[Politics] Brexit

[smiler]

It will ultimately be the Tories that take us back in, there will do anything in the future to regain power

Sounds like a job for Boris

But....

'With the various raids and arrests taking place in Belgium, including the arrest of the vice president of the European Parliament, brexiteers are claiming that this is proof that the EU is corrupt. In actual fact, it is evident that they are not. A corrupt system would have blocked police investigations and covered up the corruption. Speaking of which, how come investigations have been blocked into government corruption in the UK?'

'In the EU, corrupt politicians go to jail. In the UK, corrupt politicians go to the House of Lords'.

The UK government is out of cash, wonder why?​

Brexomertà: what they won’t say about our national disaster

Britain can no longer avoid the blindingly obvious. But our leaders seem intent on doing so

So if they hadn’t been caught, it wouldn’t have been corruption?

I am not sure what your rhetorical question is suggesting here......

This country made a massive mistake years ago in not forging a tripartite alliance with France and Germany. The three dominant economic forces in Northern Europe would have been a powerhouse union.

This country made a massive mistake years ago in not forging a tripartite alliance with France and Germany. The three dominant economic forces in Northern Europe would have been a powerhouse union.

The three dominant economic forces in Northern Europe spent the last 40 years building and benefiting from a powerhouse Union. Then you decided to campaign on NSC and vote for Farage and Johnson's half baked idea, that you thought sounded a lot better, despite all evidence to the contrary

have the sunlit uplands appearred on your sat nav yet?

For perspective, to pay nurses what they deserve would cost 1.3bn

The Tories and Labour are saying one thing on Brexit and doing another​

Brexit is proving even worse for the UK economy than the official forecast of a 4 per cent hit to GDP over 15 years. It’s already reached 5.5 per cent, according to a study by the Centre for European Reform (CER) think tank. Significantly, a disappearing Covid effect no longer masks the damage of leaving the EU. John Springford, the CER’s deputy director, said it was now clear that the difference between Britain’s sluggish performance compared to similar economies was down to Brexit rather than the pandemic.

So both the Tory and Labour leaders say one thing about Brexit in public and do another in private. Behind closed doors, they now recognise the damage is irrefutable but cannot spell it out in public – Sunak because he was a Leaver and cannot admit Brexit was a mistake, Starmer because he thought it was a mistake all along but doesn’t want to remind Leave supporters whose votes he needs.

Whisper it, but from the article it appears that both are now trying to find ways of reestablishing some of what we threw away 6 years ago, but daren't say it out loud for fear of Brexit voters throwing their toys out the pram

And so the idiocy continues

I see that due to Brexit, The Environment Agency has been able to push back the date by which they aim to have UK waterways in good health by a few years. 36 years in fact, not 3 to 6 years, THIRTY-SIX YEARS.

Target date for cleaning up waterways in England is moved back by 36 years

In terms of awful Christmas presents, it’s up there with King Herod’s infanticide campaign.

Emperor Augustus’ wise words about King Herod are equally true about Johnson:
'It’s better to be Herod’s pig than his son.'"

Could it be because we are prepared to sacrifice standards in order to desperately try to make money in any way in order to prove that Brexit is some kind of success ?
