Trust me when I say that she’s taking the full measure of the consequences of her vote atm. Poetic justice, tbh.

As is the consultant surgeon on Channel Four News the other evening, who has a German wife and in a moment of madness admitted to her that he had voted leave. The betrayal she felt was so deep that their marriage is now over.

 

He said that voting leave was the biggest mistake of his life.

Did he vote to do this? Priti Patel demanding to know why we don't threaten to cut off the food supply to Ireland to get a better deal!

Sadly, that surgeon’s story is not an isolated personal development, TopCatsHat.

 

Brexit, as a societal theme, has broken families the length and breadth of the country, just like the Miners’ strike did in SY all those decades ago. And is far from being done with it yet.

Yes because that would really get the EU to change its fundamental rules on the customs union and single market! 

 

Would that be the Priti Patel who had to resign as International Development Minister after she was caught having secret, private meetings with the Israeli government?

Yes seriously. There is quite a lot of talk about what could happen if the EU allow any member to trigger A50 then re-negotiate their membership and have the power to then revoke A50 because it is legal to do so. That may or may not happen but dont bank on the recent bit of news from Manuel Campos Sánchez-Bordona, that the UK can cancel its article 50 notice unilaterally as that judgement has yet to been confirmed by the full court. Although having said that the court should not take the above into account and just judge it on how they see the law.

That is just clutching at straws.

 

If we wanted to revoke A50 it would happen. Nobody is going to let the cliff edge scenario happen.

 

You need to be honest about the alternative that you seem to be advocating - cliff edge no deal

A large number of Tory ministers and ex-ministers are as crooked as hell. Blatantly corrupt.

Has she been reading Karen Bradley's Irish History for Beginners book?

 

The Irish population has still not recovered to pre-famine levels in over 150 years. An attempt by Britain to starve the Irish people again would ignite the troubles to a level that would make the early '70s look like a picnic but this time the South would be up in arms as well as the North.

Must have been a marriage made in heaven, sounds like he will be better off without her if she's a typical remoaner, spending all day sulking on the internet.

You really should talk to people who know first-hand about the status quo about, and the consequences of no-deal exit on, their line of work.

 

Like eg airline pilots for civil aviation, registered attorneys for IP, radiologists for medical isotopes, etc.

 

You’d be a bit less quick with the “projects” buzzer

 

As it happens I met and had dinner with a corporate jet pilot last Friday night. Just been made redundant in Singapore and interviewing with Luxaviation. He explained that Brit-qual’d pilots are bricking it about a no deal the world over (and not getting any jobs when applying overseas), bc with a no deal taking the U.K. out of current EU and Open Skies frameworks, they’d instantly lose the recognition of their Brit quals, and could only fly Brit-registered aircrafts until the situation is resolved by new agreements.

 

Situation entirely comparable to Brit-qualified IP attorneys across the EU27, I can add.

Okay after reading your waffle I conclude you agree with me new agreements will be sorted out.  If we both have sound judgement then we both will also agree the sooner all parties know there is going to be a no deal then the sooner all parties can make new agreements to resolve situations.

 

I do find it  a little worrying that pilots scare so easily according to your corporate jet pilot dinner date.

Having looked at the brexit deal I don't like it. Anything that treats one part of the country differently from the rest is wrong. But I've not seen or heard anything other than criticism from those opposed to the deal with no reasonable alternative.

They are right to.

 

Since 2012 all UK JAR pilots licences have transitioned to EASA. There is now no longer a solely UK regulated commercial pilot's licence.

 

Without a deal, any UK pilot who attempts to fly an uncertified aircraft* in unregulated airspace will not only be uninsured but is likely to have their licence suspensed.

 

(*After a no deal Brexit, the UK Civil Aviation Authority's membership of EASA will expire which means that in the absence of any other recognised regulation, all UK CAA registered aircraft will no longer have a valid Certificate of Airworthiness and will no longer be legally allowed to fly.)

Patel is beneath contempt, but she's popular in the Tory Party. Speaks volumes.

Whoo hoo, now the Remoaners tell us that the ques at the ports will be, get ready for this little beaut, 6 MONTHS long.  Their claims are now reaching fever pitch. At least they are now so ridiculous as to be laughable.
