To feel so angry that we'll be getting a no deal Brexit now on top of all this shit

Australia deal = no deal effectively. Quite annoyed with the PM smirking though his speech as well. Seemingly uncaring about what he's inflicting on people. I do believe people in 2016 weren't voting for no deal. I know it's happening anyway, but it's a cheek to try to blame the EU for it imo.

@amusedtodeath1

He's smirking because he knows he has the EU over a barrel. They need us more than we need them and all this is them trying to get what they want without compromise.

It ain't over yet people. My guess is they are playing chicken right now and Boris is confident they will back down first

Can't believe there are still people coming out with this utter fucking shite.

In what ways, exactly, do the EU need us more than we need them? Please enlighten us.

Sunshiney1981 · 16/10/2020 18:18

I’m still waiting to hear why we’re leave voters think we’ll be better off out of the EU..... any leave voters care to enlighten me because I can’t see a single reason?

Sunshiney1981 · 16/10/2020 18:19

No op, YANBU.

You can't actually believe this bollocks? The only thing the EU wants now is for the UK to fuck off, and to stop acting the gobshite over the UK-EU border. That's it.
We neither want or need the UK. What the shite do you think anyone wants you FOR?

MayYouLiveInInterestingTimes · 16/10/2020 18:22

Nothing much to add but my anger too. This has been a shit show from the start. I wish I could leave Britain.

TimeFlysWhenYoureHavingRum · 16/10/2020 18:23

YANBU. However it is naive to think that a deal was ever going to be made. No deal was always the planned endgame for Cummings and the other Brexit architects. The "negotiations from our side have been an utter sham. From David Davies to David Frost , the British side have hardly turned up and have clearly just been winding down the clock.
Covid has been a gift from the gods for them, providing a very convenient smokescreen but I doubt anything would be much different without it (other than maybe a bit more outrage and more protests).
Its notable that most of the previously very vocal cheerleaders for this fiasco on here and elsewhere have gone very quiet.

MumbleJunction · 16/10/2020 18:30

It's a shit show. I know my parents didn't vote for no deal when they voted leave. A recent survey in the FT shows most people think it's a bad idea now. Why the fuck can't our shite bag government do a deal? 2021 is going to be a wipeout.

MollysMummy2010 · 16/10/2020 18:37

I work in a European distribution centre in the uk and I am terrified.

The80sweregreat · 16/10/2020 18:38

It's a shitshow all round and the likes of JRM and our PM will clean up here.
Disaster's make others rich. A few have already managed it from covid and now this. :(

Pumperthepumper · 16/10/2020 18:50

I’m so angry about this - every fucking prediction Remainers made (fucking over the GFA, massive drop in food standards, no deal) has come true and STILL Leavers are trying to pretend Johnson knows what he’s doing and that it’s for the best and that they knew what they were voting for.

Like another PP said, I can’t understand why Leavers aren’t rioting in the streets for being made to look like complete and utter idiots, and making the UK a global laughing stock.

Fuck every single one of you who voted for this. I hope you’re ashamed, not only of how you voted but also for your refusal to do anything about the lies you were fed and believed.

ChillerKillerCroissant · 16/10/2020 18:54

I don't believe BJ ever wanted a deal - he was always aiming for no deal. Brexiteers presumably don't mind the price rises this will cause.

MayYouLiveInInterestingTimes · 16/10/2020 19:01

I am now 2 glasses drunk so will get as grandiose on the internet as that bastard rich toff in Westminster, and rather more so than the unelected turd who pulls his strings.

May this day live long in the annals of British history. The day 68 million Britons were betrayed into poverty by their rich aristocrat leaders. Not since Victorian times have so many been shat upon by so few, and I cannot believe that the term “democracy” has been in any way linked with this total disaster capitalism. This is the absolute inverse of democracy. Even the Brexiteers swore no deal would not be allowed to happen.

And yeah. Fuck all who voted for this.

ListeningQuietly · 16/10/2020 19:07

Project Fear never was
Folks were lied to in 2016
they equivocated in 2017
but in 2019 voted to Get Brexit Done - even though they knew it was lies

Zero sympathy

ItWasTheBestOfTimes · 16/10/2020 19:08

I personally think there will still be a thin deal, something to build on with hopefully a lengthy implementation period, there is already going to be a lot of disruption from non-tariff barriers as a result of leaving the customs union and single market even if we do agree a FTA. The Government must be aware that the electorate’s appetite for brexit is lessening anyway. I don’t think even the Torys could recover politically from the disruption caused by no deal with the medicine and food shortages that will cause, plus 2nd wave of Covid, possibly 2nd lockdown and maybe flooding all at once. Especially as they had the chance to extend transition so actively chose to have all these disastrous things occurring at once.

cantdothisnow1 · 16/10/2020 19:12

YABU to not have seen this coming.

IMO it was always the plan.

Some people will benefit from a no Brexit deal, no surprises who?

ListeningQuietly · 16/10/2020 19:13

itwas
Que?
A50 was called yonks ago
it was extended twice
The UK left the EU in January
the transition period ends soon
what MORE do you expect?

SirSamuelVimes · 16/10/2020 19:14

@unmarkedbythat

He looked smug, didn't he? But then he always does.

Idiots will still try to blame the EU for not rolling over and giving the UK everything it wanted whilst allowing it drop everything it didn't want. If the past 4 years haven't taught them how wrong they are, I doubt even the coming 4 years will. They'll continue to blame the big, bad EU for everything because to do otherwise would mean admitting they believed a load of hogwash and have brought real and totally unnecessary suffering upon us. I don't think their egos will allow them to do anything but double down and pretend.

All of this.

They don't know either. In 2020 the only type of person who still thinks brexit is a good idea are fucking stupid morons.
AcornsVsBcorns · 16/10/2020 19:24

The government are criminals and they are robbing us blind.

I will never vote for a Tory government in my lifetime. I will never forgive that party for what they have fone, or allowed to be done in their name.

@73kittycat73 bollocks. So who in the EU was saying that ^^ in 2016?

No one, that's who. But nice attempt at rewriting history.

QuentinWinters · 16/10/2020 19:41

That's a lot of people you are talking about there. Maybe this is exactly the attitude leave voters were trying to get away from?
That's the attitude leave voters caused. 8 can't blame the Irish at all for feeling like this. We have been a total pain in the arse. "Make Britain Great Again"? I've never been ashamed to be British, or more specifically English, before Brexit. Its ruined us.

Jellykat · 16/10/2020 19:43

YADNBU I can't believe on top of Covid, and the fact the economy is on its knees as a result, we've got bloody Brexit coming..
Its some scary shit!!
