Aren't you in London?

Up here in the 'civilised' North they get it on a regular occurrence. But perhaps that's because they're less tolerant of foreigners because they're in a minority up here.

I thought he changed his name to appeal more to the common man than to avoid a brick through the window? If he were at all interested in keeping a low profile he wouldn't have taken the path he has.

The muppets who were arrested recently were members of an illegal organisation somewhere to the right of Genghis Khan, not because they were 'right wing' - Jacob Rees Mogg and my mother-in-law are 'right wing', fundamental difference.

If it something you believe in, what is wrong with getting locked up for it? Getting locked up didn't do Adolf's career much harm...


In the real world “mr Lennon” was imprisoned within 5 hours and silenced from the media.

But hey, only fascists are right wing eh?


Which part of contempt of court procedure are you struggling with?

I doubt that.

Seeing as he bangs on about how the outcome wasn't affected, he clearly doesn't have any idea what he's talking about.

Rees Mogg would be an interesting choice purely for comedy value. he has said that he won't stand, so this mean he probably will...

Having him as PM will reinforce the world's perception of the English class system. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2k1iRD2f-c

Cameron was a toff as well but Mogg's pure concentrated toff.

People seem unable to grasp what "a draft document" is, as well as what it relates to.

How much room to change it do you think we have, considering the position of the EU?

Very little. Mr IDS says there's some question that might be addressed, but will not confirm what, as it may be considered and is private until after (if).

Having started to read this document (I'm quite a way through it), I am beginning to feel that we should take the draft, finalise it, and present it to parliament. I actually hope it would successfully transit parliament. I cannot see anything in the "transitional arrangement", which is what we're talking about, that is a showstopper. There are things less than ideal, but they're time-limited, so I cannot get all that uptight about it. It's better to have this interim agreement (that's if the EU OK it when it's presented to them, which is not guaranteed) and leave on the 29th. than otherwise.

EDIT: The big worry at the moment is the "hard Brexit" people. They are likely to shoot us in the feet with both barrels. There will be such a scare about "no deal" that it's possible that "Article 50" will be postponed, and that will make it so there's more time for the clique of vociferous "Remainers" to actually stop it. I don't want that. I want to leave the EU, with an interim agreement to smooth the way (which will be time limited) and hopefully a trade deal after that (as we wish to have with many other countries in the world, not just the EU).

I think the problem is one of faith. And you would have to have an awful lot of that in them to accept this deal, even as an interim measure, given how they have behaved up till now with their inflexibility. The get-out clauses mean that they could just stymie any further adjustments by us after this is implemented, and I believe they would probably do so. Convince me otherwise?

OK here we go. Please don't blow a fuse right away, I'll try and explain a bit. Have you read any of this paper, by the way? It is heavy going, but the only way to get to the reality of what's happening.

The thing is that it's been set up by our negotiators, MPs, lawyers, who have written it jointly with their EU counterparts, and it will be examined in minute detail when complete and before being accepted, which should give some reassurance. Saying, as some do, "Everyone's a liar and nothing is true" is extremely unproductive. This agreement would not give us exactly what we want (or them what they want!), but I think it's an acceptable compromise. However, it only came out yesterday, and there's a lot to look at. Apparently "politico.eu" asked people in London what they thought of it, and it was rubbished - by people who haven't even clapped eyes on it at all! Why did they bother? More propaganda?

So anyway, to continue, yes, they have been inflexible to a large extent, BUT a huge problem has been the reporting of events we've had. The few "hard brexiters" have said things that do not seem to stand up to examination, as have Remainers, who also hate this proposed arrangement very much indeed, as it's a step on the road to our leaving the EU. Some of their claims don't stand up, either... Why, as an aside, would Remainers say "It's unacceptable because it keeps us tied to the EU!" when that's what they want to happen!

The truth is in between.

You say "the get-out clauses mean that they could just stymie any further adjustments by us after this is implemented"; well, yes, once a transitional arrangement is implemented, that's that; we would have agreed and the thing would run its course[1]. However, the *most important thing* is that we would be independent and sovereign, having actually left the EU on March 29th. at 11 p.m. to be precise. That is the very crux of the matter and thing we want. There are ramifications applying straight after Exit Day. That day is the goal, not so much how we get there.

I am not sure what "get-out clauses" there are - can you explain a little?


Let's look at the "vasselage" thing, for instance. People say "Oh, but we won't be able to make our own trade deals! How awful, it won't do!"., etc. In the document, it is explained. We CAN make trade deals during the interim period, but where (and only where) they conflict with "an exclusive EU competence", i.e. existing trade deals, we can't actually engage with them them until after the implementation period, unless the EU says "OK". If there's no conflict fine, we can make AND enter into other trade deals.

Looking at trade deals again, the implementation period, according to the draft agreement, includes the UK in currently-active EU trade zones, which supports our leaving fairly well, which is exactly what we want so as not to have a huge immediate fit and bureauocratic mayhem everywhere.


Anyway, I think I have to go out now. More later.


1) Much is made of "before mid-2020 a one-off decision could be made to extend the interim period until December 20xx", with some media pundits, mostly leavers, saying "That could be 2099". This is another "project fear" scare tactic. It's a draft document. The number can't be put in at the moment. It will be put in when the draft is agreed, and before the document is put up for consideration by the UK and EU countries. It might be, I guess, a year, or two at the very most (the EU don't want this hanging about, either, part of the problem is that they think it gives us advantage!

Don't be daft! Of course I haven't read it Laughing
I'm going to make an honest and frank admission, something I think few people here would actually be willing to do: there is little chance I would even understand most of it, because:

Quote:

...who have the necessary qualifications and experience to understand the language they have phrased it in. All I can hope to do is try to get the gist of what it means in practical terms from what I see and hear on the news, as I suspect is the case with the vast majority of people, so I don't think you should be too harsh with us in your obviously exalted position! Your posts regarding what you have read and how you have interpreted it might help with that. But now I have to judge whether or not you have the necessary qualifications to do so accurately! Laughing

Btw, I still don't trust the EU.

Oi! I am not, unfortunately, in an "exalted position", but I can read, albeit slowly. It's not too bad (the draft), I find it's necessary to read a bit and get aqcuainted with it by degrees. It's not written in legalese, but it is written in an annoying, to me, style.

The news is a HUGE problem. I came back from going out earler listening to R4 in the van, which I don't normally do, and it was actually rather different from Sky's constant oh-ahing and the BBC news. Odd.

The CBI have been emitting squeaks of sort-of satisfaction, which is good. I am most concerned that the conspiracy theorists/denyers/"I read it on the bog wall" people are distorting reality. One big problem is "remainers" pretending to be "leavers", and generally spreading misinformation.

EDIT: Re my position. You should know that I am most certainly pro-exit, which might colour my comments, but I try to be accurate about what's going on. Conspiracy theorist I ain't, though.

From the bits I've seen it seems to be written in fairly simple language. When arry starts talking about insurance stuff then I am completely lost Smile
