"I think even a basic deal with the EU might not be compatible with a deal with Trump." This but also whatever deal is arrived will satisfy only a small proportion of contradictory Leave factions. A large chuck of leave voters wanted to remain in single market. Keano, less so. YOu can never reconcile leavers, never mind anyone else So we continue to lose rights, at cost, to the satisfaction of noone

It was only a couple of posts ago it was referenced/explained - keep up but your question is revealing - you are either trolling or actually believe this (i think it's a bit of both for you 20% trolling 80% belief)

so majority of people in all the other countries have taken a blue pill but you and your fellow english travellers can see things we can't?

" a load of unelected EU apparatchiks who want to spend our money and tell us what to do" you do know this is not normal language? normal people don't speak like this? and bajillions of people of all classes in EU countries just wouldn't even recognise what you are saying?

possibly both? It's a trope amongst hardcore Brexiters/Trump supporters that everyone else has taken the blue pill and are oblivious/blind to the truth And they spend too much time down internet wormholes having crazy views reenforced by likeminded souls

"all the lunatics are currently in the Government and pushing hard for exactly this" agreed. but at the risk of repeating myself.. [looks at keano and his red-pill internet history]

Because the sovereign power want the benefits of proximity to the eu without the obligations Sovereignty isn't a one-way "win/win" - there are tradeoffs. And the UK is unwilling to countenance the cost of it's folly. They aren't restictions "imposed" on a sovereign country - they are the consequences explained clearly during teh referendum and dismissed as project fear.

it wasn't the eu begging for previous extension and they aren't this time either - but they are open to the idea so that we don't embarrass/damage ourselves farther. And Johnson will request it because he knows the damge done to the UK will be on him if he doesn't

"I?m sure you don?t need a history lesson from me but it?s because a coalition of Remainers forced BJ to request one." well I wouldn't WANT a history kesson from you, but that's very different Johnson was forced to by reality - not a coalition of Remainers Still - he's running out of excuses to hide behind now. And when he requests another extension in a couple of weeks we can chow down on some more popcorn

riiiiight

that hoary old excuse is quite mouldy by now The EU haven't blinked so far, have infinitely more resilience to this than the UK If the EU are close to blinking why are we even in a 1 year extension already?

"Only a lunatic would persist with a hard Brexit right now." or several million of them I know the surveys at the weekend had "more than half" of the public support extension. But that means almost half don't support an extension.

?The antifa fascists? You couldn?t make this up Why is it controversial to be ANTI FAscist glen Isn?t that exactly the position Britain took in WW2?

Keano. I wouldn?t get excited about wto terms if I were you World Trade Organisation: No-Deal Brexit will put UK at risk in new depression. A NO-DEAL Brexit risks extra trouble for the UK during an oncoming recession that could be as deep as the Great Depression, the head of the WTO has said. 'Let's go WTO!' https://www.thenational.scot/news/18516523.wto-no-deal-brexit-will-put-uk-risk-new-depression/?ref=twtrec

? We hear that Coronavirus affects the BAME community disproportionately higher, with behaviour such as this protest, you can begin to see reasons why.? It?s barely a subtext to be fair. Snake is saying black peopel bring it on themselves? Or am I misreading and being unfair Because if these protesters aren?t helping the spread of the virus, surely same is true of the large, mostly white gatherings at beaches this weekend. But i can?t see anyone saying ?white people bring it on themselves?

Wingless. I can read the subtext of snake?s post just fine thanks

Jesus Have you seen pictures of crowded beaches full of white People everywhere this weekend??? But you want to scold black People for protesting about being murdered by police

"But you know... social distancing is still important too. People are still dying (several hundred a day in UK)." Fair. For some reason I'd suspended this angle

Starmer is not leading the country (not yet anyway) Don?t you get it. People follow the government message and actions. And there is the problem.

Amazing how these individual scumbags generally exercise power in one direction. It?s a stunning coincidence how black men suffer this kind of death for no reason so often. And yet groups of white men can turn up with guns protesting at lockdown and... nothing happens Talk about being wilfully blind

Are people seriously complaining or belittling other who want to protest at disgusting events in America. I expect better from you fishy People should be on the streets. I?m amazed the reaction is as muted as it is tbh

Leaving aside for a moment they are all answering to different accusations, the last time I checked, none of those people are in anyway involved in leading or writing policy for uk government during this crisis?

think the boo thing is a bit rubbish - however "Agree or disagree with him he's here for 4 years" is categorically not going to happen - in 4 years: Boris will be long gone UK on way to being gone possibly election well before 4 years time as well "We are not a banana republic" Then "we" need to stop behaving like one. Action without consequences is what happens in banana republics. Scotland had no problem telling senior people they had to leave when they broke with policy

Starm Troopers surely?

Wow. What a profound response to real problems which will massively damage people?s lives. So deep.
