BREXIT
   
Quote: As someone who led major projects during 5 years of preparation for the year 2000



I couldn't interest you in coming out of retirement to lead another major one for the year 2019 could I?.


You've only got about 4 months this time though :lol .


'Your Country Needs You!' as someone once famously said. Wink

YamFazFan, there are only a couple of weeks left in order to get this deal in place.  Any deal has to go through due process etc.  So we are literally running out of time for the end of march.


And you need to remember this is a transitional deal, which enables a smooth transition from EU members to becoming non-members.




What lies ahead is years of negotiations and legal wrangling.  We are as much as any other country the architects of the EU.  Everything we do is integrated with the EU.  And it has always been a one way project. 




The expectation is to have a final agreement in place by 2022.  I suspect that is wildly optimistic.




And you know something, I still don’t what it is that BREXITEERS are unhappy about.  What are these dreadful laws that have been ‘forced’ upon us?

Not sure how many were at Nigel's 'Leave Means Leave' do in, where was it, oh yes Harrogate. Perhaps you could remind us  :lol




The venue holds 2000 and it was approximately 2 thirds full apparently.


It was part of a tour of different venues and it was ticketed. I'd like to see how many remoaners had turned up to the London march if they'd had to pay to get in :lol .


Besides which you're always going to attract more remoaners to these things. They've more of a gripe and they desperately want to reverse the democratic decision.
It's done that quote inserting thing again :rolleyes

So 666 (that's ominous isn't it) didn't turn up. Or they were probably out busy setting fire to mosques or something....


PS you just need to get your brackets in the right place
..... and anyway, why would somebody want to pay to hear Farage? Is he that hard up? Hasn't he got his MEP salary to look forward to... (oops forgot). Hasn't he got his party leader's salary to enjoy.... (oops forgot again)  :lol

Yeah I usually get the brackets right. Mess it up sometimes when there's a pic removed in the quote or something :rolleyes .


The other bit of that reply is just plain daft. I can't respond to nonsense like that.



I don't know whether to take that as an insult or a compliment  
OK so let's seriously analyse the current situation then.
Doesn't look like the Moggies can get the 48 letters together, so Theresa stays.
She's got to get her draft deal through the EU, then Parliament
The EU may be difficult, and Parliament even more so. The Moggies, DUP and the opposition are likely to vote against or abstain.
Apart from the Moggies they've all made clear they will not allow a 'No Deal' result.
So other options will be provided - postponement, amendments to the deal, new referendum etc. We don't know.


The deal is of course 'business as usual' for the next 2 years (or more).  Then they sort out the future arrangements which it is clear will involve some sort of permanent Customs Union with the EU. That will also come with conditions.  May is of course a Remainer after all.


So, if 'No Deal' is off the cards, and the only  choices are Draft Deal followed by Permanent Deal with more conditions, or Remain in the EU as it, what do you vote?

I'm not into insulting people and it's definitely not a compliment so maybe there's a third option :rolleyes
mtread, did you predict the result of the EU referendum correctly? A simple yes or no will do.

I think it's called 'ignore the bait'. It's been flying in the opposite direction for some time. [/size]

As I said, a simple one-word answer would have sufficed  Wink


Why do you think you got it wrong?
Oops that was embarrassing :o . I missed the NOT out of  ' I'm not into insulting people'. Just modified the post. Changes the meaning somewhat lol.

Whereas you are not answering my question at all  Smile
I got it wrong for similar reasons Farage got it wrong. He thought Remain had won too. In fact he demanded another Referendum.

I guessed as much  :lol
Next thing you'll know, you be putting your X in the wrong box  :b

I didn't attempt to make a prediction.

See, you do have something in common with Farage  :pokefun :lol


What were the reasons Farage got it wrong?


Btw, I don't much care for him either.

It's posting on a smart phone mtread. Everything's tiny, the cursor jumps all over the place then freezes, you can't see where peoples quote brackets are, you need finger tips no bigger than match heads :'(


Or maybe it's just my phone :o


Only posting on laptop from now on. Everything works properly on that 8)
