Brexit Thread 2

[<]:^D]

I wonder what the results of a boarder poll would be if one were held today.

The result would be exactly the same, all they want are hot meals, a hot shower and a comfortable bed for a reasonable price.

[DML]

Are we going to see a world where we stay in an extended transition period for years and years meaning that the only difference to pre Brexit will be that we don’t get a rebate?

Don't forget our slowly tanking economy.

The peoples vote campaign needs to ditch Blair. He is one of the biggest components that will turn people away from it. He is hated by Tories just as much as he is hated by the left of Labour. I support the people's vote concept but I'll have nothing to do with it if Blair continues campaigning.

If Blair backs anything, generally people are going to turn against it. He needs to either go away quietly or present himself to The Hague and stand trial for the murderous war criminal that he is.

Blair: CRD, don't jump off that cliff, you've still got a long and happy life to lead.
CRD: strawberry float you, Blair. I'll show you. *jumps*

Yes that really is how stupid the first quote sounds.

It’s similar to the people (not CRD) who say they voted Brexit because “I’m sick of the liberals who kept calling us racist!”.

Yeah great move, base your vote and the entire country’s future on a couple of people who were mean to you online.

[Herdanos]

Why can't they just try not to be racist like in the old days?

They were silenced and weren’t allowed to talk about immigration during the 20 years where they talked about nothing but immigration.

Is anybody here going on the peoples' vote march tomorrow?

[Moggy]

Is anybody here going on the peoples' vote march tomorrow?

I’d love to, but it just isn’t possible for me to get to London tomorrow. Hopefully they have a massive turnout though!

[Lex-Man]

I'm tempted to go although I'm feeling pretty awful at the moment.

I remember a few of us here pointing this out at the time, the border problem was massively overlooked in Britain.

Every time it seemed to come up on TV a Brexiteer would just say "it's not a problem" and then it would be dropped.

A warning from Japanese car companies:

The automobile industry of Japan would like to express its respect and appreciation for the great efforts being made by the governments of the United Kingdom and the European Union with the aim of reaching an agreement on the withdrawal of the UK from the EU. Despite those efforts, an agreement has not been reached by the original deadline of October 2018. Apprehension is therefore growing that a “withdrawal without agreement” may become a reality.

JAMA member companies currently operate 14 production plants and 17 research-and-development and design centers across the EU, including in the UK. In 2017, those plants produced 1.5 million vehicles and 170,000 people were employed, directly or indirectly, in JAMA member companies’ EU-based operations and related activities. Japanese automakers’ contributions to the economy and employment in the UK and the EU position us as stakeholders in the automobile industry in both the UK and Europe. For those contributions to continue, it is necessary that an unimpaired trade environment between the United Kingdom and the European Union be maintained and that the automobile industry’s activities remain predicated on shared standards, including those regulating vehicle certification.

If no withdrawal agreement is reached and the transition period through December 2020 is consequently not implemented, corporate activities and consumers will be adversely affected by the impacts of suspended production activities resulting from failed just-in-time logistics operations, declines in revenue, and revised vehicle sales prices caused by spiralling logistics and production costs. We hope that both the UK and EU governments will continue to make maximum efforts to reach a satisfactory settlement and that a “withdrawal without agreement” is avoided at all costs. We also ask that flexible responses be implemented to ensure a smooth transition for all relevant systems following the UK’s withdrawal, enabling minimal impacts on business activities.

As corporate residents of the United Kingdom and the European Union, JAMA member companies will make every effort to continue to contribute to economic growth through their local operations.

That'll go down well in Gammonland

Dreadful sanctimonious bullshit article by some Kipper.

[Tineash]

I guess he'll be lobbying the EU parliament for them. Tempting to read into this where Facebook thinks they face regulatory dangers; UK is irrelevant, US is safe (for all the republican bluster, Facebook spends plenty on them).

I don’t think she is a kipper, but it is a terrible article that was brought to you by the same woman who wrote “Frida Kahlo was a communist and proud. What would she think of the V&A gift shop? “

I don't want a people's vote either. I'd prefer they stop giving important decisions to people that don't understand them.
