Magilla 510 #2797 Posted April 27, 2021 1 hour ago, Mister M said: Food and Drink Federation pleads with Boris Johnson to ‘urgently’ restart talks to resolve the crisis. Zero chance. This is what leaving with "no regulatory alignment" means, it's the new normal. It is not solvable without giving up some of that sovereignty.

GabrielC 56 #2798 Posted April 27, 2021 I watch an YouTube channel called ' A Different Bias' the creator uploads daily videos which cover Brexit and it's effects also the government in general. I recommend his channel for an more in depth view on the Brexit saga. I do think the UK or what is left of it will rejoin the Single Market and Custom Union in time but unlikely while we have this far right government in power but an more enlightened government in the future. The EU is not going away as much has some would wish. By then the economic damage will go deep it will take decades to sort out all because a few MPs had an illogical view of the EU and failing to understand that by working together we are strong work alone your fed to the wolves.

The DUP might be stupid enough to have been tricked by Brexiter lies into supporting a NI damaging/Irish reunion hastening Brexit but they're not stupid enough to hand back the bribe they were given for supporting it. They are already in enough trouble with their own voters as it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

The Torys utterly ruined her, and rightfully so. The DUP clearly didn't care one bit about the future of NI, their one and only priority is pathetic point scoring against Sinn Fein. Whats just as funny is they could well have started NI on the path to rejoining ROI. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
trastrick 866 #2805 Posted April 30, 2021 Reading threough this thread was certainly enlightening. Classic Left/Right bantering. I see folks wishing Britain to be an Independent Sovereign country being called racist, but once, not too long ago, such people were hailed as heroes, fighting against German hegemoney. I'm a big admirer of Einstein who engaged in Thought Experiments. I wonder what if our heroes had been defeated, and we were all speaking mandatory German. Would German Nationals face bureaucratic barriers for freedom of movement in Britain? Makes you wonder who actually "won" the War.

They didn't do it alone, they did it in partnership, which is why many of those who did that fighting (who were still alive) lamented the stupidity of Brexit.

As she said & she aught to know, they are two separate issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
