Re: Brexit discussion
It looks like the Dutch are now preparing for a hard Brexit by recruiting more customs officers - https://news.sky.com/story/dutch-act...he-uk-11258568
In other news, 11 months after invoking Article 50, the Prime Minister is hosting a summit to thrash out the UK Brexit negotiating position - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...it-summit.html
Note, I do not endorse the Daily Mail, I thinks it’s an awful paper but I thought it might be more palatable than other news sources

Re: Brexit discussion
JC is now putting pressure on the Government with his statement that the UK must have a customs union with the EU. He's playing Brexit quite shrewdly, following the public mood as it moves away from Brexit but not alienating the many leavers in his party and beyond.

What if the majority of us want to live in a mad max dystopian wasteland, why won't that man respect the will of the people. Let me guess brexit won't cause this future outcome but electing Corbyn will, let me paint a picture neither outcome will make that much difference to the vast majority of us, we'll just plod along as before brexit or before Jez or before Trump or before who or what ever.

I think DD was throwing a bone to the Brextremists before telling them that regulatory alignment will pretty much continue as the world operates to increasingly global standards.

We triggered article 50 and chose the date. No point in begging for a reprieve now.

In other news, rumours abound that Unilever will consoilidate its HQ in the Netherlands, attributed to Brexit uncertainty but let's see what the company says first.

I would be flexible on freedom of movement during that period, although some may not be happy with that.

Re: Brexit discussion
Definitely some ‘can kicking’ there... Tow possible reasons spring to mind - the first is that would we won’t have a deal by the end of 2020 despite Liam Fox saying this one be one of the ‘easiest in human history’.
The second reason is that we have a general election in 2022. If things go pear shaped or look bad at the end of 2020, it will be some tough spinning to make the government look good in the following year or so.
Personally, I think it’s a bit from column a and a bit from column b

Indeed, another toy/pram moment. Easily ignored.
