Page 6 of Brexit

BBC news....the Scottish and Welsh governments have threatened to block the key Brexit bill which will convert all existing EU laws into UK laws.

The repeal bill, is also facing opposition from Labour and other parties in the Commons.

No 10_says it has to pass, or there will be no laws after Brexit

Now I'm completely for remain, but as things move on I worry if anyone in the government is actually doing anything to sort out this sort of stuff:

I'm not even convinced they've picked which Pizza shop/Chippy to use for working lunches yet.
I understand David Davis loves it but the Dead Ringers portrayal of him as 'Brexit Bulldog' the Master Negotiator feels too damn close for comfort.

They really don't know what they're doing, and as is becoming clearer day by day, didn't really understand the actual consequences of 'hard' brexit. 

But they will push on regardless, because of a paper thin 'mandate' damaging the country so badly that it may take decades for the country to bounce back.

Stuff you don't hear any more:

• £350m a week we'll get back to 'spend on the NHS'
• individual deals we'll negotiate with each EU country
• Simultaneous trade and sovereignty talks
• "They need us more than we need them"

Ever had this conversation with your child or parent from either direction.

Here's your new bike
I hate it. It's awful. It's red. I hate red.Take it back.
(next day)
Dad where's my bike.
It's in the back of the car,it's going back you said you hated it.
But I didn't mean it. I need it now.
Nope. It's going back. You said you didn't want it.
But Daaaaad...

Feels like we're all in that relationship right now.

Plausible analysis of what Brexit means in near/mid/long term (not sure how many of the Brexit voters thought they were voting for this):

Total capitulation by UK govt. over NI border. It's almost as if EU are holding all the cards. This is going to cause major ructions with DUP and Scotland in particular - even London mayor says London should get special deal now.

Still. Blue passports though. And only costing £44bn (initially).

There's no if about it. They have total power over this and were always going to. This jingoistic sense of entitlement that was a pervading theme, where a lot of idiots honestly thought we could just click our fingers and the world would come-a-runnin' to our door. Plus Theresa keep on shaking that magical money tree she nicked off Labour
