Brexit mega thread : part 9 : Winter is Coming

[Chevyimpala67]

Part 10 of our long running thread.

Not sure what to say, really, other than it is worse than I feared.

Strap in, folks. It's gonna be a rough ride...

It’s all just shit, these pack of lies sold to the British public.

Whilst the economic penny has dropped for many, it’s depressing how the monetarily unaffected zealots continue to insist this chaos is exactly what they voted for and would vote same again.

One tidbit from the article…
A cross-industry veterinary and environmental health group, the Sanitary and Phytosanitary Certification Working Group, estimated that the new requirement for export health certificates, signed off by a vet, added £60m to the cost of food exports to Europe in 2021

On the plus side, the first Government to remove some of this red tape and reinstate frictionless trade will have a mini-boom of economic efficiency.

I wonder who will realise this and try to do it?

I see India are "caving in" to the EU and mandating USB-C as the required connector on new iShinys. I also see (or rather don't see) the Express exploding over this total evasion of a "brexit freedom".

If I was more mischievous, I would tweet s supremely thick MP to kick up a fuss over this betrayal. But it's at this point you finally understand what is meant by the tyranny of choice.

It's interesting to speculate on how this could happen. After all, it's a little like having a hidden "turbo" mode for the UK economy.

The trick will be finding a way to activate it without the panel light coming on.

But its simply not possible.. NI.. outside of SM and CU and no real means to re join either.
The EU do not want another Switzerland and we are too big for EFTA.

We ve also both parties refusing to even countenance the idea.

Brexit can't work.. never could... Thatcher recognised the importance of the SM (& EU) to the UK.

The red tape is as a result of leaving the EU, it can't meaningfully, be reduced.

Its incredible the UK can't see this basic truth..

PT Barnum famously noted that no one lost money underestimating the publics intelligence.

He was of course prophesying Brexiteers.

The key to rejoing the EU will be the same is it was joining the EEC. A slow powerful narrative that somehow it's too good for the likes of us. A reverse Groucho Marx approach. We're already in the indifference phase.

How to spend the £10 that's due me 1/1/2023 when the UK has singularly failed to sign a US trade deal ?

It’s time for Remainers to try and make Brexit work
As we enter 2023, the mass of the British people are exhausted by the battles of the past six years and yearn to move on.

Sure, sure... the best way to pacify arsonists is to agree to live in the flames.

It’s time for Remainers to try and make Brexit work

Fuck that. They just don't get it do they, the fucking idiots.

Brexit can't work.

You may as well say that it's time for gravity to ease up.

No, it's the job of those who campaigned and voted for Brexit to try to make it work.

Clear up your own mess. If you can. What do you think Remainers are, NS, your mum?

I’m not going to make your shitty Brexit work. It can’t work, never was going to work and all the kings horses and all kings men won’t make it work, you bunch of fuvking nupties.

It’s like asking an athlete to please break their personal best with a rucksack of bricks on their backs, they’re surely not trying hard enough

Perhaps it’s time they understand what a colossal error of judgement the whole project has been? Because it’s the obvious conclusion now, to anyone with a functioning brain.

Because it’s the obvious conclusion now, to anyone with a functioning brain.

and therein lies the problem.....

I look forward to the emnity between Brexiteers and Remainers intensifying considerably as 2023 starts to bite.

And if some Brexiteers are starting to sound a little hysterical, maybe even scared, then they can also fuck right off.

No one calls me a traitor and gets away with it. Not then. Not now. Not ever.
Of course Brexiteers want Remainers to fix their shit. It's anotehr way for them to slime out of the blame they are getting.

I note that a certain Rees-Mogg is sniping at Sunak to push on with the scrapping of retained EU law. So any notion there might be a truce in the Tory party is a pipedream. Thankfully.

JRM's dream

If the Retained EU Law Bill passes, on Jan 1st, 2024 we could lose:

🔹Holiday pay
🔹Agency worker rights
🔹Rights to maternity and parental leave
🔹Protection of part-time and fixed-term workers
🔹Protection from discrimination

and many more.

I was watching Phil Moorhouse last night, on the scrapping of EU laws as proposed my Mogg et al.

He made the very valid observation that if the bill passes, it’ll effectively plunge businesses into a chaos never seen before, as there will effectively be zero regulation across many areas. Rule book ripped up, replaced by… oh we’ll get round to that at some point.

He reasoned that the markets will respond in such a way that makes the Truss experiment look like a walk in the park in comparison. I think he’s got a valid point.

It's like asking posters who want to get rid of the ECHR which rights they would like to lose for themselves, they never answer.

It’s time for Remainers to try and make Brexit work

How many ways can I formulate to say "they can get to fuck"?

The problem is the UK long ago passed the point where it was a given that sensible would kick in. If there had been any doubt the Truss experiment proved it.

So we are now in a sitaution where anything could - and probably will - happen. All bets are off.

Whatever happened to Mass Observation ? This really could be their chance to catch the build up to a revolution.

I would suggest it's no point discussing what Labout could do when they get in. It's entirely possible we won't see a peaceful election again.

Fuck em

The sad truth is as demographics creep ever on, Remainers will have to fix Brexit.

By reversing it.

She should have died hereafter.
There would have been a time for such a word.
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time.
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle.
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

This is Mumsnet. Why is there no outcry that we could lose equal pay, maternity pay etc.?

But Harry and Meghan ...

Femi nailing it again...

Well

Here we are.

The end of 2022. Won't be sad to see the back of it....unlike lots of tory cronies, ceos of oil companies or those whose covid loans fraud has been "wiped". Been a pretty good year for some.

I have no hopes for 2023 other than more of the same interspersed with royalist fervour in May and the return of De Pfeffle - the turd that will not flush.

I wish you and yours a healthy, peaceful year x

A peaceful new year from me as well. I've managed to snag myself a new job just when I wanted one, so looking forward to the crazy life that is working in the NHS again. And also cats.
