Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !
 

What is it with Labour? We have Corbyn telling all and sundry that he'd never use nukes no matter what and we have Keir Starmer deciding that a) it's a good idea to act unilaterally over the status of EU citizens in the UK and b) to state that a Labour Government would not walk away from negotiations even if the EU refused to compromise and deliver the sort of deal he says Labour wants.

What sort of negotiation technique is that then?*

When we decide to move and find the house of our dreams I'm going to make sure I maximise my bargaining position by telling the vendors that we'll buy it no matter what price they ask and whatever other conditions they attach to the deal... :rolleyes:


* Maybe the sort which is intended to secure such a poor deal from the EU that the pubic would be bound to reject it when asked in the referendum Labour have promised and the end result is that we wind up staying in the EU.

Nah, they're just making sure they're unelectable!

Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !
 

:doh:

So that's why they elected Corbyn as 'leader'... :D

Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !
 

Maybe he needs to buy Donald's book... ? ;)


The EU needs to know that we are prepared to walk away from the deal, and know that it is a reality, not a pretend, weak, threat

Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !
 

Exactly. Labour, the Lib wossits and the salmond national party would happily sell UK PLC down the river. The EU would make us pay to remain in and we'd come out of this whole thing having ceded more of our powers and money to the faceless Brussels parasites. They'd no doubt then blame the Tories for the whole thing.

Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !
 

And the Brussels 'parasites' will now have to be replaced by Whitehall 'parasites' that are now desperately being recruited, on account of how we've made most of them redundant over the last 10 years. No doubt they will soon be seen as the enemy again. People will never be satisfied, we're a nation of Daily Fail moaners.

Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !
 

Well you're a moaner :rolleyes:

You'll have to excuse my laughing at you MrK complaining about moaners when you make most look like shiny happy people. Labour can say what they want it's never going to happen my dogs have more chance of forming the next government then labour probably got better policies as well. This election is a foregone conclusion the only question is how big a majority the tories will get though i do believe there are enough daft EU supporters to propel the lib dems higher then they deserve but thankfully nowhere near enough that they will have a sniff of power again.

I hadn't realised Article 50 was so short! From what you read sometimes, people are comparing their achievement in reading Article 50 to having read War and Peace or Ulysses. Bless 'em.

Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !
 

It was only supposed to be a joke, now we're the joke !

Article 49 is a much better read ;)

A friend of mine has just been Bre-exited today. :( A double whammy of the government's energy policy and Brexit sees the company move central operations to Europe and have the UK as just a sales outlet.

The same for 300 Nestle jobs in Newcastle and York. The work is going to Poland. There'll more of that I'm afraid. http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/15244675.display/

Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !
 

We (the leave voters) never claimed that this process would be painless :(

Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !
 

Nestle intended the move before brexit, labour is cheaper in Poland.
