Country is crying out for change and they keep regurgitating the same tired old bollocks. Rayner doesn't seem very bright.
Brexited | the worst threads live the longest
- Thread starter Silva
- Start date
Sounds as thick as mince.
She does realise that the 'oven ready deal' was just leaving the EU - which the UK did and the Trade agreement (TCA) was not the same thing and she actually voted for that. Doesn't matter whether the Tories oversaw, Labour oversees it or Lord Buckethead oversees it, it is never going to be a benefit for the UK.
Unsurprisingly the UK cannot rejoin on the same terms it left on.
The future is dim.
Honestly. the EU should tell the UK to do one. Either start the process to rejoin, or feck off.

If only we could predicted this. Who knew? 
Such an interesting article.
Away goes the train up British workers to ensure they get high wages etc etc and in comes reciprocal visa schemes with some of the poorer members of the EU (with young people who will be more willing to accept lower wages than their peers in western and Northern Europe no doubt).
May blamed for the lack of reciprocal visa arrangements even though her deal was voted down and Johnson took over the negotiation and was the one who signed the deal.
Classic stuff.

A spokesperson for the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs said: “We are committed to protecting high animal welfare standards globally, as the prime minister recently emphasised in open letter to British farmers. We have not lowered our food, animal welfare or environmental standards in order to accede to CPTPP and there have been no imports of eggs from CPTPP members to the UK since 2015.
The RSPCA has accused the government of a “race to the bottom for animal welfare standards” as conventional battery systems were banned in the UK in 2012. The CPTPP trade deal is due to be signed on 16 July.
Thérèse Coffey winning the race to the bottom.

Daily Express hilarious headline.
Looking around the Brexit media it looks as if the Brexiteers have been conned yet again. They seem very enthusiastic about this. Obviously completely clueless, again, what this will mean for the future of the UK.
Unfortunately it's very bad news for the UK which will become evident in due course like everything else concerning Brexit.
They will never learn.
They've been conned so badly that I'm sure many of them feel it would too humiliating to admit it at this point, so they might as well keep pretending. The whole thing is a monumental embarrassment and an unprecedented self-inflicted catastrophe, and it's just getting started.
imagine having to go on the tele and argue that $1.8bn over 10 years is significant to the UK economy
And it will continue until there is a strong opposition in parliament and a strong press where journalists ask the right questions. Badenoch wilted under mild pressing in the above clip. If the journalists and opposition politicians asked the right questions, it would be utter humiliation but they won't because either they are so scared to do so or not knowledgeable enough.
Plus accountability of the press and politicians, which is sorely lacking.
The Magots are eating each other.

A typical example of brickmanship.

Rishi Sunak has criticised the European Union’s “regrettable choice of words” after it appeared to have endorsed the name Argentina uses for the Falkland Islands.
In France they are known as Les Îles Malouines anyway.
He'll be in for a shock when he realises London is called Londres by the French.
And Shithole by everyone else!
What does Rishi expect, the French sold Exocet Missiles to the Argentine during the Falklands war? All seems a bit pointless getting upset about a name now 40 odd years later. I am sure the relatives and friends of those who died on HMS Sheffield are however indebted to the PM for trying to make sure their relatives and their loved ones died in the right war.
He'll be bringing up Agincourt and 'good luck' associated with spotting white rabbits soon no doubt, anything during the week of three bye-elections to keep the conversation off the Tory governments record in government.
There are so many dead cats being thrown about it's a feline assassination.
As far as I'm aware the French sold 5 Exocet missiles to Argentina before the Falklands war, not during it
France would have sold them during the war, if the Argentine wanted to buy. France is one of the main arm sellers in the world and they owed allegiance to neither.
This from the BBC in 2012 suggests they didn't.
"At the start of the conflict, France's left-leaning president, Francois Mitterrand, had come to Britain's aid by declaring an embargo on French arms sales and assistance to Argentina.
He also allowed the Falklands-bound British fleet to use French port facilities in West Africa, as well as providing London with detailed information about planes and weaponry his country had sold to Buenos Aires.
Paris also co-operated with extensive British efforts to stop Argentina acquiring any more Exocets on the world's arms market."
And while Mitterand declared an embargo, Dassault had technicians in Argentina who were testing and calibrating the exocet for the Argentines.
I said it in this thread and I will say it again, you should never trust french politicians when money or power is in the equation, France played both sides.
I don't trust politicians, French or otherwise!And while Mitterand declared an embargo, Dassault had technicians in Argentina who were testing and calibrating the exocet for the Argentines.

Al Haig knew the score, he became Reagan's'deep throat' on the matter, passed on the technical details to Brits on how to deal with Exocets.

I think Hannan is more of a crank than a genuine traitor like Banks, Farage or Johnson. Still, historians will ponder why some junior debating club hack with no real world experience was afforded intellectual status. Unlike Paddington Bear, he should have stayed in Peru.
