The English language needs a new verb to describing be the ‘Brexit’ act of damaging an industry or facet of UK life.  Perhaps ‘Brex’ would do.

 

The fishing industry has been ‘Brexed’.

The Higher Education industry has been ‘Brexed’

The financial services industry has been ‘Brexed’.

 

The more damage is revealed the more the need for the verb to ‘Brex’.

It’ll turn out to be nothing like what’s promised, like everything else Johnson has a hand in.

Same thought crossed my mind....Boris Island, Boris Bridge, Boris Tunnel, Withdrawal Agreement, promise this, promise that......just says whatever he wants.....the truth is a foreign country....Boris does things differently there.

UK MUST follow EU rules! Leo Varadkar says Brussels has power to BLOCK Britain from market

 

IRELAND's deputy prime minister Leo Varadkar has said that the UK's access to the European market is "not unconditional" as he sought to dampen the bright mood among Brexiteers over Boris Johnson's trade deal.

Perhaps you’d like to provide evidence that Brexit has delivered its promise to the UK fishing industry, has not damaged the UK’s higher education industry and has not damaged the highly important UK financial services industry.

Why the sudden concern for the fishing industry?higher education system?,what a resounding success that is when we,ve got 2 million eu citizens here doing the jobs british citizens can,t do,and "the highly important uk financial services industry " those shiny arsed spivs who nearly caused the banking industry to collapse in 2008 then had to go cap in hand to the government to bail them out using taxpayers money which led to years of austerity and all that happened under the watch of a labour party,albeit an asino version.

It wasn’t me who made promises to the UK’s fishing industry.

The UK’s higher education system is a resounding success.

The financial services industry, for all its faults, is the source of significant foreign earnings and tax revenue.

2million EU citizens working in the UK are indeed doing jobs British citizens can’t, or rather won’t, do - They arrived, educated and trained at zero cost to the UK economy.

Quote

A trip Boris Johnson made to Italy for a party held by a billionaire socialite ended with the then foreign secretary at an airport “looking like he had slept in his clothes”, struggling to walk in a straight line and telling other passengers he had had a heavy night, the Guardian has been told.

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/jul/26/boris-johnson-security-evgeny-lebedev-perugia-party

 

Quote

Pictures of the now prime minister along with an account from a fellow traveller shed further light on Johnson’s weekend away at the home of the media owner Evgeny Lebedev, who is known for hosting uproarious parties for the rich and famous at his converted castle near Perugia. Johnson has refused to answer questions about the visit in April last year, including whether he flew to Italy against the advice of his officials and without the 24/7 security detail usually assigned to the foreign secretary.

 

Quote

“It was a surprise to see him. There was nobody with him and he didn’t appear to have any luggage,” said the source. “He was such a mess. He was quite dishevelled and his trousers were twisted and creased. He looked like he had slept in his clothes.”

Johnson was recognised by other British and Italian travellers, some of whom asked for selfies, before he retreated into a corner of the departure lounge to snooze.

'The UK is not extracted from the EU, it is forever bound by geography and  consequently comnercial, trading, security ties, etc, to the EU.

Cheers chomper,haven,t had a good belly laugh for ages.on your first point was merely pointing out your previous views on the subject.the uks higher education system is a resounding success,somewhat contradicted by point 3 you raised. "The fsi for all its faults",and who do,es all this wealth generated benefit?not this country when its all shunted abroad into tax havens,or do you believe in the trickle down theory which in reality dosen,t trickle much past porsche dealers etc in bonus week.and last but not least your last point regarding the  benefits 2 million eu citizens bought us, ".educated" theirselves at zero cost to the uk economy,they educated themselves at the expense of the british education system and paradoxically their indiginous class mates whos first language is english who suffered due to the teachers limited time trying to teach them english,you don,t get owt for nowt lad,so perhaps in the future,a new years resoulution perhaps, you should spare a thought for others.

As for NI and Scotland it will be decades before they become members of the EU, unless the EU ignore their own rules like they did for Greece

But I suspect the EU  frugal  five will ensure that doesn't happen 

For NI and Scotland zero negotiations will be needed. And with a 2/3 majority of the voters seen the expectations, it can be finished in a day.

Very true, 59 countries so far that UK has made trade deals with.

It seems like some consider that as extraordinary.

I don't see any reason why countries wouldn't make a deal with the U.K., now they have left the E.U..

 THE question is: with how many a BETTER deal as withing the EU.

12 hours ago, vogie said:

It is probably to remind the remainers when they stated that it will take 7 years to complete a trade deal, it just proves that this is not the case.

A TRADE deal even a monkey can make. The big question is: a BETTER deal as the UK had, inside the EU.

For an agreement, you need TWO parties to agree. The time, the Empire could force their will on others, is already a century over. When a country does NOT want to roll over their agreement with the much bigger EU to a smaller nation as now the UK, the British are stuck. Maybe against some fisher ships the UK warships might impress, but the rest of the world....

"The ???????? don't have a word for entrepreneur"!  

While economic thinkers have long known that business owners (aka 'capitalists') are vital to economic growth and wealth creation, the word 'entrepreneur' only appeared in the 1800s. Coined by economic philosopher Jean-Baptiste Say, the word comes from French, where it means "undertaker" - i.e. one who undertakes a new venture.

Who Coined the Term 'Entrepreneur'?
