    Jeez The re-moaners are sounding more and more like the Trump hater's, by the day.

    Though there protests are futile.

    a great start

    The EU will back Spain over its territorial claims to Gibraltar in the next phase of Brexit negotiations by giving Madrid the power to exclude the British overseas territory from any trade deal struck with Brussels. The Spanish government has insisted that the Rock be included in the EU’s opening negotiating position, the Observer has learned.


    Boris Johnson intends to impose full customs checks on all goods coming into the UK from the EU in a break with previous government policy, according to reports. The government’s policy had been to waive customs checks and tariffs on 87% of goods coming into the country and only impose limited checks on goods, reports Lisa O’Carroll.

    Boris's Plan I reckon, we get all the bludger's off the Benefits, and who needs outside help.

    More people in work less benefits being paid.

    More money coming in the economy, jobs a good one.

    We've got to price them out of their holes first, also make it difficult for them to stay retired abroad.

    When I buy music I'm old school, I like something tangible.

    However, I've just heard that the 'European anthem' is top of the download charts. (Ooh. .booyakasha!!)

    You know, that made up ditty that's a mere 20 years or so old, that accompanies UEFA's seeded and rigged football tournament. It's about as authentic as that dull blue flag with it's yellow stars.

    It's UEFA's anthem, not the European union's.

    That is UEFA, the organisation that deems a thirty second lapse back onto a pitch or a dog on a playing area, as more finable than the choreographed racism they continually turn a blind eye to.

    You sore losers.

    You Cockwomble knobjockies.

    You lost.

    Stop whinging and move on.

    It appears French president Emmanuel Macron finally understands what Theresa May said.


    Theresa May:
    "The U.K. may be leaving the EU but we are not leaving Europe." (November 2017)
    "We are leaving the European Union but we are not leaving Europe." (September 2018)


    Emmanuel Macron tells Britons:
    "You are leaving the European Union but you are not leaving Europe." (1 February 2020)

    The Goebbels Cummings/BoJo Clown doctrine is unfolding and it seems the strategy is indeed to return to pre-1973 days albeit without the capacity or skills to manufacture an export policy of any worth beyond selling re-badged imported Chinese shite and fripperies to markets that already exist and simply cannot be expanded given limited appeal and even less demand.

    But first things first, the philosophy of the Orcs is a simple one it seems, the EU ( well, let's call it the way it is, an economic association of 27 member states ) is to be demonised and further efforts concentrating xenophobia isolating the Little Englander from th contagion of the filthy continental foreigner are to be re-doubled. Raab "where and what is Dover" C Brexit has ordered his Foreign Office panjandrums to sit well apart from their former European colleagues at international symposia lest they give the impression they are still allies and old chums.

    And this buffoon is meant to be a statesman representing the new wunder-uber state of Britanniamania??


    This is truly wonderful, it's like a grotesque parody created by Pier Paulo Pasolini in which the Orcs dance around their Leader BoJo paying homage to him while eating cocktail turds of freshly deposited faeces passed by their lumpen adoring masses.

    The auspices are griim indeed for the international business community and the hundreds of thousands of SMEs now facing the nightmare of bureaucracy that will be the maelstrom of tariffs to be negotiated as BoJo dances to the tune of his Svengali, Goebbels Cummings, and imposes a WTO regime with its taxes and quotas.

    It is now a racing certainty that the EU and foreign manufacturers alike will be quitting the UK in this seachange of insanity but from what one can gather from Gove's old rhetoric and now the spiel being churned out by his successor, the banshee witch Villiers at the Ministry of Agriculture, the British farmer is going to lose his subsidies - who cares, eh, we can import all the US surpluses much cheaper when they go bust.

    Somehow, I don't quite think this is what the lower classes had in mind.

    Someone better tell them in the North, the West Midlands, Bristol and Broughton, now is not the best time to take out a new mortgage.

    Poor old Gibraltar, fucked over like the DUP, eh? Imagine that, BoJo lies, cheats and couldn't give a damn about anyone except himself.

    You misunderstood, quelle surprise, he was merely reminding BoJo that Britain is but an island floating off the northwest of the European continent and not some fictional state in never-never land halfway between the 19thC and the US. Theresa May voiced those European sentiments when it was Tory party policy to maintain alignment with the EU and the level playing field. That is now all gone, passed away in a waft of BoJo piffle-waffle fart as he ushers in a WTO regime. You really don't understand things very well, do you?

    I'm not sure why your insults are permitted but other rejoinders are not.

    I think you will find that the EU anthem was composed by Beethoven over 250 years ago, his Ninth Symphony, but it seems you have confused this work with a jingle created by Tony Britten in 1995(?) based on Zadok the Priest, a hymn to George II by Handel, for the UEFA cup signature tune.

    If you wish to glean a more trenchant view of your mistake may I refer you and others to the alternative thread in the DH.

    Thy seem to have blanked NI which is not strictly true at all. Economically it remains in the EU and for all practical purposes free movement in its literal sense will continue as the whole world and his wife currently present in the Republic can pootle over the border anytime they fancy, stay in a hotel, get drunk, have a meal and take a piss on the DUP's HQ building.

    Well I arrived in Brexit Britain last night and it is very British today. Cold, wet, miserable, all of the things that make it great to be British.

    ^ Possibly the best reason of all for Brexit...

    ...the British want to wallow in the misery of their own making., not the misery made by others.

    Just the opposite is going to happen though.

    They're going to endlessly whinge about a bloc created to protect its interests and increase its strength together protecting its interests and using its increased strength.

    Numpty is already warming up for it regarding Gibraltar.

    They'll be endlessly whining "You see! You see what they're like?!"

    A taste of things to come.
