No, that'll do Errkal. :lol:

I'm getting so triggered by the comments under this story! :x :fp:

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-41961412

-If there is no deal, then we just leave with no deal.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.

-The UK sized hole in the EU accounts is going to be hard to fill.
I cant see the EU lasting more than 10-15years max.

-No surprise here. The EU are trying to blackmail the UK and the UK is standing fast. The stonewalling by the EU is the main reason there would not be a deal. They do not care what is good for their businesses or people, only what is good for the EU commission and the political elite.

-Ireland should vote to leave with us

What I don't understand is that 90% of the comments are pro brexit, why on earth is that?

Brexit voters don't work because pesky foreigns took their jobs so they just sit around on the Internet all day posting shite.

It's probably the first time in their entire lives that they feel the 'elite' are listening to them.

I think I might actually start applying for jobs outside the country.

Denmark are looking for people.

Yes, but this country seems to be running towards a situation where we may have problems bring in food, flights might be grounded. The economy will totally go to gooseberry fool. While I don't think these are the most likely outcome, they seem to be becoming more likely.

If you genuinely think that'll happen I think you need a rest from Brexit news.


If you genuinely this that'll not happen I think you need to pay more attention to the world around you.

I don't think it will happen but it's certainly a possibility. Also people basically said the same thing about Brexit and Trump.

Edit: that's also the worst case scenario. There are a large number of not as bad scenarios that could happen.

Crashing out with no deal will be an economic crisis. Will there be an actual for-real famine? No. Will prices go up, and will stock get patchy, and will even more people top up their fridges via food banks? Yes. We know this because those things happen every economic crisis, and every indication is that this would be a bad one.

There’s going to be a final vote in Parliament

But :slol:

It’ll be a vote of leaving either with the deal that’s struck, or no deal at all

That’s a blinder played there by David Davis :x

Isn't that reliant on a deal actually being struck in the first place.

The vote might as well be no deal or no deal.

Yeah it’s just going to get to the vote and Davis will just smugly say “LOL WE DIDN'T AGREE ANY DEAL” and there’ll be nothing for MPs to vote on.

This can’t be right. We must have the chance to just pull out of Brexit altogether if the deal is no good. Davis is a banana split saying this. I hope he dies tomorrow.

The government are hilarious. I wish this wasn't my country so that I could just look on in disbelief rather than anger.

At the very least I would expect that parliament be given the option to vote for us to delay Brexit with the EUs permission obviously rather than the options being no Deal or crap deal. A vote for further negotiation should be an option. I'm confident than the EU would allow an extension to the leaving date.
