Beginning to think this might have been a bad idea.

Wonder if 'EU-loving' Hezza is right? There must be a high chance the EU says no thanks though after all the hassles.
Article goes on to say the right could rally around Johnson if they feel Brexit is under threat.

BREXIT U-TURN FEAR
Ex-deputy PM Michael Heseltine warns Brexit could be undone if Boris Johnson resigns

EU-loving Tory Michael Heseltine believes Brexit could be undone if Boris Johnson is forced to quit.

The ex-deputy PM said Boris’s potential resignation would “throw the whole thing up in the air” and raise the prospect of a second referendum.

Wrong Unstable Leadership
I sent a mac to a user in the UK and said it might take 3 months and a bill from customs like the last one.

He received it in 2 days. 2 days later he received a letter from customs that some info was required and if he didn't reply they would not release the package and return it to the sender.

UK customs ladies an gents.

I hope he writes 'feck it, return to sender.

I bet all those who voted remain feel very stupid now that things are going so well.

‘REINTRODUCED OUR ICONIC BLUE PASSPORTS’ – ‘REVIEWING THE EU BAN ON IMPERIAL MARKINGS AND SALES’ – ‘ENABLING BUSINESSES TO USE A CROWN STAMP SYMBOL ON PINT GLASSES’

Many people will justifiably despair at the fact that the Brexit campaign upended the UK’s economic and diplomatic relationship with our closest trading bloc in exchange for blue passports and crowns on pint glasses. The inclusion of these supposed benefits in the Government’s report is perhaps the strongest indication that it is clutching at straws.
And, in an appropriate Brexit irony, our ‘iconic’ blue passports are being made in Poland.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
imagine including those things on an official report and calling them benefits.

they won their vote but damn, there’s really little upside in reality

Brexit causing 'increased costs, paperwork, delays' say MPs

UK firms have been hit by "increased costs, paperwork and border delays" as a result of Brexit, MPs have said.
A report from parliament's spending watchdog, the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), said it "was clear" that leaving the EU was having an impact on UK trade volumes.
It also warned things could worsen this year as new import controls come in.
The government said it continued to ensure businesses "got the support they need to trade effectively with Europe".
"One of the great promises of Brexit was freeing British businesses to give them the headroom to maximise their productivity and contribution to the economy - even more desperately needed now on the long road to recovery from the pandemic," said PAC chair Meg Hillier.
"Yet the only detectable impact so far is increased costs, paperwork and border delays."
While it was hard to disentangle the impact of Brexit from the effects of Covid and wider global problems it was "clear that EU exit has had an impact" on UK trade volumes, the committee said.
The report comes as Jacob Rees-Mogg has been appointed minister for Brexit opportunities as part of a cabinet reshuffle. The prominent Leave campaigner will look at which EU rules may be scrapped now the UK has left the bloc.

Remember those heady days when Brexiteers promised all EU laws would be copied and pasted into British law and the only thing 'remoaners' had was project fear?

Brexit: UK plan to remove EU law sparks nations' anger

Brexit: EU laws overhaul will boost growth, vows Boris Johnson


Boris Johnson has vowed that a plan to overhaul EU laws copied over after Brexit will encourage business to invest in the UK.
The prime minister said a "Brexit Freedoms Bill" will make it easier to change thousands of EU-era regulations that remain in force.
He said the it would allow the UK to set growth-friendly rules for "cutting edge technologies of the future".
But the plan has been criticised by the devolved administrations.

Brexiteers are actually the living embodiment of the "pipe in own bike spokes meme"
Except our politicians are getting kickbacks from the person who sold the Brexiteer both the pipe and the bike.

Giving the job of talking up Brexit to Jacob "My family have heavily benefitted financially from Brexit" Rees "I'm a massive twat" Mogg "cnut" should be highlighted as yet another hatchet job from this pack of charlatans but we're so numb to it now that nobody really gives a shit.

This is what brexiteers have been reduced to..

https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/1...ion-trade-germany-update#conversation-wrapper

For anyone who understandably doesn't want to give the Express a click, it's an article with the following headline:

" 'Huge advantage!' Brexit export bonanza about to explode – £500BN surge and 5M jobs"

So how is this to actually be achieved? Well they don't actually say. The article literally just says that if we doubled our exports to match Germany those are the benefits we'd gain. Nothing at all about how this could actually be possible or achievable. Also no explanation of how a country with less than 1.5m unemployed could actually fill 5m jobs.. :lol:

So you're saying No to five MILLION jobs? Good thing you're not running the country.

More lies. It just seems to be the mantra of the Tories and their partners in crime. Spill out more and more outlandish lies, trump style. Clear as day.

as for 5m, that’s just plucked out of their arse. Not unless they are going to invite Johnny Foreigner to do jobs? Gasp! But but brexit.. the borders!

Makes sense for them to follow a path of "imagine this happened instead of what actually is happening" after all the warnings about what a Corbyn Britain would look like - which looked strangely like the Tory Britain we were already living in.
