- All issues stem from the UK government. Leadership/managemen... if amazing would make the country a utopia, regardless of being in the EU.shapesalad
- I really miss Portuguese wines and cheese. The best of the world. And their oranges outstanding.shapesalad

- Ha, yep. I have a couple of close family members who left (one Canada, one NZ), much as I love them, they spend their entire time in the UK moaning.fadein11

"The change is a subtle but important one. Settled status can now be denied to anyone who is currently facing deportation for not exercising their EEA treaty rights.
EEA treaty rights basically state that once you've been in another country in Europe for three months you need to be either working, studying or self-sufficient, so you're not a drain on public funds.
The government doesn't actively police this at all. But it does use it as a broad catch-all net to get rid of people it doesn't like. The Operation Nexus initiative by the Home Office and the police often uses treaty rights to target undesirables it can't find any other way to deport.
Sometimes it's beggars. Sometimes it's petty criminals who haven't committed a serious enough crime to warrant removal from the country. Sometimes it's victims of sex trafficking, who are often rough sleeping, without support and unable to go home, where the whole horrific cycle will begin again.
There are very few people who are deported according to this system. Hardly any EU citizens trying to get settled status are likely to be affected by this change in the rules. But then that's not the intention. The Home Office uses treaty rights not as a formal mechanism, but a legal discrimination provision. It affects so many people that it allows them to pick and choose who they target."

Raab privately pushing for no-deal. Which I guess is what I'd do if I had no idea how to secure a deal.
- Can we quietly push this lot into sea?Nairn
- we could use them as human groynesFax_Benson
- <...or No-Deal is a better option than the crap on the table at the moment.Morning_star
- Brexit - (arguably) better than crapFax_Benson
- @fax: no use as groynes, not an inch of backbone between them.hans_glib
- lobster pots?Fax_Benson
- No deal is the worse option. It's surely better to delay and stay in than face absolutely no deal. Idiots at the controls...shapesalad
- And if the deal hammered out by TM is so bad, it just goes to show that out of EU we won't get a better deal or solution to Ireland's border.shapesalad
- If anyone else could get a better deal, well they've had almost 2 fucking years, plus decades before the vote to present the fantabulous deal we could get.shapesalad
- The fact that no one even presented a draft white paper proposal deal and border solution at the time of the 2016 vote, just cements the fact it's the mostshapesalad
- stupid thing to try to do. UK now is the worlds biggest clown.shapesalad
- The constant spectre of other countries jumping ship if the deal we get is perceived to be good is the one and only reason why our deal will be a ...Morning_star
- ...shit sandwich. We should have fought to change Europe from the inside with the French and the Germans. They were up for it too. Now, we're doomed.Morning_star

"What we are left with is really the consequence of Brexiters failing to produce a plan and ruling out all of the viable alternatives and ducking the difficult questions leaving poor old Theresa May to reconcile the irreconcilable while taking abuse from both sides. The Brexiters opted out of the adult discussion and they even resigned their cabinet posts. They opted out so in my view they don't get to wail about the outcome if they don't like it."

Wait... did May just admit that there is a third option - "no brexit at all"?

Hahahahahaha, the biggest political cluster fuck in history rolls on at pace. The UK is a fucking shambles and a complete embarrassment on the global stage.
Thanks to the 17 million wank stains who voted for this mess, you have ruined the future for the next generation.
- You can't blame people when there was no need to have a referendum in the first place and everyone was bullshitted about what was on offerIanbolton
- its Dave the pig fucker's faultBluejam
- Still praying for another referendum. I may even canvas the streets if there is one.Hayzilla
- I do blame them. FFS, they believed, Farage, Gove, Fox, Johnson, Banks, Mogg, Daily Mail, The Sun, The Express etcmrAtor

McVey's gone.
I reckon this is the bit the Tories have been gaming for months. It's the bit they really give a shit about - the coup and the subsequent leadership race. It's all like a fucking Oxbridge parlour game.
- is that how a coup works? Anyway, wouldn't be surprised if Rees Mogg is wandering around in a Toga.Fax_Benson
- Yup. It's gonna get even more messy now (if that is even possible).fadein11
- Everything is a game to the tories, totally disconnected from reality and zero interest in those who will suffer. Cunts the lot of em.fadein11

And when you under Cabinet table barking agreement
With tasty dog biscuits dropped by Theresa from Louis Vuitton handbag
But you get home and owners laugh at you
Crying "Stinky Dog! Smells like May's Rotten Quim!"
And they kick and beat you and put painful cucumber up you
Then say: "No more ministerial dog transport for you!"
Then welcome
Ooooh DExEU welcome.

Any which way you look at it, this accumulation of issues raises many important questions. It is hard to see that the UK has secured the ability unilaterally to remove the "backstop" and, as the agreement stands, it is possible to see a scenario where the UK is locked in perpetuity into a customs union with the EU.
"The issues relating to the single market, and regulatory checks is by no means clear and, it seems, are still not fully resolved, leaving areas for future dispute.
But, just from what we have seen, there is ample material to support an assertion that this is Brexit in Name Only (BRINO). If the ERG and the DUP buy into this, their credibility will be shot to Hell. This is exactly the fudge that should never have been accepted by Mrs May. She is now in the line of fire."

ugh, so they've done the worst possible thing, given the leavers all the excuse they need to wash their hands of it and say "don't blame us, this wasn't what we wanted..."
