Brexited | the worst threads live the longest

Do you think there will be a Deal or No Deal?


  • Total voters
    194
  • Poll closed .
Unfortunately the prices have gone up because of greed Ukraine and the fecking EU. Pogba is probably involved as well.

I heard groups of Pakistani men were involved too. Driving up prices and causing industrial action. Born in the UK but illegally arriving in small boats from France. 35 million a day in March, with another 56 billion on the way this month. Carrying buckets of Human shit they are dumping in our rivers.
 
I was in London for the first time since Covid and I could not believe the price of everything compared to before. I know inflation has been bad everywhere but that was easily worse than anything I’ve seen here in Ireland. Brexit innit.

The so called inflation rate is quoted at 10.7%.
But the most important metric for most people is food inflation and that is running at almost 18%.
 
You and @horsechoker are quite right.
Closer alignment with the EU need not be against the vote to leave the EU.
The 2 are not incompatible. It is perfectly possible to have left the EU but retain close alignment.
But we are not talking about logic with regards to Brexit, because there was no logic at all.
Brexit was all about emotions. And the illusion that somehow leaving the worlds biggest trading block and going it alone was even remotely the right thing to do, based on a complete pack of lies.
I am still livid at the sheer stupidity of the outcome. And as you say, the damage it is doing to us all.
That is why I am not unhappy at the emerging problems. Too bad.
What goes around comes around.

Don't ask a question unless you know what to do with the answer.
The idiot Cameron did exactly that.


The problem is that instead or more alignment, the Tory rhetoric is more divergence as they want to eliminate EU regulations everywhere and create UK specific ones

And they accuse Labour of being the Loony Left....
 
The Swedes are booting out most Brits post-Brexit.

After Sweden, at 1,100, the Netherlands, at 720, was responsible for the second highest number of removals, followed by Malta 135 and France at 115.

In total, the EU removed 2,610 British nationals in 2021 and 2022 of which with the number of children involved suggested many families were asked to leave.

All other EU member states removed fewer than 100 British nationals in the same period.

Eurostat data shows that 1,350 were aged over 35, 1,025 were between 18 and 34 years old, 35 were teenagers between 14 and 17, and 170 were under 14 years old

Getting Brexit Done. Or not.

Government retreats from Brexit bill plan to ditch EU laws

Climbdown likely after cross-party Lords revolt threatens to defeat Jacob Rees-Mogg’s retained EU law bill

the sad thing is though, no matter how shit the bill, these JRM-type feckers are going to turn around and just say "remainers stopping brexit again". They are never held to account for their damage.

British supermarkets report shortages of peppers as Morrisons rations sales
Retailer limits purchases to two a customer after cold snap in Europe hits supplies

Apparently we've had another cold snap in southern Europe. Bloody freezing it was the other day mowing the lawn in a T-shirt and 24°C.

In Sevilla today, they must be shivering in 32°C - they will have to come up with something more original in the summer months.

Some supermarkets are putting out some sh*te into the press. The reality is the price for them has probably increased from suppliers, all the supermarkets have an agreed contract price and are trying to play hardball with suppliers so they don't pay an increased price. Suppliers won't supply at a loss making price, so the reality we're seeing is that supermarkets would rather ration/have empty shelves than pay the suppliers the market price. This was exactly the same as the last 'ration'. Brexit has some inflation of price in mix, but it isn't the main contributor to the headline of empty shelves.

What you say is probably correct but also the suppliers from Europe just won't bother delivering to the UK if there's too much hassle. If there is a shortage, or they get the price they want, they'll deliver to less troublesome destinations i.e. the EU countries and deliver to the UK if there is an abundance, which is why there are no shortages on mainland Europe.
