Brexit mega thread part 10 : what's the (s)tory? Incompetence, tax evasion, dodgy loans and economic free fall...nothing to see here...check out those sunlit uploands!

Part 10 of our long running thread.
I'm still putting my money on a spring GE.
The tory slash and burn of the UK is right on track.
Bon chance my friends!

I can't belie Tory party member were so stupid to reject Rory Stewart (well, I can believe they were that stupid). I think he summed it up well himself, that they prefer comfortable lies (that they've had delivered in abundance) than uncomfortable truths.

Gordon Bennett! Even the Tories are calling themselves Nat C's now...

“National conservatism” has a rather unhealthy ring to it.

Ouch

Gerry Murphy, Chairman, Burberry, “It is somewhat perverse that on the day we left the EU Single Market, you removed VAT refunds for tourists made the UK the least attractive shopping destination in Europe.. Leaving the EU is a drag on growth."

Remember none of this matters to Louise and their ilk. They would happily be the last person left upon the smouldering remains of the UK - a country once regarded as wealthy and decent - as long as they have their precious sovereignty. A concept so ephemeral and ethereal that in 7 deals of debate no one has yet been able to deliver a definition two brexiteers will agree on.

This is why the only way forward for the UK is to ignore people like Louise. Both at the personal level, and at the political level.

The slow descent of the GOP gives us a tantalising glimpse of what may be yet to come.

Unicorn Kingdom

Rishi Sunak, "We just launched a campaign in Silicon Valley just talking about our companies and what they are doing.. The campaign is called Unicorn Kingdom."

I guess it works for the kind of fantasy thinking that Brexshit supporters have to do to pretend things are still going swimmingly...

Assuming that isn't a deep parody, it will be the lads at CCHQ trying to game Google.

Again.

Remember Boris' sudden hobby of model buses ?

Um...please...tell me thats a spoof?? 🙏

There is an advert too

How to turn your country into soup - first, brew a really good laughing stock...

Well this sounds like a room full of people I wouldn’t want to spend time with.

Silicon Valley - California, Sunny Uplands - Unicorn Kingdom.

Boris Johnson - "We've got no plan, what will we do?".

Who'd a thunk it...

That would be great but how would the stamping work? Not so good if there's another queue for stamping anyway.

The thing is it will be howled down by the JRMs of this world. And that's before having to ask if there is any political will for this in the EU.

If we want the EU to do this we’ll have to offer them something in return won’t we. Which means it’s a non starter because Brexit Britain’s negotiating position is take everything give nothing.

Which is in opposition to its rest of the world trading position which is we’ll do anything please give us a trade deal.

There are 27 countries that could oppose any moves. And the UK will have to deal with each one individually. Bearing in mind Schengen makes things stickier, not easier on this side of the equation.

Once we get a decent government who negotiate in good faith I think things will go more smoothly than people seem to think.

There are somethings that will move along but borders are sovereign and it will be down to individual countries to allow access to E Gates, as Spain, on its own, did to ease queues.

I'm not entirely convinced Labour will do any better then the current lot in regard to negotiating with the EU.

More winning

standout sentence:

But the UK has yet to announce its strategy, with the chancellor telling the BBC that he would wait to see what the EU did before making any decisions.

So much for "go your own way ...." eh ?

>I'm not entirely convinced Labour will do any better then the current lot in regard to negotiating with the EU.

Can anyone do worse than the current lot? (sunak is just a different face, the rest of the fanatics are still in the driving seat.

>I'm not entirely convinced Labour will do any better then the current lot in regard to negotiating with the EU.

That's still an attack vector by Tory supporters. I.e. "Yes we're awful, but look at them. They'll be just as bad. Not that we have any evidence for that, but if we keep saying it some gullible people will start to believe that they're all as hideously corrupt as we are."

And while I don't believe Labour are going to be Insert your favourite religious saviour here, I don't believe for a moment that they are even remotely as corrupt as this bunch of completely self-serving grifters.
