Brexit Thread 3 - Project Reality

[Christopher]

The latest inspiration for my "Oh god what the strawberry float are me and my French wife going to do now?" series of panic attacks:

My wife applied last week, despite living here for 24 years we’re worried that she wasn’t working for two years in the last five due to raising two British kids

Where's she from? I'd be willing to swap. Sorry you're having so much trouble.

Thanks. She’s from Sweden, we’re probably going to relocate there, which is annoying as I’ve just got a job where I have a real career progression after years of start ups and small companies.

That’ll go well.

Because we have an abundance of officers over here to spare for that....

Northern Ireland will kick off again. But I think the big issue will be the fishing. I can see Boris deploying war ships and the great British public backing the sinking of a Spanish fishing boat as they were going to steal our cod.

Spoke to a leave voting client on Friday. When I asked her how bad she thinks it might get her response began with "have you seen the film Mad Max?" She then spoke about how spring onions are now not springy because they are probably European now.

“Why do you hate the EU?”

“They stopped spring onions being springy!”

Its actually also strategically dumb. Boris should just say that the UK will take no part in enforcing the border. It makes zero sense to do so, and would put the onus on the EU and ROI to man the border if they so wish.

But Boris, I fear, will use it as a show of strength to Tory hardliners. A new set of "troubles" would probably, sadly, boost the tories in England.

The problem there is we will be sued by other countries as not enforcing the border will break WTO rules.

And from a Leave perspective it’s nuts to campaign to “control our borders” and then ignore our only land border.

I feel like we are in safe hands, Boris clearly knows what he’s doing.

[Christopher]

He really thinks he’s Churchill.

He’s no Winston. He’s not even the dog.

Uh, we talking about rocks now.

Could just go round it.....?

Lord Tim Martin?

The strawberry floating state of this country.

[Dual]

Christ sake

Beyond parody.

[That]

Bourgeois democracy is not, and has never been, a real democracy. Nothing could be a better demonstration of that than the idea of Lord Tim Martin.

Tell me this is a strawberry floating joke, please? For strawberry floating strawberry floats sake.

It's the Express so it is almost certainly utter bollocks......that Boris will probably read and then enact.

Hopefully this actually works and isn’t a load of bollocks that almost immediately collapses when they fall out over some trivial nonsense.
