Car Boot   10 #373 Posted June 7, 2020 Working class struggle brought about Brexit.  The voices of the workers, the underclass, the vulnerable and disadvantaged combined to drown out the voices of the rich establishment - who took us into the European trading bloc to enrich themselves further, at our expense.

Couldn't agree more.  Ted Heath seemed to have done alright out of it. Ironically, all brought about by the death of a foreigner? Sad day for the UK when de Gaulle died.  de Gaulle appeared to realise early on, that we'd never be truly, full paid up members, buying into the idea.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Well you should have even more support over the next few years. There will be many more vulnerable ,disadvantaged in the underclass,plus of course out of work workers.

Mister Gee   823 #377 Posted June 7, 2020 (edited) What happened to Boris Johnson's 'oven-ready' Brexit deal that we were told 'was ready to go' when he was seeking re-election? You know - the one that was just like a pie - that could be slammed in an oven.  Edited June 7, 2020 by Mister Gee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Rumour has it, that Johnson wants to reopen it/renegotiate it.  If the UK is willing to make more concessions, there is every chance that Barnier will accomodate the notion.  Topical and timely reminder: there is now less than 6 months to the end of the transition period.
