The whole thing is about pragmatism. Nothing is perfect, and the EU certainly isn't. But to keep the good bits you need to accept the bad bits. Then change it from within.

To be fair to May (and I find that very difficult) she was up shit street whatever option /proposal /result she came up with.

I must say I agree with all 3 of you. Yes, irrespective of the EU, big business rules. They make or influence all the decisions. Pay their taxes wherever they like. We are merely components, either as producers or consumers.
I also agree that whatever is being proposed for transition, will also become the long-term. BINO - Brexit In Name Only. Both In but Out with a few tweaks and concessions, to make it look good.
I also have no idea what will happen next. May needs to get her proposals through several hurdles - Cabinet, Party, Parliament, the EU itself. Plenty to go wrong. Parliament is going to be the most difficult.
If she doesn't get it all the way through, anybodies guess. Anyway I've stocked up on tins.

Saw '12 Angry Men' in Edinburgh with Arthur Smith as Sid James. Also saw BBC recordings of 'The Lost Hancocks' in London. All classics. My other favourite lines Radio Ham - 'I've got friends all over the world. None in this country, but all over the world' And of course the immortal 'A pint, that's very nearly an armful. I'm not walking around with an empty arm for anyone' The Lad Himself

OK, in return I agree Corbyn is a communist spy and eats babies

Have you ever watched '12 Angry Men'? We just need to get Hedgetrimmer and Ogri48 turned, and we're there

I still don't care. At the end of the day, whether he sings it or not, what dances Theresa can or cannot do, is unimportant. It's just froth, only worthy of front page news for the tabloids. In other news May has pulled off a fantastic result. She's turned the country from a 2 way split - Leavers vs Remainers....... Into a 3 way split - Hard Brexit vs Soft Brexit vs No Brexit Unbelievable!

So...... if we agree terms with the EU that we stay in the Customs Union and most of the Single Market without a backstop (ie without an end date)........... then we might as well........... stay in the EU At least I think that's what Arron Banks said.

I still don't care..... Theresa doesn't know the right moves to 'Dancing Queen', but I don't care about that either

Personally, I couldn't care less. Anyway, what's that got to do with Brexit?

I thought this thread was meant to be about goats. Have I been missing the point?

Well as a very large proportion of the population don't believe in God, that's going to be difficult. Do you think the Germans literary meant 'Deutschland uber alles' when they sang it? O hang on a minute....

Simply because it's the National Anthem. The words are immaterial.

Free movement across europe? Weve always had it before we joined the EU. I took several continental holidays in the late 60s, just had to show a passport, thats all.
You had no right to live, work or retire there. That’s what we have now. Neither did you have free health care, included roaming charges, bike insurance cover etc etc

Why the need for common laws to trade? We traded with Europe long before we joined the EU Yes it was called EFTA, based around a common Customs Area. It still exists and Theresa May has ruled us out of it. So yes we can trade with Europe, and pay duties, lose trade, close factories, have Customs controls, queue up with the lorries on the M20, create an Irish border etc etc etc

1. To be able to make our own laws without having undesirable/unsuitable ones thrust upon us.2. To be able to control immigration in a way that suits us.3. To be able to make our own trade deals around the world
I'll get none of things, because I didn't vote for this government. People forget that the EU is also a democracy, just a larger one. In fact my views and needs are better represented by the EU than the current UK government.
What do Remainers want
1: Be part of a trading block that has the size and power to match the rest of the world
2. Freedom of movement and opportunity for UK nationals throughout Europe
3. Continued peace in Europe
and so much more.....

So? He's also the only one in the group who hasn't sold arms to the Saudis.

The whole idea was daft in the first place. Done to silence the Tory right and UKIP once and for all. Except it massively backfired. All about internal Tory party infighting.
And here we are. A split nation with nobody happy....

From next April it's only the centre of London - the existing Congestion Charge area - City and West End.

I think that would lead to PM resignation, vote of no confidence, General Election, and we're back to square one.
