"Given the E.U. negotiaton antics" is of course a personal view. Many will support your view, as many will reject it, and instead blame the U.K.. It is my opinion that, except for the hard Brexiteers, who are already completely convinced, the U.K. government will have to prove, starting next year, with concrete, viewable facts for everyone, to the Remainers that they were mistaken, to the Leavers that they were right.

Fair enough, some wish the same, and thought the only way they could obtain that was by voting Remain.

I'm not really interested in scoring points. Most of my friends voted Brexit. I'm only concerned about my country's economy going down the pan for some altruistic dream regarding "sovereignty" which was never an issue as, in reality, we never lost our sovereignty. Add that to the hard right's war cry of "take back control of our borders" primarily aimed at immigrants crossing the channel from France. That went well didn't it? In August more immigrants crossed the Channel in one month than in the whole of 2019 when we were still in the EU. As fellow EU members, the French authorities worked closely with the British to minimise illegal crossings. Not any more, if caught with a boat on the beach, the French authorities just say to the illegals, "Bon voyage". 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyluke Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 ^ I don't think the U.K. government is already able to do something now. I think we will have to wait till next year if the U.K. government wil implement new laws/regulations to modify their actual approach on immigrants /"refugees". In fact all is about waiting, for the moment we only have speculations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyluke Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 No country in the E.U. wants "refugees", but there are E.U. laws/regulations they are suppose to follow. Interpretations of these laws may vary from one country to another. Maybe indeed the French don't see anymore that there are "refugees" leaving France for the U.K.. They can not stop them if they don't see them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides his action to take U.K. out of E.U. this was only the tool to become PM. nothing else ....and he even got a God's Gift of 80 seats majority ...that now even troubles the Conservatives of stopping him for things they evem dont like......they created a Dictator now....????
