Distant Doonhamer Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 I really fucking hate this country.Yep. A psychopathic PM being advised/controlled by a sociopathic Cummings and a cabinet and party full of self serving c***s. What could possibly go wrong? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renton Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Thing is, i might be less of a Scottish Nationalist if it wasnt for the fact that the UK is an unrelenting shit tip of a country that seems to excel only at lowering the bar of its own competence. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTJohnboy Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Astonishing how long it's taken the meeja to realise that the govt's latest proposals on the withdrawal agreement will actually put the Good Friday agreement at risk, rather than bolster it - as was being claimed yesterday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Around 50 Tory MPs would need to fully rebel to stop this legislation passing; that will not happen. I had often forecast that No Deal would not happen! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In their solipsism, they presumably haven’t bothered to look up, for example, the membership of the House ways and means committee that would control any trade deal Britain might make with the US. (To save them the bother, it’s chaired by Richard Neal, and includes his fellow Irish-American Democrats Brendan Boyle and Brian Higgins, all highly engaged with Northern Ireland.) Who'd have thought that by the end of 2020 the British Empire 2.0 would actually be begging for a chlorinated chicken deal and getting told to bolt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never hear about them anymore, maybe they're all quarantining somewhere nice. As far as I know, they don’t have to, as it was never a manifesto commitment. Quite the opposite of one, I’d have thought. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see that the UK will be allowed to fill any of the EU quota on Agri products that they don't use up. Literally (almost) crumbs off the table of the EU/Japan deal.

Granny Danger Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Article from the Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/sep/11/brexit-uk-negotiators-believe-brinkmanship-reboot-trade-talks Here’s the first paragraph, the bit I’ve boldened is genuinely staggering. Britain’s Brexit negotiators believe Downing Street’s plan to break international law, pushing the trade and security negotiations to the brink, may have helped reboot the talks by offering Brussels a reality check about the looming danger of a no-deal outcome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O'Kelly Isley III Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 (edited) A masterclass just there from Irish Foreign Minister Simon Coveney on the Andrew Marr Show. Telling it like it is whilst repeatedly facing down a host intent on constant interruption. This was after a leader in The Sunday Telegraph was presented as some sort of balanced commentary.

Wee Bully Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Marr is actually pretty entertaining this morning. The Justice Minister Robert Buckland is having a mare too. This really is the end of days 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
