A thank you to Brexiteers.

[philosophical]

Well the brexiters had an achievable goal and were ultimately successful. These bitter remaniac bellends are just howling at the moon now. The UK will not go back into the EU in any of our lifetimes. Move on!

Northern Ireland remains a member of the EU single market.
The achievable goal (as written on the ballot paper) has not been achieved.

The words “single market” didn’t appear on the ballot paper

Most words didn't appear on the ballot paper, yet zillions of words have been spoken and written arguing about what those few words which did appear actually meant.

Exactly my point.
Leave was a word on the ballot paper.

Brexiteers across the spectrum appear to agree that the version of Brexit they personally had in mind was never even tried, though they diverge on the question of whether deluded dead-end Remoaniacs will experience continued bitter defeat or a Pyrrhic victory

Some people seem to think they were being asked their opinion, their intellectual opinion, on leaving the EU. They weren't. They were being asked to give their assent to an endeavour undertaken by a bunch of right wing capitalists. It didn't say that on the ballot paper, but it didn't need to.

You've got to love brexit with all the time we've spent endlessly rehashing what words were on a ballot paper more than 7 years ago

EFTA closed the door on what I had in mind. Some leavers had drawn attention to some of Liechtensteins arrangements and made noises that they could be made to apply to UK ...so I don't blame them.

Its kind of amazing to me that anyone can sit here now and hold forth about

What Brexit meant:

without acknowledging the fact that it meant something else completely to the next person who went out and voted for it. Just bizarre at this point.

Just to remind you of the original mayism, "brexit means brexit"

Tbf that was just a vapid nonsense for the benefit of the tabloids. The detail plan if you recall was that it would be a red,white and blue Brexit

There is hope though, and where there is hope there is faith

My weird next door neighbour is off to portugal next month to see about moving there The39thStep, it'll be nice for you as more and more leave voters like him move over there having figured out its their only remaining option for the lifestyle they fancy.

There can’t be that many leave supporting ‘ex pats’ like you, might become a community over there though.

 

[krtek a houby]

There's a fair few leave supporters over this way, but they tend to be American

Anyway he’d probably just go on about his next door neighbour in England .

Let's take back our right for big industries to endanger our lives

The UK has failed to ban 36 pesticides that are not allowed for use in the EU, as campaigners say it is becoming the “toxic poster child of Europe”.

Though ministers promised the UK would not water down EU-derived environmental standards after Brexit, there have been multiple instances of divergence since the country left the bloc.


Now, the country is failing to phase out pesticides that have been found to be harmful to human health and the environment at the same rate as the EU, according to research from Pesticide Action Network (PAN).

Thirteen of the 36 chemicals are considered highly hazardous pesticides under UN definitions used to identify the most harmful substances. Four of these are highly toxic to bees, one contaminates water and one is highly toxic to aquatic organisms.

Thirty of the 36 were allowed for use in the EU when the UK left on 31 January 2020 but have since been banned by the bloc, and the remaining six have been approved by the UK government but not the EU since then

You'd think that would harm exports of related foods. Harm us most likely too of course but that's not so important.
