A thank you to Brexiteers.

Why would you have to brexit in order to further privatise the health service though? You don't, so i'm not convinced the two things are really related. And anyway whatever they may want they know that the voters are definitely not with them on this one. They even stuck the NHS on the brexit bus because they know how people feel about it.
There's a raft of biotech being pushed by the US that's incompatible with EU health regulations. GM crops and their associated pesticides, light-touch pharma regulation, etc... It's not just the NHS that brexit hands over, it's the whole food chain too.
 
I'm sure everyone here will enjoy this article as much as i did.
For if – and in my view when - that judgment pronounces Brexit not just a mistake or a disappointment but an abject failure and a disastrous folly, then new possibilities will flow.

Bless
 
Yeah fair enough. Deregulation was definitely a long term goal, and if voters actually want it or not might turn out to be irrelevant.
Of course voters interests are "irrelevant" - as are "brexit's promises" "destined to fail" or otherwise. That is the nature of govenrment by elite. Theres a bit of media management required, but theyre good at that - for example they're already successfully saying Freeports and Charter Cities are a sign of Levelling up and Brexit Dividend. They are adept at saying Night is Day.

These things take time :thumbs:

What's pissed me off is people who think that if it doesn't happen now it'll never happen. What brexit has done is accelerate a range of contradictions which are only now beginning to bear fruit.

does the word bless mean that you think brexit will not go down in history as an abject failure and a disastrous folly? That's sweet.
 
you could move
to the USA

simplistically, in its present incarnation Brexit is about swapping the EU for the USA+(dreams of 'Global' Britian). A dangerous swap. If something lexity can come of it long term well then great, but I dont see much reason to be hopeful of that in the short-mid term.
 
bimble's never really struck me as someone who'd enjoy living in the states.

Have also posted this in the appropriate UK Covid thread, but I thought it might produce some discussion here.
I know that expressing a voting preference for REFUK doesn't exactly equate to pro-Brexit, but I'm assuming it's a pretty close fit.



e2a: should have said; the data is from the latest (Wave 21) British Electoral Study with a 30k+ sample size which gave a REFUK sub-set sample size of 478.
 
Which is why I have not posted on a single one, in spite of having a daughter who considers herself trans but I can’t ask the community here for help/advice cos of the way that shit goes.
Isn't someone who considers themselves trans just trans, or is there some sort of committee for designating trans people that I'm unaware of?
