Personally I'm very excited and will be on tenterhooks all day, every free moment will be spent watching Sky's live coverage and the countdown clock, until that glorious moment at midnight Brussels time when I will be raising a glass of champagne to celebrate the closing of the transfer window...

Yes, I accept that people want to campaign for things they believe in, however nothing will change, people are wasting their time, the decision was made by a majority back in 2016. The Government have enacted that decision.


I support the democratic process, only the future will see what the impact is on the citizens and the country, if the decision made at the referendum was right or wrong. No one has a crystal ball to tell what the future will be.

It's taken this long to negotiate our withdrawal, we are still in the dark as to what the future relationship will be. To think that people engaging in that process are "wasting their time" is pretty short-sighted.

so you think everything's done now, all the law is agreed


and that e.g. any future trading or free movements arrangement is something that no-one should have public opinions on?

Not much changes at 11.00pm UK time


But one very positive thing is that on Foie Gras


Production of Foie Gras is banned in The U.K. but the E.U. prevented The U.K. from banning it's import.

Well from 11.00pm tonight we will be able to Ban it's import.


Please sign the petition to make the U.K. free of Foie Gras.

The Law to leave the EU is agreed

Negotiations for free trade deals can commence Monday

Everything else with the EU remains the same for the next 11 months, i.e. free movement, healthcare, pensions for those UK citizens in EU countries - that needs to be agreed by 31st January 2021. And yes, visa's are likely to be required, as are restrictions on how many day's UK citizens can reside in the EU in any 180 day period, or people can ignore that and see what happens.


What does change at 11.01pm is no MEP's, no UK judges in the EU commission, no UK European Commissioner.


So let's not waste even more time going round in circles looking for every loop hole, it's a time to unite and move forward, united we stand, divided we fall.

I think the complaint from some quarters is that quite often it's not really engagement in the process. It's just obstinate trying to prove to all and sundry that Brexit is a bad idea, and seemingly taking the view that 'I voted remain' so it's not my problem to fix'. Certainly, not all remains, but a vocal minority would prefer to take the self-righteous high ground, rather than engage to help make the future relationship (such as it is) with the EU as successful as possible. I'm sure some will reply to this thread and say why should they have to come up with solutions when they didn't want it all in the first place; and therin lies the frustration, and the genesis of the 'remaoner' tag.


Just look at this thread to see how many predictions of doom, coupled with blame there are,as opposed to constructive engagement. Throw in the snarky 'go on then, explain it to me' or 'go on then, name me one good thing about brexit' or 'it's your fault not mine' and its not reall conducive to rationale debate. And I'm sure someone will reply saying that leave voters aren't rational, and believe in unicorns and lies. It's tiresome.

Cat, did Leavers ever engage to help make our relationship with the EU as successful a possible? Like feck they did.

Your lack of self=awareness is hilarious...and tiresome.

Once leavers can agree what they want then perhaps then they can ask Remainers to get on board


As things stand they are still a very loose coalition of competing ideologies, which will lead to open hostilities as soon as the hard choices to be made come to pass


Nothing has changed - apart from us being out of the EU. All the problems are still the same and have yet to be addressed.


I think Cat knows all this and is actually a bit nervous

geez, you really just want to dig for anything to have a go at people about don't you. Holding people who disagree with you to higher standards. What did you do to engage with the EU? What did 90 percent of remain do? Also fuck all.


I'm glad you find it hilarious though. At least I can bring a small amount of joy to you dark and disastrous existence in brexit Britain.

why is asking someone who's going on about engaging what they're doing to engage trolling?


an why would engaging with me help make a successful relationship with the EU?

One of life's mysteries I guess.

That you think asking for a single example of a benefit is not "constructive engagement" shows you don't really understand how "rationale debate" works.

I will happily discuss why I think membership of the EU is the best option going forward. Failing that, staying in the single market would be my preference, but it is unlikely to satisfy leave voters now that the Overton window has shifted so far towards a hard Brexit.


On the other hand, there is still no plan years after the vote. It's because there are a whole host of competing incentives for all the different factions that made up the leave vote. By contrast the remain "solutions" are incredibly clear.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
