Thracian Posted 21 July 2016 Share Posted 21 July 2016 Agree with that completely. There are things which won't take five minutes to sort and there needs to be a whole stack of discussion to formulate the most sensible way forward for all concerned while hopefully maintaining long standing friendships and alliances in what is a decidedly troubled world right now. Having people with different political agendas trying to rush or delay matters for their ends rather than the country's best interests makes me sick. May said clearly "Brexit is Brexit" but just as she refuses to give precise answers about immigration (instead of making a hollow promise he knew he'd never keep, like Cameron) so there's no sense in second guessing the timetable for putting the referendum choice into reality. Seems to me that the groundwork is being conducted as fast as reasonably possible. At least I hope so because there's so much more to be done on top...and quickly.

Guest MattP Posted 21 July 2016 Share Posted 21 July 2016 Brexit means Brexit was good enough for me and put it this way, if she doesn't implement it, the Conservative party will never see power again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finnegan Posted 21 July 2016 Share Posted 21 July 2016 She'll follow through. She's an interim Prime Minister who will want the job properly next general election, she's hardly going to shaft herself on the biggest issue she has to deal with.

I don't see how ignoring 52% of the electorate could be described as seeing sense though. Seeing sense seems to be realising that the country isn't ready to "push the button" and needs some time to get some good negotiators. If that's 2 years what's the hurry? You've been part of the EU for most of your life and all your adult life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we'll be out in 2019, we can negotiate some things after we've left if necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you prefer to wait a year or 2 and get a better deal or rush ahead and get a worse deal or no deal at all? However I agree with you, I think WE'll be out early in 2019 but without a full raft of deals in place and running around after our arses to set them. Thankfully I'm sure that a deal concerning ex-pats will be in place by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brexit hasn't even started to be enacted yet, we aren't even likely to trigger article 50 for some time and the article you posted (some sort of Brexit head in the sand moment apparantly, despite it all occuring whilst we were full and willing EU members) showed absolutely nothing to do with it.

Yes and if you read the link you'll see why, we were being told we could have camps in Dover in the event of a leave vote, we can now see that isn't going to happen as the dual border check agreement is being retained. You posted a story based on a report done on illegal immigrants in 2015 and implied it was made worse because of a vote than happened in the middle of 2016. It might be best if you go back to just posting links about Brexiteers hurting people or just calling everyone racist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't know what the government will do, what we certainly will be able to do now is control our borders how we see fit though, if we want to check lorries on the way in, we can do. Causing untold damage? What a silly exaggerration, although weird to see you now being so obsessed with economies after telling us it should be low priority last May.

Causing untold damage? What a silly exaggerration, although weird to see you now being so obsessed with economies after telling us it should be low priority last May. As you say we have no idea what will happen. Shamefully neither does our Government who don't appear to have made any plans for a brexit vote. Meanwhile the economy is in danger of going into recession, the government is talking bout fiscal policy changes which mean probably yet more borrowing. Immigration from non EU countries was as high as ever and we could control that and did not. I don't see why that would change. As for EU immigration this will depend upon the deal struck. If the price for free access to the EU market is freedom of movement then that is the price which will be paid. The current security based queues at Dover are an indication of the way forward if strict border controls are re-instated and add to that the cost of the bureaucracy in dealing with a points based immigration system will be substantial. Is this really the way we want to go? Meanwhile our Government dithers on invoking clause 50. This is not fair on the citizens of the EU and business who need to know where we are going.

If I understand correctly it's extra security checks on the French side due to fears about terrorism. Don't think there's any brexit connection.
