Cardinal can you give a synopsis please

"No tariffs on trade with the rest of the world, no non-tariff barriers with any country, border cost with EU at zero, not reflecting the consulting paper they’ve based results on properly, and achieving their positive results simply because they assume leaving the EU has no trade costs and only potential benefits.

The assumptions used for the Economists for Free Trade paper are absurd, writes Chris Giles in FT today.

Put rubbish in to a model, and rubbish will spew out."

Ha ha, couldn't make this up: the basket cases have come up with a "three baskets approach" to keeping the best bits of the cake.

Put rubbish in to a model, and rubbish will spew out."

The technical term is GIBO: Garbage-In-Brexit-Out.

Ha ha, couldn't make this up: the basket cases have come up with a "three baskets approach" to keeping the best bits of the cake.

But we didn't really think you meant it when you said "no cherry picking" ...

Bit quiet here today ?

Which is exactly what the EU have already said they will not accept!

The will reappear when it gets dark to remind us that 1 million is a big number.
And try to ignore the rest of what is actually happening.

Which is exactly what the EU have already said they will not accept!

Ah, but they didn't really mean that. They were just saying that before they realised it's Britain ... you know ... rule Britann- ah, better keep that one to ourselves. How about it's Britain, you know 2 world wars and one wol- hmm, need to have another go.

It's Britain land of the free, home of the brave ... not that's not it ...

It really is like some parallel universe now.

TM and her cronies decide, halfway through the A50 process, to discuss a plan that, even if they could agree internally, has already been dismissed as not possible by the EU.

What planet are they on?

The arrogance, or just complete lack of awareness, is astounding?

Thanks cardinal (sorry had to disappear to do kids stuff)
I was having a debate earlier about whether Trump or Brexit was worse. Trump is at least transparently bonkers

^^ And reversible in 3 years

It does indeed mother

I'm sure it will because 'they have such busy lives' but surely even they must be starting to ask questions, if only to themselves, right now.

Is it possible to ask questions when you head is buried up your own arse in the sand?

Trump will get hamstrung this fall in the mid terms .....
and the Democrats are slowly getting their backsides in gear for the next presidential election

My dad gas given up his GOP membership - after 60 years - because of Trump. My dad knows people in Trump's family and has done business with him. Trump is a nasty piece of work but the Penn district 8 ruling weakens his chances of staying in control.

Brexit is for ever though.

mother
Leaving the party has caused him real pain. Parts of my family have been GOP party members for a very, very long time. But they have no policies and allowed a moron to represent them.

Thinking about it, I'm not sure that TM even realises that she's lying. I think she just states what she wants the truth to be, and thinks that that makes it so. It's a weird kind of self delusion.

Nice article about Global Newcastle on the BBC today.

mother
before you feel too reassured - Dad voted Libertarian instead

cardinal
I suspect you are right. She would pass a polygraph, because she has convinced herself.
