Would you still vote for Brexit?

[Hanglow]

It certainly provided a laugh.

 

[Scoot Hogan]

Patience. The UK usually go to the wire on negotiations. Pragmatic

 

[Chippy_Tea]

I voted remain*, but I just want to say, if I did vote to leave I'd be pretty annoyed right now. You might have wanted to leave, you may have even championed No Deal but I very much doubt anyone wanted it to still be up in the air two weeks out.

I doubt anyone who did vote to leave will agree.

I didn't vote but if we could vote today I would vote leave, I don't care if it's 2 weeks or two months the bottom line is we will no longer be told what to do by people in another country, I was listening to 5 live earlier and they are crapping themselves they know if we leave others will follow (not my words listen to the podcast) so they are making it as difficult as possible to try to put off any other country following us, it's all a game and I think after extra time we will win.

[Hanglow]

What will we win?

 

[Chippy_Tea]

What will we win?

They will give up more than they want to that to me is a win.

 

[Hanglow]

Given everything we will lose, no matter what the outcome of these negotiations with a vastly more robust economic entity, I can't see how anything can be framed as a win for the UK.

Negotiations generally do and should go to the wire. If they don't then either they're very simple negotiations or one side got steamrolled.

I take it you voted remain which would explain the above "I can't see how anything can be framed as a win for the UK"

Instead of speculating why not wait and see what the deal is then comment.

Any chance of a link to said podcast? I'm not familiar with the workings of Five Live.
That's not my experience of either the populace or the press in the rain-swept wastes of sunny Brittany, although there are a couple of neo-fascist states we could do with cutting free IMO.
Do any of my fellow Europeans get a sense we are crapping ourselves or that others are waiting to follow the UK into a glorious sunset?

Because that's not what "remainers" do!

 

[Falco]

To all its advocates out there: please stop polishing your Brexsh!t turd, you’ll wear the damn shine off it

Please stop! Stop now! Everything’s going to be fine just like good old Uncle Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson said it will.

You WON, get over it

Doh it looks like i am not either you can find the podcasts using the link here the prog i was listening to live was on at about 08:00 or maybe a bit later - Radio 5 live - Listen Live - BBC Sounds

They had a couple of guests on and the Euro "expert" was the one basically saying what i posted above.

 

[An Ankoù]

Thanks. Found today's schedule with a couple of likely candidates. I'll give them a listen when I come in gagging for beer.

 

[Crappyfish]

Wasn't a no deal the aim of Boris anyway so no surprise the talks are breaking down.

 

[Chippy_Tea]

I think this is the one - 5 Live Breakfast - 14/12/2020 - BBC Sounds

 

[Chippy_Tea]

Why do you say they are breaking down they are still negotiating, both sides are dug in and have to make it look like both sides won as said in the podcast - 5 Live Breakfast - 14/12/2020 - BBC Sounds

1 hr 41 into podcast

 

[Hanglow]

I mean you can speculate, based on the respective positions of the two sides. That is what adults are capable of doing, with some rational thought. I do however appreciate that quitlings have never applied rational thought to the mess we are currently in.

 

[Justin Dean]

I do not believe no deal is Boris ambition . There are 2 sides to a negotiation.
