It is certainly, and you would have expected the UK to know that and have everything in place. But you would be wrong..........

Quite so. Presumably you choose your Doctor, Dentist, Financial Advisor and Solicitor based upon 'the cut of their jib'. I do little else.

Another Suez debacle. The first totally our fault finally killed of the empire. The second totally our fault killed off any pretence that we are an important power. The cabinet, parliament, all the frenzy of Whitehall, anything about Brexit, simply are not of any interest to anyone that matters in the World. Who would have thought leaving the EU would make the UK a vassal state. I would, but then I thought about it, leavers never think of anything at all. In both wars about 40 percent of our forces came from what is now called the commonwealth but was then called the empire or something like that......they were volunteers or already paid troops.....just to counter the narrative that the British empire was always regarded as evil by those within it. I think it was the Suez Crisis that marked the end....though losing India was obviously major. It was the right thing to do of course if handled badly.

Well the useless cabinet put party before country and have backed the Maybot. I have written to both my MP and the PM not that it will do any good. I will now have to rely on a coalition of the dammed to stop this getting through parliament. She will regret it though as the voters have long memories when it comes to elections. Update Michael Barnier has just give his reaction to the deal Edited by Badger11 (14 Nov 2018 8.10pm) these are the people you prefer over the EU

Depending on how Labour vote (and they can scent blood now), May is toast.

Mogg is in revolt. What are his solutions then? Reading through some of the details this deal seems as sensible as it was going to get in a lot of areas.
