[Politics] Brexit

[birthofanorange]

I thought that Lightly Baked got a ban then spat his dummy and left ?

It's only a matter of time - things like that can't help themselves.

To be filed under 'Yet More Brexit Downsides'. Doubtless JCFG will know better.

You only started championing the Union WHEN you could associate its demise with Brexit!

I think you are finally starting to realise Brexit is putting our own Union in peril. You voted for a government that put customs borders up within it and has failed to adopted a 4 nation approach during the Brexit process.

The prospect of this was discussed before the vote in 2016 and Brexiters dismissed it as project fear. You do need to take some responsibility and not pretend this has come out of nowhere

"Treasury says it has 'no plans' to lower VAT on energy bills, despite promises to scrap the tax after Brexit"


Is this one of those positives we've been waiting for?

Tale of the Wine Importer, what a mess....

Over the past 15 days I have not only been running my company as normal but I have been faced with largest threat to its future since it began in 1992. This is #Brexit & here is my thread on just how bad things are getting....

Once a thick (and I mean really thick) racist, always a thick racist.

No idea why you bother, tbh.

It's almost like there has been a global pandemic causing immense economic damage causing governments across the world to reassess their commitments.

Would you regard regaining full control of setting tax rates meaning we can finally abolish the tampon tax as a positive?

Ireland abolished its tampon tax on 1st January 2020, and is still an EU country.

But Ireland aren't an independent country, how can this be possible?

*sigh* As I explained to you last time Ireland had zero rate before the EU brought in the vat restrictions. All other EU countries are still prevented from lowering the rate.

Try to stay on topic please with simple facts about what the deal is and it's consequences (like your first line).

There are a few posters desperately trying to get this thread off topic or moved elsewhere. They don't need help.

Thanks

With respect, piss off.

It was always easy for Tory critics of the EU to blame the EU for " Imposing " various rules and regs while wanting/needing to impose them anyway ! We usually always had the option to opt out of most legislation anyway, so, it was handy to blame the Bogeyman EU and just shrug and say " It's not us, its them ".

The government will have no one else to blame when the alleged benefits of leaving fail to materialise, and thanks to the Covid crisis, they are going to have to try to claw back £billions in order to try to become the party of " Fiscal Probity" again. So, expect plenty of misery as we remain shackled, this time to Tory policies that we are unable to opt out of.

Incorrect, I'm afraid. There are around 66.8m UK citizens, and in the region of 46.6m were eligible and registered to vote in the EU referendum. 17,410,742 voted to leave. That's 26% of UK citizens and 37.4% of the electorate. Neither of those figures represents a majority. However, a small majority of those who actually voted put a cross in the leave box.

Happy to help.

Interesting figures.

So if 26% of UK citizens and 37.4% of the electorate voted to leave, how many voted to remain?

I notice most of the usernames below I have on ignore have been quite active since the end of transition. I wonder what it is I'm actually missing out on? Could it be sensible, substantive discussion accentuating the positives of Brexit with credible explanations on how problems and nuances can be practically and proactively overcome? Or is it just inane sneering, innocuous insults (accusing someone of being a paedophile not withstanding) straw clutching, whataboutery, excitable interminable regurgitation of 3 word soundbites with no substance coupled with links to The Daily Express, The Daily Telegraph, Guido Fawkes and Youtube?

On balance and looking at those usernames again, I suspect it's probably the latter. Never mind.

Unfortunately he won’t, all the time there’s breath in his lungs he will always be lurking around here ready to put people straight and tell them what to do!

Genuine question about the Brexit deal

Interesting figures.

Apparently 36.6% of the electorate, that could be bothered to vote.
