Looks like the fanatics on the right are getting their way and a Hard Brexit is the way its going.
Time to start planning the future....

Reuters.
Britain appears to be heading for a 'hard Brexit' under which its relationship with the European Union is reduced to little more than trade agreements, Scotland's external affairs minister Fiona Hyslop said on Monday.

Scotland recently appointed its own representative, Michael Russell, to take part in talks with Brexit minister David Davis to establish a UK position under which talks with the EU might take place.

"They've met within the last 10 days. The process for those internal negotiations is currently being established," Hyslop told Reuters in Paris after meeting France's European Affairs Minister Harlem Desir to discuss Scotland's attempts to make Brexit as much like remaining in the EU as possible.

"I'm worried just now that the UK looks as if its heading to a hard Brexit. However those internal discussions with Scotland Wales and Northern Ireland have only just started, so we will try and shift that position," she said.

No, it's called totalitarianism.

Little more than trade agreements, so:

  • no more co-operation on science, particularly bio-sciences, one of the UK's main fields of expertise
  • much greater difficulty organising educational exchanges at Higher Education level
  • no more European Arrest Warrant, back to our villains legging it to the Costas and laughing at attempts to extradite them.


To name but a few.

Those still could be attained without an over powering political union.

Given how well we are doing already, when every remainer said we'd sink into a pit off fiery hell within 6 minutes of the vote, then I'm pretty sure we'll thrive on our own.

Too early to tell, let's hope not! Many of the predictions based on article 50 not being triggered yet.

No, within 6 minutes of actually, you know, LEAVING.

How well are we doing?
'...every remainer...' - really? They said that?
'6 minutes'? Hyperbole adds nothing whatsoever to the debate.

"You come to the uk with a job lined up , health care insurance and the expectation you can house your self "

Very small numbers of EU immigrants are on any kind of benefit, in fact they are under represented as a share of the population on benefits and in social housing.

But of course what you propose is fine, as long is its reciprocal to the Brits abroad, see all those pensiones in Spain? They'll all be back here.

I see the swivel eyed loons are out in force tonight. Is it a full moon?

Well after the vote and the days after the economy pretty much went into turmoil, all of the good news that we've had recently has seen us pretty much go back to where we were just before the crash, but since we've had massive stimulus from the BOE then to go back to where we were isn't that much of an achievement.

Oh and the effects of the fall in the pound which is still very low compared to its average over the last 2 years, we haven't seen the detrimental effect of this yet.

I have no issues with our leeches staying put why should some Brit with no job no were to live go someone were else and put pressure on another country



It always should have been freedom to work

In all countries you have Heath insurance , find your own place to live with out supplement from the said government and make sure you have a job on arrival if you can't afford to support yourself then you need to stay put


We have enough people here that can wash cars Ect and the low skilled workers depress wages and allow emolyers to go Dickens and pay people Oliver Twist wages

So what about the Brits on benefits abroad? Shall we have them back? You know there are more Brits on benefits in Germany and France than they have people on benefits here?


"find your own place to live with out supplement from the said government and make sure you have a job on arrival if you can't afford to support yourself then you need to stay put "

That is how it works here, if you can't support yourself you have to go home. No one arrives from the EU under of freedom of movement and is given a house and benefits. If you are jobless after under 3 months you have to leave.

Ahhh the ignorant ride again.

Ignorance is powerful, and manichaeism given carte blanche by a moronic referendum will win against reason. I am seeing a dangerous anti-intellectualism reminiscent of the 30s.
fishwife the vast majority of EU citizens in the UK are graduates, multilingual professional people who contribute to the economy. You are obviously ignorant of this fact.
