Consequences Of Brexit [Part 8] Read First Post Before Posting

[L00b 441]

I don't believe working and middle class Leavers echoing cabinet members' wishes to emulate Singapore for a post-Brexit model, know much about life in Singapore tbh.

 

It should be fun when they start living it

On the democracy index Singapore is 70th out of 167, where 80% of the population live in public housing.

 

Where you can't buy a car without a government supplied "Certificate of Entitlement".

 

Hmmmm, inspirational

The fist thing the government need to do is outlaw  unions. They have the numbers in the commons to do what they want, so it needs to happen .

I'm probably out of sync with all these tags that some are levying on others, but I did hear a new one (to me, anyway) last night on the radio, actually concerning "IndyRef2". (God help us!)

They appear to have much to lose? 

Well, well, well. Rumours now circulating that Cummings has told the papers not to use the word Brexit after Feb 1. Then they plan to ask for an extension to the transition for trade talks.

 

i..e he plans to use the electorate's ignorance against them, again, to convince them "Brexit was done".  Then they can spend years and years negotiating whilst looking like they did what was asked.

Re: trade negotiations with USA.

Genuine question.
