Political relations between UK-EU

“US, France and Italy have problems too”. Yes but we are the only ones with empty shelves. Eejit.

There’s not much sense ever in politics mate. I just think humans are eejits

There has been lots of sense in politics over the years - just the current crop are the ejits and the bone idle will let them get away with it rather than do something about it. They are just happy to swallow - they are all the same as each other - or - the other lot would be worse ( with no proof or evidence ) coz to go with that flow is just easy

It is true though.

But it would be infinitely better than this complete and utter shit show is also true.

funny that eh? Italy has said they are 15k drivers short - we say we are 100k drivers short - somehow that is an equivalent number. Are French shelves empty? Well they were in January - only in certain stores lol

M&S stores in France left half empty due to 'Brexit teething problems'

Shelves in the upmarket supermarket's food halls in Paris and Lille are bare as it becomes the latest company affected by Brexit border delays as lorries trying to cross the Channel are held up.

so were Italy's in February - but they had the balls to put it down to Covid

In terms of trade barriers but it makes the UK a rule taker, rather than rule maker.

Maybe they just disagree with you mate?

maybe so - maybe they think these people are their betters enjoy tugging a forelock and taking it up the arse - their choice - maybe they really don't need that extra 20 quid a week

Really?
We used to have a major influence in setting the rules of the world’s largest trading bloc. Now we accept their rules if we want to trade with them.
Seems you’ve got it the wrong way round.

But then again the apocalypse predicted for the economy hasn’t happened, even with a pandemic, the recovery has been fairly good - https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp....gh-but-staff-shortages-a-concern-covid-lloyds

I guess the sensible view on Brexit is it was always going to cause issues and whether those issues were worth taking some of the power back from Brussels to London was worth it, that should have been the debate but not even our politicians knew enough to say that.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing as I didn’t have a clue in 2016 and didn’t really until this year.

Well if you “didn’t have a clue” back in 2016 maybe you should have fucking listened to those of us who did. Or every single living Prime Minsister or ex Prime Minster of this country.

You don’t need to be an political expert to realise that if the loudest people pushing you in a certain direction are Farage, Trump, Botham, Johnson (both of them), Hopkins, Banks, Murdoch et al, then you are being lead down the wrong path. Neil Warnock should have been enough on his own to make you think twice for gods sake.

You did a stupid thing because you were thrown a collage of lies by unaccountable shitheads, usually with ulterior motives. If you want to quote “sensible” then have the decency to recognise that because it is now irrefutable.

Hindsight is wonderful indeed but not as good as foresight of which there was plenty.
