Mobile phone roaming charges are supposed to have stopped in the EU. Today we are hearing from Raab, so we know it is not true, that this will continue after brexit. Well I have news for him, roaming charges are still payable depending who you are with. In my case with very low usage I will continue to pay roaming charges (giffgaff). Oh noes! That's my 3 "Feel at home" contract rekt - I won't be able to enjoy "EU roaming" in: the USA (EU member) ...I could go on. It will get boring. I will miss Three though. Oh, wait. [Tweet Link]

[Tweet Link]It's not cool with me dear 3. Not only did I find 3 expensive over-hyped riddled with complications, it also f****d up my phone as well ! Never mind roaming you would be better of legging it than using them.

I am reading with some mirth that 'no deal' could mean the end of Eurostar. Just another day in leave banana land. Of course you should book early for the last train to the continent, otherwise you will never get a ticket. Why? The train would already be packed with brexiteers rushing to leave the UK.!!!!! To join their mates who will have already got out by then.

On a more serious note these scare stories will only happen if the EU enforces them. The day after Brexit neither the UK or EU "have" to do anything. If they choose to stop the planes flying, impose roaming charges, order Ex pat British citizens to leave the EU then that is a political decision. You would then have to ask the question why would anyone British person want to remain part of an organisation that bullies people if it doesn't get it's way? I don't actually believe the EU will do anything of the kind. Deal or no deal common sense and self interest will prevail. The planes will still fly other wise those countries that rely on British tourists will be facing an economic meltdown. No deal my not be perfect but both sides will make it work for the big things that matters.

Pick up the phone PM and end it. She would win an election after IMO people don't want another 10 years of this, it's wearisome.

The mountain of scaremongering bulls*** whipped up by the MSM and mindlessly regurgitated on here is... wearisome. You're welcome to stop anytime you like. I've genuinely stopped challenging and engaging with the FBPE cultists that endlessly propagate this crap. Not because they are right, but because it's futile. They will believe what they want to believe. It's going to hurt them so much when they discover that, unsurpisingly, very little of it comes to pass. It's almost like there is a whole world out there beyond those leaky EU enforced external "borders".

Been listening to LBC this morning, Mayor Khan is now asking for a 2nd referendum. Here's a thought, Remainers quite rightly are criticising the government for their negotiations and for JRM and his group for not detailing their alternate plan, fair enough. However no one is asking the Remainers what their plan is. As far as the EU is concerned we have left by giving notice. I am not aware that the EU has offered to let us stay on the same terms. In other words if we changed our mind there would be a negotiation on the UK re-joining the EU. This might include us having to join the euro losing the rebate etc. In fact we should stop referring to them as Remainers and actually call them Joiners instead as this is the situation we now face. Anyway I would hope that the Brexiters start to challenge "The People's Vote" etc. to explain what they think would happen if we changed our mind. At the very least the Joiners should be asking the EU for a statement on what they think would happen if we did change our mind. Personally I want the government to get on with it using Canada as a role model something the EU has actually offered us. Mrs May is driving me up the wall
