Ps agree with the comments on Wolf of Wall St and Dark knight. Both classics in my eyes !

Loved The Joker. It’s not a typical Batman film so if people expect that they will be disappointed. Ultimately it’s about a loners struggles with mental illness. V dark. Great performance by Phoenix

It’s a fair argument however both main parties also campaigned on leaving single market and customs union (as it was). A deal was then proposed by May which labour rejected even though it wasn’t contradictory to what they campaigned. I agree that most people would want a deal though. ps Lib...

What’s wrong with chicken and mushroom ?! : )

Spin the bottle in my youth wasn’t used to decide such trivial matters Tony !! ;) Look, this all Johnsons pretence to keep the pressure on the EU to do a deal. Otherwise as I’ve said (probably 100 times before) there’s little incentive for the EU, it will always be extend and dictate the length...

Hopefully just a blip and too many off days. Let’s see what the reactions like next week. Not sure Hyam/McFadz is the partnership...looked a little iffy against Donnie as well.

Agreed, it has been wasted, I can’t believe Hammond/May slowed no deal planning for starters....again, crazy !

I’m reassured, thank you Fernando ; ) Sorry, you are correct, I should’ve just said length, however, what’s to say the EU won’t turn around and say, for example...we’ll give you an extension but you need to have a second referendum ?! Point remains the same though, we pay around £1bn in the pot...

Some may beg to differ Fernando ! I meant Johnson was positioning it as ‘lets get something done now or else’ - whether people believe he would proceed with no deal or not is another question....MPs obviously believed him....unless they are just trying to stop Brexit altogether - I wouldn’t...

Ps just heard that a Scottish court (I think) has released that the letters requesting an extension have already been prepared and will be released on 19th in any event I mean FFS, I give up. At least see if he gets anywhere before removing any semblance of leverage (to get deal done...not...

Is that correct though Shmmeee ? Mays deal been rejected three times and whilst some labour MPs have indicated they would now support, I’m not sure it would get through To be fair I also think a lot of people are forgetting how the EU negotiators commented on the WA. A reminder (click link -...

I’m talking about factory/premises and spot checks, not border checks. Which is why I was saying there would be a high risk (smuggling) area near border

Easy mate ! We’re all frustrated.

The letter states he hopes ‘the proposals form the basis for rapid negotiations’ I agree that time is ridiculously tight and there is no way it will get done without an EU ‘technical extension’ I respectfully disagree with yourself and shmmmeee regarding the requirement for a hard border...

The proposal was supposed to reopen negotiations...not necessary expected to be accepted without alteration. Let’s see

Maybe if we’d run the trade talks concurrently we’d have come to that decision already, who knows. As I’ve said though it all comes down to what people (on both sides) are willing/able to consider and get passed. I believe it is/will be possible to avoid a hard border without remaining in the...

I agree DJR...if we lived in a simple world. The concern (whether valid or not) is that the EU will try to find reasons to reject alternative arrangements and keep us in the backstop. As my post above, the EU appear to want a perfect solution ie to replicate the current situation, therefore...

Bit dramatic Fernando. By all accounts he is at least trying to put forward an alternative solution that might get through parliament (however much the EU might not like it their/Mays deal has been reject three times so it needs to change !). I don’t believe the primary intention is just to...

Only 22 and an absolute beast already !!!!

Far better than shovelling 50% of kids into uni, apprenticeships + is a good way forward (for individuals and country)
