brexit 

theguardian.com/politics/2019/ again we see the sheer craven grab for power at all costs even in the face of a hard aka catastrophic brexit. Politics and power corrupt absolutely.

brexit 

In 10 days the UK will, like hapless lemmings throw themselves off the cliffs of Dover, but there will be no ferries to take them to France without a permit, and all trade agreements will be null and void. A fuckup as epic as Chamberlain’s Appeasement.

If you’re in the UK then consider stockpiling a couple of months worth of your essential medication and basic foodstuffs as there is literally no coordinated plan from govt on what happens next they are making it up day by day.

brexit 

Airlines have no idea what’s going to happen, nor do ships and even vehicles on the Eire/UK border, and this lack of clarity applies to Germany Holland France Spain etc - all coastal borders need to deal with this indecision. Does a truck of Irish Butter need a full inspection at Calais or is it ok to roll straight through with its secret stash of illegal UK steaks?

How would you suggest brexit be done such that there wouldn't be a hard border?

@dch

@freemo
maybe:
- rise up, revolt
- abolish nationalism
- selforganisation
- building mutual aid networks
- federated comunes
- size the means of production and make everything commons
- establish an econony that is based on our needs while respecting our surrounding and other species
- abolish capitalism

While I respect all of your opinions (even though I only agree with some of these points and with conditions)...

None of that actually answered the question. How would you resolve the border issue while executing brexit.

@freemo
I do not accept the status quo.
I do not accept the process that lead to brexit.
I want a society that is organized fundamentaly different then it is today.
I will not strive for anything less then that.

In term of practicality, I suggest for mass disobidience.

Thats fair, but for better or worse it is not in line with what the majority of people want. Ultimately we, and any nation, must work within those constraints. That means that even if we dont agree with brexit or the status quo those decisions have already been made, at this point the real question is how do we execute on those decisions in the most beneficial way for everyone.

I'm not opposed to a revote by the way, but until such a revote is conducted and there is evidence to suggest the results would be any different, then this is the course we are on. So it is within these restraints where solutions would be executable and productive.
