[Politics] Brexit

[nicko31]

As someone who would much rather be in the EU, and runs a business exporting materials (worldwide, not just to Europe) I must admit things have been pretty good. (yes, I'm surprised)

The fall in the value of Sterling 5 years ago boosted our sales hugely, we've enjoyed record business in the last 5 years (although Sterling is now pretty much back to what it was 5 years ago)

The increase in paperwork in January / February was a pain - but that's pretty much smoothed out now. If you know how to export worldwide, Europe is still a doddle.

The problems with NI are IMO the real issue - it simply wasn't thought through (by the UK and the EU)

I'd still rather be in it though.

Yes not a disaster for all

The deal on goods is tariff and quota free so apart from the extra costs and red tape I'd expect things to be fairly straight forward (bar agric and fisheries which are a bit of disaster), this of course good news for the EU as they have a large trade surplus with us. We also awarded the EU with a 6 month breather without any customs checks into the UK as we are in unprepared for our self imposed deadline - a welcome gift

Services are a different story, the thing were really good and where we have the trade surplus and effectively have no deal.

Still not sure where the trade hole will be filled, USA only hope really, the rest is largely away with the fairies

While you have all this time on your hands maybe you could come up with some sort of alternative to the Northern Ireland protocol and actually contribute something to this thread, other than the GIFs and 'funny' one liners

Five years on and and even smaller group haven't come to terms with the massive costs/problems your so-called 'win' has (and continues to) cause. Yes, FIVE years and your only tangible benefit (in your glazed eyes) is a shiny new blue passport.

LMFAO

What a silly little nazi boy you are.

The pound tanking was a negative consequence of the uncertainty after the referendum, not sure we can mark it down as a benefit.

I would have thought your worldwide sales would have rocketed now - is that not the case?

All this time you've had, away from this thread and you still have sod all to offer.

Says it all, really.

5.5m EU citizens living in the UK, have applied for UK settled status.

The BBC said it was only ever believed that a peak of 3.5m lived here.

Add those reticent to make themselves known for personal reasons.

It’s interesting that we’re still a good bet. Young-ish EU callers to LBC today said that they love the vibrancy of life here and the melting pot of so many different nationalities.

Brexit-Remain battles aside, genuinely, isn’t it great that newcomers love living here?

Our population is always stated at 66-67m, shirley approaching 70m in reality.

We better get building all those new homes we need.

And what is the NSCs most ardent unionist's suggestion for an alternative to NIP (did your other account get embarrassed ?)

 

[Lever]

No surprise to see the same worn out phraseology from the same old sources aimed at Europhile voices....

Trying to take out the opposition rather than arguing a case is all that is left to the 'Brexit Vinnie Jones' characters now.

Fully expected, it was only on the authority of the EU that it stopped in the first place. The rest of the phone companies will probably follow quite quickly now.

England vs Germany likely to be a good early test of the whole "Brexit wasn't really all about xenophobia" lie.

Sorry, argument.

Brexit 5 years on - How has your life improved??

So has anything really got better "because" of Brexit for you? (please no in spite of examples).

Kindly keep all observations of what's more broadly happening in Brexit Britain on the Brexit thread please....
