There were Brexit studies?????

Actually, the govt claims there weren't. But there was a study done about the effect of a trade agreement with Albania. Because what could be more important than a trade agreement with a country that does about 1/15,000 of the trade that the UK does with the EU?

[harleyclarkey]

Ah...PM Johnson, the man who broke international law by illegally extending the agreed and signed off ( or so the EC thoight) protocol. 

And he now expects to do business with the EC?? Presumably Biden has taken note...and he recently talked horse manure about the great call he had with the Pres and a trade deal is on the way.....NOT ! 

The PM who promised glory days for the UK fishing industry. Eh, did you not see that 70% , or more, of the fish caught went (past tense) to the EC.? Now he has totally screwed these poor guys and turned his back on them.

Johnson is truly a worm never to be trusted. I can't stand the guy for his constant lies, and what he and the other Gung Ho Empire guys have done to the UK and the EC.....and I'm Irish!!!

It was so stupid an idea that in 2016 the majority of those who bothered to vote actually voted to leave the EU.

It was still such a stupid idea that in the general election of 2019 when the majority of the public voted they increased the Tory majority and decimated the pro EU Labour party.

I wonder how many other not bright ideas Boris has got tucked away.

The Labour Party was not pro EU at the time, Corbyn held anti EU beliefs.  The Tories  didn't gain a majority of the votes in the last election, the first past the post system gave them their majority of MPs, not votes. But let's see how the Brexit disaster keeps unfolding, shrinking the UK economy day by day.

Be as skeptical as you want about projects the initial costs are estimates I never seen a build project in my working career in the construction industry that hasn't gone over budget.

Kwasaki, to stop the doom and gloom, please tell us something good, something tangible that Brexit has done for the UK.

[OneMoreFarang]

The amazing thing is that Boris gets away with all that because of all the crazy tabloids over there.

If the UK would have balanced media then all this wouldn't happen.

But then, those tabloids would not exist if not many millions of people would read them. Amazing UK.

Wonderful news. This is stuff we could never have done while part of the EU.

I remember visiting a Somerset farm selling scrumpy from the barrel. It looked and tasted fairly innocuous, nothing to fear there, I thought, knock it back. A pint and a half and 20 minutes later I was r????eeling and rolling all over the place. Man it was strong!

Good innit?

Well, how about instead of being optimistic or pessimistic, being realistic? It's a universally observed economic phenomenon that the greater the distance 2 countries are from each other, the less trade they will do. (Of course, a huge economy like China will still do more trade than the UK does with Luxembourg, but proportionately speaking, Luxembourg will do more.)

So all this talk about the UK finding new markets to more than compensate for what it has lost bumps up against reality.

What has infrastructure got to do with membership in the EU?

Well being realistic is why UK left EU can't you be realistic enough to accept that it's happened and the UK just wants to get on with the future.

I suppose a world pandemic just after UK leaving doesn't compute with you or the doom and gloom club.

Please. You would made a good point instead of a cheap and silly shot, if I had denied that the UK had left the EU. And you truncated what I wrote to the effect that it's a universally observed economic phenomenon that there's a strong positive correspondence between geographic proximity and trade between nations. If this is all you have to offer in the way of argument, then you've got nothing.

The nightmare started by disgraced T. May with it being left to deal with by my buddy Boris.

If so, maybe your buddy can tell us why his deal, apart from selling out Northern Ireland, is virtually identical to May's?

They were banned by Theresa May get ya facts right.

When Johnson purchased them, the ownership and use of water cannons in England and Wales was illegal without first obtaining a licence from the Home Office; which neither the GLA nor the Met had. As he could not justify this purchase no licence was retrospectively issued. Subsequently, their use in England and Wales was banned by May when she was Home Secretary.

The Stonehenge tunnel has been in the planning stage for some years. That it finally got approval after Johnson became PM is coincidence.

What Somerset Road?
