Not the Brexit Arms

[bearbehind]

Since BrexitArmsLandlady says she isn't starting anymore threads here's a place to discuss Brexit developments for those that still want to.

It never ceases to amaze me what a shambles this is.

The cabinet still can't even agree what we want, let alone what we're going to get.

Love all these songs

Surely for MN, The wheels on the bus, with slightly altered lyrics.

Elton, leaving on a jet plane.

Alice Cooper, Elected, obviously.

Wall St shuffle , 10cc

Half the truth - Kaiser Chiefs

For later maybe, London's Burning, the Clash

We aren't ever going to default to no deal
But Theresa May could let us crash out by accident.

How about 'What do you want if you don't want money?' Because we won't have any if all our industry starts to flee.

But Theresa May could let us crash out by accident

I don't believe it's going to come to that. I think there is a vague sembalance of a plan whereby we'll just have to accept whatever we're given and TM and Leavers can forever blame that on the EU.

Always was going to be the case though - it’s why there was never a plan from the get go, just an end deal which will be to take whatever we are given or nothing at all.

Except we won't ever opt for the 'nothing at all' because it would damage the country even more than the alternative.

We simply aren't prepared for no deal so we'll have to accept whatever we're offered.

I am not as confident as you bearbehind. IMO the Airbus and BMW's warnings are pretty stark but you get Hunt and others denouncing them. Although I agree on May and Co's past form, the 'rows of the summer' have fizzled away to nothing.

Hunt denouncing the concerns of businesses as 'inappropriate' just proves how detached from reality the government are.

They still think if they dont talk about the hard stuff it will just disappear; it's pathetic.

However it does show that we are simply blustering with any talk of no deal as we still don't think it will get to that; albeit the government still thinks 'cake and eat it' is an option.

What does Hunt know of engineering industries like aerospace and car production? I suspect the amount he knows could be written on the back of an envelope.

I love how Airbus et al announcements are inappropriate, but Tim Martin and James Dyson are just fine.

Hypocrites.

Is Boris's comment appropriate too?

I am very interested in this new Brexit direction, in which Britons wanting to working for a living are unpatriotic unless involved in fishing or fruit picking.

Pineapple - what on earth are you talking about?

I'm talking about your man Boris Johnson and his now famous comment about Airbus and Rolls Royce's warnings about a hard Brexit:

"Fuck business."

What's 15000 jobs in aerospace when you can pick fruit, eh?

For the love of God ! I go away for a few days and you all bring out the tunes < sulks>

Are you having a 'Joe Dolce' moment?

I'm convinced Boris is trying to do his absolute best to get the sack so he can walk away from the whole Brexit mess and just complain from the back benches about how it would have all been great if he was in charge.

Boris had the chance to be in charge. At least Gove had the guts to put up for the job, even though the party didn't want him.

In any ordinary UK business Boris would have been sacked long ago for gross misconduct.

Which just goes to show how dysfuctional this government actually is.

There are loads of them that wouldn't do well in business - Jeremy Corbin for instance.
