Are you suggesting that we have soft and hard non-Brexit threads?
Can't Brexit start soft and then get harder and harder until separation?

David Davies has resigned as the UK's Secretary of State for Brexit
and Dominic Raab has been appointed as his replacement.
His resume identifies that he is a lawyer, and certainly one is desperately needed; to read the EU's voluminous legal drafting
I actually think it'll be good for the English psyche, in the long term, to rid themselves of post-Imperial delusions of grandeur. But that might be better in the new thread.Thanks for that.As someone who looks forward to the end of English dominion over non-English parts of the British Isles, things seem to be progressing well.
It'll probably be far more coherent than whatever (the remains of) the British government can do by then.I am not giving this government much of a future either, but who exactly is supposed to negotiate with the EU in the meantime? Are they just going to let the EU write the deal themselves and present it signature-ready to the new government?
It's going to result in that, but not as a result of any careful planning; rather, it will be a result of the lack of it.uppi said:Conspiracy theory: Is this all the setup for the post-modern, British version of the Dolchstoßlegende? "Brexit was going fine and Britain was on its way to a superpower again when (insert name of new government here) stabbed the valiant Brexiteers in the back by signing the shameful and disastrous treaty that became the Brexit agreement."
I'm thinking now is as good a time as any to make a third iteration of this thread, btw: May seems to have decided on a position, two of the biggest brexiteers are out, and while May claims there might be no deal now, I don't think she means it.
I can't imagine anyone else has enough support to do better, so I'm sure she'll keep her job.Let's see if she can last out the week first (actually quite likely), otherwise July really might be the end of May. We should have an interesting choice of thread title for the next contender anyway. I was going to suggest the last poster on page 120, but that happens to be me, so how about page 125?
didn't he have them in skool?Pffft. Since when did BOJO have "principles"?
Though it is funnier seeing some of his sycophants trying to portray it as a "principles" resignation. Pffft. Since when did BOJO have "principles"?
Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson is of noble birth even if not of noble behaviour, so watch your tongue, commoner.
We like our bumbling fools to have vaguely blue blood, don't you know?
He is not really blue blood in the traditional sense of the word, his parents were not aristocrats and he was a scholarship boy at eton. From his wiki he is descended from royalty, but out of wedlock.We like our bumbling fools to have vaguely blue blood, don't you know?
