Brexit.

[Hardy]

Brexit is Brexit, it's red, white and blue
Hard Brexit, soft Brexit, thick Brexit stew
Full English Brexit, it's served with a T
Toast's what the UK is going to be

Brexit with Kippers, you know it's a cod
Served up with a pint and a wink and a nod
When the stakes were so high Farage was everywhere
Now sightings of Nigel are medium rare

Ulster Fry Brexit, and Scotch Eggs-it too
Nexit, Irexit, even Legs-it will do
French Fries are out, Britain's serving up chips
On the shoulders of fools bent on apocalypse

Continental Brexit is top of the menu
The Houses of Parliament today's dining venue
But just what is Brexit, well nobody knows
Though it strongly looks like emperor's brand new clothes

Experts are idiots, so says Mr. Gove
Now they're hated from Carlisle to Brighton and Hove
Knowledge is ridiculed, ignorance bliss
Little England prefers to talk out of its Swiss

Englishmen don't like their cucumbers straight
Imaginary rules are a reason to hate
The tabloids are like a great shoal of piranhas
The Brits have decided to go straight bananas

Tommy doesn't like foreigners, he says "get 'em out"
But the irony is that the Queen is a Kraut
Boris is Russian, Farage is a Frog,
Descended from Frenchies, not from a bulldog

Churchill is dead and the empire has gone
But the Brits can't accept that the world has moved on
"We'll stand on our own feet, Britain is first"
How long for the delusional bubble to burst

Braveximo!

Boris Johnson, the Foreign Secretary, described it as "a magnificent moment", while in the House of Commons, there was jubilation from MPs as Mrs May announced: "The Article 50 process is now under way."

Meanwhile back on planet earth

Neil asks if voters can be reassured that immigration post-Brexit will be "significantly lower".
The prime minister says that after leaving the EU the UK will be able to make its own immigration rules. Neil presses her on whether numbers will change. May does not promise this, saying: "There are so many things in the world which affect the number of people coming to the UK."
Asked about the government's pledge to reduce net migration to below 100,000 a year, May says of the current figures: "They are higher than we would want them to be."
Theresa May says she cannot guarantee immigration will be significantly lower after Brexit

Surely then that's a good thing in maintaining the levels of immigration?

What is the whole thing about then?

What is the whole thing about then?

reducing immigration and staying in the single market

May triggers Article 50, Corbyn gets up at PMQs and asks his half dozen or so questions on.... public spending. No mention of Brexit. What is up with that clown?

[imtommygunn]

He is in favour of brexit. At some level i like the mans ideals but he is not a leader at all. A good labour leader could possibly have got a general election ore brexit.

It is infuriating as labour were our only hope.

The Daily Telegraph is one of the key Brexit idea factories. Today's analysis includes "the resurgent global economy gives Brexit the wind it needs" and "a small number of City jobs will be lost but Brexit will generate more".
English people used to accuse the Irish of not being rational.

Seafod will love this one

UK savings are at a record low, and half of what they were in 2006. Lots of debt, probably in the hope of lots of inflation.

The last few years have all been about increased debt.  Very few payrises
When Labour handed over the reins in 2011 one of the ministers wrote "there is no more money". the Tories borrowed another half a trillion.

Good debate on RTÉ radio 1 now, Jeffrey Donaldson, Gerry Adams, Stephen Donnelly and Charlie Flanagan.
Jeffrey not admitting that NI is in some economic difficulty post Brexit, he must have been listening to Miltown Row.
