Reduced to trolling on this account now :lolol: You seem to have 'mistakenly' edited my post before you quoted it again (old habits obviously die hard) so here's the bit you edited out :facepalm: Well ?

Interesting selection of countries on your comparison chart. The obvious outlier, Poland was hit hard by the Ukraine war due to it's border with Ukraine and the 15.5 million refugees that crossed the border into Poland. But as highlighted by my good friend a couple of posts above yours, surely...

That would be this one ? A UK trade deal with India was promised by last October. Why is it still not ready? “India negotiates as if it is a country with one billion people, which it is,” said Lowe. “In the UK discourse, it is the big UK negotiating with little India. But India is on course to...

Quite possibly. I think because my social circle includes people who are closely involved, I probably hear more of it than most. It is indeed a varied and funny old world, often completely unintentionally. Have a great time and make sure those fireworks are all done by 8.30. As I'm sure you...

But still getting very angry about the cost of living, mortgages, cost of Care homes, rent costs, inflation, NHS waiting lists, increases in immigration, trying to find staff etc, etc :wink:

Well if you want to stay informed, the BBC still has a whole page devoted to the issues associated with Brexit so I guess there's still someone talking about it :thumbsup: https://www.bbc.com/news/politics/uk_leaves_the_eu

Case rests m'lud :wink:

The only significant difference in the May deal was the Northern Ireland Backstop. Johnson then replaced this with the Northern Ireland Protocol which, when demonstrably didn't work, was replaced again with The Windsor Framework, which is Theresa May's Northern Ireland Backstop rebranded. A...

I believe there is. The EU are quite pragmatic and I don't believe that the majority were particularly upset by our actions, just shocked at what we did. It appears that over 60% of the UK electorate now know why they were shocked :wink:

The review/re-negotiation is already there as part of the Brexit deal. As long as it's beneficial to both the EU and UK I think it will be done and let's face it, a Customs Union type thing would be beneficial to both. Obviously there would be more pressure on the EU to re-negotiate had we ever...

I suspect Starmer isn't anti SM/CU at all, I don't think he is an idiot and he realises what needs to be done for the economy. However, I think he recognises that first and foremost he has to get the biggest majority he can. Don't forget there is a Brexit 5 year review/re-negotiation for the...

I think it will be small steps, a new customs 'deal' for Britain (because we're so special) which may have an awful lot in common with a customs union, then maybe re-join the Single Market. It will take a long time and of course we will get nowhere near the deal politicians of all political hues...

That 'monumental balls up' has a name. It's called Brexit :wink: It's incredible that, after all of that, the leader of the Brexit campaign got himself an 80 seat majority and was allowed to implement exactly the Brexit that they had campaigned for and so many voted for, completely unfettered...

More of a Nigel Farage man ? My goodness that was a quick response, hope you haven't been waiting all night for me to post :wink:

The fact that your hero and leader of the Brexit campaign, Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson, had an 80 seat majority in the HOC giving him completely free reign to implement the exact brilliant Brexit deal that he campaigned for and you voted for, and is still completely shit, is of course...

I'll put you down in the I don't want to talk about it anymore group :wink:

If JRM had a hole in his bottom then shirley he wouldn't be so full of shit :goal:

A couple of points, A lot of what Blair did was on the back of huge economic growth which 'soft touch regulation' was a significant part of long before he or Brown came to power. Brown allowed it to continue, but then was left holding the baby when it all went to shit. He certainly didn't...

Personally, I believe that a FPTP system is a political abomination (something myself and @Harry Wilson's tackle disagree fervently on) and I've never considered myself a labour 'supporter'. However, me and H both recognise that if your country is in an economic suicide pact with a cabal of the...

I think you're right about the 60% but the big issue is what party would raise it ? It seems that Britain is still split, it's just the groups have evolved into the how the hell do we fix this side and the I don't want to talk about it any more side. I think a few more years of economic pain...
