    Ah, the lovely times of 3-day-weeks, candlelit evenings, hyperinflation, root vegetables, hock, blue nun, sterilised milk, and coal fires...

    Thank goodness we left all that behind...

    It is a half deal or even barely that.
    It is something that had to be done before new year in order to save face for BoJo and save Britain from a transport chaos.
    Negotiations will continue for that which is not covered by this surrogate deal.

    Only time will tell. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. But the only thing that matters at this time is that the PM honoured his word that the UK will regain its borders. Starting off on the right foot helps.

    Well the country has concluded that he's done a shit job all round this year, and the Tory party knows he's going to be a liability.

    That BREXIT was an idiotic shit show is set to become painfully apparent to all but a dull minded rump.

    He'll be gone by this time next year, as one thing tories do know is when to stick the knife in. Expect a new PM in place for the 2021 Autumn party conference.

    And the Labour party didn't knife Corbyn? Never mind if Boris is here next year. Brexit is done and he served his purpose. Life goes on.

    As an investor in the EU , I'm happy to see the UK thrown off. We don't need that dual debtor boat anchor. Plus the UK was a backdoor for the Seppos to fuck with Europe's politics. Germany is still occupied. But those troops will leave when the US goes broke. Then the EU can be a real European state.

    Gotta love all these Seppos who think the EU is so unpopular. They think the EU is about globalism. It really isn't. These are next door neighbors. China and the USA. That's globalism.

    Which country would that be Cyrille? Is it the KSA or just the tiny part of it that you occupy. Or were you referring to your Black Country, working class roots? ...... or maybe it was the electorate that voted to leave back in 2016?
    Could it be the country that decided to elect a government, who campaigned to get brexit done, after 4 years of political expediency by others who claimed to know better?

    Perhaps it’s the country that you invented to allow you to declare yourself the winner, when proof of the opposite, is staring you in the face.

    Great internet win for you Cy, you simple clot.

    Please demonstrate where “The country has concluded anything”? Neither “The country” nor its occupants have concluded any such nonsense, and it is disingenuous of him to claim that it has. He hates being corrected and called out on his self declared win, so it is entirely appropriate for me to do just that.
    He knows he is wrong, which is why he sent pathetic red repo, instead of debating his inaccurate missive on here, the chicken shit weakling.

But it didn't leave as envisaged by them but remains very much part of it. In fact, the only radical difference is that there is no free movement and you now have to fill in a million new forms costing you £14 billions a year to trade in producte and goods that before Brexit cost you fuck all.

    As I have noted elsewhere, the Brexit Bozo bounce has meant the £ has soared to the dizzy heights of 40 baht, EUR1.11, US$1.36 and of course match the values of pre-Brexit in Oct 2015 when it bought 54 baht, EUR1.46 and $1.56...............not.

    You Brexit gorms really are such simpleton dullards, aren't you.

    Har, har.

    No such caveats in your original post. Smart move by UK, refusing to negotiate with dictatorial political terrorists.

    Personal grievance failures go in the daily moan thread btw.

    Is that all you have, really. Simpering old fool, nothing better to do than post how poor your quality of life is, while imagining an even worse one for others.
    Crack on hard case, misery loves company allegedly.

    By the way, your forecast was not spot on as you put it. You declared that the pound would reach parity with the USD.
    The exchange rate is nowhere near that now, and given the awful mess the EU finds itself in, the chances are, the pound will never reach parity with either of those currencies.

    Would you like Neverna to post your original, unadulterated comments again, as a reminder of your stupidity in committing it to print in the first place?

    Bye bye loser.

    He's more than a bit odd, and for years now he's come to this thread only for a slanging match.

    How someone banging pre-op ladyboys on Bali can come here and question other poster's credibility and level of interest in the UK is a mystery.

    And then there are his nineteenth century views on the UK's standing in the world...a century which if he lived in it he would be a pariah at best.

    Not to, mention, his punctuation.

    Just very, very odd.

    As if any more reason were needed for me to conclude BREXIT is a sack of ****.



    West Brom boss Sam Allardyce has revealed how new Brexit regulations have already harmed his plans for the January transfer window.

    The Baggies‘ boss has ended interest in three players because they cannot earn a work permit.


    Under the UK’s new relationship with the rest of Europe, points will be awarded for senior and youth international appearances, club appearances and the pedigree of the selling club.


    West Brom sit second bottom of the Premier League after Saturday’s 4-0 defeat to Arsenal. As such, the West Midlanders need new recruits in their bid to survive.


    But Allardyce is struggling in his search for January reinforcements amid the new red tape.


    The manager said: “I have found three players already who were capable of coming here and they’re not allowed. It’s a shame.


    “Due to the new regulations in terms of the permit they were unable to come to this country, whereas [previously] they would have done. I have to look at that and think ‘can he qualify?’


    “That has made life a bit more difficult. It’s not so much the pandemic, it’s the change of rules because of the Brexit deal.
    Allardyce reveals Brexit has already battered West Brom transfer plans
