Well... the UK parliament has voted not to have any say in post-brexit trade agreements...
How strange is that? They want out of Europe to have more control over their trade (in the EU every single nation has to agree to a trade deal), then they vote to have no say whatsoever!
How bizarre.
To make matters stranger, the UK and US have agreed that the details of any trade agreement are to remain secret. And to top it off... the secrecy is to remain for 5 years.
Anyone care to explain what the hell is going on over there?
@kevcvs57 saidYes, I would have thought so.
But if you raise an objection shouldn’t the human mods reinstate the post, the word in question has insinuated itself into quite a few perfectly innocent words.
@shavixmir saidQuite. Brexit is a plot by a bunch of free-market radicals to make us the 51st state; or perhaps one should more realistically say, a non-voting Commonwealth like Puerto Rico.

Russia interfered with the referendum and elections (seemingly wanting to weaken the EU by having Britain leave it) and the security and secret services said it isn’t there job to protect British democracy from foreign attacks!
Uhuh.
So, in case you were thinking British politicians were bought by oligarchs (which they were) to remain quiet (which they did) and to put pressure on MI5, etc. not to investigate, you’d be wrong.
The secret services and police didn’t need leaning on, they knew about the interference from Russia and chose to do nothing; all of their own accord.
Mind boggeling!
Boris has come out and said that it’s most likely going to be a no-deal brexit.
Didn’t parliament vote on that issue last year?
Didn’t the tories say: “Don’t vote labour, because they’ll need to haggle a new deal and we’ve already got an oven-ready deal.”
With everything summed up the last 7 posts... do the pro-brexit folk not feel slightly shafted?
@shavixmir saidBoth sides have said that.

It's just posturing.
@shavixmir saidOH NO, so the Brexit issue will continue!

@ghost-of-a-duke saidI think you’ve been bent forward and rogered by a tory.

@shavixmir saidYeah you can’t miss em, their the ones that are smouldering and clawing at their skin.
Well, I presume most tories go to church on Sundays.
