Of course not! The dangers would have been apparent to everyone in any case.

I think people give too much of a pass to the Government on Brexit matters because they confuse criticising how the Government is managing Brexit with criticising the decision itself personally. It's crazy to me the lack of preparation being undertaken for something that is just over a year away.

Absolutely criminally inept when you think its one of the most important events happening in this country for at least 70 years.

So now it’s truly the EU’s intention to create a Federal Europe, AKA, U.S.E : Martin Schulz Tweeted this intention to be carried out by 2025, any member state refusing this will automatically leave the EU. Guy Verhofstadt, Tweeted in agreement.

What a bunch of corrupted pricks. Thank goodness we are leaving.

Deal agreed.

No border between North and South, East or West. So are we in the customs union? No detail yet but Junker seems happy so looks like stage 2 is here.

The UK will maintain full alignment with those rules of the Internal Market and the Customs Union which, now or in the future, support North-South cooperation, the all island economy and the protection of the 1998 Agreement.
So we’re in the Customs Union for anything that trades with Ireland?

The ECJ gets 8 years after leaving in which it still has oversight of EU citizens rights. More than what the government wanted but less than the 10 years we thought the EU would get.

Here is the relevant section of the agreement:

Quote:

The United Kingdom remains committed to protecting North-South cooperation and to its guarantee of avoiding a hard border. Any future arrangements must be compatible with these overarching requirements. The United Kingdom's intention is to achieve these objectives through the overall EU-UK relationship. Should this not be possible, the United Kingdom will propose specific solutions to address the unique circumstances of the island of Ireland. In the absence of agreed solutions, the United Kingdom will maintain full alignment with those rules of the Internal Market and the Customs Union which, now or in the future, support North-South cooperation, the allisland economy and the protection of the 1998 Agreement.

Seems a bit of a fudge but ultimately the government will not do anything that requires customs checks?

Pretty much a soft Brexit for the whole of the UK. Mirroring EU standards and regulations into perpetuity but not shaping those standards as we do now. So this is what taking back control looks like, lol.

Re: Brexit discussion
 
It’s only agreed once the whole deal is. Although it now looks like either no deal or a more involved deal than just a trade one.

It’s a German politician’s view, swiftly dismissed by Merkel.

But Mrs Merkel lost no time in rejecting Mr Schulz’s proposals for a federal Europe, ruling them out before delegates had even finished voting.

Re: Brexit discussion
 
Actually the deal text says if we don’t agree a deal we’ll maintain regulation with the EU? Overall pretty happy with the agreement.

There is a awful long way to go yet as this is 'Just the end of the beginning'
