Political relations between UK-EU

It’s all very well you posting what appear to be actual things about the negative short term impacts of Brexit on actual people but no one is going to take them seriously unless you post your predicted line up in the Birmingham match thread

And anyway, those warehouse staff who appear to have been laid off and those inconvenienced Scottish fishermen should be looking to the new opportunities Brexit gives them

Over a month on nothing much has changed except those inconvenienced fishermen and fish processors are closing down, jobs are being lost and the GDP gradually shrinks. Now its moving on to pork exports and will doubtless hit spring lamb exports next.

And Gove writes stiff letters to the EU - taking back control eh?
 
The fish point is actually incredibly true.

Nearly every person on here who voted remain was saying to fuck the fishing industry as its 0.01% of GDP, if it meant a deal over no deal, myself included.

Now they spend every waking minute posting articles at how bad the fishing industry has gone.

I am consistent, I feel bad for those who work in that industry but on the scale of things, there’s far worse issues affected by Covid and it’s still 0.01% of GDP. The industry isn’t totally fucked but even if it was I’d have sacrificed it for a deal, over no deal.

This whole thread is a point scoring exercise and I actually saw one poster, who’s guilty of doing just that, accusing someone of scouting the internet to find negative Biden articles, in another thread, whilst he does the same all day every day in here.

It’s just bizarre stuff really but it is somewhat explainable.

Some of them haven’t got what they wanted at the ballot for 11 years. That’s a pretty long time to see your fellow citizens continuously rejecting your views every time of asking. They’re bitter and look at everything with a negative slant now. Not just this thread but the others on this sub forum. Apparently the UK is “regressive little shit hole country” according to some.

The reality is the vast vast majority of people aren’t really affected by Brexit. The job market saw no dip over December and January, in fact it grew in the sectors I work in. Salaries haven’t been affected, food still costs the same. The economy is set to do reasonably well. The biggest economic issue is still the pandemic. Yes, some companies have had issues exporting and yes the fishing industry is struggling, but fuck me, cheer up, the cliff edge hasn’t happened, we’re better clear of them for the sake of vaccines, which is far more important than selling shellfish and life is good.
Cobblers. Yes, fish is a small part of the economy, but Remainers wanted no change. Brexiters wanted Brexit in order to reverse decline in fishing (fail), to keep EU boats out of UK waters (fail), and boost exports (woeful fail).

If Brexit has killed the fishing industry, that's down to Brexit, and Brexiters who didn't understand Brexit, including half the fishing industry, and most of the government.
 
Probably. Brexit allows both sides to bugger each other, albeit one side has much more to bugger the other side with.

None of this helps anyone, but when countries decide to raise trade barriers it creates conflict and this is the inevitable result. Shellfish is just a foretaste of things to come.

Still, it’s nice to see that you are beginning to appreciate where the folly of Brexit leads. Instead of trade zipping back and forth with hardly a care in the world, we now have endless form filling, reduced trade, pointless regulations, an internal customs border and everyone playing silly buggers.
And this post simply confirms that the UK is far better being out of an organisation that creates this kind of conflict. When deals are struck and hands are shaken, and the other side starts to see that the results of their stultifying bureaucracy are massively detrimental to themselves, and shown in stark detail to be, to by the nimble operator over the water, to then react
in the manner they have, that's no basis for harmony.
And yes, we're aware there 'Will be more to come,' and that means consequences.

Nimble operator? Hmm, OK then

This really is the nub of it, but what I can't fathom is the perpetuation of
what makes them lose time and again. I've said it before, and I'm guilty of
the continuation of it, basically because I've got fuck all else to do, but this particular topic has run its course, it's just the same half dozen, all of exactly the same political persuasion, carping and whinging about the same things.
There used to be Tory remainers here, they appear to have vanished, as we're
out, and this argy bargy is getting a bit tedious for them, speak to folk outside this bubble and they've all moved on now.
So, for another few weeks I'll sack it off, the football is looking brilliant and off topic is funny.

We created the conflict by choosing to leave the organisation whose bureaucracy has removed such conflicts throughout Europe.

You really should get off that unicorn.

I was just going out when this shit popped up, lol.
Nothing to do with NATO at all, the Russkies were terrified about Juncker
and Ursula, a pisshead and a former German defence minister who was sacked, as the army was using brush handles, that's what kept them at bay.
How is that EU army that you said they weren't getting anyway?

I think you have a firm grasp of the wrong end of the stick.

NATO? Russkies?

You just read your war obsession into a post about getting rid of trade conflicts that a free trade bloc erased.
