But its unhappy consequences are now.

It's funny. The EU country that Brexiters seem most fond of is Hungary, which on a per capita basis is the biggest receiver of EU cash.

As someone else pointed out, there's a saying that Brexit is a mood, not a policy. People ruled by emotions tend to do unintelligent things. It doesn't mean that they are basically unintelligent.

I have no idea what you're on about. Is this some displaced reference to drones from another post? If so, is Iran the only manufacturer of them?

Who says they haven't? https://www.thelocal.fr/20211112/what-is-france-doing-to-stop-migrants-crossing-the-channel/

I don't think all Brexit voters actually voted for that. Remember that the Tories claimed that trade would be frictionless after Brexit and that the EU would back down. Lots of voters believed that.

How do you know that they aren't using drones already? It's still 150 kilometers of coastline. Can drones be constantly watching all of it.

So you're claiming that all the illegal immigrants could enter the UK legally? Really?

The port of Dover's chief executive disagrees with your categorical denial: "The Port of Dover's chief executive Doug Bannister accepted that Brexit had resulted in delays, telling LBC on Saturday his team were "recognizing that we are in a post-Brexit environment, which means the transaction times through the borders are going to take longer."" https://edition.cnn.com/2022/07/23/uk/uk-france-dover-delays-brexit-gbr-intl/index.html

What don't you understand about 150 kilometers of coastline?

Apparently, you are impervious to understanding that this is an open forum. If you want privacy, that's what the PM system is for.

"The Project Fear" campaign, which is how Brexiters characterized Remainers warning about what would ensue after Brexit, was about what would happen in the future. Well, the future is now the present. So it's no longer about fearing the future, but rather mourning the present. And of course, there is the dubious consolation of schadenfreude as in "I told you so".

Actually, they're living in a dismal present which they predicted.

You expect 100% protection. Maybe the UK should up its payments. Although the law of diminishing returns does apply What is France doing to prevent illegal small boat crossings to UK? “It is very difficult for the police to stop people from crossing. We are talking about 150km of coastline, not a port,” he said. “The more money the UK gives to France to militarise the border, the more migrants will turn to traffickers to try to make it across – because they have no legitimate way of doing so.” https://www.thelocal.fr/20211112/what-is-france-doing-to-stop-migrants-crossing-the-channel/

Here's a link to the video which shows the battery swapping procedure. If you want to skip the introductory stuff, start at the 4 minute mark. It takes about 3 minutes to swap a battery. https://insideevs.com/news/591837/nio-battery-swapping-station-norway-5-minutes/

Some folks think that the election was stolen, too. Some folks will believe anything.

Thank you for your service.

And the law is very unclear. It only applies if you can claim that being 10 years old is a medical condition.

I've got some alarming news for you. Somebody has hacked into your account:

Actually most of the water is consumed by agriculture. Including crops that consume a lot of water like cotton and alfalfa.

Aren't you the poster who raised the issue of what the situation was 50 years ago and compared it to the current situation? Did I get that wrong?

But you did. And your mask has slipped.

"They do seem" is your argument? Laughable.

Let me see. First you claimed that checking passports wasn't necessary 50 years ago. And now you claim that the Schengen system is responsible. How does that work exactly? What has the Schengen system done that differs significantly from 50 years ago when passports weren't checked?

So your claim is that the French aren't stopping migrants from leaving France and going to the UK? Does failing to stop 100% mean that they are "happily allowing" them to leave in rubber dinghies.
