These are Brexiteer ‘inventions’ of the alternative reality they wish us all to swallow.

That's completely different to not joining a bloc vaccination program during a pandemic. There is no way we'd have gone against the EU and the other 27 member states if we'd still been in the club. If you want to believe otherwise that's up to you. No. You made the ridiculous assertion, you back it up. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[i.e. it approached the negotiation in a very non-professional way] Though to be honest Countries don't have friends, they have allies as such based on common interests etc. The UK has decided for the most part that they have little in common with the EU and wants to go it's own way placing sovereignty above all else. Any deal you get into you give up some sovereignty to do as you feel like at any time you want for a common goal... but you remain sovereign in that you can leave that arrangement subject to the deal you negotiate - which is what the UK did. The UK should not expect any different treatment than the EU's other 'friends' (pretty much any western country). It is like you and your wife breaking up, then because you were once wife and husband coming over every dinner at the wifes place because they felt entitled. indeed, in some way "the UK were members, friends, allies, contributors (financially and intellectually) for 40 years?", but right now relations are execrable, not just because the countries have no active ambassadors note while things with Gove seemed to calm dow, the vaccine grab and the latest nomination of "take no prisoners" Frost sent horrendous signals, so it's dire and it very likely will get even worse. and of the course there's Johnson, with his repeated insults and lies https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/feb/24/boris-johnson-a-liar-who-will-seek-to-blame-brexit-costs-on-covid-says-diplomat not only is Brexit itself with the UK breaking away from Europe costly, but it's an international relations disaster ...beyond the wildest dreams of the Chinese and the Russians not good at all for the UK tax revenues either as we are talking about getting back in Europe the €681tn EU derivatives market, with a very strong reaction of the Bank of England (but I'm not sure what the UK can do about it, but escalating in other domains like fisheries). now fisheries means millions, and in finance we're talking trillions, and the loss of the very confortable situation in which the UK used not to share the € with us, but reap the benefits.. .

Did RepGlobal’s 9 staff check what they posted in their YouTube feed or where they too busy working on posting nonsense on Facebook? Does it even matter? Their followers don’t seem to understand what RepGlobal are posting anyway. Really Tiger, RepGlobal, What a laugh! Glad you enjoyed the laugh. But it is you who is making a laughing stock of yourself, decrying the information simply because of it's medium. Or did you not comprehend - that the factual information was sources by Bovill, a world renowned financial regulatory consultant, via an FOI request to release the figures from the FCA of companies that have already applied. Whatever you think of the medium is irrelevant to the facts, but then you can't challenge the facts, so I suppose it's all you're left with. At least this medium relies on facts, unlike your crystal ball gazers who attempt to predict future unknown events, sometimes supported by spurious ex-spurt commentators. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edited 23 hours ago by Tofer I was only repeating your own quotation back to you, that sighted Covid. However, as I said earlier, I couldn't agree more about the idle benefit claimants. Just to clarify, I wasn't referring to those individuals when I commented about the remainers lack of backbone and British spirit, I think it's obvious to a blind man on a flying horse that you'll find none of that attribute amongst that segment of society.

"It's idealistic to think that because of Covid and the higher than usual unemployment rates that those people would come in and do that work."
