[Politics] Brexit

Harry Wilson's tackle said:

The left (and I assume you mean extreme left, like Corbyn) are anti EU. I'm a labour party member and I've moved on, and share your concerns over Covid. The extreme left are as irrelevant as the extreme right

This doesn't mean people can't ask where the £350 million a day went, and why our control of our borders is now far worse than before we left the EU, though. All fair questions. I expect to see some Brexit bonus. What we have got so far is a bit like 5p off Black Forest Gateau at Iceland. This is a criticism of the Boris gang rather than any argument about the EU itself - we can all see that that horse has bolted

If you want to bash 'the left' it would be helpful to know exactly who you mean by 'left' and what it is thay are saying. And please don't post some weird fake news youtube link. Mainstream people, please .

The NFU advised not to vote for Brexit and the farmers vote was split along national lines 52/48

It's a shame they didn't go to Downing Street with slurry to spread around.

So, a year on from 'getting brexit done' here comes the next series of kicks in the bollox for British companies in less than a month's time

A third of UK importers not ready for full Brexit customs checks

Nearly a third of British companies that import goods from the EU are “not at all prepared” for full post-Brexit customs checks, according to a survey of business leaders, sparking fears of increased congestion at ports and worsening supply chain disruption.

From 1 January 2022, companies that import goods will no longer be able to take advantage of a temporary six-month grace period allowing them to delay making customs declarations to HMRC and paying any tariffs due. Instead, they will have to do so immediately. Three in 10 of the leaders of firms that import from the EU polled by the Institute of Directors (IoD) said they were not at all prepared for the change, with 37% of small businesses and nearly a quarter of large ones saying they were not ready.

Kitty Ussher, chief economist at the IoD, said: “In just three weeks’ time, significant changes to our customs arrangements are going to be introduced, for which a large portion of businesses are either unprepared or simply unaware. “This will exacerbate existing supply chain problems, leading to further congestion at ports, as well as extra costs from accidental non-compliance for many businesses.

Can you imagine what we would be facing had Johnson and his mob not 'Got Brexit Done'

And no nearer any solutions to the Northern Ireland Protocol or securing our borders with any import controls

He”s too busy counting his fingers & toes working out how many Omicron patients are in hospitals at the moment. In one interview he said 9, then a few minutes later he said 25.
A later interview he said 10.

A Labour MP got slated two or three years ago for muddling her figures up. Our useless wet lettuce press aren’t bothered.

Dover/Calais, sunbathing whilst Afghanistan burned, said the sea was shut and can’t count.

Two or three years ago I pointed out that EU citizens including spouses were having difficulties with getting their Settled status.

I was mocked by the usual suspects on here, telling me it was so easy and that I was wrong to highlight the difficulties.
Well, here we are.
