Brexit Megathread - Part 2 because it's not over by a long shot

[vera99]

Well getting to a 1000 posts didn't take too long so here we are.... everybody welcome!

@Lonelycrab

This tweet sums up the futility of thinking there’ll be some brave new world out there. It’s a meaningless trade deal and will probably hurt our economy more than it helps.

Incidentally I was talking to a respected pro audio supplier, he’s lost half of his business due to red tape to the EU. This is the actual reality: people go out of business.

But we have control of our borders and are laws are no longer made by foreigners.

And of course, he should trade with Australia or Canada - as far away as possible.

The ultimate in low key headlines

NZ Trade Deal could boost UK economy by between 0.01% and -0.01%

In Kelvingrove in Glasgow at the moment. There's some kind of demonstration going on. Lots of rather scary looking men with short haircuts holding Union Jacks. Must be sectarian?

Those Uplands sure are Sunny

Do they have unicorns in New Zealand?

Another Brexit bonus

You can no longer recycle Nike Trainers in Britain. Isn't recycling supposed to be a good thing and doing your bit for the planet? Not in Johnson's global Britain, it would seem.

Well if we can’t buy real veg, there’s always a nice cardboard cutout to chew…but everything’s fine. Right?

No shortages. Oh no, none at all. Nothing to see here. Move along. Move along.

While simultaneously saying: The EU is also affected by these shortages. They're due to HGV/supply chain difficulties. So the shortages in the UK are nothing whatsoever to do with Brexit.

So truly Schrödinger's shortages

Nobody would have complained about eating cardboard cutouts during the war. Where’s the blitz spirit?! I’m having a cardboard Turkey for Xmas!!

My mother always used to recount the wartime Christmas, of 1942 when food was particularly difficult. They served up Cottage Pie for the meal. Later on other people said, Oh we could have got you a bird. This would almost certainly have been a chicken in those days. Even during the 1950s chicken was still a bit of a luxury.

It won't hurt us not to have food from half way around the world, Oh but wait, isn't that what the Brexit clones have just negotiated?

Coming soon ...

Another sad bonus although possibly not entirely Brexit related. It's related more to Priti Patel's nasty attitude towards others - which given her family's history is something she ought to at least be reflecting upon. And no, her family weren't refugees from Amin, but I would be very surprised if her family don't know others who were.

One for the Leavers here: Museum of Brexit

Far from lasting for 100 years, I suspect this one will be quietly ditched, when they find that the Brexit Bonus is not something they want to advertise e.g. sewage in our bathing waters.

Aaahh, that museum, after the tories slavishly voted to allow water companies to discharge raw sewage into rivers and the sea is going to be a literal tory Brexit shitshow.

@nicktolhurst
+UPDATE+

Sewage slurry that is illegal to be used within the EU, is now being exported to the UK via the Netherlands.

Post Brexit UK now has “laxer & lower regulations” regarding sewage use, allowing companies to profit from and farms to use unhealthy sewage on farms.

Cheers Brexit half wits

.

The top news on French national radio today is that Boris Johnson's government (their words) is making unauthorised immigration a criminal offence, punishable by 4 years in prison. And that they are considering pushing immigrant boats back. Contrary to international law / human rights groups protesting.

Is that long enough for residency? That sounds like a master stroke, 4 years at Her Majesty's pleasure, then maybe an extra year then you're in😂😂😂

Surely people are going to be trying to get out of this actual shithole of a country? I certainly am

Thus concentrating the horror for the rest of us ....

What dispirits me the most is that people voted for these people, in 2019, when their nature was known.

And they still have a 40% approval rating.

It is that fact,and the lack of any real or meaningful protest against what's happening that has me looking to get out.

Maybe now wasn't the best time to push for an assisted dying bill ? It could easy be taken as a hint by some. Benefits cut ? Poverty looming. Society disintegrating in to a horror show of hate ? Life for minorities and the disabled becoming worse by the day ?

There's a solution to all that in a magic pill ....

Weren’t promises made that this wouldn’t happen!

Johnson was never in a position to make promises as to what individual countries chose to do, as each EU nation is sovereign.

Any one with any understanding of what being in the EU and not being in the EU means would have understood this.
