I was surprised it was as low as 94%
As far as I can remember, the referendum was a very simple:
Should the UK remain a member of the EU, or leave the EU.
Apart from that, the leave campaign and to a lesser degree the remain campaign were based upon lies and an unobtainable illusion -leave and scare tactics - remain.
Nobody but nobody who voted in 2016 had any idea what the final outcome was going to be because that took many years to conclude including the transition period.
And even now, things have not yet settled down.
And if those who voted leave don't like what has happened, just think for a few seconds what the 48% who voted remain think.
Tough sh1t. Get used to it.
You were sold a lie.
We should replace Liz Truss with an Irish turnip
You'd get more sense from an Irish turnip.
I used to like her song though , "Whiskey in the Jar" by Thick Lizzy
I googled that Thick Lizzy and you better be careful old man, your heart ain't that youthful anymore.

Well he does have French lineage on his mother's side and Turkish lineage on his father's.
His son Boris born in the USA - all a bit of a mess, a Turkish delight, no, not even an Eton Mess
Boris - just a soggy mess.
That reads like a quote from Boris after being asked if he was going to help families with the cost of living crisis.
It is!
I knew I had seen it somewhere before.Pet travel after Brexit: taking a dog to the EU could cost £300 a time
With pet passports issued in Great Britain no longer valid, owners fork out for health certificates and jabs
Those stupid pets wanting blue passports - they're worthless, I tell you.

Non-dom status secured.

Why would this win votes?
They don't want that foreign metric malarkey.
Going full imperial should kill any remaining export trade they had left. Everything is metric.
What a spiffing idea Boris.
But why stop at pounds and ounces.
Let's go back to:
Pounds, shillings, pence, thrupenny bits and farthings.
Yards, feet and inches.
Bushels, Pecks, Rods, Chain and Perch.
I am all for choice. But let's move with the times, forward not backwards.
And why stop there.
Lets go back to Workhouses, Poor Law and sending little boys up chimneys to earn a farthing a week.
Gets my vote....
Everything is metric, (except the US).
But everyone else should really come into line with us shouldn't they, including driving on the left side of the road.
If the Uk ships to anywhere in the world including the US, all shipping is in metric. I did it for over thirty years, US companies were our biggest customers. Also the US imperial system isn't the same as the UK. So if they produce in imperial they still have to convert to metric so it is not really related to Brexit, it applies worldwide.
Although it's ridiculous and a pure symbolic move to prove we can "make our own rules". we're not going back to the imperial system. Supposedly the change will be to allow shops to sell in imperial measures again if they want.
No-one will apart from the odd shop sponsored by Rees Mogg I imagine.
Of course, it would be another suicidal move, it's just to get the flag wavers going again.
also.....
Boris might be arguing for the reinstate the 'Corn Laws'... that will be his next 'big wheeze...' grow more at home, (especially as we can't get any from Ukraine) the UK should think of others less fortunate and not be siphoning-off the worlds grain supplies at a time like this.
.... oh yes and gun boats, must have more gun boats, to put the wind up 'johnny foreigner'. Bring back ship building on the Clyde, just the ticket, one in the eye for Sturgeon!
What a waste of time. Expect more of this kind of nostalgic crap heading into the jubilee
Don't forget dear Brits, this time next year:

We'll see how true that first line is but people will over hype it. Getting swabbed for covid was more annoying.
Hopefully King Boris will respond with a system of own to keep those pesky Europeans out.
He already has, EU citizens can't use their ID cards any more, so those who don't want to spend money on passports ( a lot of people) won't go to the UK.
If they are not coming with pockets bulging with euro's, it won't be a big loss then will it Paul ?
It will be a massive loss, like everything else with Brexit. They're going elsewhere in Europe where they don't need passports. Can spend the money on other things.If they are not coming with pockets bulging with euro's, it won't be a big loss then will it Paul ?
Oh sorry.... I thought you meant EU citizens were 'skint' and couldn't afford the passports!
Why would anyone pay for something they don't need elsewhere. Best part of 400 Euros for a family of four just so they can go to the UK. Unless people travel outside of Europe they don't have passports.
The local school had two trips arranged to the UK but under parent pressure, as they didn't want to pay for the passports, one is going to Ireland and the other to Spain. That's just our local village. Almost no-one has a passport.
I've heard a few similar stories. London school trips being moved to other european capitals because of this extra cost.
Getting more like the United States of Europe everyday then... I hear lots of US citizens don't have passports either
Bet if they were blue more would have 'em.Getting more like the United States of Europe everyday then... I hear lots of US citizens don't have passports either
For the record I don't have one either, I have my US passport and German ID card, anywhere I need to go that needs a passport I just use the US passport. Guess what color it is
They've never needed passports. ID cards are free and last 15 years. But they can travel to lots of countries, even overseas territories in South America, Asia and the Caribbean.Getting more like the United States of Europe everyday then... I hear lots of US citizens don't have passports either
Before Brexit - Quick pop over to the Uk for the weekend, flight just a few Euros, all that sort of thing disappearing.
First they want to get rid of the EU workers in the tourist industry, then they get rid of the tourists.
Thought you said Brexit wasn't working?
Well Farage is happy he doesn't have to travel on those buses listening to other people's conversationsThought you said Brexit wasn't working?
