Going well so far


Yeah I think the exit talks will take all of the two years, that's if they are even completed in the two years. Especially if they want us to pay an exit fee.


Talks might be done within two years, but I'm fairly sure the civil service will need extra time to get everything in order before we officially leave. I'd expect to hear media reports of departments being in absolute turmoil. I don't think people believe or fathom what a monumental task this will be for the government.

I must say, at this point, the realisation has set in that we are on this course, and I'm just wishing that everything goes better than I expect it to. I don't particularly find myself as being vindictive or willing this to fail, because it will affect us all. Uncertain times :?

This great repeal bill gooseberry fool sounds like a real way to bypass democracy!

If it works Brexit ministers will have the right to change EU Laws as they transfer to UK Law without parliament!

I have jokingly said May will try and pull some gooseberry fool to make emergency measures or something to take absolute power and be a dictator, but this is more and more edging that way! This bitch is evil!

Yep.
They've said they're going to make lots of "corrections" to EU Law as they "transfer them" to Britain.

They'll be SI's so can be challenged in courts I believe - but watch those Judges quickly become "ENEMIES OF THE PEOPLE" when the look at HOW Brexit is occuring.

It's not bullshit. In order to make ourselves INDEPENDENT, FREE and DEMOCRATIC, we are about to allow the Tory party full control over a vast swathe of rules, laws and regulations and they will not even have to ask Parliament for permission.

FREEDOM!!

You would think it would be shot down in the papers and in Parliament but with Cuntwad Corbyn on watch it will probably get the old twats seal of approval.

Corbyn will just wait until the Tories have done everything they wanted and it is all far too late and then he will say "well I think we should all have final approval" and he'll think he has done his job properly.

I wouldn't read too much into what is said publicly. There will be this hardline approach from both sides, which will then loosen in negotiations and within time. Neither side will want to look like they've lost. You always go into negotiations or bartering asking for the moon on a stick. Not in a rude manner, but it's the equivalent of asking for 90% off your Sky bill and walking away with 65%.

Brexiteers are going to be angry about the leaving bill (it won't be 50, but it will be substantial) and concessions on other areas such as immigration.

If all goes wrong, we've already heard some of the things we'll end up with (tax haven, secrecy on security), and you could also add the military to that. Worst case scenario I suppose would be the UK and USA sitting back as Putin invades other parts of Europe, which would of course be outrageous. The U.K. does have options, but none of them would be particularly right. You get into this war of sabotaging each other. But we're a long way off from that yet.

That would only happen if we are leaving NATO as well.

Which with Trump in charge could well happen.

Could we get a bill from the EU for leaving, and a "NATO Bill" from Trump?

No, as we meet the spending guidelines. The only countries that spend 2% (or more) of GDP on defence are the USA, UK, Poland, Greece and Estonia. The others might get a bill. ;)

That's never going to happen now. Chocolate companies are going to use every excuse they can now to rip off customers.

As a father I feel you have a disgusting attitude towards your child's needs. Children need sugar to help their bones grow, little Amelia knows this and you are depriving her. You should hang your head in shame.
