Did you not see May saying the EU had told her negotiation time is up. She seemed quite shaken up by the blunt way in which she was told this.

If our elected representatives are not capable of getting a temporary Withdrawal Agreement though, then perhaps the same people shouldn't be tasked with negotiating what comes after. They have got a WA proposal through, if it is going to be rejected because it doesn't meet the fantasy Brexit sold to the people that's not really their problem.

Confusion of VIs Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 4 hours ago, wish I could afford one said: Interesting comment German politician Hans-Olaf Henkel - "So I think what they could specifically do is now offer Britain a new deal. That deal has to be more autonomy for controlling British immigration." Maybe a vote on WA or Remain with a bit of cake... FoM migration is a non issue, it was peaking at the time of the referendum and the only way after that is down, It is already down to a level that is causing firms to have to focus their foreign recruitment efforts outside the EU.

No real criticism - I work for the Irish government, almost half of my income is from them. Part of the point of being in the EU is that you get the support of the wider EU when you have a dispute with third countries. Membership is a force multiplier, as we are now finding out.

Mid term Presidents/Prime-ministers generally get very poor ratings...whats the answer, to keep having vote after vote? We had the referendum and got a result therefore we should get on with delivering the result. The only vote to have is how we leave. Being on the losing side of a democratic election is one thing, being on the winning side and not seeing the result delivered is something else. The Brexiteers promised something they couldn't deliver, being fooled into voting for something undeliverable is something you should suck up and learn from, not lead the country down a destructive path..

Because we took a sovereign decision and decided we didn't want to, instead preferring to sign better treaties as part of the much more powerful EU. What so hard to understand about that?

notnow Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 A full understanding of the content of all the treaties we signed up to, (some good and some bad), should have been a pre requisite of having your vote counted in the referendum. Fancy taking early retirement after your windfall/inheritance/lottery win to live in France/Spain after end of March? Good luck with that. What a sad inward looking little irrelevance UK has become.

IMHAL Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 (edited) Gove offered Brexit job.......refuses and considering quitting.... Another Brexity rat deserts the sinking Brexit ship. One thing that seems to characterise these Brexiteers....they consider themselves victims and never take responsibility...always content to be one of the hard done by set.......pathetic.....#Bremoaners Don't they fill you with a sense of pride.............the only thing they are prepared to 'take back control of' is their pay check.

Not necessarily, I think it means retiring before you can draw your state pension. So it mostly applies to the middle aged, or older, although some people retire in their 20s. I retired eight years before I was eligible for my state pension so you could call that early retirement, although I had intended to retire earlier but lacked the wherewithal.
