How do we resolve the Brexit mess?

[andyhinch]

Some stupid cunts actually thought it would be as straightforward as leaving a golf club and cancelling your membership direct debit.

Extricating ourselves from a hugely complex international agreement which had evolved over half a century was always going to be insanely challenging and replete with danger. How could it not be? Was ridiculous to suggest otherwise, although plenty did.

What we see now is exactly what people voted for. Chaos, uncertainty and inevitable decline.

Well done guys. Well done.

Oven ready mate :-)

I've given up getting angry with our decision to leave, but I'll never forgive the lies told by their campaigners that put their own interests before the best interests of our country.

It was always going to end with us being isolated and poorer, security in Northern Ireland being compromised, and £15B added to the costs of our exporters.

'Bring back control' is going to hit the xenophobes that don't want 'them bloody forriners ,ere' and the rest of us that could'nt care less in more ways than one as this government destroys our employment, consumer and food standards in their 'bonfire' of removing the legislation we helped create as a valued and major member of the EU.

I find it hard to rationalise a decision to leave a bloc that gave us all so much protection from the worst excesses of an extreme right wing government was backed by those that will suffer the most from their deciision to put their cross in the 'leave' box.

Shooting yourself in the foot is never a good idea, and it's worth bearing in mind that brexit still hasn't really happened. Import controls haven't started yet, and for a very good reason. The lying twats that wanted us to leave know full well the negative impact that will have on our daily lives. They are shit scared of that reality so they haven't bothered implementing it.

The grace period, extended time after time, can't go on forever. It's madness that our exporters have increased costs, but exporters from the EU don't have those charges imposed on their goods.

We are fucked, and it was supported by a cheering mob that believed a message on a bus that stated we would have £350M a week to spend on the NHS but is actually being funded by an increase in National Insurance contributions, and the promised 40 new hospitals are nowehere to be seen.

Even the 'oven ready deal' is still raw and stuck in the fridge as our glorious leader wants to renege on it.

Didn't we get the Covid vaccines three months earlier because we didn't have to wait for multiple nations to approve them?

Nope, this was a lie the conservatives spread around that was immediately debunked.

​

​

Until the Brexit transition period ends on 31 December, vaccines in the UK are supposed to be authorised via the European Medicines Agency (EMA). However, since 2012, the UK’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has been free, under regulation 174, to give temporary approval to an unlicensed medicinal product in the case of certain types of public health threat, such as a pandemic.

When the MHRA approved the Pfizer/BioNTech coronavirus vaccine for use in the UK on 2 December, the government press release accompanying this announcement made clear that approval was given under regulation 174.

The government has previously said that “if a suitable Covid-19 vaccine candidate, with strong supporting evidence of safety, quality and effectiveness from clinical trials becomes available before the end of the transition period, EU legislation which we have implemented via regulation 174 of the Human Medicines Regulations allows the MHRA to temporarily authorise the supply of a medicine or vaccine, based on public health need.”

This is clear that using regulation 174 is implementing EU legislation.

In summary - we had the power to get around EU approval legislation in an emergency and act independently for 8 years before the pandemic and the government even referenced this EU law giving the UK the right to act independently in their press release about approving the vaccine.

Was this Boris Johnson or Errol Brown?

The arguments I got in trying to tell the fuckwits that country`s would have us over a barrel when making trade agreement and that trade agreements can take years. They are not sorted out one afternoon over beer and sandwiches.
The most desperate of the parties involved usual get the shaft to some extent.

That line of thinking would potentially make sense but only if the alternative in question was spending an eternity in hell having a cheese grater applied to your genitals, and even then..

It was ;-)

How can you have a referendum on greater integration with the EU when that wasn't even on the agenda within the remaining 27 countries? That is in deadlock whilst currency transfer to the poorer countries in the euro zone remains off the table.

The last paragraph sounds like the socialist version of David Frost's and Rees-Mogg's 50 year plan.

You couldn't obviously, that is what led me into the direction I took, as I thought the EU as it stood was untenable.

Utter fucking disaster, but if you feel it’s still great, fill your boots......then tell me the name of the horse that kicked your dome in and I will GodFather the ****.

On the plus side it might bring Scottish independence closer?

There was never any prospect of a government led by Cameron offering a socialist Lexit option and it’s delusional to think it was ever an option.

There was however a chance for Labour to embrace Brexit and win the election that resulted in s having the clown in charge,

I actually remember listening to someone during the campaign itself who said that being in the European Union was like living with a bullet lodged in your brain, yeh its not ideal obviously, but trying to take it out will probably kill you.
I've thought of that analogy many times over the past few years.
