A thank you to Brexiteers.

[brogdale]

The UK government's official view of what a list of Brexit benefits would include:

The Bill’s introduction will build on the significant progress the government has made since delivering Brexit on 31 January 2020, which include:

• ending free movement and taking back control of our borders – replacing freedom of movement with a points-based immigration system and making it easier to kick out foreign criminals
• restoring democratic control over our law making – giving the power to make and scrutinise the laws that apply to us back to our Parliament and the devolved legislatures so that they are now made in Belfast, Cardiff, Edinburgh, and London, not Brussels
• restoring the UK Supreme Court as the final arbiter of the law that applies to the UK – UK judges, sitting in UK courts, now determine all the law of the land in the UK
• securing the vaccine rollout – streamlining procurement processes and avoiding cumbersome EU bureaucracy to deliver the fastest vaccine rollout anywhere in Europe last year (2021)
• striking new free trade deals – with over 70 countries including landmark deals with Australia and New Zealand.
• capitalising on tax freedoms – including getting rid of the VAT on women’s sanitary products (the ‘Tampon Tax’), introducing VAT free installations of energy-efficient materials, working on replacing complex EU alcohol duty rates, and forging ahead to remove the ban on selling in pounds and ounces
• replacing the Common Agricultural Policy – with a system in England that will enable better environmental outcomes
• taking back control of our territorial waters – managing our fisheries and precious marine environment in a more sustainable way
• making it tougher for EU criminals to enter the UK – EU nationals sentenced to a year or more in jail will now be refused entry to the UK
• restoring fair access to our welfare system – ending the preferential treatment of EU migrants over non-EU migrants, ensuring that wherever people are born, those who choose to make the UK their home pay into a system for a reasonable period of time before they can access the benefits of it
• giving UK regulators the ability and resources to make sovereign decisions about globally significant mergers – decisions about globally significant mergers and acquisitions are now made by the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority, giving it the ability to block or remedy mergers it considers will harm UK consumers
• establishing a new subsidy control regime - We passed the Subsidy Control Act, which allows us to establish our own subsidy regime to support British businesses and innovation. We will have greater freedom to design subsidies which deliver both local and national objectives

17 so far and a chair/compere so a star studded list with a cast of thousands tbh which many remainers on here will enjoy.

This includes 3 ex MEPs, a bloke who got 1% in the Mayoral elections, a poet, the woman who runs Bremain in Spain, chap who works full time for Scientists for EU, a Lib Dem Baroness, and a former Lib Dem Mayoral candidate now independent.

Also ex Eastenders star Lord Cashman, the ex physics teacher who now does YouTube videos on economics, a German Green Party MEP.

I'll post up the rest later

Phil Moorhouse, the youtube sensation, with his centrist answer to everything.

Is that Michael Cashman the same actor that played Colin? I never recognised him from almost 40 years ago. Wild.

Who the fuck any of the rest of them are is anyone's guess, but at least the scientific advisor to the Brothers Gibb is in attendance

Fucking Brexit

The extra passport checks the UK requested after leaving the EU are “not sustainable”: that is the damning view of Jacques Damas, outgoing chief executive of Eurostar.

The boss of the cross-Channel train operator revealed that post-Brexit border arrangements have reduced capacity on links from London to Brussels and Paris by one-third – forcing Eurostar “to charge higher prices to our customers”.

Brexit has cut Eurostar capacity by 30 per cent, says chief executive

Capacity at London St Pancras is down by one-third because of extra passport checks – meaning fewer seats and higher fares

Planet Remain icon.

Surely the fact that him and Bray are on the same platform makes this a must attend for all Remain supporters.

Who’s going?

Appears that we Remain in the grip of the financial markets.

Ahh... Now we are getting somewhere!

 

[philosophical]

So that cunt Steve Baker is now saying that he and his cunt mates (including in my view all who call themselves lexiters) have been dissing Ireland because of the vote to leave.
Cunts.
They can now redeem themselves by suggesting a practical and workable solution to the land border between the UK and the EU in the light of both the GFA and the vote to leave.
Six fucking years and counting

I miss the Bankers Draft; cheap beer and a good place to watch football; it's astonishing and sad that there are hardly any pubs in the area any more. When I moved there - admittedly a couple of decades years ago - there were 3 or 4 pubs within 10 mins walking distance, my neighbours can remember even more... the only ones round there I can think of still remaining are the Irish pub opposite the Catholic church and the Arnos Arms, both near Arnos Grove tube. The Bankers Draft building is still boarded up, as is the York Arms on Oakleigh Road, the other one (Rising Sun IIRC?) became a Tesco Metro years ago

Do you know what became of the Tally Ho ?

She said the brewery’s one remaining EU customer had faced multiple challenges. She said: “The first time he came over, we were up all night trying to get him through customs at Dover and out of the country.


“He was stuck because of the paperwork. He used to come over for just one night, but now it takes four days because of all the problems.”

Sounds like quite a big Brexit Boost for Kent hoteliers with trade up by at least 300%.
