Whatever happened to sovereignty and freedom from Brussels rule-taking? Would a brexiteer just like to run those arguments through again? After all it has been a matter of life and death to them for 4 years? Jettisoned by Johnson for his day in the sun, in a matter of hours. Thank you brexiteers for our increased 'control' and 'sovereignty' which you have actually conceded to the EU. Detail was never your thing, was it? I mean it wasn't written on the side of a bus in huge lettering.
Weird isn't it we have reached a mutual accomodation with our EU neighbours that most Brexiteers are happy or at least not unhappy with. The Remoaners as opposed to Remainers are aghast that they thing they predicted would never happen has. We didn't get everything we wanted neither did the other side but I predict there will be further deals in the coming years.

The single market was actually Thatcher's great achievement she saw at once the country's access to a huge market and it has brought the UK prosperity. That is why Johnson was so desperate to get his deal. It won't be anything like it is now, with tariffs (it is not tariff-free as stated) and regulation the UK will be gradually strangled and lose it's competitiveness. Financial services, not trade, provide 80% of the UK's income, there is nothing for the UK in this deal at all, in fact the access to the EU is restricted. All pain for no gain. Pointless trying to explain it to you Steeleye.

So you were unable to run the questions over sovereignty and Brussels rule-taking again. How surprising after 4 years of them bring the only things that matter in life. So you are moving on to 'defunding the BBC'. Good news, with you doing it, they will be coining it in.

I haven't see the treaty yet. Next week when Parliament meets no doubt there will be some objections let's see what comes out of the ERG review.

Boris Johnson admits Brexit deal falls short for financial services. Well nothing to worry about, financial services only account for 80% of our income.

What you have to understand, and I am more than willing to confess that I never really comprehended it until we saw the aftermath from the 2016 referendum, that almost all of these Remoaners actually see themselves as much as Europeans as they do British. And this goes beyond the usual bulls*** where people wear Guiness hats on Saint Paddys day or get married in kilts because they had a Sweaty Great Grandmother. It is (or rather was) actually a significant part of how they identify themselves. How they separate themselves from the common herd. Now there has always been a tendency amongst sections of our class-ridden system to sneer at their fellow countrymen with the Left especially prone to this (Orwell wrote some fantastic stuff exploring this phenomena) so getting those stupid maroon passports was them a really big deal for them. Never in a million years did they think the Great Unwashed would actually deny them it and their spite ever since has been quite staggering. Really bitter stuff. Wishing death and destruction of wealth on millions. Actually arguing that since a load of old people had died, then it meant the result from 2016 could now be ignored. I accept that I am boring about it and perhaps now is the time to try and shake myself free of the utter, visceral, loathing that I feel towards Remoaners, but the disgusting attempt to usurp perhaps the single biggest democratic exercise in British history is one that I hope history looks back on and condemns with absolute clarity. These people genuinely believe their votes should count for more than other people. The definition of arrogance. With their language and actions ever since for me border into what they like to champion the most for everybody else in terms of hate speech. Many of them literally cheered on the death of people who voted Leave. Terrible people who should be hanging their heads with utter shame.

A tad generalistic I feel! If I am wrong, I will also be the first to hold my hands up and say I was wrong. Does the reverse apply? There is no reverse for me. I voted leave to escape the super state which will be an inevitable consequence of centralisation of political power and law making that the EU crave. The rest is just details.

I have zero problem with anybody who promoted or voted for Remain in 2016. A perfectly valid and honourable position to have taken. ALL of my ire is aimed at those who then sort to have that decision reversed or ignored. Those are the people I loathe.

Well said, I can add that i renewed my passport recently and ditched my gb one for an Irish full access Eu one, I am a citizen of the world and might fancy living somewhere else{within Europe anyway with my Irish passport}.

Few voted for Brexit on economic terms. What is 'to prosper' to you is different for others. Obviously if those who voted for Brexit discover down the line that remaining in the EU would have been better for their worldview then I have little doubt they would admit it.
