Support NeoGAF

snp doing well <3

 

[Steel]

That question almost trapped him, too.

 

[Nordicus]

"Do you agree that Article 50 is the only moral way of exiting EU?"

David Cameron: "Article 50 is the only legal way yes"

whu?

 

[Jezbollah]

That last question on freedom of movement was on point.

And Cameron's response nicely slapped around Boris...

 

[darkwing]

there is no way UK will accept EEA, it's like being played by yourself

 

[AHA-Lambda]

"Do you agree that Article 50 is the only moral way of exiting EU?"

David Cameron: "Article 50 is the only legal way yes"

whu?

Yeah I didn't get that

 

[Jimbob Smalls]

This was mostly obvious, but an extra twist of the knife:

Could be said for every vote for everything ever.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

This is masquerading as planning talks but in reality it's just waffle. Honestly feels like we're not leaving.

 

[Fakeknowledge]

Every time Cameron says "next government", take a drink

The NHS is under enough strain as it is.

 

[Steel]

Yeah I didn't get that

Translation:

"DODGE!!!"

 

[danowat]

there is no way UK will accept EEA, it's like being played by yourself

It will, I can't see any other way out of this mess TBH.

 

[Audioboxer]

Was that Osborne leaving for another line of coke?

 

[D4Danger]

Cameron doesn't give a shit. He's got his flip flops on.

 

[CelticKnight]

Yeah I didn't get that

Political deflection 101.

 

[ferrasvansen]

there is no way UK will accept EEA, it's like being played by yourself

Then we lose single market access and go bust.

 

[platocplx]

Yep. They arent getting any concessions from the EU now lmao

 

[BahamutPT]

Well... you'll have an EC until Article 50, not until you actually leave.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Good, this guy is at least calling out that woman from earlier who said "leave arent racists honest!"

 

[Jezbollah]

Thank fuck for that Racism question.

 

[StayDead]

"The first part of that is that everybody has got to accept the result of the referendum, whether they like it or not," he adds"

No, he can fuck right off. I'm never accepting the result of this referendum and neither should anyone else.

The Remain backers should protest, we shouldn't sit back and let our country destroy itself.

 

[Fergie]

HAHAHA

"We want access to the single market but no free movement and we don't want to pay for it"

It's absolutely incredible really. He'll be surprised when the negotiations start. Hope he's there in the background listening.

Idiot.

 

[SuperSah]

Thank fuck for that Racism question.

Yup, needed that.

 

[WhateverItTakes]

So update me on what parliament are saying. I'm guessing a whole lot of fluff, and saying 'we're definitely leaving' without anything concrete on what that means and what the plan/roadmap is.

 

[Sickboy007]

Cameron is pushing as hard as he can for EEA without saying it outright.

Which is understandable and probably the best possible outcome, but so hilariously sad and misguided at the same time. The UK left the EU to get their "independence" back, and in the best case scenario they'll get legislation and taxation without representation.

 

[MLH]

Someone should ask about the very real likelihood that the EU will not allow us to negotiate without first triggering Article 50, then what do we do? We're in no place to demand anything.

 

[tamaster92]

racism question was good to hear.

 

[PowerTaxi]

there is no way UK will accept EEA, it's like being played by yourself

That already happened.

 

[Roland_Gunner]

Can't wait to see the EU response to the government delaying Article 50.

The markets are a much bigger problem that the EU at this point. You could see the sell off as the news conference went on. A couple of more performances like that and all confidence in British banks will be lost. They'll probably need another bailout.

 

[blazinglord]

That last question on freedom of movement was on point.

And Cameron's response nicely slapped around Boris...

Does the deal currently being negotiated between Canada and the EU also include freedom of movement then? Because I thought that is what Boris is currently proposing.

 

[Acorn]

Every time Cameron says "next government", take a drink

Usually it's "last govt" this is progress for him. He's blaming the future instead of the past.

 

[Arials]

Cameron's personal stance is "acknowledge outcome, ignore planning, defer to successor"

 

[AHA-Lambda]

What confidence in our economy???
And he's already said no 2nd referendum.

Shut the fuck up and sit down hen

 

[Arksy]

Except freedom of movement will remain.

Some leavers would disagree with me here, but I don't really care. My most important reason for leaving is that the EU loses legal paramountcy over British law.

 

[RedSparrows]

Which is understandable and probably the best possible outcome, but so hilariously sad and misguided at the same time. The UK left the EU to get their "independence" back, and in the best case scenario they'll get legislation and taxation without representation.

If it happens, I wonder how many people will suddenly become experts on the EU parliament.

 

[GamingKaiju]

Watching live now and I'm flabbergasted that this is uk democracy in action. You could tell who voted leave by saying the parliament has to up hold the vote 49% didn't ask for this.

I'm so sorry EuroGAF we played ourselves and wrecked our Country.

 

[Ovek]

Was that Osborne leaving for another line of coke?

He does have the pale pasty face of a drug addict.

 

[Monty Mole]

Cameron seemed surprisingly relaxed and diplomatic about the situation. Much more relaxed than I feel.

 

[SilentRacoon]

Every time Cameron says "next government", take a drink

I had drop as quick as the BP did.

 

[Par Score]

Imagine for a second that we were actually going to leave the EU, or that Article 50 was ever going to be triggered. Gove and Johnson would be front and centre in the HoC right now grinning ear to ear.

But they're not. They have bottled it, they know it's completely infeasible, and they're running scared.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Oh god this guy...

 

[Calabi]

I bet the papers will still report and spin it as a win.

 

[Xando]

That's because he's gonna move to spain as soon as there is a new PM

 

[PJV3]

The anti EU nuts are our version of the gun nuts in the states, and we let them fuck the country over virtually nothing.

 

[FlammableD]

Some leavers would disagree with me here, but I don't really care. All I care about is that the EU lost legal paramountcy over British law.

except for the regulations you have to adhere to if you want access to the market...

 

[Meadows]

Let's just take EEA and move the fuck on.

 

[Steel]

Some leavers would disagree with me here, but I don't really care. My most important reason for the leaving is that the EU loses legal paramountcy over British law.

You actually have less control in EEA because you have no say in the EU.

 

[Monty Mole]

Would the UK be allowed to negotiate its own trade deals in this scenario? That's about the only positive I can see coming out of the scenario.

Is Switzerland EEA?

 

[Tyaren]

What are the advantages from being based in London?

There will be no advantages anymore. There will very likely arise disadvantages. If you haven't noticed already, France is already courting for banks to come over to Paris.

And then there are Frankfurt and Dublin who also want to have their piece of the cake. The EU will ruthlessly (but imho rightfully so) grab what it can get out of this.

 

[axisofweevils]

except for the regulations you have to adhere to if you want access to the market...

Yep, you still have to adhere to privacy law, for example.

 

[Chinner]

Then we lose single market access and go bust.

Doesn't matter, the public has said it loud: Get rid of immigrants and stop immigration entirely.

Nothing else matters.
