I get the feeling the UK is going to price and tax itself out of existance before much longer.

Ahh brexit bonuses keep on coming ..!

The government’s own figures for the next fifteen years. !

all the while bein lorded over by Boris’s torys

 

Yeah, but sovereignty!

 

Taking back control of our borders...

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-59257107

Now we can't send them back to France, clearly France no longer has a motivation to stop them crossing!

 

I still don't get why all these people from hot countries want to go to the cold, miserable, wet, rainy UK in the first place, surely Spain, Italy and the south of France are much more appealing.

 

It's just to annoy the gammons

 

It does make me wonder what is so bad about France that makes them want to come here!

Paris syndrome surely can't trump Saturday shopping in the local Asda

 

Our benifits system apparently favouring asylum seekers rather than our own, yes i know people here manipulate the system to thier own ends.

 

Yet Radio two's lunch segment yesterday has streams of people calling in claiming hardships caused by Tory benefit cuts. 🤷‍♂️

 

What benefits ?

( you dont quallify for benefits without citizenship )

 

Another Brexit win!

https://www.theverge.com/2021/11/17/...ernatives-fees

 

hardly, just Bozo playing the system (again) and there is no way he's paying less fees for AMEX than VISA and yet AMEX is fine............

if he's all against these fees then why do they still charge such extortionate fees to small business to be on their platform??
those fees he's is earning will be far higher than e is paying out!!!!

 

Northern Powerhouse ha

What was the reason they voted for Boris ??

How much was the difference for new corvette , usa v here ??!!

another much heralded brexit bonus



lol

 

It's always been like that when trying to import stuff from the USA (try importing modified car parts!).

Not sure if TTIP would have addressed this.

 

Well it’s not going now !


I thought one of the brexit bonuses was to have cheaper trade with the US

 

No, no, no! The only Brexit benefit is replacing all those nasty expensive EU workers who were legally free to come and work in the UK with entitlement to holidays and sick pay, with illegal clandestines arriving in little boats who can then work for free to pay off their trafficking costs and have zero workers rights - clearly far better for the UK economy!

...oh and the blue passports are also a welcome bonus!

Well done long lib Dems !

Tory party sleaze same old same old

the failure that is brexit

 

Wow 34% swing! Didn't see that one coming, but clear the people have had enough of these self serving toffs!

 

So trade deal with Australia is now done!
https://www.bbc.com/news/business-59690080

The British farming industry has been sent to the slaughter house in order to do a deal worth a whopping 0.08% to UK GDP!

Given leaving the EU costs an estimated 4% of UK GDP, we're going to need another 50 Australia deals just to counter the effect of leaving the EU.

Those sunlit uplands with all the Brexit benefits don't look likely to appear on the horizon any time soon!

 

Edited for accuracy

 

The UK government has been wanting to shift its dirty farming overseas for quite some time. Even paying off old farmers to retire.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-57149744

The same happened in heavy industry and manufacturing (but without the payoffs). Incentives removed, allowed to be eroded by foreign competitors and no protection from home markets flooded by imports that are either underpriced and/or undertaxed. Succesive UK governments have only ever been interested in protecting the financial sectors and whatever props them up (currently housing).

Its also probably hoping that shrinkage of farming will unlock land for development and/allow retired land to be returned to wild land: https://www.theguardian.com/environm...climate-crisis

Of course nobody told the experts that farmland soil has been so over farmed despite rotation due to being farmed for generations going back to medieval times as strip farming under the open field system, it will take many decades for any real biodiversity to return; All you'll likely get is just a load of weak Ashes prone to dieback and Sycamore weeds sprouting everywhere. So, more housing it is then!

 

what's hilarious is that in N Shropshire (a by-election so all caveats apply) the electorate voted in someone who campaigned in 2019 on a platform of revoke

Just parse that for 10 seconds

 

After negotiating a terrible Brexit deal and failing to get any improvements to the NI protocol which currently highlights how NI is better if within the EU customs union and outside the UK, Lord Frost has now resigned from government!

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-59714241

Not looking good for Boris's leadership!

 

Apart from thick brexity c"nts like Andy97 and Warrenm2 does anyone really believe in the **** show that is Brexit

I don't see much defending of it from these fvcking idiots any more

 

https://www.ft.com/content/c6ee4ce2-...f-c50566529b5e



0.08 percent better off cos our Aus deal though !

 

Their silence is deafening! 🙉
Maybe it's that they didn't get the Brexit they voted for (even though the Brexit they wanted was not specified on the voting form and Brexit means Brexit)

 

Oooooops, Covid and Brexit all rolled into one.

I am also currently in 14 days quarantine in Germany after returning from a business trip to the UK even though I am double jabbed and produced a negative test from an oficial clinic. Another Brexit success story.
