What has the Queen got to do with the head of the EU :lolol: get over yourself:lolol: ,we left the EU in January they're just a fading memory ,it's been emotional for some

No one was suggesting that the Queen has anything to do with the head of the EU. The graphic simply compared the accountability of different aspects of the Inited Kingdom and the European Union, in the same way that others might compare the virtues of, say, Brighton & Hove Albion and Crystal Palace.

If you find the concept of comparison difficult to take aboard I'm sure someone will be able to explain further.

Bloody Worthing!

Ah, this is the illusion of 'taking back control'.

From the government website:

WTO rules state that the same trading terms must be applied to all WTO members, unless, for example, there is a trade agreement between 2 or more countries. This is known as Most Favoured Nation (MFN) treatment.

MFN means that the UK cannot offer better trading terms to one country and not to WTO members, unless, for example, it has a trade agreement.


Moral of the story: we need trade agreements.

Reality: we are throwing away the best trade agreement on the plant. We have nothing to replace it. We will be a 'third country' to the EU unless we get a deal. Tariff-free trade with our biggest trading partner will end.

Apparently in the vast majority of cases we can't because we haven't put any infrastructure, processes, people or systems in place to do it :facepalm:

And, under WTO Most favoured Nation rules, everything that is tariff free to the EU, must be made tariff free to the whole world :facepalm::facepalm:

Taking back Control ! It's almost as if you were so stupid that you had no understanding whatsoever of what you voted for :lolol:


And on the subject of Taking Back Control, behind the window today on the Brexit advent calendar is having to begin negotiations on whether we agree to abide by the European Court of Justice in order to keep the channel tunnel running.

Five months to go, and we dont have the 50k new customs officials yet, (with those already in place over 80,000), which is more than the entire EU commision for all the EU countries, who need to be trained, on all aspects, including the IT infrastructure that hasnt been created or tested yet. let alone rolled out. Scenes.

Ppf, turning stupid into an art form since 2016.

What you have posted, shows how you really dont understand the issue youre posting about. Impressive

Yes: there comes a point when the fundamental lack of understanding really hits home. And, even scarier, Ppf, on this occasion, is probably representative of Leavers. The overwhelming majority didn't have a clue of what Brexit involves other than through the lens of simplistic, deliberately misleading slogans.
