Brexit Is Going Well

[Hymie]

It looks like we are going to war with our European neighbours.

Isn’t it strange (some may even say ironic) that to regain sovereignty we had to exercise our parliamentary sovereignty, thereby proving we still had it all along!

War seems a little dramatic wouldn't you say

“ France should tread carefully, they've never won a war against Britain”

Stop taking about war. Leave that to us. You are embarrassing Naomi :-)

[Zacs-Master]

Naomi usually does a great job of embarrassing herself, to be fair.

[ichkeria]

“ War seems a little dramatic wouldn't you say”

Obviously not a war. It’s sad tho that we’ve picked an unnecessary quarrel with our closest neighbours and trading partners. What we had before was far from perfect but was a lot better than the prospect now looming.
Even sillier that we could have left the EU and yet still not heaped this hardship and ridicule on ourselves.

[emmie]

that is what Hymie said not me.

[emmie]

not a war then, i like Khandros response, though i confess to not knowing the last bit

Funny how they can get the gunshots out for French fishermen, but not for the boat loads of refugees who cross the sea.

Aren't any leavers here disappointed in Boris not meeting any of the promises that were on his 'contract?'

[emmie]

Perhaps if the French didn't shunt them out to sea, instead of stopping them before they left their shores we wouldn't have this problem.

[emmie]

these are illegals and once here should be immediately deported, but our hands are still tied, . There are those in UK who only too happy to take on their cause,

Tread very carefully, my friends.

Nothing ironic, Zacs. The only aspect of our sovereignty we could exercise without permission was to leave. Virtually every other aspect of Parliamentary sovereignty that the UK might exercise was subject to scrutiny and possible veto by the Euromaniacs.

I see no reason why the UK should not defend its fishing grounds as it sees fit. No doubt an accommodation might have been reached over them had the EU accepted that they were ours to control. But they didn't. They still behaved as if we were supplicants and that they would decide how much of our own resources we would be allowed to retain. A small part of the price for access to the "Single Market" (aka the European Protection Racket) was to forfeit the right to those resources. No other nation would negotiate a trade deal on that basis.

Much of the blame for that lies squarely on Macron who is trying to stop Brexit by any means.

‘ The only aspect of our sovereignty we could exercise without permission was to leave’

Fairly bit aspect tho, eh!
