Not with the biggest project fear lies that all the planes wont be able
to fly the day after,

Long since dispelled by the EU stating that British aircraft would be
allowed into their airspace, even if there were a no deal Brexit.

They never said that in the runup to the referendum.

Still one of the original project fear bare
faced lies in the runup to the referendum.

It was a completely accurate statement of international aviation law.

Bull**** it was when the UK had been flying
to europe ever since flying was invented.

Aircraft on scheduled flights have to have permission to fly into or over
the territory of another country. ICAO Convention, Part I, Chapter II,
Article 6.

Pity that there is no reason for that to stop when the UK leaves the EU.

At present, that permission is inherent in our membership of the EU.

More lies given that that was true even before the UK joined the EEC.

Without a deal or the unilateral declaration given by the EU, British
aircraft would not have been allowed into EU airspace from the Brexit
date.

More project fear lies.

Do try to keep up. They voted yesterday to allow one, without any
conditions.

Who did ?

The European Parliament.

The EP doesnt get to decide if the EU agrees to any
extension of Article 50. Thats decided by the member
countrys, and any single one has a veto right on that.

It still has to be ratified by the other member states,

The EP is irrelevant to that ratification.

but that is highly probable given that the resolution has been passed.

Bull**** given that the EP is completely irrelevant to
any extension of Article 50. thats up to the individual
member countys and each on has a veto on that. And
Macron has already said very unambiguously that he
sees no point in any further extension.

Just some stupid journo who hasnt got a ****ing clue
that the EP is completely irrelevant to that question.
