So you think its going well then Thrugelmir? More than a year into the Article 50 process and 2 years since the referendum and what is government's answer on customs issues and the Irish border.

It's, as expected, being dragged out as much as possible.

But I don't think that is the fault of anyone who voted either way and certainly not the fault of people who voted brexit.

What is happening now is solely down to the government.

It would be somewhat easier but for the Quislings in parliament and the snivel service who are doing everything they can to undermine what people voted for. May must take some of the blame for packing the cabinet with these traitors.

And just to prove my point, up pops Jezza right on cue.

To cope with the downturn in the economy that Brexit will cause, the Cabinet has just waved through the 3rd Heathrow runway.
To help with the 700 extra planes flying daily to cope with that recession and downturn in UK-international trade.

Standard Brexiter logic. Take any vaguely positive news item and make a point about Brexit. Ideally ignore details such as it having been in the pipeline for yonks.

Did anybody say that politics isn't dirty. Ultimately politicians are only responsible to their own electorate. No different to the French attitude towards financial services.

The financial settlement lasts around 44 years post exit. No deal makes no sense to the EU as a whole. The UK holds all the aces.

Like Sturgeon. A kid attempting to play with the adults. Absolutely no coherent plan at all. Just soundbites created by their desperate spin Doctors to keep themselves in the news and appear relevant.

It was always going to de difficult and I don't think any other party would have done any better and we can't judge them until the final deal. I don't think it is a good negotiation skill to reveal what you are prepared to give away to early especially as the EU have made no concessions.

Just to be clear I am blaming the government here for this mess, even the difficult electoral arithmetic is entirely May's fault due to completely botching last year's GE.

I also fully agree that Corbyn is both incompetent and a complete hypocrite on the EU issue, but the fact that the opposition is just as bad as the government isn't exactly something I am cheering about either!
