Given the swift response and huge amount of sanctions imposed by the EU, I can finally see some benefits of Brexit. The huge clanking chain of the Tory party is finally off their necks and they can crack on without being held back by the UK ‘voice of reason.’

Who knew that, especially given what’s going on 3.5 hours away, that sharing sovereignty might not be such a disastrous idea…….

It’s quite amazing given how important “sovereignty” was to the Brexit architects, that an invaded country Ukraine are trying to fast track EU membership. Surely they should be desperately clinging on to their right to impose their own lightbulb wattage standards as a matter of life and death.

I voted for Brexit.
I believe all refugees fleeing war or persecution should be entitled to enter into this country.
Checks have to be made on people coming here, but it should be made easier for the poor refugees of Ukraine, Syria, Afghanistan, or wherever they are without them having to tear their arses across europe.
It was disgraceful how Afghans who have served our country were just left to fend for themselves when the west pulled out.
I never voted Tory.

I've replied on here instead of the thread you posted on because it's of little relevance to Ukraine.

You probably shouldn't have voted for Brexit then if that's your view on how we should treat refugees. It was always very clear that a key element of Brexit was about strictly controlling the flow of people coming into the UK. Remember Farage's nazi style "Breaking Point" picture showing a queue of migrants? That now bears a striking resemblance to the queues of people at the Polish and Moldovan borders. If you missed that during the Brexit campaign you really weren't paying attention, and if you saw it there's no point moaning about what has happened, because it's exactly what you voted for.
 
None of this should be news to anyone - comes when you vote yourself to become a 3rd country of which they were all aware

The Express is just getting more weird. Scroll down to the "story" about someone on GB News saying the EU inviting Liz Truss to discussions about Ukraine is a reversal of EU attitudes: "EU mocked for reversing Brexit threat".

There was a time when what the Express said, like the Government, bore some sort of resemblance to reality, however strained it may be.

Those days are gone.

They have taken a stance that everything EU is viewed via the prism of Brexit and in a them v us battle which they present as ever as a victory for us - I would honestly not be surprised to see " EU provides UK with shotgun. UK shoots its own foot off in Brexit win " as a headline

Members of my family run a fish and shell-fish business in Cornwall. Most produce was exported but less now because of the horrendous volume of paperwork as explained in the article.
Albeit a small contributor to GDP what has happened to UK fishing is all what’s wrong with Boris and Brexit. Oven cooked deal, my arse. Reclaim our territorial waters, my arse.
The UK fishing industry has been sacrificed. It won’t recover. The politicians will pretend everything is rosy and move on.
