When they gain herd immunity who will be laughing?

When will that be and how many people will have died until then? The infection rate as per May is just 4-7% — they are far from any herd immunity.

They probably understand who is actually at risk and know it's not them. Good to see the populace rebelling against government dictat.

Look to Sweden to see how it should have been done.

- Sweden is now the number 5 country in Covid-19 deaths per 100k people. 
- In April and May significantly more people died than would normally die based on the historical average. 
- Most European countries were able to “flatten the curve”. Only two were not: The UK and: Sweden. They constantly have 500-600 newly infected people per day. 
- Even their Chief disease expert admitted that it would have been better to lockdown more and earlier.

It is quite simple really. It is a matter of principle. The decent British people will not sit back and accept one rule for them and another rule for protesters and minority groups who can do anything they want. Very simple.

He who shoots himself in the foot. Let me have my right to do the same. 

The stupidity of westerners is amazing. I’m glad I’m living in Thailand where people don’t put their and other’s health at risk because of “principles”.  
 

Let’s just hope they don’t spread the virus to anyone else than each other. 

Unfortunately this happens when you ease lockdowns too early and give in to the right-wing nuts and conspiracy theorists.

So nobody knows if the UK will do better or not. I don't and I am certain that you and your supporters do either.

I appreciate your honesty. Other Brexiteers, especially the leaders, have not been that honest. They promised the UK will do better, telling people that all you need is being on your own (“sovereignty”), completely ignoring that it also takes good negotiators and (most importantly) clout.

The 27 EU member states (EU27) produced 19.69 million motor vehicles in 2017 and exported 2.3 million of these to the United Kingdom − representing 82% of the UK’s motor vehicle import volume, worth €38 billion.

Another example showing how much the UK needs the EU, and not the other way round.

But hey instead of a deal you get your "Blue" passport back ????

Aaaaaaaand the 0.1% fishing waters. They really are in for the big wins now.

Works both ways. Do you think that Germany don't want to preserve their status as the leading importer to the UK? I don't think German businesses would be too happy to lose their second biggest market in the EU (Netherlands being their top for exports).

1. Germany isn’t an “importer to the UK”. 

2. Germany exports something like 7-8% to the UK, whereas it imports a huge double-digit percentage to the single market. The same is the case for the other EU27. Guess where their priority will be — on the 7% UK market, or the double-digit single market? 

3. The UK imports quite heavily from the EU.

do you really think people are bothered about trivial things like a visa.

It’s the blue passports and the 0.1%

fishing industry that really matters!

       WE won't be eating chicken, its going to be tasty Beef and Lamb from Aus and Kiwi again, which many anti brexit fans can not even remember before 1973.

Wait, does this mean that on top of the bendy bananas, the EU also made “tasty beef and lamb from Aus and Kiwi” illegal? Scandalous! I’m outraged!

in other words you can leave but we own you and your fishing waters

 

never heard anything so ridiculous 

 

You can also leave and keep your fishing waters. You are free; you can decline any offers from anyone as you like.
 

You can fish all the fish you like, and sell it to whomever you like. And maybe the 0.1% GDP will eventually be 0.2% GDP. If you find a buyer for all that fish, of course, and a new buyer for the 70% sales you are losing. Geniuses!
