And possibly more besides (for example, could the UK be active in some or all sectors of the single market and not be subject to at least some rulings by the ECJ?)
Which will surely not be to the liking of all Leavers, who insisted during the referendum campaign that, aside from immigration, it was precisely those sorts of things that they would be voting against. That's why the sudden about-face is a bit puzzling to me. Brexit from day one will not be the Brexit of five, ten years and more after. |

The day we officially leave is Brexit Day. Anything after that is post-Brexit, which is when this thread's title will actually make sense. |

I was under the impression that to Leavers it meant, amongst other things, saving the membership fee (which it might not, according to you), getting rid of EU bureaucracy (which it might not, if the UK is to continue trading in the single market) and not being subject to decisions made by courts outside the UK (which it might not, ditto preceding point). And that's just for starters. Remainers have always been a lot more adaptable about what Brexit might mean. |
re: Post EU Referendum
Evidently the government and brexit team are finding it puzzling, now that they've taken the time to learn about what it actually means.
And if Brexit means Brexit (as you suggest), then what's the problem? Why not pull the trigger and get on with it? I'm going to lean out the window and suggest maybe the brexit team has concluded that Brexit may not be Brexit. Aside from guaranteeing huge payoffs to the auto industry (which they flatly deny), the only other compelling guarantee can only be that the UK isn't going to leave the single market. And there's no chance of being in the single market without the other burdens. So, Brexit may not mean Brexit. |

re: Post EU Referendum
This one pisses me off a bit more than others, because the Spanish I know are all super people with big hearts.
Uproar in Spain over videos of ‘Brexit-related attacks’ in UK Man from Bournemouth found guilty of hitting 27-year-old from Valencia around the head with a wooden plank Two videos of Spaniards being violently assaulted in separate incidents in the UK have gone viral in Spain, fuelling speculation the attacks could be linked to Brexit. ... He told El País that Way “came at us from the other side, screaming 'you f***ing Spanish, speak English', and I faced up to him a bit. “Silvia told me to let it go. And then... well, you see it in the video: he pretends to leave, gets the stick... and takes good aim,” Mr Gil said. ... In the four years he spent in Britain, he said he worked in a kitchen and a factory, and as a sales assistant and a waiter, but he experienced no racism beyond observing a "feeling of superiority" in some British people. |

I imagine this pisses you off as well Ami. :cool:

re: Post EU Referendum
No it doesn't piss me off at all. It's a good sign. It likely means brexit does NOT mean brexit. Because, well, brexit represents only downside for everybody.
It's likely to piss you off though. |

re: Post EU Referendum
I see the Remoaners are still fantasising about the sky falling in some distant time in the future.
Having got their pre referendum forecast totally wrong, their referendum forecasts wrong, plus their immediate post referendum forecasts totally wrong as well right up to the present date, it might have been expected for them to pipe down a bit and stop embarrassing themselves any further, but no, on and on they go, like a broken record with not even the faintest clue how it will all pan out. I imagine a betting man would look at their track record and put his money on precisely the opposite result of the endless nonsensical garbage they still continue churning out. :cool: |
re: Post EU Referendum
Dick, you really need a break. Do you have a holiday scheduled or something? I think it might be good for you.

re: Post EU Referendum
Do you have anything *credible* to offer?

re: Post EU Referendum
The video is very credible. Are you saying these things are not credible?
