Andrew Neil who lives in France says UK economy still like an EU country after BREXIT. Not really surprising, as no party in Government will be able bring about significant change for at least a decade in my opinion. And any significant change if it ever happens might be really unpopular such as reduced employment rights !

Well, thats the presented view from the right

as low economy, low regulations is what the brexiters are pressing for

.. see rees mogg very clearly and literally state it a little higher in the thread ..

 

What they wanted though was EU benefits, singapore on thames low cost labour low (company and millionaire) tax, low regulation, low environmental rights (which they have with water companies - the brexiter model - apart from the occasional fine which is less than the money they made)

 

BUT

See all the investment and financial trade heading elsewhere - the real impacts starting post April just 5 months away

See all the UK farming going bust

I see the complint about met not investigating what it should have addressed ast the time 'covid breaches by government' has been dismissed on a false (IMO) tecnicality in that the complainenet wasn't directly affected by (invited to?) the parties

 

I beg to differ - the whole country has been affected by the rule makers being penalty free rule breakers

Indeed. I can se both sides of that debate, UB. What's more concerning is voter ID that could stop poorer people and minorities [non-Tory supporters] from voting, the ability to strip immigrants of their citizenship without giving a reason, stopping the ability to protest and so on.

and whats the betting that the reduction in anti-biotic use will be applied to UK farmers (if at all) but NOT the Australia/NZ/USA trade steals

Next week will be interesting, won't it? I hope it goes better than last year.

 

Did you see Johnson's article on the advantages of Brexit so far? A lot of it was about having crown marks on pint glasses and being able to buy and sell things in pounds and ounces, plus trade deals with small countries that are nowhere near offsetting lost business from the EU.

 

Oh, and the new immigration system. But there's already talk of allocating a lot of visas being awarded if a trade deal is signed with India...

No, Britain has the most to lose and HAS lost the most, Its quite clear

- and made far worse by Johnsons corruption, incompetence and dishonesty

- with not just our benefits from EU membership lost, but our position in the world belittled by his antics. Not least of which the Afghanistan farce.

 

From the remaining EU members France may have the most to lose, and perhaps even lost the most, BUT also has a great deal to gain, and HAS gained MUCH - quite possibly far more than it will lose.

Just a couple of examples:

Seen all that business bypassing the UK and running straight from Ireland - France?

Have you seen the financial migrations to Paris? (even though Paris isnt the greatest gainer from UK finance business losses)

 

Mind you, a number of  EU migratory workers have lost some business in the UK (Hospitality, care, Transport and Agriculture)

- but see what its done to the UK businesses?

Just look at the headlines and remember the fuel shortages .. and the state of supermarket shelves still ..

 

 

 

Mind you, there have been a number of new UK financial roles

- specialists in moving businesses to the EU by and large it seems ..

"“The hero is the Prime Minister who delivered Brexit. I’m aware as someone said today that regicide is in the DNA of the Conservative party, but a bit of loyalty to the person who won an 83 majority and delivered Brexit wouldn’t go amiss.”

 

- the quote that got Nadine Dorries kicked out of the ERG whatsap group

 

Of course, the issue for the ERG is that he hasn't delivered them their hard Brexit ... and whatever the Brexit campaign claimed was to be delivered be damned.

Johnson accuses anti-vaxxers of spreading 'complete nonsense' and 'mumbo jumbo'

"Boris Johnson has condemned anti-vaxxers for spreading “complete nonsense” and “mumbo jumbo” about vaccines. In a pooled broadcast interview during a visit to a vaccination centre, he stressed the importance of vaccination, saying 30 to 40% of patients going to hospital with Covid had not been vaccinated. He went on:

I want to say to the anti-vax campaigners, the people who are putting this mumbo jumbo on social media: they are completely wrong. You haven’t heard me say that before, because I think it’s important we have a voluntary approach in this country and we’re going to keep a voluntary approach ...

What a tragedy that we’ve got all this pressure on the NHS, all the difficulties that our doctors and nurses are experiencing and we’ve got people out there spouting complete nonsense about vaccination."

 

 

Is Johnson actually telling some truths at last? No matter how hard it hits his support base Bonkers Brigade?

- Incidentally perhaps, but seems to me he's just still trying to get toppled so he can run away and claim its all not his fault
