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

[L00b 441]

The British Investment Minister doesn’t seem to have received, nor read the “Global Britain” memo.

 

 

quoted in thread: in a further snub, the UK Minister recommends Stephan Weil, the elected First Minister of one of Germany's largest states for most of the last decade, to contact local diplomatic staff 'for any future discussions’

 

Deary, deary me 🙄

 

Fast going back to that ‘nation of shopkeepers’, which DeGaulle was keen to keep out of the EEC. Works out fine for Leavers, I suppose.

Liz currently talking up her trade-deal experience...

 

...slight problem, the deals she's presided over have disadvantaged the UK

 

 

UK's Truss was warned of blow to food sector under Australia and New Zealand trade deals:

"Conservative leadership hopeful Liz Truss was given detailed warnings by her own officials in 2020 that post-Brexit trade pacts with Australia and New Zealand would shrink the country's farming and food sectors, newly obtained government figures reveal."

Truss is one of the ultra free marketers who wrote Britannia Unchained. Getting rid of high standards is her aim, not a failure. She wants the UK to compete on a low wage/low regulation basis.

Things don't seem to be going too well for the EU

 

"EU admits humiliating defeat as exports from Brexit Britain to bloc soar"

On Friday, the EU Commission released a new report on the bloc’s trade statistics, which revealed that in the first five months of this year, Britain’s exports to the EU soared by 58.8 percent, compared to the previous Jan-May period last year. The Eurostat figures revealed that in May alone, the EU recorded a €35billion (£29.8billion) trade deficit, while the UK’s exports to the bloc were up by 69.9 percent."

Pick a low point of the depths of the pandemic and lockdowns compared to now, UK exports have gone up...

 

...who knew!

 

So, the UK just reached a milestone Germany passed in early 2021, the Brexit effect...

And what that also means is that we have empty shelves and food rotting in the fields because we can't get the goods or the people from Europe.

We have people from  Europe arriving daily in dinghies, where are the empty shelves.

[L00b 441]

Has it occurred to anyone yet, that restoring safe legal routes of immigration, would severely curtail that cross-Channel dinghy activity?

 

Or is it more likely still the case of “don’t want those brown skinned Muslims over here”?

 

I’m Iooking at your future PM Penny Mordaunt’s recent doubling down on her “Turkey is joining the EU and we don’t have a veto” outright lies of the referendum campaign 6 years ago, so don’t mind me calling a spade a spade.

 

As for the EU doing bad economically, and fears over its largest economy Germany under Russia’s blackmail…irrespective of putting red tops’ disinformation right or not, has it occurred to anyone yet, that the EU going down economically, means the UK going down economically too?

The only way to stop the UK being affected by Turkey joining the EU was by leaving the EU.  David Cameron had supported Turkey joining the EU.  What Penny Mordaunt stated was correct and her comments have been taken out of context. 

So had Boris Johnson and, on the topic of Tories and Turkey’s accession, oh look:

 

 

Is your head exploding yet? 🤣
 

Penny Mordaunt lied about Turkey’s impending accession to the EU in 2016 and the UK had a veto on Turkey joining, like every other EU member state.

https://www.bbc.com/news/62185058

 

Put aside the fact that, in 2016, Turkey had barely completed 1 out of 35 benchmarks to qualify for EU accession, which it was -and still is now- light years away from completing.

 

I’m not surprised at your fawning over another proven liar for succeeding the current proven liar in no.10. But what of her stated intent to get Brexit “re-done”? I thought it was “done” already 🤪🙄

Indeed... the No.1 proponent of Turkey Joining the EU, throughout his entire political career... was one Boris Johnson...

 

...consistently pushed, lobbied and supported it... before, during and after the referendum:

 

Boris Johnson says Britain will now help Turkey join EU despite using prospect to help win referendum:

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/09/27/boris-johnson-says-britain-will-now-help-turkey-join-eu-despite/

 

Of course, after the vote:

 

Boris Johnson falsely claims he ‘didn’t say anything about Turkey’ in the referendum campaign:

"Cause and effect" is not a leave voter thing...

In the lead up to the referendum she lied when she claimed the UK didn't have a veto to Turkey joining the EU and on yesterday's BBC Sunday politics programme she claimed she was right to lie to the public about us having a veto because we wouldn't have used it.
