The Brexit thread.

By Brexiters, for Brexiters.

Remainers welcome, but gobshites & goadyfuckers are encouraged to take their business elsewhere.

Indeed. The concept of rolling over or copy-pasting is superficial. It is fantasy.

Not only can the other party disagree to apply similar terms to the UK as it does to the EU (eg the US wrt Open Skies) but there are significant differences between the EU and the UK that need modification.

Any Leavers care to comment ?

DGR - have you watched it? Any good? Already have a massive backlog on catchup to wade through.

I've not watched the full thing, but I think I might have seen clips on fb about telling the difference between cows accents, but being stumped wrt fish...

Is that the one?

Was v v funny 😁

Not watched the whole show but just browsed some clips on twitter. Absolutely ridiculous notion to be smuggling Countryfile to Dublin when Landward is full of fit Scottish farmers with the odd wayward buffalo and gin palace thrown in for good measure - not to mention Dougie Vipond's face when Nick Nairn serves up his latest creation.

(I love a good shite and silage programme followed by Gardeners' World and Beechgrove and I have a massive crush on DV )

Still think Limmy's show is better cos once you get Glasgow do you really need to venture further?

Howabout - off on a tangent but you have just reminded me of that lovely farming programme that was on last year “This Farming Life” following farmers in the highlands of Scotland. The very fit buffalo farmer certainly ticked all my boxes 😍😊.

Love This Farming Life and all the non-stop drama on The Mart. Cannot be bothered with Antiques Roadshow and Homes Under the Hammer.

Personally, I laughed out loud. But as an illustration of the shite (and I use that word in character ) Theresa May and the Bonkers Brexiteers are spouting about a technological "soft border" it's a priceless example of pricking pomposity.

Not sure if my favorite bit was the border plank, or the lady asking if we really needed more types of pork sausage, whilst struggling with the concept of an avocado ...

You are definitely not ready for Limmy DGR.

Er Limmys Daft Wee Stories ?

"Aye, ye'll get away wi it in Embru"

He sounds like me when I came home after 5 years in London and got accused of being English all over Glasgow - never heard Limmy with his Sunday voice on before.

Good job I'm mid lazy parenting. Now I'm going to have to google Richard Herring doin his hing cos he comes across as a total twit here.

Funny vids. The plank is my favourite.

Everyone hear about Danny Blanchflower? Ex MPC member. Econ Prof at Dartmouth College in the US. Generally is sensible. And he's a Brit.

Must admit I read these government reports on Brexshit and thought they are underestimating the downside.

Here he is saying if this transpires it's the equivalent of the Great Depression.

Right. I'm thinking the next bonanza is in distressed UK assets. Corporate, commercial real estate and residential mortgages. Vulture and special opps funds are going to be busy if I'm wrong.

So @mummmy2017 is it crickets then?

No answer on how you see the GFA renegotiated if Ireland says no? And NI says no?

Given also the GFA is not effectively part of the UK's constitution how do you see the renegotiation working?

GFA renegotiation would very probably require a referendum. I don't know why anyone would think this is likely to happen.

Olivia if you want a bit more comedy half hour then Danny and AFN have an ongoing twitter spat which is second only to the Andrew Adonis back and forth.

Misti this paper covers the status of the GFA and the practicalities of amending it. It is a living document in many respects as an evolving relationship between Ireland, NI and the UK was envisaged at the outset. It has already been updated by The St Andrews Agreement.

There is also a section on its status in International Law.

"How can the Good Friday Agreement be revised?

...By far the most probable scenario is that the continuing cooperative bilateralism between the UK and Irish governments will allow the necessary rewriting and deletions required of Strand Two of the Good Friday Agreement. The Irish government would surely not challenge the UK.
In any case, the International Court of Justice cannot hear any dispute between Ireland and the UK in relation to Northern Ireland. The UK’s exclusion in terms of permitting International Court of Justice rulings is in respect of any dispute with a country which is or has been a member of the Commonwealth. Citizens cannot bring cases. The UK Government’s White Paper, ‘The United Kingdom’s exit from and new partnership with the European Union’ pledges ‘continued adherence to the constitutional framework,
rights and institutions provided for in the Belfast Agreement’18 (Annex B, para.5). The White Paper also states that the government ‘remain fully committed to the Belfast Agreement and its successors’. The use of the plural ‘successors’ is curious. The 2006 St Andrews Agreement modified the Belfast Agreement and might possibly be considered a ‘successor’ deal but there have been no others. It might be concluded that the post-Brexit revisions to the Good Friday Agreement will form a ‘successor’ deal."

Has anyone else noticed the 'Brexit Landlady' has a propensity to start threads with GBGBGBGBGB?
It's almost as if they don't realise that NI is actually part of the UK and really only care about outcomes for GB, rather than UK as a whole. Strange that.

This is when one realises why Scotland almost voted to leave the UK.

Threads are always started with UK UK UK etc.

How on earth do you get 'GBGBGB' from 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 🇬🇧?

Surely you're not deliberately trying to be a stirring little GF?

Faith: Does GBGB have some different, secret meaning to GB GB then?
Why would missing a space make me a GF? You really are a GF yourself, Faith.

And as for this: Threads are always started with UK UK UK etc. - maybe you'd like to check how 19 Jan BA thread was started, how the 26 Feb BA thread was started and how this current one was started. Talk about alternative facts

Actually, unless you're seeing something different to me, GBGBGB is exactly how BAL starts this thread, ie. no space, so I can only assume you're deliberately trying to stir. Sad, really.

twofingers I suspect this is another quirk of mobile v desktop versions.

I don't see GBGBGB I just see the flags.

All I see are the Union flags, not letters.

UK on my phone auto-emojis as 🇬🇧.

All I can conclude is that you're a GF for insisting it is GB & not UK.
