Political relations between UK-EU

[smudgedj]

The real question here is will the world renowned Simon Rattle be relocating to the EU before or after he is due his uk vaccine?

Who?

Can you honestly, hand on heart, say that this hasn’t happened regarding Brexit since New Year’s Day?

Every day I’ve dipped in it’s been endless Tweets from FBPE accounts, talking about a coffee shop going bust in Somerset and blaming Brexit.

It’s part of the reason I’ve now become someone who’s ended up defending the position I actually disagree with.

To be fair, although there is some truth in what you say in that remainers, me included, post links about the negative impacts of Brexit these may be taken from Twitter but are usually from the mainstream media and usually reference entire industries or certainly bigger outfits than a coffee shop. In fact I doubt whether you could point to a post about a coffee shop whereas I can point to actual stories about the loss of a prospective 10-20 jobs in Macclesfield, now likely to be relocated to France as a direct consequence of Brexit

So it’s ok for you lot to latch onto anything that puts brexit in a negative light, but if the shoe is in the other foot it’s totally different.
Makes perfect sense

Actual stories about real businesses and people that are negatively impacted. Leavers have been asked on several occasions to provide balance by pointing out any noticeable gains these early days but by and large have been silent on the matter.

Like this - "viable" plant closing with work being transferred into Europe......wonder why

GKN factory in Birmingham set to close putting 500 jobs at risk

Up to 519 jobs are under threat with the proposed closure of Birmingham's GKN Driveline factory.

I’ve seen newspaper articles from right across the political spectrum reporting negative effects of Brexit. That includes the Express who will blame the EU for the problems, but they are problems nonetheless. I’m waiting for the positive Brexit stories and there haven’t been any. Our vaccine success and the EU’s failure really are not Brexit related but the desperation of the Brexiteers has made it such that you wouldn’t think so.
As for Twitter, I take no notice unless there’s a link to a reputable source.

I mean this thread specifically.

The coffee shop was a purposely over exaggerated example.

The thread really hasn’t progressed from last year where everything is just hyperbole, when in reality society has barely been impacted.

Tell me a Brexit success story then. As I’ve said the vaccine story is fuck all to do with Brexit however much you like to think it is. Also, in a month or so that issue will be gone but we’ll be stuck with rotten fish, pigs that can’t be exported and ridiculous costs to pay for packages delivered from Europe along with everything else.
