keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted January 24, 2021 4 hours ago, Well b back said: Followed by Wales and Ireland I guess. I have always been against this happening, but we really have sleep walked into it and I fully understand why this is now more likely to happen than ever before. I have always advocated one Ireland WBB. Partition was never going to solve the real issue of the need for British colonialism to be pegged back. There is a geographical incentive for Scotland and Wales to be part of the UK as much as an economical one. One of the reasons I chose remain was the ludicrous ideas from Brexiteers that we should leave a union we had been in for forty years (bellyaching for a lot of it) because of sovereignty and the amount of money we pay in. Yet these people wanted us to retain the UK, denying the other nations sovereignty and subsidising their subjects far more than the English.

benchwarmer 625 Posted January 24, 2021 (edited) BBC Business reports that some container ships have stopped docking at Felixstowe but unload UK-bound containers at Antwerp to be trucked across by ferry and tunnel. This is apparently due to a bottleneck at Felixstowe caused by red tape; the container business depends on being in and out of most ports in less than 24 hours and that's not happening at present. A very large number of empty containers are waiting at Felixstowe to be returned to the far east, and the knock-on effect is that the cost of hiring a container has gone through the roof. They say that covid-related holdups are also a factor, but Brexit means that it's a double whammy for the UK.

Bill 1,788 Posted January 24, 2021 I think this will be a line taken by many Brexiteers "you know we are stupid, why didn't you stop us" the answer there being that you denied being stupid and went out of your way NOT to listen 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill 1,788 Posted January 24, 2021 As stated we have only just started with the harm this wrecking ball of stupidity is going to do the not only the UK economy, but its people, as well''Mastercard will increase fees more than fivefold when a British shopper uses a debit or credit card to buy from an EU-based company, sparking alarm among companies that rely on online payments and concern among MPs over higher consumer prices." brought about by thick as sht brexiteers who did not like the naughty EU .... The EU introduced a cap in 2015 after concerns the hidden fees were leading to hundreds of millions of euros in costs for companies and higher prices for consumers.' "After the new rules were brought in 2015, the commission found that merchants saved about €1.2bn, with estimated overall annual consumer cost savings of between €864m and €1.9bn." Boo, the EU saving its people money, yet again ''Enough with that, we are Brexit thickos and we will pay higher costs. And anyway no one told us about this .... baa baa " err, actually they did ''MPs warned in 2019 that higher interchange fees could be passed on to UK businesses and consumers.

There are a few teams in England that play in Wales As far as I know, because they are 2 different associations, there is no promotion/relegation between England and Wales The Welsh teams that play in the English system do so because there was no Welsh leagues when they formed I guess there is no barrier to a team applying to join a league in a different association, subject to conditions, like Gretna did 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nevermind, neoliberalism has had it 159 Posted January 25, 2021 Frau Merkel is responsible for the anti foreigner jingoism by the likes of Farrage and instigated this referendum? How daft can one get to blame free trade market leaders, who look after the 26 members, for Brexit. England has shot itself in the foot, NI will have a unifying referendum within five years. Scotland despite its alleged corrupt and conspiring leader, she looked terrible last night, will have another referendum, despite not needing one at all, to buy some more time for the long grass, and Wales is also reconsidering joining the EU. The Tories took 11 years to bust the union, and today's talk of constitutional reform, i.e. not the house of Lords or Westminster, is an eyewash if anything.

A Load of Squit 5,170 Posted January 25, 2021 A good news story from the Express. https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/1388574/Brexit-news-EU-Parliament-UK-Rejoin-MEP-outreach-programme-latest “UK schools will also be able to participate in Euroscola, an immersive experience that takes place in the Chamber of the European Parliament in Strasbourg, allowing secondary school students to learn about European integration by experiencing it first-hand. “UK schools can also take part in the European Parliament Ambassador Schools Programme.” An internal document, seen by this website, shows the bloc is preparing to target the “younger generation” in the UK because of perceived support for the Brussels project. According to the blueprint, the European Parliament will maintain its office in London to orchestrate the spread of pro-EU propaganda across the country. The secretive Bureau, of powerful MEPs, have decided to “maintain its presence in the UK, notably through the retention of the London Office”. 😀 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
