Tbh Britain is one of the worst spots for suffering the effects of poor handling of the Covid-19 virus. We aren't saying this shit for fun. It's the truth.

From horse racing to fishing to road haulage, British industry is in chaos. No wonder leavers are turning on each other, says Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee

They could see then where this would end up and they (EU leaders) not wanting a no deal or thin deal could have made concessions then to protect the wider EU.

She leads with horse racing, I note. Horse racing is not an industry, it's a ghoulish anachronism. If brexit scours it from the earth then hurrah for Brexit.

Her assertion that Hake landed and sold in Hastings went for 2p a kilo bears examination. Was the fish five days old? Sounds well fishy to me.

Met up with Hannah Courtoy a week next Tuesday
If that’s the case my fishmonger’s a fucking mug, Hastings is about the same distance as Billingsgate from here, but Hake is a hell of a lot more than 2p a kilo

First intersubjective, then internalised
Doesn’t sound like its your fishmonger that’s the mug in your transaction there...If that’s the case my fishmonger’s a fucking mug, Hastings is about the same distance as Billingsgate from here, but Hake is a hell of a lot more than 2p a kilo
Edit because I feel that my joke is poorly enough written that it needs explaining. I am saying that your fishmonger is going to Hastings and buying the hake for 2p a kilo but then selling it to you for a lot more whilst telling you that he bought it in Billingsgate. If you need any further elucidation of this joke, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Did anyone tell the truth? I'm having trouble recalling even one incontrovertibly true statement regarding brexit. Even the name is a bullshit mangleword.

The comments on her column are worth a look. Labour (who the commenters do not support) should immediately campaign for rejoining etc.If that’s the case my fishmonger’s a fucking mug, Hastings is about the same distance as Billingsgate from here, but Hake is a hell of a lot more than 2p a kilo

The truth was out there just not represented well by either campaign.
How many people decided though based on either campaign? Did you?
Winot
I wholeheartedley agree with your viewpoint
The fact that leaving the customs union and single market would make trade harder was pretty well-documented tbh. Of course many on the Leave side said they’d be prepared to stay in, until Theresa May got her claws into it, at which point the lies about “exact same benefits” started.

The polling numbers definitely changed to the benefit of leave as the campaign progressed. Proving a causal link may be strictly impossible, I suppose.

Look out, he's got a gnu!
Presumably you voted for option three: spunking cock on the ballot then?
Because both leave and remain were Tory driven to the hilt

Tick tock.
Not asked sarcastically, but what specific things regarding the results of leaving the EU did the remain side lie about?

It wasn't mentioned in the arguments at all that's why.

No, i voted for the status quo because I didn't trust the people proposing to overturn it. I considered abstaining but worried that would play into the hands of the wreckers by giving them a slim victory.
O but how wrong I was

A couple of articles about the potential impact on small sellers using Amazon, eBay and other big online platforms were posted elsewhere last year and here we are, 150,000 small businesses negatively impacted.
www.itv.com
Still not seen anything from the lex/brex people outlining any positive aspects of brexit, possible paths to future benefits or acknowledgement of the harm done. Instead we have people dismissing the potential removal of workers rights on the grounds that they weren't really being protected by existing laws. We're supposed to believe that not having those laws somehow makes it more likely that those rights will be fought for, secured, implemented and protected now. The most striking similarity between lexit and brexit people is their disconnect from reality.

"Dear Customer,
We are currently forced to temporarily suspend all Land Transport services from continental Europe to the UK with immediate effect.
The arrangements agreed under the Brexit deal have meant enormous bureaucratic regulations particularly for recipients in the UK, which they are currently unable to handle in a legally compliant manner. Most of the recipients (Importers or Consignee’s) in the UK have never dealt with customs procedures before and need further guidance on the new regulations (e.g. the confirmation of the correct ten-digit commodity codes, providing Power of Attorney).
Therefore, we need to advise you to postpone all shipments until further notice. Furthermore, would you also please ensure that all necessary paperwork for customs i.e. export and import documentation, is in place for your shipments, as well as at the consignee i.e. all direct representation letters and HMRC information to allow for a smooth customs clearance.
We will do our utmost to support both origin and destination; shipper, and recipients and continue with our service as soon as possible.
If you have any questions, please contact your local ****** team for support and further information.
