I..what..even.
I think Raven and I have found a loose part of scouses brain.
I respond with sarcasm to Ravens and the facepalmer accuses me of not spotting satire.

1938 England team does Nazi salute in front of Hitler.

Oooh, da feels.

 

[Raven]

It's only a nazi salute if you put your finger on your top lip.

Nope. You don't read links properly. It's not the first time you failed to spot the daily mash.

I'm surprised that you are surprised by this @Scouse

 

[Job]

I read that mash post about 4 hours before Raven posted it.

I had to google who Pete North is and why anyone should care what he dribbled into twitter.

Canadian porn actor, apparently.

As someone who surely knows when and how to to make a good shot of monetary exit I think we should listen to his advice.

They'll fail miserably and then turn around and say "oh well, we tried. Those awful EU folks just weren't having any of it"

Still fluff...we are in the walking out of the showroom , getting back in the car stage.

Of course they will. "Blame the EU" has been the plan from the getgo, and people will fall for it, because of course they will.

So have UK given up or what? Swedish news reports that UK will try to join NAFTA instead...

That would be the NAFTA that Trump is busy trying to destroy?

I guess?

Only.the Denmark minister sems to have the balls to come out with the obvious, the simple plain fact that trumps all this ludicrous pantomime.
The UK and the EU have to trade as before or everyone loses out,.theyll have to offer us the same deals, nothing else will work, this is just a farce.
We are too embedded financially to make it in anyones interest to start imposing fines for leaving, which ...and this is the dilemma, makes their little award card ponzi scheme look a bit daft.

 

[Ctuchik]

The UK and the EU have to trade as before or everyone loses out,.

Yes but who's got more to lose? UK "experts" say EU and EU "experts" say UK and everybody else can't make up their damned mind.

But at the end of the day it won't matter, EU can't let UK off easy. There just isn't a choice in the matter if EU want to survive (and in extension the Euro)...

 

[Raven]

Truthfully, both lose out. Any retarded tariffs will be reciprocal, German companies will be pissed off that selling into the UK is expensive. The UK is a massive market for them, more so than all the pisspot countries in the EU (with the exception of the other big 4, France, Netherlands, er, Spain...er, Italy?)

The funny thing is, we import more from Germany than we export to Germany

 

[Scouse]

It's how the EU was designed. It'd be retarded to leave.

On purpose.

It’s not a fine for leaving. Without any agreement we cannot legally trade in many ways we do now. It would simply be against EU law and WTO rules. These things need to be sorted. If they aren’t everyone loses but it’s legally set in stone not a matter of choice on either side. This is such a common misapprehension.

 

[Job]

The EU simply cannot pursue this policy against an economy as big as the UKs, they know it, we know it, and it is being played out by big money behind the scenes, we will never really leave, the tarriffs will never really be implemented, or at least offset in other ways.
Big business will never let the wishes off the people get in the way of profits.

The concern here is that back in 2000 when they got in power, the EU imposed sanctions on Austria.
Yes..you read that correctly, sanctions against a democratically elected party because the EU didnt like their politics.

Austrian far-right FPO poised to enter government

The sanctions were bssed on violations of common European norms...which is a fucking frightening catch all diktat.

Hard Brexit would allegedly cost the UK £400bn by 2030.... would have been better off just fucking staying in the EU. It's starting to take the piss now, especially with the hopeless twat that is Theresa May at the helm.

Seriously..go fuck your self EU.
We tried to tell them but they wont listen...be we cant get involved anyway because it would make it worse.

Here we go again. What do you expect the EU to do? If you read what he said, "we gave them advice, they chose to ignore it". The EU can give advice, but it can't tell countries what to do in relation to internal matters. He is completely correct that if the EU took a direct hand (and there are very few mechanisms to do that), it would undoubtedly make things worse. Other than an offer of mediation, the EU simply can't take a side.
