Brexit mega thread part 11: is fucktastrophy a word?

Part 11 of this mega thread

Couldn't see a new one?

Hope you don't mind a newbie starting it!

It Never Works

As stated in that article, the same was said about the Common Market, adoption of the Euro and the absorption of the ex-communist bloc

Unless you mean it = brexit

Fair enough, pleased for you if that's what you want. I'm not particularly happy or unhappy with new members potentially joining the EU, it doesn't make much odds to me. It would though if the UK were still in and the expansion were to cost the forecast £56bn. I'm happy that it isn't.

So around £100 per person. Way cheaper than having to apply for a work visa.

You should get out more.

I'm not the one cowering behind the sofa, scared of foreigners.

I was specifically responding to your comment:

I can't imagine being so full of hatred and bitterness that you'd rather destroy your kids' life chances than work collaboratively with your neighbours.

By suggesting you should get our more. Because I've met people like that.

Ah right. Sorry, I misunderstood.

For an increased market to both supply and to supply us with high quality, cheap food. And people willing to come and wipe up your grandmother's sh!t for minimum wage. And more places to go and experience for the sheer joy of it without having to pay extra for visas, with many protections included.

And given that every pound we paid in, we got back over a hundred fold in benefits.

As I said, sounds like a bargain to me...

Bit of a diversion from Brexit but given the likely political sympathies of most posters here on the "Mega Thread" can I highly recommend viewing Dr Mark Felton's short video review of a recent visit/tour of Buckingham Palace!!

Even as someone who generally likes the Royals themselves I thought it was comedy gold and I'm pretty sure any with anti Monarchy/Pro Republican views will love this.

Enjoy it!😂😂

Well, if we're after squirrels, this is just too funny!

As per Bloomberg, Britain poised to rejoin the EU Horizon programme I’ve been told.

Final calls with VDL maybe this afternoon, then announcement possibly tomorrow or at the G20 when Sunak and VDL together

I’m told UK will claim they got a good deal with “catchup” money to effectively compensate scientists who were out of the programme for 2 years

The start of the UK re joining quite a few EU projects I predict

And of course being subject the to ECJ, and ECHR.

Ooh, the headbangers are going to love that!

Is this being announced now to take the pressure off Rishi and the crumbly concrete?

Brexit demonstrably Hasn’t Worked. Even this current crop of Brexit-eager and happy to spend scarce taxpayer money on it politicians who cooked it up couldn’t make it work. It’s a nonsense and pack of lies

NRTFT but seems safe to say of Brexit, that as an astronomically expensive project with the aim to enforce a lack of international cooperation and lack of economic opportunity, It Never Works.

UK will start to pay Horizon association costs from January 2024 and a new “automatic clawback” will compensate Britain should UK scientists receive significantly less money than the government puts into the programme.

UK the “clawback” is reciprocal; U.K. will not have automatic access to security aspects of Copernicus; the U.K. was out of fusion programme to rejoin…

U.K. will not have automatic access to security aspects of Copernicus;

No non-EU member is allowed access to that. Apparently because a tinpot little country called "The UK" made a huge song and dance about it at the time (over some objections from other EU members). This was when the official UK policy was to "fuck America".

None of what I write can be disproved. Good innit ?

Completely unironic front cover from the spectator here. You don’t suppose it could be Brexit and the Tories being in power do you Spectator?

They will no doubt claim that Brexit was thwarted by the "blob" or it was just not "pure" enough.

Anybody with experience in financial and economic modelling saw the car crash coming a mile away.

Once the current Govt is voted out in 2024 we need a statutory investigation into Brexit. Similar to what we have with Covid.

The people responsible for the mess the UK is currently in cannot be allowed to simply walk away to avoid accountability.

Too much damage has been done.

.

Its the like the bonfire of the incompetents now.

The worst part is that it will be very difficult to get rid of them because incompetent people don't give up power easily.

The lying and the gaslighting are used to cover up their lack of competence with the lowest common denominator.

Keep in mind that this type of nationalism allows some people to "feel" they have accomplished something, without having any real accomplishments of their own.

The worst part is that it will be very difficult to get rid of them because incompetent people don't give up power easily.

But people don't vote for competence anyway. It's overrated in UK politics. Or at least it's rated below fashion sense.

If only someone had warned them...
