Brexited | the worst threads live the longest

Do you think there will be a Deal or No Deal?

  • Total voters
    194
  • Poll closed .
What's with this constant blaming and shaming?
I would have expected a polite "Thank you for the fish"
 
So the GBP is on the highest point of the last 5 years vs EUR. How this translates on the Brexit narrative?
 
Not sure how he can lecture the EU about corruption and waste given Track and Trace and the procurement scandals.

DOMINIC SANDBROOK: I once feared Brexit would tear people apart - but after Covid-19 it may be what saves our divided nation
If Scotland voted to leave tomorrow, it would find itself outside both the EU and the United Kingdom, with no viable currency, colossal debts and a hard border from the Solway Firth to the North Sea. By contrast, if we make a success of our future outside the EU, Britishness will seem a much more attractive proposition.

What's more, all successful nations need something to define themselves against. As the years pass, the EU leviathan — with frequent riots and violent protests in Paris and Amsterdam, authoritarian regimes in Budapest and Warsaw, rows about borders and migrants and scandals about corruption and waste — may well become an effective Aunt Sally.

And, if I actually had wings I could be a real fecking pigeon.

This lot are either "jam tomorrow" feckheads or they're "that fire burning down that house right now isn't actually a fire burning down that house right now" feckheads.

Yes, this is surprising for me too. Maybe the questionmarks for the Eurozone are bigger than expected? Greece, Italy and Spain are still moving nowhere. Turkish economy could be also a negative influence on Eurozone?
It has to be said, Biris' scheme to get young talents from overseas is economically sound and it works far better than comparable schemes in the EU, which are far too slow.

We are at 1.20 euros to a pound I think

We were also here at the middle of Feb 2020... and had falled below 1.10 by middle of march

I guess lets see if it can hold this value for a while

Everything in the EU is slow, when you have too many people with different opinions in the meeting room, this alway

But, again, these are the decisions of the countries who can implement these measures at their own will. Nothing to do with the actual EU.

In Germany we have a governmental agency who is responsible for work visas or blue visas (aiming at foreign talent), but 99% of their workload is related to (illegal) immigrants, refugees and migrants who actually live in Germany. But this is a reflection of the political will - so I guess it's not just a coincidence that the process is so lame. The toughest process I have come across is btw in Switzerland, not an EU member as well.

So, this is not down to the EU. The UK could have set up that scheme while in the EU.
 
Beginning to think this might have been a bad idea.
 
my old man over Christmas; "every single one of those Brexit doom predictions turned out wrong didn't they!?"

the absolute twat
 
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.

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.

This would have made a classic thread
 
Did they ever pay royalities when copying all the laws in the first place?
 
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

Now their precious man of the people Moggy is in charge, the benefits will come rolling in.
 
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.

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.
