A thank you to Brexiteers.

The way that people from both sides have been fixating for years on the absolute worst examples that they can find of the Other Side, to try to do character assassinations of / dismiss all the people who voted the other way in that referendum, its so crap. it might even be the most depressing thing out of all of it.

This is true, and I'm probably as guilty of it as anyone, but it does tend to be a feature of discussion/argument here on Urban (and elsewhere) at times.

My bins didn't get collected due to driver shortage - thanks Brexit!

I’m intrigued to see what medical device changes they propose. I don’t think anyone in the industry has any idea what they will be and most won’t be able to follow them as generally products are made for the international markets.

And lets hope all those unnecessary and bureaucratic automotive safety regulations go. We don't sell cars to Europe anyway.

Foreign companies will love to sell to us and to label weights in pounds and ounces.

Surely marijuana still comes in ounces and divisions thereof?

Crowns on your British pint, the heroic return of imperial measures, flags everywhere and this as well. exciting times.

"The UK’s public service broadcasters will have a legal requirement to produce “distinctively British” programmes under plans drawn up by ministers.. Ofcom will be asked to draw up a workable definition of the concept."

Would love to know what the definition they come up with, assume it involves lots of tea.

state of this. The Uk's exports to eu are the only ones that have dropped in the first half of this year, everyone else's exports to EU went up. Our imports from the Eu also went up. This isn't covid.

 

[discokermit]

I think of the people who lose their jobs because of this. Morale is dire where I’m working at the mo due to brexit redundancies. One third of the workforce gone this year (so far).

yeah, bloody exporters, trying to send our Great British things overseas.
This is good as well cos only posh people go to m&s and anyway we are not french. Marks & Spencer blames Brexit as it closes 11 French stores
