Make england great again.
MEGA.
Fool. It's never the elites who suffer, no matter which lying politician gets elected. The Brexiters promised us all a free lunch, and people should have known better.

Sep 21st, 2018 - 05:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The UK-government went for all all or nothing, and now they will get less than nothing. This is what blind arrogance leads to. (remember, even Trump has gotten almost nothing from all his blustering: any checks from Mexico yet for the wall?)
Sep 22nd, 2018 - 12:05 am - Link - Report abuse 0Less than nothing seems increasingly likely now: a hard border WITHIN it's own country. The May govermment has only one choice and that is to ignominiously back down completely. It won't, even for good of country.
This would represent one of the most coldly ironic twists in world history: The UK, the country whose past trade and political/military has created so many artificial hard borders within countries (Northern Ireland, Gibraltar, Hong Kong, India/Pakistan, all over Africa), is now facing the real possibility of a hard border being imposed within it's own sovereign territory.
Karma at full speed. And we can clearly see what happens once those hard borders are created: They tend to stay for good.
Deflection.

@Trollboy
What seems most likely now is no agreement, and a hard border in Ireland. May's plan was the last chance and the EU shot her down; they obviously weren't willing to compromise at all.
It's gonna be very hard for us and difficult for Ireland, I'm guessing.
DT, why are you so ashamed of your birth country?
