A thank you to Brexiteers.

It does have goals as far as some people are concerned. The main one being paying less tax. So, it will indeed have failed in that regard unless there are tax cuts. His Lordship is logical.

The main one is deregulation. I can't see how less taxes can relate to Brexit. Tax is set by the chancellor not the EU.
 
The EU does/did have some say over UK tax, for example business taxes, VAT and tax avoidance measures.

IMO, though it's less about specific EU rules and more about the idea of moving to a low-tax low-regulation economic model which being in the EU prohibits. In a fashion, it's the only way to have a Brexit that makes sense. Brexit has to make UK businesses uncompetitive, all things being equal. So the only thing to do is undercut by reducing the costs of running a business.

EU prohibits low tax, low regulation? Are you taking the piss? The former governor of the EU was previously the PM of fucking Luxembourg for crying out loud.

Low tax, low regulation always has to be relative to something. Being in the EU prohibits having lower taxes and lower regulation than being in the EU allows.

This is, it prohibits the "Singapore on Thames" model that certain Brexiteers used to recommend.

(And also, the UK isn't Luxembourg.)

Luxembourg is in the EU. Singapore on Alzette.

There was that EU Tobin Tax type thing for the City as well due to come in- avoiding that was being said to add to the Brexit enthusiasm. Not sure how far that got to be implemented in the EU -anyone know? Im curious

I believe the process was put on hold because of Brexit. I think it's less than half of EU countries taking part, though.
 
Whatever has happened that people now call ‘Brexit’ isn’t what was voted for, because the voting slip did not differentiate with regard to Northern Ireland.
Probably not an issue for the leave voting anti Irish racists.
 
The whole point of Brexit is to make the UK more competitive than the EU through a low tax low regulatory regime to directly compete with them (and others) . That's not to say that there are not areas in the EU that don't have historically low tax/financially favourable regimes also .

But they are the minority of administrations there. We are only at the start of this process, if anyone thinks that this gvt won't drive done this particular avenue at every opportunity it gets they are deluded. This was my main reason for voting remain, not because I think that the EU offers some sort of utopia but, that their social, environmental, etc legislation and ECJ offered the best checks and balances against this Tory gvts actions in this country.

Yeah, and before people start citing Greece, migrants, etc, etc I know about all that and don't agree with it at all but that doesn't change my opinion that working people in this country will be well and truly fucked over from now on in.

It needs mentioning on a daily, indeed almost hourly basis.
Every time anybody anywhere says brexit has happened in fact, in my opinion.
I think there needs to be a constant reminder of the danger posed by leave voting racists.
I also think leave voters need to be constantly reminded they are utter cunts.

This morning that utter cunt Rabb was doing the media rounds talking of the ‘migrant crisis’ and the need for cooperation with France.
He is too thick to spot the irony.
I hope the French tell him to stick his cooperation up his arse.

Any leave voters successfully sorted the land border issue yet?

No. It is the remain voters responsibility to find solutions to the leave voters bigoted, short sighted stupidity.

They do have the blue/black passports manufactured in Poland and not 'completely empty' shelves to crow about. Ambivalent to the fact they enabled the #ToryScum to strip away any decency left in this country.
