Absolutely. As @JPRouve said, the loss of trust and respect now runs so deep it's hard to see how anyone in this generation of EU politicians would want to go through negotiations again with such a bad faith operator.
Should it really be taking that long even with Brexit? Family have sent stuff to the UK and (previously other) Eu countries in the past and its arrived within a few days usually.
I must admit I'm no fan of brexit but for me at least the reality is that posting parcels has been pretty much unaffected... the only parcels I've had issues with is where people have not sent the proper customs declarations with it... (presents are hard because you want to wrap them and for it to be a surprise but they have to have an item description and value in the customs docs...
The Times sports content is exceptional. I used to buy it every Monday for The Game section.I read The Times every day…
only because I get a subscription with my AMEX card.
Read mostly for the sport, but it’s set up pretty well that you can dive in and out.
Im surprised to hear more people read the telegraph that the times.
I find the app layout really good. If you avoid the ‘comment’ tab, it’s fairly neutral.
Customs declarations done bang on and no wrapping… both stopped at customs since arrival at Swedish/Stockholm customs.
But the vast majority of unionists in NI, and the largest unionist party, were in on the gamble.
I've not had any issues... though stopped using royal fail several years ago due to them being a shambolic clusterfec
At the end of 15 years you should have saved enough to buy the Brexit colouring book at 30p per person per year.
To quote Boris again... 'feck Business'. Tbf he's doing well on that front.
He is the acting PM while #scottyfrommatketimg is at the G7. He is utterly despicable and I hate him even more than #scottyfrommarketing. Today's highlight was acusing The Greens of being "traitors to Australia" when they asked him why the government were ignoring the impacts of global warming on farmers.
It's funny that you mention that because while reading some of the positive comments about him, I told myself that you influenced my negative view of Australian conservatives, with environment being arguably the worst of it. From what I see Australia has had many problems with water management and water pollution but the conservatives are flippantly ignoring it. IIRC there are even farmers that have issues with it, due to the lack of sustainability, even if they are some of the beneficiaries of conservative politics?
I think steel and tourism are the next target industries to destroy. Hail Liz Truss, clueless wonderwoman.
Next year though 0.30% and the year after that 0.300 % - hundred times the amount of today. That's your typical brexwin.
The whisky industry must gagging for Scottish independence
Survive or die
Those are generally the two options.
The Slogan used to be 'Brexit means Brexit' now it's 'Survive or die'. Wave a flag!
You're speaking to someone who would unilaterally and irrespective of reciprocity remove all tariffs into the UK.
So suicide then?
One man's suicide is another man's prosperity.
That does not sound as cool as you think it does.
How about: why should a white man be rich at the expense of a non-white man being poor (given that protectionism protects the former at the expense of the latter)?
Brexit is a suicide cult; China rubbing their hands with glee as they find a new dumping ground.
Sure, but that particular argument could just as easily go the other way. In fact, that's kind of the point of left-wing anti-globalization. That the "global market" leads to the exploitation of the poor countries by the rich countries, where the poor are the providers of cash crops and raw resources while being outcompeted by the rich countries on both manufacturing and agriculture - goods the inhabitants of those poor countries are then often unable to adequately afford.
That’s a valid opinion but I’m not sure that is the reason 52% voted leave. I don’t remember the rights of developing nations featuring heavily in the campaign literature.
I aspire more than these 2 options in life. So far so good
That's as a result of Western protectionism. Western countries ensure that selectively chosen raw materials have zero tariffs, but as soon as those raw materials are processed to any minor degree into more profitable products they incur huge import tariffs (ensuring that Western companies are able to profiteer without fair competition). Effectively poor non-white people can harvest raw materials but those same people aren't able to process them into more profitable produce for a living wage. It's literally designed to keep the poor, poor.
I'm weird... I don't care about UK prosperity if it's at the expense of worldwide famine. Why should an unskilled Brit have access to a £9 an hour job when an equally unskilled Somalian can't earn 20% of that?
