FFS Kill Me Now!
Having endured the build up to the referendum, then the two years of carping from Brexiteers and Remoaners about the result, there is no way I nor the British people want this excruciating agony to go on after Brexit!the rumour is that a new Europhile centrist party could be launched straight after Brexit — in April next year — in order to campaign for the UK to rejoin the EU https://t.co/DWNVu5Lam9— Jim Pickard (@PickardJE) August 29, 2018

EU Citizens Allowed To Stay In UK Even If No Deal Brexit
Theresa May will take the “moral high ground” and allow EU migrants to continue to access the NHS and claim benefits, because the rest of her government’s contingency plans for an acrimonious departure from the bloc rely “on the availability of existing labour”.
The offer would apply regardless of whether British migrants in European countries are granted the same rights by the EU.
Rightly so, as the UK economy would grind to a halt if 3 million Europeans were kicked out!

Boris Brexit Bus Tour?
It seems, according to the Huffington Post, that Boris Johnson’s allies will urge him to launch another bus tour to stir up opposition to Theresa May’s Brexit plans at crunch meeting of eurosceptics next week.
Johnson will hold a meeting with his closest allies next week to thrash out the details of the roadshow, but an influential pro-Brexit MP confirmed to HuffPost UK the idea of replicating the bus campaign used in the 2016 EU referendum campaign would be on the table.
I will believe it when I see it!

MI6 Bugging The EU?
The EU apparently thinks that MI6 are bugging their Brexit deliberations.
I would jolly well hope that they are.
However, I am more than underwhelmed that Theresa May has quite clearly made little use of the results of the bugging!

EU Chickens Coming Home To Roost
Commonsense should dictate that the EU should show more flexibility, in order to avoid a no deal Brexit. However, the EU is not prone to showing commonsense!EU members could end up shelling out over £500billion as they prepare for trade tariffs and extra costs associated with Britain leaving the bloc without a withdrawal agreement, according to a bombshell report.https://t.co/CrPylo2ZEC— Economists4FreeTrade (@Econs4FreeTrade) August 14, 2018

The Whiff of 1914?
There’s more than a whiff of 1914 about Brexit. A shot has been fired that looks sure to have dramatic geopolitical consequences that no one knows how to stop - unless someone finds a way to put the bullet back in the gun. My latest. https://t.co/evUDIIhZ9k— Simon Nixon (@Simon_Nixon) August 9, 2018

It seems that the UK Border Force simply isn't up to the job. This is somewhat alarming, given that Brexit hasn't occurred yet!
