Brexit - the next steps

[jeremyp]

It looks likely, not that there was ever much doubt, that Holyrood will refuse consent for all or part of the EU withdrawal bill: Westminster may choose to forge ahead anyway but this adds yet another complication to the ever-escalating insanity of Brexit.

Not completely convinced that was the link you intended.

Well spotted: I was wondering how long it would be before someone spotted the deliberate mistake 

I've amended the post.

Dispute about returned powers.
First time ive heard talk of the UK single market....sounds like an English Gammon invention.
''We want out of the UK single market''

So all the parties other than the Tories vote the same way but it's all the SNP according to the Tories... That's called lying.

Yep.
I also note certain MSM outlets are using this as an "SNP Bad" story, when it is actually a case of parties getting together to defend Scotland's parliament....well, the parties that matter, anyway.....

Do any Brexit voters here actually give a shit about this?

Of course not. We've all got to make sacrifices to satisfy their petty nationalism. We voted for it remember.

Of course, Michael

I particularly like this bit:

"The whole point about the backstop [announced last week] is that it’s intended not to be implemented, but it’s there just in case."

Isn't that what was thought about Article 50?

Look where that got us.

Remoaners can always rely on the BBC for support, in the BBC's usual way, a little bit here another little bit there.

Everybody complains that the BBC is biased against them, which suggests to me that, broadly speaking, it is unbiased.

What has that to do with Johnson making a statement about a private plane?

Nonsense. The BBC did little to challenge the lies of Farage and his ilk, instead taking refuge in the thought that impartiality means treating every strange thought as if it has equal weight.

If you don't see the connection, I'm not going to explain it to you; perhaps the BBC should start publishing a thesis about how to say good morning, so that it's understood by all when they make a statement like that.

Typical Brexshiteer whining. Why don't you get on with making the thing a success (and good luck with that) instead of coming on here tilting at windmills.

If I even knew what you thought adding "obvious" achieved I'd bother responding. As I can't. Jog on.

thank you for highlighting that you can't make the connection.

Max Fac to cost £20 billion pounds a year.

[jeremyp]

The cost is beginning to mount up

Apologies

Earlier on I referred to max fac the £20 billion fiasco customs device from Johnson and Rees Mogg.

I was of course referring to Max Fuc...The £20 billion fiasco customs device from Johnson and Rees Mogg.

I know my food bills have rocketed. Trying to buy fresh fruit especially is often a struggle. But farmers don’t have the labour so I guess that puts up the prices of the stuff that isn’t left to rot. I’ve heard some farmers list a third of their crops last year due to labour shortages.

[Walt Zingmatilder]

It'll be fine. Bwexit will make Fenwick Grand again.
