UK Politics Thread XI: Boris' Big Bombastic Brexit Bash

[The Huskar Social Union]

Latest iteration of the ongoing UK politics thread series, last one was here:

Welcome once more to the latest hot take thread on the glorious calamity that is British Politics, the finest politics on the continent, far better than the French for sure, and those pesky swamp germans (beware of sheep). Here we shall discuss all the current events that dominate the political sphere in the nation of Britannia, in particular BREXIT, the British attempt to leave the European Union which has been going on now for some time.

First Poll will be on the new brexit deal Boris Johnson has secured with the EU, and whether or not you agree with said deal.

I might flesh this OP out more later.

I made this because the other one got to 500 pages, if you were in the process of making a thread sue me.

Well, I'm not a fan of it, and now the Commons likely won't get to vote on it anyway, so...

[Eastfield Lodge]

Loving the support for Burning Everything right now. GVH would be proud.

I'm just bored by the proceedings at this point and want a resolution. Not that there will be one.

[The New California Republic]

You missed a trick Huskar. The thread should be called UK Politics Thread XI: The Eleventh Hour of Brexit.

[Dumb Ideologies]

That fucking title. Good man.

[Alvecia]

Mmm, new thread smell. Smells like....despair.

[Philjia]

I like that Johnson's deal has changed the NI backstop from being a possibility to a compulsory part of withdrawal.

[Ifreann]

Hello Brexit my old friend
I've come to post bout you again

[The Huskar Social Union]

Hello Brexit my old friend
I've come to post bout you again

Because a Bojo softly creeping
Left its buses while I was sleeping

[Fartsniffage]

Hello Brexit my old friend
I've come to post bout you again

Because a Bojo softly creeping
Left its buses while I was sleeping

And the vision that was planted in my brain
Fuck remain

[Chan Island]

Ah, the British politics thread. Another 500 pages of misery, screaming and hopelessness await.

So, what does everyone think about Brexit?

EDIT: All to the sound, of Boris.

[Thermodolia]

Well, I'm not a fan of it, and now the Commons likely won't get to vote on it anyway, so...

Wait what?

Wait what?

Well, it would be severly muzzled should the Letwin Amendment pass: https://news.sky.com/story/letwin-amendment-could-mean-the-honeymoon-is-over-for-pm-11838756

Well then

that's playing into the remainders hands- bad move.

This is the tricksy bit of getting a deal- underhand contrivances afoot, perchance? From both plug pulling sides of the argument.

[Hirota]

Court case that Vass and Fartsniffage were talking about at the end of the last thread went nowhere.

And the beeb started its own maths https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-50096546

[Hydesland]

Part of me just wants this deal to go through as I'm so bored of this shite now.

[Vassenor]

Well then

Making sure we have time to implement the agreed to deal properly is playing into the remainers hands? How?

[Ostroeuropa]

ITV Journo: "So, race to the bottom is often a thing talked about with global trade, Labour is talking about workers rights and you need those votes to go through, do you understand those concerns?"

Boris: "yeah. yeah. Well the deal contains a passage that explicitly talks about how both we and europe both agree that we have ambitions on workers rights and environmental protection."

ITV Journo doesn't follow up with any questions and just moves on.

"I PROMISE I WILL TRY TO TRY!" is the best way to interpret that non answer, and the worst way is "Well we do have ambitions. I.E, scrapping them.".

Also, poor Europe. Do you think they fell for that shit in good faith?

"Well I mean these Trade standards, without us knowing about comparative wages and workplace safety and so on... I mean-"

"Look, we're both going to disagree on the fiddly bits and that's part of the reason for brexit, regulatory autonomy, but we super duper promise that we're on board with the general concept of worker rights, safety, wellbeing, and the environment and cross our hearts won't deliberately undercut your standards in order to take advantage of the generous tariffs you're offering which you wouldn't offer to countries that didn't have environmental protections and good wages and so on. Pinky swear."

"WELL OKAY I GUESS A GENTLEMANS AGREEMENT IS FINE. You're right, provided the regulations are of comparable quality they need not be exactly the same.".

I hope not.

I really really hope not.

[Philjia]

WELL OKAY I GUESS A GENTLEMANS AGREEMENT IS FINE.

Remember Vince Cable's gentlemen's agreement?

Also gentlemen's agreement sounds like a sex act.
