Brexit

[DanaC]

If not part of Schengen, then why will all Schengen rules, that make British travel easy in the EU, now be removed? Because Britain was part of (but did not fully implement) Schengen

No. Sorry but you are wrong.

The Schengen Agreement and its implementing Convention were enacted in 1995 only for some signatories,but just over two years later during the Amsterdam Intergovernmental Conference, all European Union member states except the United Kingdom and Ireland had signed the Agreement. It was during those negotiations, which led to the Amsterdam Treaty, that the incorporation of the Schengen acquis[7] into the main body of European Union law was agreed along with opt-outs for Ireland and the United Kingdom, which were to remain outside of the Schengen Area.[8]

That deceitful dullard tw quoted a part of the article I linked to:

The UK formally requested to participate in certain provisions of the Schengen acquis

Then he leaves out what immediately follows his quoted selection in a blatant attempt to defraud.

– Title III relating to Police Security and Judicial Cooperation – in 1999, and this request was approved by the Council of the European Union on 29 May 2000. The United Kingdom's formal participation in the previously approved areas of cooperation was put into effect by a 2004 Council decision that came into effect on 1 January 2005. Although the United Kingdom is not part of the Schengen passport-free area, it still uses the Schengen Information System, a governmental database used by European countries to store and disseminate information on individuals and property. This allows the UK to exchange information with countries that are a part of the Schengen agreement, often for the sake of liaising over law enforcement.[ ...

Bold mine, which is the only part relevant to this discussion.

As usual, tw gets caught lying and tries to manipulate irrelevant information in a smoke and mirrors attempt to deceive people.

I stated the fact that the UK opted out of Schengen. That the UK requested participation in "Police Security and Judicial Cooperation" aspects of Schengen has little bearing on the vibrancy of London. The passport free area which the UK opted out of and never participated in is the RELEVANT fact. Tw misattributed London's vibrancy to an aspect of the Schengen Area that the UK was never part of.

Tw is a senile old coot.

One twist is that Ireland's opt-out of Schengen is contingent on maintaining the Common Travel Area, which may not be possible post-Brexit. So while the UK may not have to remove itself from Schengen, it may need to figure out how to deal with Ireland joining it.

Do ya think they'll have to build a wall?

[Undertoad]

I'm sure Elaine May, working with the phone manufacturers in Shenzhen, will figure something out.

Theresa May must change her name. Everything she writes in a speech causes wild laughter in the House of Commons. Elaine May writes good comedy.

[Rhianne]

Interestingly, or not, MPs are not actually permitted to read written speeches in the House of Commons.

Sure is a lot of these on the net...

Here's an interesting correlation, Brexit vote vs Mad Cow coverage. (I think they're lying)

Maybe joking rather than lying but, yes, it's obviously fake.

She still writes that comedy before speaking it. Britain has chosen to laugh. Then pain can be ignored. Let the good times roll - all over them.

Brexit never made sense to anyone who is an adult thinking like an adult.

It is called stand-up. Only better comedians do it.

Theresa 'Elaine' May tried to spin eggs today. She could not even do that. Was there ever a Prime Minister less competent?

Maybe she should stick to stand-up?

[sexobon]

Abbot and Costello, Martin and Lewis, Desi and Lucy, watch out. Here comes Theresa May and tw (her funnyman as only he could be) in the new comedy team T'N'T.

They'll be Dyn-o-mite!
