A thank you to Brexiteers.

It is good that Labour are not trying to undo what was done but are wanting to fix some of the glaring Tory errors. The policy announcement in itself is not enough to get my vote. What about you? Would it swing your vote?

So far it really does look like lower food standards are the only definite concrete thing we have got as a result of our new sovereignty.

This is a few months old and i only saw it because of the news about 'deadly superbug found in british pork'. :thumbs:

UK risks falling behind on reducing farm antibiotics after EU ban

New restrictions on administering drugs to healthy animals come into force across EU to tackle critical overuse, but UK fails to follow suit

at least no tory leader can pledge to be the man who brought about or got brexit done


could lead to a net lose of typical none voters next time around for the Tories


of course anyone not voting is a bit of a shame but if its Boris fans

we need more small violins
 
This is how fucking shit Brexit is:

New polling by Ipsos UK in partnership with the EU:UK Forum shows that the proportion of Britons who think the UK’s exit from the EU has made their daily life worse has risen from three in ten in June 2021 to 45% now. Seven in ten of those who voted Remain feel this is the case, up from half last year – and the proportion of Leave voters who say the same has doubled over the same period, from 10 to 22 per cent.

It's about dog food companies reporting a rise in interest in their vegan products, after travellers from Great Britain were banned from bringing meat and dairy products into the EU as personal imports after Brexit, acclimatising dogs to a vegan diet ahead of travelling.

Also mentions this recent study which suggests that "the pooled evidence to date indicates that the healthiest and least hazardous dietary choices for dogs, are nutritionally sound vegan diets".

When I see polls like this, I'm fascinated to know in what way the 17% who think their daily life has been made better by Brexit. I can't help wonder whether, if you asked them, they'd mutter something about sovereignty or straight bananas.

I wonder this, because whenever I've had a conversation with a pro-leaver, even when I was being careful not to make my own position clear, their reasoning was invariably rather nebulous about the whole thing...as if they were waiting for the choirs of angels and Great British Sunbeams to shine down from the clouds, rather than actually having something concrete about it to feel good about.

I suspect that a lot of the group who've moved into the "worse" category are those whose faith in angel choirs and sunbeams has diminished in the face of the evidence.

It's why we paid an extra £100 for Le Shuttle next weekend. "Next available service" isn't nearly the same level of inconvenience. To be sure, it will be backed up to hell and back as well, just that it's less annoying to cope with.

those pesky French border guards not turning up to work. lol
 
There were 2 queues to get into Switzerland the other day, one for Swiss& EU and one for everyone else. The everyone else queue was very very long and it was about 40 degrees in there. Woman with UK passport was told by a member of staff “no, that doesn’t work anymore” and sent to the back of the everyone else. I think I half expected them to treat us as honorary members but no. Was smugly glad as always that I’d brought all my various passports. Stupid brexit is stupid.

Laughing at people stuck in a queue for hours on end isn't a great look, whoever they are.

How do you or Toby know what percentage of them wanted a hard border with France, or even voted to leave the EU (the two things are not synonymous)?

And for all you know some of them might even be touring musicians :eek:

I'm not laughing at them. I'm just exasperated that we're in this never ending shitstorm and equally baffled by the Brexit fans who continue to insist that it's all been worth it because [insert vague wibble here].

Maybe the ire was aimed at leave voters, rather than the people in the photo? It's not beyond the realms of possibly.

What's the big attraction of Switzerland to non EU/everyone else people ?
