How will remoaners cope as it slowly dawns there will be no horror?

We'll certainly be quite happy for brexit to turn out all rainbows and unicorn farts. We'll be surprised, but happy.

Alas, I fear my definition of "success" is going to be wildly different from yours.

The cognitive dissonance is going to require a wardrobe full of Panadol.

I'm not sure there's any cure for the level of cognitive dissonance coming out of post-factual Britain. :beer:

And it may be news to you, but she doesn't have the power to do so.

The European Union will not go to "war" or seek revenge on Britain in negotiating its exit from the bloc but London cannot be part of the single market without accepting free migration, EU chief executive Jean-Claude Juncker said on Tuesday.

"Our British friends should know that, yes, we want to have a normal, friendly relationship with the United Kingdom; that, yes, there is no question of going to war or negotiating in a spirit of revenge with the British; but that if the British really want to have free access to the internal market, they must agree to respect all its rules, including on the free movement of workers," Juncker said in speech in Bruges.

Sounds reasonable.

She may do, at least for those devolved powers that Westminster no longer has the authority to revoke.

I'd expect them to hold themselves to a higher standard than some bloke posting on a message board. No?



I'd be all for them having to issue corrections/retractions on the same page and font as the incorrect article, as well as some penalty for breaching a professional ethics agreement.

I know you're trying to frame it as me wanting to shut down the press I don't like, but I just want the press to assume some basic responsibility for the deliberately rabble rousing lines they run with to cause outrage in order to generate sales

:

who would you want to define the professional standards

who would you wish to determin innocence or guilt

who would you want to determine the penalty

and just to confirm it would be ok if it were a local newspaper or an online blogg or on the radio or tv or if said by a politician?

Sounds reasonable.

Yes, the message is softening, and my bet is we will appear to have caved in by accepting an immigration quota, and that's the extent of our punishment, lol.


Note his use of 'free movement of 'workers' - instead of 'labour'. Sounds like people must have a job to come to.


Trade will not be hampered

I'm just saying that we are brexiteers, and remainers. No need for any insulting adaptations of those words. The rest of your response has no relevance to my comments.
Just send me some of your happy juice!!!
