it seems that european standards were actually loads better than anything our rulers are prepared to offer, and a leave vote was a vote to have worse

Well apart from standards on minimum annual leave , maternity pay etc and that very often there was no point in coming up with something different as the Directives applied to the U.K. but I see where you are coming from .

unless you are in France mind

So, 6 months on and the country hasn't imploded financially, everyone's travelling around Europe pretty much as before, the supermarket shelves are full, loads of fuel at petrol stations and pump prices in the UK are lower than those in Germany, Italy, Holland, and Luxembourg.

The remoaniacs must be fuming!

 

[The39thStep]

unless you are in France mind

‘reform’ of working conditions and pensions is a key part of Macrons ( who incidentally just announced a pact with the right) manifesto. That the French working class have so far resisted these attempts is to be applauded , however I think you’ll find that the EU isn't leaping in to aid them as it’s busy being an excuse for Macrons ‘reforms’ .

talk more about the 28 days holiday and the 35hour working week

You talk and I will listen . I’m sitting comfortably.

Yep, not fully implementing Brexit appears to have been one of the government's more successful Brexit policies.

Britain delays full post-Brexit import checks until late 2023

Britain has delayed imposing its full post-Brexit import controls on goods from the European Union again, pushing it back until the end of next year, saying it did not want to add more fuel to fast-rising inflation.

So nothing to do with the EU legislation/ directives ?

 

[Ax^]

you'd mentioned not better alternative the UK holiday entitlement


France has got a better alternative

 

[Chilli.s]

and doesn't everywhere else have better pensions than here too

 

[The39thStep]

France has got a better alternative

I'm not sure what you mean in the first sentence but predictably the issue in your second sentence has absolutely nothing to do with EU legislation.

 

[The39thStep]

and doesn't everywhere else have better pensions than here too

UK state pensions are an absolute disgrace but there is no EU legislation on a minimum state pension rate.

I will repeat once more, albeit in lower case, that this is absolutely nothing to do with EU legislation.

Promising they’d implement it and then not doing it and blaming the EU for asking them to actually impose the border they agreed to is an absolute masterstroke.


The obstinate EU, still to blame for all of the UKs problems, forever and ever amen. Please do not look to closely at Westminster thank you

loads of fuel at petrol stations

You've not tried to get fuel in Durham then? Twice I've had to get super fucking unleaded because the forecourts are dry. Diesel the past week has been as rare as rocking horse shit.

There are examples of how conditions in individual states in Europe are better than some in the UK but we are dealing with conditions in 26 individual states, however, none of those are laid down by the EU. There are also many examples of conditions in the UK that are better than those in the 26 states.

 

[Artaxerxes]

Bit tough for some but I can still get a twix in Tesco so really no downsides to our socialist brexit paradise so far.
