I can see the MP voting to stay in.

It's not even a directive. It's just guidance or a recommendation for consumers.

Directives are for official bodies or businesses. Nobody can control what we do at home, so it's just guidance.

It's under:

anyone know how to do an emoji of a person banging their head on a table?

I think this is the closest I can get; 🙇‍♀️
or 🤦‍♀️

"Meanwhile the EU has issued a directive on how brown a roast potato is allowed to be". Honestly. Who will get the blame for these misunderstandings when we aren't part of the EU anymore.
Oh, there'll still be furriners to blame, don't worry. Like those Muslims who are always trying to ban Christmas.

God I hope they just go through with it and get out as we are/were supposed to be doing.

The toast/roast potatoes thing was raised on the first page of this thread. It was explained on page 2 and every fucking page since that it was the UK food standards agency who published the advice with bugger all to do with the EU. 18 pages in and we still have posters saying "I'm glad I voted leave - how dare the EU try and ban roast potatoes" and yet we aren't allowed to call leave voters idiots....?

I totally agree with the correct democratic procedures. It is to protect against dictatorships. What I don't understand is why the remainers think the EU care a shit about our democracy or you. They are thinking about themselves and their countries.!

Itisnoteasybeingdifferent – The roast potato thing – by 'directive' do you mean 'warning' or 'alert' and by EU, do you mean FSA, the U.K. Food Standards Agency? Because it's nothing to do with the EU.

On a cynical note, why should UK worry about the falling pound as a result of Brexit?

It will help exporters, incoming tourists, and overseas investors surely?

Just keep this thing on a low burner, and all the trade deals will be a doddle when the pound goes lower again due to the uncertainty.

But unfortunately it will be a disaster for those ex pats living abroad on fixed sterling pensions for example, but who cares about them lol, and imports to the UK aswell.

No bother so, keep on trucking.

What I don't understand is why the remainers think the EU care a shit about our democracy or you. They are thinking about themselves and their countries.!

First of all, the correct democratic principle should be followed not for the benefit of the EU, but for the benefit of the UK itself and the people who live there.

Secondly, you speak as if the other EU countries are dictatorships, and that the EU itself is not at all democratic.

And, finally, the EU will get on without the UK, thanks very much. It's not as if it's such an essential player. The UK will lose more than the EU, IMO.

Not BS it's just parliamentary sovereignty. The people voted in an advisory referendum, yes, based on lies and manipulation from the likes of Trumps beastie Farage. I doubt the result would be the same now.
I don't think it'll make a difference though I wish it would. My family have had no reassurance we can stay, despite oh paying tax here for 20yrs.
But let's leave I'm sure we'll be fine on own, not like there are any major global threats from megalomaniac sociopaths or anything.

Lweji please don't put words in my mouth when you don't have an argument. Get out there and start exporting like my husband and I are and benefit the country by paying taxes!

Don't we all pay tax? I know I do.

Gosh, I didn't realise that one only pays tax when one exports things! I must get on to the Inland Revenue and ask for my rebate!

Of course we do but export brings new money in not money going round and round in circles and disappearing by buying imports. Holidays etc.

Missing the point of the thread entirely but it drives me nuts when various media presenters say

BREG-ZIT & not BREXIT

Grrrr

It's nice to bring money in, isn't it?

I was a major contributor in taking into the UK EU research funding. Which the UK will have more trouble obtaining, at least as a major partner.
You'll be fine.

Whichever poster above thinks it is an EU directive on how brown your roastie s should be - please point me to that EU Directive. I think you will find it hard. It is the UK government via the good Standards Agency who have issued this guidance.

This is exactly why we are in this situation. It's like #alternativefacts or something.

Exactly. Well said. If you want to ignore the advice of the experts that's your choice. No one is banning roasts. Sadly no one heeded the facts in the referendum but at least the Supreme Court is upholding the proper legal process. MPs should vote for what's in the UK's best interests.

I'm also curious at what type of things you export. Presumably with only UK obtained raw materials.

Also, that was a personal attack that had nothing to do with any actual argument.

They'll have to prise that overdone roast potato out of my cold, dead, hands.

I think you mean #backoffUKFSA

It's serious, and worry. if you don't know the difference. You are worse off because we import too many goods. To grow the economy we have to export. In reality all people that work for the rest of us don't pay tax. Government etc. Because it's the same money being stretched out and back again.

It isn't bullshit, or an undermining of the 'will of the people' it is a mature democracy with an unwritten constitution preventing the tyranny of the (slight) majority which is exactly how democracy should work.

What does that have to do with Brexit?

How will austerity sit with the need to revitalise UK manufacturing and everything else that makes a buck (no one will use pounds), while rigidly controlling immigration?

We are going to need to spend masses on education, high-speed broadband, transport infrastructure and anything else that provides a high quality British workforce, including health and housing.
