Absolute rubbish.

The only additional checking at ports will be if the EU so demands it on entry to the EU. Calais have said they are already ready for this. Aircraft movements would not cease - this myth was put to bed months ago. It is the EU that would have a huge gulf in its security as they would no longer have access to our 5 eyes intelligence. Our security is comparatively easy - we are an island! We already have trade agreements with non-EU countries; these would be rolled over (as Liam Fox is currently doing) or negated by tariff free WTO terms.

Of course they will be an impact - otherwise why bother leaving at all. But I believe that it's a positive impact in the long term


That's what I thought, though had no evidence to confirm. Surely most manifest's are done electronically anyway and it will be straight forward case of tariff free or subject to import duty.
Anyway it may all be academic as the smart money is on staying in.

So are we just going to let goods through at our ports?

I actually know people going on that, because parliament is going to look out of their windows and say "hey! There's a march! They're not happy about it, ok, stop brexit, it's obviously an overwhelming mandatory", although the ones I know are only going cos they're going on afterwards. Making a day of it.

It's not been cancelled so you don't know what will happen if it is. I know you have a wet dream every night that it has been, but let's just wait and see. No point in a riot about something that hasn't happened yet. Eh?

Don't get your hopes up, I don't think it's gonna fly, parliament won't let it happen, too many goons fighting for their own glory and forgetting they are there to carry out the wish of the electorate. Strangely, it would have been better for brexit if old corduroy had been in charge. Strange ole world.

The adverts for the Mayfair-to-Westminster march this weekend are interesting. I mean, they aren't, but there's over a million four-page colour cover wraps on the Metro today, which can't be cheap (cheaper than 40 million pamphlets, probably), and full-sized adverts on Tube platforms despite TfL's rules about political adverts. I do hope People's Vote are adhering to spending regulations...

That's what tariff free means.

There would be no more requirement to check than exists at present

Just to be clear, I am (and voted) pro-Brexit but I have never been rabid

Five gets you ten she revokes A50. It's her only way out, it'll end her political career but she's got no choice now. Hope to god she can't get this awful deal through, shackled to a rotting corpse is not a happy prospect thank you very much.

It’s clear we’ve got a bit of breathing space but if no deal looks likely we will pull out of our planned house move and I guarantee the supermarkets will be empty and given the time of year, and our reliance on imports they won’t be easily restocked. There will be panic. There will be an immediate effect. However, I do think the breathing space gives us time for another plan and no deal looks less likely. I hope.

Have you seen 2.5m signatures now on revoke A50. After one day.

So then, given the Government can withdraw it's request to leave, what other options are there apart from:

- exit with no deal. (Trade under World Trade Arrangements)
Or
- accept the 'deal' the EU have agreed stating further negotiation isn't acceptable.


No matter what Messrs Cable or Benn or the turncoat brigade might imagine, no other solution is even conceivable. Like it or not, the EU negotiators have played an absolute blinder.

I wouldn't say they had. It was like taking candy from a baby. No minerals in these UK politicians. I expect the VAST majority of MPs will either get deselected or voted out at the next GE.

The problem is the backstop. There are only three solutions to a hard border - remain, customs union or (ultimately) a United Ireland. No deal doesn’t solve the backstop. If you accept BJ’s assertion that it’s just like going from Camden to Islington then the backstop is a red herring however, but it obviously isn’t.

The 'Irish border' point is a sub issue. If Northern Ireland and Southern Ireland believe that they don't want a formal customs border, then again, there is a simple choice for the Northern province - join politically with Southern Ireland. Scotland as a 'province' voted to remain in the referendum, but has to accept the will of the majority in the other provinces of the UK.

However if the UK Government for whatever reason believes having a hard border is a showstopper, then they will not choose to leave without the deal. Nonetheless, that sub decision hasn't yet been taken.

Frankly, like many others, I can't see what's wrong with a formal border - Switzerland manages pretty well.
