Alan Stubbs Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Corbyn's position on Independence doesn't really bother me, I wouldn't expect him to support it. If I was in England, I'd happily vote for him. Its the Scottish Unionists and their determination to conflate everything with Independence that make it impossible for me to vote for any of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 2 hours ago, Carl Cort's Hamstring said: Davis tweeted that last May before the referendum. One of the leaders of the leave campaign, and our brexit secretary, didn't know that the EU negotiates trade deals as one entity. Germany aren't free to negotiate a deal with us, or anyone else. Or more likely he did know and was deliberately misleading people. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muchos Pleasing I seem to remember being told this couldn't happen. Quote Firstly, the justices said that while Scottish Parliament and Welsh and Northern Ireland Assemblies had a role in administering EU rules and law (for example, in relation to agriculture) they have no constitutional role in making or breaking the international treaties that lie behind those responsibilities. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-38733090 ********************* There seems to be a growing realization that whatever Brexit deal we eventually achieve is likely to be worse for the UK than what we currently have, yet the general feeling is that we've made our bed and now we've got to lie in it. Not for the first time in my life I'm baffled. Edited June 22, 2017 by btb 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WILLIEA Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 News today been full of farmers bemoaning the impact that brexit will have on their businesses. Including 2 from England who voted leave and now say they are facing ruin because of lack of staff. My first inclination was to mock but perhaps if more see the damage they have inflicted we can reverse this idiocy? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTG_03 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Michael Gove at the royal highland show talking about 'tariff free access to the EU' on the news. I just cannot see this happening at all unless freedom of movement continues which is what this is all about really. It seemed he was getting a pretty easy ride from the fairmers who think he'll see them alright. Hopefully they're not wrong but I fear they're going to be very disappointed with the result. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the farmers will have to get their hands dirty again.... Maybe the foreign workers will still come even after Brexit. Who knows ?..no-one. I propose we exercise caution, practice patience and support our nation's attempts to formalise our post EU position. I'm sure our nation's success at these negotiations is far more important than you having the Pyrrhic victory all you Remoaners seem to crave for some egotistically driven reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooky Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 This should have been said months ago, but at least there's now confirmation - on condition of it being reciprocal to U.K. citizens in the EU. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
