The Brexit Consequences Thread

The fury of the article below (and the comments) is a joy to behold:

Britain's refusal to give the EU's ambassador full diplomatic status is a childish insult | Denis MacShane

This petulant slight echoes a move by the Trump administration – one that it quickly saw fit to reverse, says former Europe minister Denis MacShane

How dare the UK not accept the EU as a nation state!

And the United Nations security council

The Vienna Convention is unequivocal, where diplomatic protections are afforded to representatives of sovereign states.

One minute the EU are complaining about the UK breaching international law (when it wasn't breached), and the next they're soliciting a clear breach of a Convention. Moreover, it's the Convention that deals with the interpretation of other Conventions.

**** them off at the high port, and quote their hypocrisy back at them.

I get a strong whiff of Bay City Rollers about our skid.....

Interesting, I had him pinned as a member of the Glitter band.

 

[LeoRoverman]

I saw that, in the eye. Bloody brilliant. Had a quiet chuckle.

Nope , shepperton studios bar ( which they owned) , the summer they were recording the quadraphenia double album. Nice blokes even when Merry in booze , and kind to a teenager they just met.
( the year you were probably still going to crap village halls to dance to awful “ show bands”).

Such a fan you couldn’t even spell Daltreys Christian name properly,

Pete worked him out years ago: “Keith was a genius. John was a genius. I was certainly on the verge of it. And Roger sang.”

Have they cleared that rolled Audi your mate thought responsible for the ‘teething problems’ yet?

Asking for a friend.

It looks like a win for U.K. retailers.

Is the item you bought for e100 a month ago, now e80 plus Vat payable over here, or are they taking the mickey by sticking 20% on for badness ?

You mean the CEO of Wincantons? I expect that in haulage and distribution terms he might know a thing or two.

Unlike some

Where are you?

South east of the Netherlands.

This is our first corona curfew night so nobody should be on the streets after 9pm. Works for me as at around 2am a group of us will be waiting in a field for the sound of a lone twotter flying over at which point we'll light up the landing strip. This is a new sort of SOE or the sausage operations exec activated after an appeal from Boris to set Europe sizzling. They'll be flying in finest full English breakfast goodies and ham sandwiches. The sandwiches will be distributed to various UK truckers at truck stops around the country. The twotter will be returning with a load of bratties, senf and yellow handbags. Who knows, in a few years there may be a new collection of photos on a wall in Knightsbridge, although the operators will probably look a lot older and not quite so fit as those of eighty years ago.

Still stands that I was there and you were probably dreaming of fingering pudding faced lumps at shite village hall hops accompanied by crap showbands, and we’re not!!.

Everything's fine.....good advice I'd say. Business opportunity for someone, running all of those shell companies.

Isn’t that fairly standard for companies that do a lot of exporting etc?

Does that mean that continental businesses will be setting up shop in the U.K.?

Remember, we import more from the EU, than the EU imports from the U.K.

The UKs a very desirable market though. The U.K. for example is BMWs third largest global market.

Remind me again where French restaurants are going to source their fish from?

And yet he's known worldwide, worth millions and has lived a life you could only dream about. And you are, err, skid 2 some faceless no Mark internet warrior.

So in attacking Brexiteers, you bring up a comment from a rock star as a prime example as Brexit hypocrisy? Is that all you've got?

His trout are more intelligent than you.

It wasn't in the single market and some naughty peeps promised the same access.

You reckon BMW might already have a UK registered company sparky?

If I'd known all this bollox before I voted to Leave the EU, I'd still have voted to leave the EU.

BMW may sell more cars elsewhere but they make more profit in the UK than anywhere else.

Who promised access to the single market without having to fill in forms etc?
