I’m thinking of running of some T shirts off with the January trade figures on, stick an EU flag on and maybe a quote on from Blair/Campbell/Geldof/the CBI/the IMF/Cameron.
An ever dwindling group, depleted each year by entropy, meeting up, all spick and span to reaffirm their undying hatred for every single leave voter and the horse they rode in on.On Urban it’ll be ongoing forever
Farmers get (got) all sorts of subsidies. I have a friend who's a farmer. Well, I say he's a farmer, he isn't, he just has land that his father left him, and he claims every grant possible for it (can't blame him if its there for the taking). His latest one was bat boxes. He got a grant for putting up bat boxes around the land. Another time he got a grant for putting up new fences, because his were fucked, and grants for tidying the land, adding lime to the soil, etc.Loads of UK farmers and landowners got fortunes in set aside payments from the EU. Something I am glad has ended post brexit.
the idea of Spymaster climbing into bed with boris johnson is a mental image no one desires
... and me.Except Boris.
That was explicit in the marketing and to say otherwise is rewriting history.
Who else is there to take control back from?Yes that was the slogan, if you understood it to mean 'taking back control from forrins' then you're a moron.
Who else is there to take control back from?
The EU?Who else is there to take control back from?
c4uWhat, not who:
An unaccountable, lumbering lizard bureaucracy.
It was absolute genius I think, the take back control slogan.Oh, that?
Well that was deliberately unspecific, wasn't it?
The genius of the marketing...allowing punters to perceive whatever they wanted.

It's because I don't think in Daily Express headlines, and I also don't subscribe to the somewhat ultra-neoliberal idea that restrictions in commercial contracts are private and inviolable, whereas state intervention is tyranny. In this case, there is zero practical difference.Ask yourself this; what is your motivation in insisting on calling the contractual commitment an export ban? Why are you so keen to characterize it as such?
Take Back Control operated on so many levels, get brexit done less inspired, imo.As was Get Brexit Done.
Remain had: 'Britain stronger in Europe' - which as well as missing a comma, just sounds soggy and wet.
Three words, four syllables, imperative form of the verb. They're both perfectly crafted slogans.
Depressing really that a skilled tabloid headline writer may have made all the difference.
It was a good slogan, but there's also no slogan you could ever come up with that would have made remain not boring.It was absolute genius I think, the take back control slogan.
It'd be helpful if you read something other than The Guardian though.It's because I don't think in Daily Express headlines ...
no one sold joining the eu in the 70s as the eu was only formed in the 90sTake Back Control operated on so many levels, get brexit done less inspired, imo.
I keep thinking about how come there was such a massive majority to join in the 1st place, in the 70s, am amazed by it tbh, is anyone old enough to know how joining the EU was sold so well to the public back then?
(yes too lazy to google, it’s my bday and I’m painting the bathroom walls).
even the guardian surelyIt'd be helpful if you read something other than The Guardian though.
2/10 for bothering.It'd be helpful if you read something other than The Guardian though.

10/10 just because.1/10 for replying
And not just UKIP. Let's not forget that Johnson was explicit with his anti-Eastern European racism during the last election.Some ads were a little clearer about what they wanted to take back control of.

The genius was, of course, not only it's malleability and all things to all men quality, but it's allusion to agency for those who'd had their faces stamped on for nearly half a century.It was absolute genius I think, the take back control slogan.
