I’m starting to feel that May wants a no deal Brexit like the ERG

Remember she hates the ECHR and leaving that isnt easy if still tied to the EU.

how can anyone seriously think this is about politics and democracy and not just a corporate take over of the UK?

I think the only way we can remain without gammongeddon (if that’s not been used before I’m copywriting it) is if her Maj steps in, the gammons would never go against her

“The Brextremists will get angry if we don’t do it” is the worst possible argument in favour of Brexit, for the simple reason that the Brextremists are going to be angry whatever happens.

Exactly! They will never ever be satisfied. They're not happy unless they're gobbing off about something, with a head like an angry tomato!

I hate to quote Dave, who should have known better than deliver us all into this nightmare, as he once described the Tory Brexiteers as 'people who won't take yes for an answer'

I wouldn't be too worried about the gammons rioting though. Half of them wouldn't as it would involve leaving the pub, and the other half would have to do it on their mobility scooters

The last few days I have seriously been contemplating whether a removal of May from office by men in grey suits, was in fact a possible or even a likely scenario.

I'm talking a knock on the door and a quiet chat. Or possibly more. In the current crisis, and it is a crisis, it doesn't seem implausible anymore.

Flying back from Geneva to Edinburgh. Landing 5 minutes before we leave the EU.

I can't see any possible problem.

Plus if we're counting those extreme enough to consider rioting, there's about twelve of them.

My son leaves for Belgium a day or so before we leave....and it'he's meant to come back the day after we leave from memory.

For a music festival or something.

I told him he might spend a bit longer over there than he might think!

Plus he is driving..... So he needs to potentially sort an insurance green card and get an international driving permit! Ffs!

Great question OP. On balance I’m probably “in” but might change my mind at the ballot box!

On that note, if we get a second referendum will we be allowed a second thread?

Third referendum. And, no.

Of course.... Even if we get a deal...isn't this the prelude to years and years of negotiation for actual trade deals with the EU and everyone else?

Wasn't the divorce bill meant to be the easy part? That's how brexiters billed it!

So Brexit is going to be front page for years to come......

That will be a wake up call for those that think getting this deal is it, done and finished.....

Joy.

Indeed if we conclude replacement trade deals for those have now by 2030 it'll be good going

So does anyone thing that May was clever enough to put the £65 fee up there so that they could look nice by cancelling it?

It will never end, sorry, look at Switzerland and that is the future.

and for clarity I don't mean a rich functional democracy! just endless negotiations and renegotiations.

We’ve no Spoons nearby either Mike.

They’ve done all over Manchester. They’ve even blitzed the People’s Republic of Chorlton! You can imagine the reception they got there? 😂

Not made it as far as Bramhall. If one comes through my letterbox I'll set fire to it and hurl it into then King's Tap in Cheadle Hulme.

Nothing here yet, though I'm aware of their work. I suspect it's a nationwide phased campaign. There's one page where they're actually promoting unicorns.

Out of interest, if I order something from Germany now, and it’s delivered after 29/3, will I have to pay VAT/import duty when it’s delivered?

In a hard brexit scenario yes.

quite what happens to the German VAT you will have paid I am not so sure.

Yep probably will be, given how confused/angry people get at paying the right amount of tax it's going to be a bit mental.

Well if you've ordered from Non-EU it shouldn't be any different. Certainly wouldn't be news to me.

However a bit of glee for those that voted out and then complain about now paying tax. Bound to be a few.

If there are suddenly 1000s of packages a day needing holding at the post office depots awaiting tax, the delays will be epic, it can already add on a week if you are ordering from non EU.

And caught the news this morning on the way out.
They need us more than we need them
In the interest of the eu to avoid no deal
Seek support from rampant brexiteers ove the moderates.

Nothing has changes, so will somebody seize the chance to make it 221 against on the next vote?

Well if you’ve ordered from Non-EU outside the EU, and not from anywhere the EU has a trade deal with, it shouldn’t be any different.

Presumably come the glorious day we will not have to pay VAT as it’s an eu tax? (In theory there should be no german vat as it will be an export outside the eu and zero rateable, who knows what the uk will charge)

Groundhog May has no solutions

IDS was just on R4, he has a solution, it involves lots of experts apparently.

No actual detail on how his mystery technical border solution to do away with the backstop, presumably he brings the same skills he used to bring us the wildly successful, underbudget & on- deadline, Universal Credit....
