I don't even get the argument and what it has to do with Brexit.

It proves we're better than all of them foreign types. And we all know that's the real reason for Brexit.

I bet Tim Martin wishes he could move to Singapore :lol: :lol: :lol:


I would laugh, but his staff are going to be absolutely strawberry floated.

Mogg is saying Parliament should be closed to prevent Brexit being stopped.

Where's the claim about Ireland coming from?

Well, only slightly worse off I guess. He might pay them in pork scratchings.

Isn't a lot of the pork scratching raw materials imported as the pig skins from UK pigs doesn't make particularly good scratchings. I'm sure I saw on a Channel 4 or BBC show.

I think the Tweet has been deleted, but it said:

Bootle: "There are only four members in the EU which have never undergone invasion or dictatorship. Ireland, Sweden, Malta and the UK. This explains why our culture is so different from theirs. The (other countries) are quite happy to give up their sovereignty. We are different."



Bootle is the Brexit economist speaking at Rees-Mogg’s little get together.

I think we might be at the point of no return for damage done. Even if the UK were to somehow remain in the EU after all this (something I'm starting to give up hope on), we're a lesser country that in 2016.

strawberry floated it.

No chance are we staying at this point. I'm honestly beginning to wonder whether May's deal is the best we could realistically hope for at this point. Which is extremely depressing.

May’s deal is a long way from the best deal and isn’t supported by Parliament.

Most likely outcome is No Deal.

I didn't say it was the best deal, I said it was the best we could realistically hope for. May's deal is significantly better than no deal. I don't see what other option we're going to have on the table at this point.

Although you are right that it seems highly unlikely she'll make the concessions required to get it through parliament. The only realistic passage could come from MPs getting spooked at time running out.

It’s nowhere near the best deal available. That would be Remaining.

Or May could drop her xenophobia and would then get a better deal with freedom of movement.

May's deal is like the worst of all worlds. No chance of negotiating trade deals, worse than EU membership in terms of trade with them, and the likely breakup of the UK. It feels like she is trying to position a second referendum, but wants parliament to agree to it so she doesn't take flak from her side.

I think it will end up with a referendum on her deal or remain.

Realistic. We're not remaining in the EU.

Remaining is still realistic.

I don’t think it’ll happen, but it’s still realistic.
