The Brexit aftermath thread

[Slant]

Says the poster whose nation's government is, literally, on the brink of collapse.

I thought nation-bashing was against the rules here?

No? He does it time after time and nothing is ever done.

I'll take an infraction on the chin for the Brits.

Fuck off you Belgian cunt.

How courageous. He still has a point, though. British domestic politics blames everything on the EU and tries to use the EU as leverage for domestic topics. This isn't a secret, it's something your fellow Brits have explained to us. Acting all surprised and butthurt won't change that.

He’s trolling, Slant.

be that as it may, he still has a point.

You need to play nice with your neighbor if you want to be invited to their barbecue party. Even if you don't like their home design.

Is this wind up Nigel night tonight?

I think it’s abundantly clear that I will not be sharing sausages with Acidbaron.

That may be, but he still has a valid point.

[Nigel Tufnel]

That may be, but he still has a valid point.

He had a valid point the first time. Maybe the tenth time. Not the 100th time....

[Deadite]

A shocking new video has been leaked....

Oh that's good. Can I use it when someone whines about Germany and WW2 again? :P

[Gibblewink]

I don't think Acidbaron is bashing the nation/people of UK as much as the behavior of the various UK governments, particularly as regards the EU.

[Nigel Tufnel]

Lol Yes, ofc, but in fairness who mentions WW2 other than nutters on the fringe / gutter journalism?

Has anyone in this thread gone full Basil Fawlty other than Dribbles?

There were some. In the first 100 pages or so some people have suggested that Germany would now take over the EU and subjugate everyone in a fascist wet's dream. "Some", though, not all. I think it was a response to the bitterness we expressed over the whole deal. A bitterness that we have learned to suppress for the sake of politeness. Dribs and his likes can break through the surface once in a while, but at least I can quench it relatively quickly again.

Though, admittedly, a certain "well, fuck off then, see if we care" is always a tiny part of my sentiment.

[Lollis]

Lieutenant or LEFtenant?

Muhuhahaha.

English is really fucking weird sometimes isn't it.

OK... so it looks like Tuesday will result in a failed vote, and May will have a really bad day.

What exactly does "No Deal" mean? UK is out of the EU but … well what happens with all of the trading that has been happening for … decades? What happens to Ireland and the "hard border"? And when is UK officially out of the EU?

I can't believe it really seems to be happening like this. I've been purposely not paying too much attention to the details of what "No Deal" really means because I … did not want to believe it would really happen.

Maybe Dribbles made this option sound so much worse than it will actually be. I just can't get my head around this.

You're really getting the hang of being British, guess something productive came out of this after all :P

On a more serious note; confirmation that article 50 can be unilaterally revoked.

In a No Deal the UK will be out 29th of march 11 pm.

For everything else ask dribbs, he should know all the answers to questions regarding "No Deal".

I see. So 3 and a half months to work out a lot of details.

These will be quite stressful times for a lot of people. And it sounds like there is no way that UK could put together a let's get back into the EU plan by then, even if they wanted to. As divided as the country seems to be on this issue, I can't see anyone even TRYING to move forward with this.

Details? What details?

[Dhrizzle]

ECJ has ruled the UK can unilaterally decide to cancel Brexit.

What's wrong with no further payments to the EU and as a result tax cuts, public spending up?

And don't forget that £39bn we retain to spend on us.

Shall I point out to you the flaws and contradictions from just the first few pages or do you want to keep believing?
