But you wanted Mr Gove as the leader so you have obviously changed your tune old boy.;)

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

Not at all. Mr Gove was not chosen to be PM and I accept that (or do you think I should moan about it and start a petition?;))

I think the Government will be poorer for his absence.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

With your following one suspects you might get quite a few signing your petition old boy.;)

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

yes but backs will be safer :)

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

Actually, the petition was started by a Leaver, when he thought his side was going to lose.... ;)

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

Infamy! Infamy! You seem to have it infamy Den :D.

I'm sure BoJo will have done something similar to his fag at school :blush:.

I think Den will start a petition to get rid of me. He's worried that he's agreeing with me too often ;).

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

Well sorry Mr Gove isn't involved in the Brexit talks but the two chosen are well capable of carrying out the task. In the end, it's up to Ms May to finalise the details. I still think we have a good chance of a50 by September assuming they work during recess.

David Davis said its more likely to be pressed at the end of this year or the beginning of next year.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

That seems unlikely.

Thankfully he won't be involved in any real depth. He's excluded from trade and the actual business of the exit itself.

He's a laughing stock across the Channel; better having someone negotiating who doesn't need to rebuild bridges they've previously burned.

Now it's apparent we aren't going to get stitched up with a U turn on the ref, it's quite correct to wait before article 50 and as we have seen there's wider issues concerning free movement, like the way France keeps being clobbered, we won't need too many more of those and no one will want free movement.

Tragic though last night's events were that's 3 major incidents in 18 months they have had to put up with. We have been lucky as Police have thwarted recent plans to bomb us. However, these new methods mean you could be walking down any street in any town and get a knife in you before you can say boo!

I feel they may have to rethink the freedom of movement. We weren't meant to be one bug happy family, the world is too big for that. Of course, they won't. They might do us all a big favour though and build a big massive wall round the EU. Soon as we leave I vote we blow up our end of the tunnel.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

If attacks continue and other nations are hit I think freedom of movement will be it's first victim and wouldn't that be ironic we vote out and events cause a bit of realism to hit home.

It pains me to say this being a Scot living in NE England but Scotland can still scupper it. Seems like Theresa May wants Scotland on side before a 50 can be invoked. Can't see that happening.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

I don't think they can, we already know that the EU won't entertain them as a sub member of an existing country, we also know that May won't allow them another referendum. It's just noises off. Unless they do a UDI.

Good luck with that, with no currency, no real means of support.

SNP forward planning is a bit like this:

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

If I had to pick who is the more astute political thinker out of Theresa May or Nicola Sturgeon it's not really a choice as Sturgeon is not remotely as clever as she thinks and now she's going to be dealing with a stronger female leader. Much as they might want Scotland cannot prevent brexit the only question for Scotland is does it stay apart of the union or find a way to leave with the horrendous consequences that would have for Scotland.
