So Brexit seems to be a good thing then.

In the US it only takes a relatively small number of swing voters in swing states to win an election.
Brexit was won by a small margin, so yes it can make a difference.
That said, both sides will do it.And no doubt will get better at it,. Then we have a propaganda arms race being fought by shadowy, unaccountable organisation, prone to influence from elements that mean us no good.
Should the battle of ideas really be won with lies and deceit?

This is not to say it didn't cement and harden a decision. How many pro-leave voters were already EU sceptics before the campaigns had even started? We will never really know, nor should we try to find out as its detracting from the core issue:
The core issue being media outlets and platforms (that includes print, TV and social/internet) peddling opinion and suggestion as biased fact. As you say, it is a arms race. The traditional media formats are quick to vilify Facebook, whilst conveniently ignoring that they themselves have been doing this long before the internet even existed!

well yes - in fact you can trace the roots back to tobacco/cancer denial in the 60 and 70's
The tobacco companies knew by the early 60's the health effects of smoking/tobacco - but by a concentrated tactic of denial/fake news/fake studies/fake experts - all emanating from the same small cabal of "think tanks" managed to drag it out well into 2000's

"The move has horrified Austria's medical establishment. Dr Manfred Neuberger, professor emeritus at the Medical University of Vienna, says it is "a public health disaster".
"The decision is irresponsible. It was a victory for the tobacco industry. The new government made Austria into the ashtray of Europe."

We will probably be drip fed some headline deals, but much of it will not be broadcast! Although nothing is fixed until the final deal is agreed.
I'm sure the UK will not publish anything, but the EU will certainly make the full text of any agreement available.

At first there was going to be a million people on the streets, didn't happen, then next it was 200,000, didn't happen, next protest got a few thousand. This one allegedly 1500 people. all these protests are in London, which was by far the only major area that voted remain . Leaving the EU is going to happen. Londoners have accepted the decision, only a handful day dreaming political nobody's still harping on about it.

I didn’t get the impression from the article that it was meant to be a big gathering.
Besides, is what they’re proposing so unreasonable? It’d be far more informed than Brexit was.

This Windrush scandal just really sums up the hateful anti-immigrant rhetoric that has been building in the UK over the last years.
Add to that, whats going on about Cambridge Analytica and the Leave.EU campaign and the revelations the Leave.EU used **** style propaganda to persuade the Brexiteers by further pushing the anti-immigration hatred!
http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-43793546
Thats rights Brexiteers - Aaron Banks and Nigel Farage and thier Leave.EU organisation with help from those nice guys at Cambridge Analytica brainwashed you with **** propoganda techniques to vote to leave the EU, and just like the Germans in the 1930's you fell for it!

Pray tell, who is responsible for the viral 'Project Fear' campaigns?
Both sides are highly guilty of propagandist content and manipulation via media and social media (which still continues).
Shame on you all for lapping up every headline and shared feed like the sheeple you all are!

Certainly not sunshine and rainbows for me , Its the people who live in each country who pay a high price for this.
I have to leave Germany by Dec2020. Mother will not be able to stay (90) & partial blindness really needs English language care in UK won't be entitled to any here after 2020. That means clear her flat sell my house, Ask my new fiancée to live in UK and leave some of my family here ( sons 17 and 19 aged from first wife ).
Yeah I'm really thrilled.

Yes that's interesting - thank you
At the very least we will have to set up our own licencing regime (including enforcement, supervision etc) for Air Traffic controllers
I suspect thing like this are taxing the people at DExEU all the time - and will continue for years as we unpeel the Brexit onion
You will know when the UK has come to terms with Brexit it is when we start concrete-ing over large parts of Kent to prepare for all the delays due to phytosanitary and rules of origin checks that will be required

Certificates issued before the withdrawal date by the competent authorities of the United Kingdom on the basis of the provisions of the Basic Regulation and its implementing rules will no longer be valid as of the withdrawal date in the EU. This concerns in particular:
Certificates of airworthiness, restricted certificates of airworthiness, permits to fly, approvals of organisations responsible for the maintenance of products, parts and appliances, approvals for organisations responsible for the manufacture of products, parts and appliances, approvals for maintenance training organisations, and certificates for personnel responsible for the release of a product, part or appliance after maintenance, issued pursuant to Article 5 of the Basic Regulation;
Pilot licences, pilot medical certificates, certificates for pilot training organisations, certificates for aero-medical centres, certificates for flight simulation training devices, certificates for persons responsible for providing flight training, flight simulation training or assessing pilots' skill, and certificates for aero medical examiners, issued pursuant to Article 7 of the Basic Regulation;
Certificates for air operators and attestations for the cabin crew, issued pursuant to Article 8 of the Basic Regulation;
Certificates for aerodromes, certificates for ATM/ANS providers, licences and medical certificates for air traffic controllers, certificates for air traffic controller training organisations, certificates for aero medical centres and aero medical examiners responsible for air traffic controllers, certificates for persons
etc
So after reading that, unless an agreement is reached, UK airspace will become inaccessible and that includes overflights. Can't see that being able to happen, too much money at stake for all parties.

there are other "Notice to Stakeholders" the EU have produced, over 50 in total and they cover just about every area of economic activity - from road haulage to banking to the chemicals industry
https://ec.europa.eu/info/brexit/brexit-preparedness_en
they simply set out the legal consequences of the UK becoming a "third" country next year
the one on road transport is pretty revealing
https://ec.europa.eu/transport/sites...-transport.pdf
"Thus, as of the withdrawal date, drivers who are United Kingdom nationals and do not constitute long-term residents in the Union, within the meaning of Council Directive 2003/109/EC, and who work for a Union haulier holding a Community licence require a driver attestation. In accordance with Article 5(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1072/20097, this driver attestation shall be issued by the competent authorities of the Member State of establishment of the haulier holding a Community licence for each driver who is neither a national nor a long-term resident within the meaning of Council Directive 2003/109/EC8 whom that haulier lawfully employs or who is put at his disposal.
o Certificate of professional competence for drivers: In accordance with Directive 2003/59/EC9, drivers in the Union of a vehicle intended for the carriage of goods or for the carriage of passengers need to hold a certificate of professional competence certifying the initial qualification or periodic training and issued by competent authorities of an EU Member State or by an approved training centre in an EU Member State. Drivers who are nationals of an EU Member State obtain their initial qualification in the EU Member State of their normal residence while drivers who are nationals of third countries do this in the EU Member State which issued a work permit to them. As of the withdrawal date, certificates of professional competence issued by the United Kingdom or by an approved training centre in the United Kingdom will no longer be valid in the EU-27."
I suspect on Air Traffic / Aircraft some sort of deal will be done - but I suspect the UK shambolic performance over the last 2 years means that Airbus will move investment back to the EU
Nevertheless the laughable fact is we are negotiating to get what we already have!!!!!!
in fact technically a lot worse, as whatever deal we do with the EU we lose the deals the EU has with over 50 countries - and contrary to what the bulls1tter Liam Fox says these countries will not simply allows us to cut 'n' paste the EU agreements - and simply carry on
