretold that the currency would devalue on a Brexit vote and it has done, by 20%.

I said Brexit posed a threat to the GFA and if it was pursued in NI then it would result in conflict. It did and in the end BoJo capitulated and sold the DUP down the Lagan and NI remains in the EU.

I said that Brexit would destroy the political landscape and it has with the rise of the new Fascist Tory Nationalist Orc party gaining control.

I said that if frictionless trade is forsaken for Orc dogma reasons and Britain reverts to WTO status then the £ and manufacturing will be decimated. That will unfold one way or t'other by around October 2020.

I said Brxit would end the union. We are now in that process with the SNP inexorably moving towards Ref2 and independence. NI political parties and their southern counterparts are now discussing the process of unification as a serious issue for the first time since 1921.

I said Brxit would mean that Brits in Britain would after the end of transition in 31 12 20 be no different to any other third country national and be limited to stays in the EU of no more than 90 days in a 6 month period in reciprocation to the Brexit policy of keeping out foreigners. And that's now come true.

I said Brexit would contract GDP and that has come true and promises to extend for the next decade.

Rather think I have been spot on, Tax, but I imagine your incipient dementia is taking its toll.

but I imagine your incipient dementia is taking its toll.

no signs yet of any loss of cognitive function, but then i spend 8 months a year in a civilised country, where fresh air, clean food and stimulating discourse is the norm as opposed to languishing like a fish out of water in this repository of the retarded where proximity to pesticides, pollution and pillocks is the norm.

as for brexit, we are nowhere near the finishing post, we are not even into extra time. so rather than claiming a premature victory prediction wise, it might be better to look at them again in 2 or 3 years time.

wouldnt you agree?
