The Chancellors comments this week effectively mean the end of brexit in my opinion although it may continue as a flag-waving exercise.

He even went so far as to say a future trade agreement would be identical to what we have now.

He holds the purse strings but more important he has the ongoing responsiblity for the economy unlike Davis and Fox whose departments close after brexit and Johnston and May who used brexit for their own career ends.

For them if it all goes wrong they walk away but not for whoever is in charge of the economy.

The government is in office but the treasury is in power - Harold Wilson.

yes there are a handful here who trap birds and if you knew what I did here I'm a vociferous anti-hunting/trapping supporter but we can all post links pointing fingers, so here's a couple for you from both leftie and rightie winged papers, a nice balance for you:

Hunting laws broken 200,000 times since ban came into force as Boxing day hunts held:

and more of what I was really talking about:

Britain's binge drinking levels are among the highest in the world

So, now back to my tax free yacht, don't want to let the Grande Cru bubbly go to waste.

Enjoy your Domino's tonight, don't forget to use the £1 discount voucher you received from Poundland today

No mention of the those British who want to travel/work in the EU after 2019 at all. The same restrictions will also apply to them of cours, registration, skills check, filling the position from the EU first etc.

Oh no! You mean operating an immigration system where individuals offer valuable skills and services a nation might have a need for, in exchange for the right to enter the country? Like a meritocratic system? Savage, right?

'If you knew what I did here' - we can have a guess - moan about life and then try and measure the chip on your shoulder.

Aww. Aren't you quite the little snob? You've used this line before. Here's a newsflash: living in Malta does not make you edgy, special, smart, different, and most certainly in your case, it does not make you superior.

I could move to Malta tomorrow. Any Brit could. I wouldn't be willing to take the paycut, nor live in a comparative backwater. It's cool you want to though. Well done you. While you're waiting for the chance to even order Domino's...

...be sure to wash your Chicken.

Bucket of bleach might do it. But don't eat too much.

You know? I'm not even interested in slagging off Malta. Aside from the tax-haven side of things, the selling of passports and the remoteness, it's a nice place (for a couple of weeks), if a little too EU cuckold.

I'd also make no value judgement on the country itself by virtue of the odious cvnts that might happen to live there.

You seek to divide and conquer by disparaging and talking down the UK, most likely in a bid to provoke and draw the ire of posters here. It no doubt affords you some semblance of moral superiority to hear those angry retorts, nicely fueling your confirmation bias that we're all rabid racist isolationist xenophobes.

You're dead wrong.

His type?

I thought the second world war was a fight against extreme right wing ideologies and Nazi cunds.

Yet you say those who fought weren't doing it for the 'type' who oppose those with right wing ideologies.

Tis a strange world we live in.

Most people weren't fighting against ideologies, a small minority would have...Benn for example. But on the whole that generation would reject most of the beliefs you have for example. Many people from your party refer to their generation as racists and bigots.

No, I remember my grandad and my uncle, most fought out of a combination of national and family duty and expectation. It was the culture of the times. That's why most of them would view the types like your mate with contempt.

My late father fought Japanese fascism in Burma and once or twice said perhaps he shouldn't have bothered. He was also kept on for a while to police independence demos in India - he disliked that work intensely.

I am not too worried about going to EU countries if brexit happens as I will be going 'Dutch'.
