We don't like to talk about the L party anymore, some doubt it's real.

 

[Polari]

Surely Davis means 'as part of the whole bloc negotiations, this is what we'd give/take with each country, becoz of exports they want to sell us'.

Right?

Right?????

Certainly doesn't seem that way.

My favourite quote about Boris, from Ian Hislop:

Boris Johnson, people always ask me the same question, they say, 'Is Boris a very very clever man pretending to be an idiot?' And I always say, 'No.'

Who is that?

Top (or top 2) British pro wrestler in the world, and nice young lefty boy, Zack Sabre Jr. I think last time he was out of the country, Jo Cox died and we voted Leave...

I'm confused at why people think the UK has moved to "the far right"?

 

[suedester]

Yeah Scotland moves centre left and rest of UK swings far right, no chance we will stomach much more of this now before breaking point is reached.

You need to google far right as you clearly don't understand what that implies.

Let's give them a chance before we doom them all to failure.

She's been in post for less than 4 hours.

If she can do this much damage in 4 hours, I don't want to see what she can do in a year, let alone 2.

Funny did just that and one of the first things I saw opposition to mass immigration....

 

[killer_clank]

leaving the EU and massively restricting immigration is pretty much my idea of the far right, which is what the govt want to do.

Yep and every day of tory hard right government will increase tension.

Okay, I take back my theory. Boris is an idiot and May is a Manchurian candidate.

I'm not sure your description of "far right" is very accurate though.

Look at that cabinet, it's not far right but it's clearly hard right. Everyone of them pretty much is on the right side of the Conservatives.

Would you say Australia are far right? They restrict immigration. What about pretty much every country outside of the EU? Even countries within the EU restrict mass immigration to people from outside of it. I don't think wanting to control the numbers of people entering the country is a great way to define a country as moving to the far right.

I'm still trying to come to terms with reality.

True it's getting closer and seeing signs painted on doors and windows, and postcards sent to people with stuff like go home foreigners, hardly eases my fears about England's political heading.

Anyone got reactions from Scottland yet? Really want to know how Sturgeon and the SNP/Scottish Parliament will react.

 

[phisheep]

I hope David Davis gets what he thinks is Possible. Free trade agreements with about 10 countries before we leave and full access to the EU free trade area.


http://www.conservativehome.com/platform/2016/07/david-davis-trade-deals-tax-cuts-and-taking-time-before-triggering-article-50-a-brexit-economic-strategy-for-britain.html

The bolded would be illegal under EU law, which we have to abide by until we have left.

And to make it clear, it's illegal to enter negotiations with other countries, let alone actually make free trade agreements.

We've discussed this a few times, and I'm gradually coming to the conclusion we don't need to be too worried about it, as these prohibitions were put in place not anticipating that a country would seek to leave the EU. I suspect that we'll get something of a free pass on early negotiations.

So the huge increase in racism towards foreign people in England, isn't a sign that something is wrong, sure seems that way to me, but that's just my opinion, sure it's just a minority, but a definite growing one.

He still thinks he's going to get them done within a year or two, he's crazily optimistic with everything else going on.

Still I'm not an expert like Mr Davis.

was pretty much verbatim BNP policy if i remember correctly. the new PM doesn't even rule out deporting existing EU citizens for god's sake.

Again confirming what I'm thinking. May's put Boris in a high end job and if he delivers, she gets lauded for a masterstroke. If he fucks up, she gets to write him off as a mistake and pin most, if not all the blame on him. Win-Win for her.

EDIT: Actually, now that I think of it, it'd be a great time for Spitting Image to make a return. It's definetly help with all the gallows humour in the UK right now.

 

[killer_clank]

the scottish government will maintain good faith about attempts to keep scotland in the EU and the UK despite knowing it's impossible and then once this fails start talking about a 2nd indyref.

Every country has a small racist element. It's a problem that needs to be dealt with obviously. The government in no way reflects that though.

 

[Deleted member 231381]

the government isn't far right. It's certainly hard right. David Davis is the Corbyn of the Conservative Party, for example.

It's definitely a ploy to scupper Boris. He still has a lot of popularity within the party, and is the biggest threat to Theresa May. She doesn't want him to have any ground to regroup and gain momentum to one day unseat her.

As they say, keep your friends close...

 

[Jezbollah]

was pretty much verbatim BNP policy if i remember correctly. the new PM doesn't even rule out deporting existing EU citizens for god's sake.

And why would she? that would be bad negotiation. I recall she saying that the security and status of all EU citizens in this country would be assured once the status of British citizens in EU states are assured too.

Yeah was thinking more of the English population, where some are clearly moving far right in general, than the government, though I'm sure there are some nutters in the Tory party similar to comrade Corbyn.

 

[killer_clank]

because it's utterly disgusting to imply that people who chose to come here could be thrown out because of a decision they weren't even allowed to vote in. their position should be safe irrespective of them being used as bargaining chips.

Boris for Foreign Secretary is legitimately peak shambles.
