Consequences Of Brexit [Part 9] Read First Post Before Posting

Recommended Posts

Funniest thing I seen all week.  The reports of a Tweet put out by pathetic arch-Remainer, Lord Adonis.  "Get rid of Boris, get rid of Brexit." 

 

If someone see's him, please give his head a wobble & then explain what a democratic vote means.  Or will the rest of the dwindling band of Remainers be hopeful as his Lordship?   What an idiot!

Could you name us some Brexit successes please ?

 

Lord knows we’ve been waiting long enough

Democracy didn't end on 5th June 1975 and people were perfectly within their democratic rights to continue arguing we shouldn't be in the EC. Neither did it end on 23 June 2016 and people are still perfectly within their democratic rights to argue we shouldn't have left the EU. Seems it's you who need the lessons in our democracy.

 

Meanwhile, perhaps the government should really get brexit done. Claiming they have whilst not having a viable solution to the most difficult bit doesn't really count.

The problem is no solution is ever going to be good enough for the British public.

 

We voted out, we've left.  We voted the Torys in, they made the deals.

We got exactly what we voted for.

The problem is, that a good year on from actual Brexit, and 6 years on from the referendum promises, it keeps getting worse and worse for those who pay for it all.


One in three UK business owners fear their company won’t exist anymore in a year as Brexit onslaught intensifies


‘Twas always thus, which no amount of ‘getting behind Brexit’ could ever change, because such is international trade outside the Single Market, in all its mind-numbing minutiae of red tape’d rules and regs.

 Maybe come back in a year and we will see how or whether it pans out.

What’s “it”? How or whether what pans out?

 

On whether the NTBs will continue to impact UK businesses negatively or not, there’s no point, because they will continue to do so - whatever the UK does by then, short of rejoining the EU (-which won’t happen in a month of Sundays).
 

The UK does not set customs and procedures, no more than the US, China and the EU does.
 

The country’s status relative to each trading partner country, determines how thick or thin the NTBs with that country are: that’s what FTAs are all about, why there are ‘grades’ of FTA (FTA, DCFTA, group membership à la NAFTA/CPTPP/EFTA) and why SM membership is the Rolls Royce of FTAs for eligible countries.
 

And in terms of the UK ‘doing’ insofar as trade with the EU is concerned, then with respect to the 80 seat majority currently enjoyed by the Tories and the political weight which the ‘ultras’ are still wielding, Truss is just as snookered as Frost was, and Raab before him, and Davis before him.

Whether the one in three businesses actually cease to exist in a years time as predicted in that article.

Would one in five be a ‘win’, somehow?

Brexit is still going well. No shortages to report.  Guest ales in Wetherspoons are still only £1.99 a pint and Ruddles Best is on sale at only 99p a pint which was the price of beer in the 1980's.  It's a shame we never left the EU earlier and the democratic result wasn't implemented early.

Ruddles is brewed in Rutland, England

In October 2021 Clive Watson, executive chairman of the City Pub Group, said that the price of a pint of beer in the UK could rise by as much as 30p in the coming months to allow companies to cover an increase in minimum wage, rising input costs and a return to 20% VAT.

So you best get drinking all you can for 99p per pint.

I think it’s far funnier that there are those in the Conservative party who continue to back Johnson because he delivered Brexit.

Ruddles hasn't been brewed in Rutland for many years. It ceased to be an independent company in the mid 1980's and the brewery closed in the 90's, for the past 20 years or so beers of the same name but tasting nothing like have been brewed by Greene King in Bury St Edmonds.
