Okay. It's official. We've joined the circus.
I'm not sure if it even cares to be friends with human decency
They won't give us single market access without the 4 freedoms. That would be a dangerous capitulation.
There's still a strong view in the city that this will be rolled back.
BoE contemplating fiscal QE as opposed to standard easing, but push backs may come from government. Carney is open to it. May involve supporting commercial property market, London resi and standard infrastructure bank type funding.

I think this is what the government wants at this point

I'm so fucking scared of when article 50 is actually triggered, not to mention BJ as Foreign secretary is going to be really disastrous.
:/ :/ :/ :/ :/ :/ :/ :/
I just can't see the light at the end of the tunnel for the opposition either
I just caught up with the news. And this is so incredible.
Boris handling the British diplomacy? Hahaha hahaha!

B-b-b-b-but democratic elected leader!!!!
Also, got wind that my job will be moving to the EU, probably Eastern Europe, pretty much as soon as we leave, if not sooner. Lovely.

The opposition is an outdated concept (no wonder the Conservatives want to keep it around). If you mean the Labour party, they need to kick out anyone who might have ended up Conservative in another lifetime and most of Corbyn's side of the party for good measure.

I just read this piece, it seems ludicrously optimistic.
This sentence stood out to me
It suggests December 2016 as a potential a50 date, but it uses the qualifier "probable", it could just be saying the date might be different but to me sounds like there is already an admission of doubt as to whether it will happen at all.David Davis said:
It would of happened regardless brexit has shown how far right wales and England have went.

I'm very doubtful that a Scotland in the UK would be allowed to stay in Europe. You'd have to go independent, and then join. Which kind of fucks Scotland over, because your economy is an integral part of the UKs and leaving the "UK single market" would fuck your economy over more than leaving the EU single market would because the rUK takes two-thirds of Scotland's exports; and you'd be trading with the UK at WTO rates until the EU deal is settled.
So basically, we have fucked you over so badly the only way you can get away from us is to fuck yourselves even harder.
May's speech made it pretty clear Scotland aren't getting another indyref. They voted to be part of the union and the union voted to leave the EU. That's that.

This sounds utterly, utterly awful.
And the Tories will expand their majority, too. Think about that.

You're right. Be worth it to be finally rid of being ruled by cunts we didn't vote for and being dragged out of/into things we didn't vote for in the future.I'm very doubtful that a Scotland in the UK would be allowed to stay in Europe.

Nope. Saying no to a second referendum is pretty much politically untenable if the Scottish Parliament votes for it. Saying no to Scotland's parliament isn't a good look. I can't see any way May can say no.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who found it optimistic. He's in charge of it so I expect results.

Try the Channel Tunnel.
The awkwardness with Johnson meeting anyone will be hilarious
We can hold anything we want(not legally binding) and if she chooses to disregard it it'll only harden positions and we'll get there eventually.

He won't have to do fuck all though as the Brexit department will do most of the work.
I reckon the more of a hard line May takes with Scotland the more chance there is of you guys actually leaving. And at this point, good luck! I wish I could join you.

I don't expect results, the UK has no leverage.
I'm pretty sure the EU would find a quicker way to have Scotland join the union by itself since they have been a member already. I also can imagine some sort of economic program to soften the short term economic impact of splitting from the UK.I'm very doubtful that a Scotland in the UK would be allowed to stay in Europe.

I agree also more the merrier, we need a bigger population. Anyone is welcome.

Funnily enough I haven't heard a single Tory who was on the cabinet say no, they aren't stupid sadly, well apart from BJ. They will try to drag it on and hope the fallout from Brexit eases in Scotland, but looking at the cabinet I think support for independence just went up especially with the foreign secretary appointment.

I must be dreaming. This is just some bizarre dream where the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is ruled by some crazy fools. It.can't.possibly.be.real.
Plus Davidson has already said that the uk govt shouldn't block a independence ref if voted on by our parliament.
It's real. This is the real UK. Mask slipped.
So disgusted by the population. I'm a huge cynic and I never even thought we were full of fucking bigots and idiots.

Boris will bribe us french with massive amounts of chocolate cakes. That's the master plan for negociations. What a genius...

You weren't impressed by using WTO tarrifs to create a world class car industry?
The only positive takeaway form this is the hint May knows Remainers can't be the ones to tell the public the Brexit of their dreams (single market + immigration controls) isn't possible. The reality has to come from the mouths of Leavers for the 52% to be able to accept it without thinking it's a screw job.
