Which bit of wanting to end freedom of movement did Daltrey not understand? Still, as he and friend-to-all-the-stars Jools are bound to be best buddies it's not surprising Roge was clueless about Brexit...🤓

The UK may well join in an agreement with the successor to the EU but we would never rejoin the dictatorship....... all we ever wanted was a Common Market.   We have to wait for the demise of the EU and the Euro first. 

I used to have a favorite joke Paul when talking to my European counterparts about the UK. It highlighted the banality of the 'cause' as oft exemplified by you.

All you had to do to keep the Brits happy was call the Euro the Pound. No other changes needed.

What a shame the far right wing idiot is upset.

He couldn't give a monkeys about anyone else. He has spent much of his later life telling us of his working class background but contradicting with views on women, immigration and the EU.

Funny how Paul brings up about persecution about religion when the UK is not against persecuting Communists and Socialists. And the US goes into Defcon 1 about it.

As we should. But perhaps we should have done that four years ago before Trump blew up the prior agreement... and no the EU was not stopping us. This isn't a solution to leaving the EU Common Market though.

Small business update.

"Shipping / Selling to the EU - Update

Since the UK has left the EU on 31st December 2020, lots of regulations and changes have affected exporting to the EU. This Including : Increased Shipping Costs, Customs Paperwork, Import Taxes, VAT and Handling Charges which will all affect the total price you will need to pay before the orders arrive at your door. Plus COVID 19 Lockdown Delays on shipping. Due to this, we feel it is not currently practical to ship to EU Countries. This decision has not been taken lightly and we are unhappy."

[Surfer 1,547]

Quite. No sunny uplands eh? Reality hurts -

So, Brexit did help the UK go its own way on vaccines..... exactly as I stated yesterday ....  😎🤗

 

""BRITAIN'S rapid rollout of coronavirus vaccines is thanks to the decision to reject the EU's bureaucratic jabs programme, Whitehall insiders say.

Brexit gave Britain the opportunity to implement its own strategy on vaccinations, those working behind the scenes have admitted. The UK has immunised more than four million people to date, far more than any EU country.

While it would have technically been possible to use emergency powers to approve medical use of the Pfizer and Oxford University jabs while in the EU, the UK would have been forced to join bloc's vaccine purchase programme.

"Whether you agree or disagree with the decision to leave the EU, if we were still a member state we wouldn’t be this far ahead”, one insider said.

“At the time, a lot of people said it was madness.

"They said it was putting Brexit over lives."

Your stupidity really does know no bounds - we did use emergency powers to approve medical use of the Pfizer jabs whilst still in the EU, i.e. within the transition period. Any other EU country could have done the same, and indeed several others did consider that option but they all very sensibly rejected the option in favour of the the full approval process.

There was never the slightest chance of us being 'forced' to join the EU vaccine purchase program - we were offered the chance of joining many months ago, long before the approvals happened and we said no thanks - simple as.

You continue to spout absolute b*ll**** which is hardly surprisingly if you get your info from a rag like the Express. Since you seem to enjoy reading comics then I suggest a switch to the Beano which I think you'll find is far more entertaining and also more informative on current affairs than the Express 🤣

Who to believe? The ****-poor rabid excuse of a newspaper The Express, or the Chief Executive of the MHRA (Dr June Raine) who was actually responsible for licensing the roll out of the vaccine. Gosh that's a tough one. Idiot!

[horsefly 4,273]

I expect if you can actually tolerate reading the Express, there'll be an article in there somewhere that claims princess Diana was actually the person responsible for rolling out the vaccine.

poor mouse brain, perhaps he should climb a tree to see if he can watch games at CR

perhaps the UK should leave the UN or Nato as well

we could all go back to dial up internet and metered landlines, scrap the Oyster card and pay for each journey separately

whereas it is in the UK's interest to have the above functioning smoothly and efficiently

much as an argument could be made for returning back to having a separate ticket for each journey in London, however it would be prohibitive in rime, cost and efficiency, the latter being what the stupidity if brexit is already imposing on UK trade

the reality is swindos gripe as with the rest of the bigots is one of racist thinking, that's why he is utterly clueless about any of this, because the guff he posts up is merely a means of hiding his true intent, which is

 a hatred of others because of where they were born, what colour their skin is or what religion they follow

The direct paperwork costs to business alone were estimated at £7Bn per year. I know, I'm weathering them at present. Crazy OP numbers needed, costs, delay.

And that is just the beginning as this stupidity seeps into every pore of UK trade and society

"It comes as farmers warned that reductions in EU food imports may force the UK to accept sub-standard supplies from other parts of the world just to feed the population. The National Farmers Union said post-Brexit supply problems “are going to get bigger”.

"Reductions in EU food imports caused by Brexit red tape may force the government to accept sub-standard supplies from other parts of the world just to feed the UK population, farmers have warned.

National Farmers Union official Nick von Westerholz rejected Boris Johnson’s claim that new barriers to trade from his EU deal amount to no more than “teething problems”, telling a Lords committee on Wednesday: “They may be bumps in the road now, but they are going to get bigger.”

He added: “The one thing that worries me is, if we do see a structural decrease in imports from the EU …We may just need to get hold of food wherever we can at whatever cost.”

Couple that knowledge from the farmers, with the Tories proposals to cut wages and working conditions, then fact in that last night Tory MPs voted against protecting the NHS and you can see where the warnings about the true intent behind brexit is already being exposed.

They don't give a sht about the cretins who were stupid enough to swallow their lies. And for the remnants, the rag bag of bigots who refuse to accept that 'master' has sold them down the river I say,  look at the evidence. Listen to those who are suffering - fishermen, hauliers, farmers, shop keepers, small businesses, and so many who have worked hard and are the backbone of this country thrown under a bus as their so called 'betters' scramble to divide up the carcass.

As in the US the thickos are now coming to realise they were, and are nothing more than useful idiots who are of no more use. Stupid hill billies now facing long jail sentences because of their stupidity. Farmers who stupidly stuck huge LEAVE posters in their fields and the fishing industry who kept their eyes and ears closed, as they believed their betters wouldn't lie to them

more useful idiots who are no longer of any use

Liz Truss admits Brexit contributed to food shortages, contradicting Cabinet colleague

 

Ms Truss joined Ireland’s foreign affairs minister, Simon Covey, in acknowledging the UK’s departure from the EU played a part in the disruption, putting her at odds with Mr Lewis, the Northern Ireland secretary, who has said disruption caused by coronavirus before Christmas is solely responsible for the shortages of some food products and is "nothing to do with leaving the EU".

But Mr Coveney told ITV's Peston: "I don't think it's only to do with Covid-19, though certainly that doesn't help.

"The supermarket shelves were full before Christmas and there are some issues now in terms of supply chains. So that's clearly a Brexit issue and it's part of the reality of the United Kingdom now being outside not only the European Union but of the customs union and the single market as well.
