Re: Post-Brexit Thread
Angela Merkel's top economic advisors tell her to STOP BREXIT claiming it ISN'T done deal
http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/...ain-leaving-EU
The German Chancellor Angela Merkel was handed a report on Wednesday by her top economic advisers urging her and other European politicians to block Britain from exiting - despite the country’s referendum result.
In a move which Brexiteers will see as outrageous meddling in the June 23 referendum result for Britain to exit the EU, the German Council of Economic Experts also warned that, in its view, leaving the bloc was not a done deal.
The annual report said the European Union will not be better off without Britain.
It stated: “ The German Council of Economic Experts calls for constructive negotiations to prevent an exit, or at the least to come to an agreement that minimizes the damage on both sides.”

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
They can say what they want us leaving the EU is a done deal and the government has confirmed that, what it shows is that certain germans do support a balanced settlement between the UK and the EU a view that isn't only in Germany. I know it's the in thing to talk down the UK and get all enthusiastic about any potential bad economic news but the UK's bargaining position is stronger then many realise and the government is aware of that hence the tough rhetoric. They will be interesting negotiations with sabre rattling on both sides for the first twelve months the final agreement will be finalised in the second year.

Exactly Rizzy. What I can't understand about the remoaners is the continuous harping of about the present economic downturn and the forecasts for next year.
Even the most ardent Brexiter has said from the beginning that they (myself included) expected this in the short term and it was a price we were prepared to pay to rid this country of the EU shackles.

If you keep using the toddler name calling, you will just keep winding people up .. this applies to both sides.
If you can't debate without resorting to childish names then why bother?

Even if you're not one you still get labeled it anyway or a remainiac, I didn't think we did this childish nonsense here anyway

A Conservative MP is calling for BBC 1 to restore the tradition of playing the national anthem at the end of each day’s programmes, in honour of Brexit.
Andrew Rosindell, the MP for Romford, said the BBC should be "unashamedly British" and celebrate the UK's exit from the EU with a clear statement that "Britain is back."
He has tabled an early day motion this morning calling for the anthem to be played before the switch over to BBC News 24.

Personally I think that's a bit unpatriotic. Why does he want the national anthem at the end of the day when no one will be watching? We should have the national anthem played on the hour, every hour, across television.

I'm not a remoaner (and like others I don't think it's a constructive term) but the current economic situation is unique. So it's interesting to observe the effects on the economy.
Many have said that there will be no bad effects "I've seen nothing rise in price so it's not happening" is one comment I've heard. Others have said a recession is highly likely. Only this week, Crispin Odey, a leave campaigner said this.
So documenting changes in the economy, both good and bad helps us to understand the situation better.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
March deadline might be a bit close too although there is still a possible appeal.

Overtime for the lawyers. May's Conservative Conference promises like all-Academy schools and workers on company boards and now article 50 seem to be facing extreme difficulties.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
If they appeal and lose, then it goes to Parliament. What then? If sufficient MPs vote against, directly overruling their constituents in many cases, May's next obvious move is to call an election. I wouldn't fancy being a Labour MP under those circumstances, and there might be one or two nervous arch-Europhile Tories as well.
A general election in early 2017 would be an absolute gift to UKIP under Paul Nuttall also.
No, I think if they find themselves faced with the reality of overturning Brexit, most MPs will find their instinct for self preservation kicking in.
