Europe --- In or Out

[Meenzer 15552]

That is indeed a Pie Barm.  

[Monkeys Fist 42460]

Its not though- it’s a Pie in a Bun. 
 

Is this a bus?

 

No, it’s a banana.… unless you live in Wigan where it’s probably called a fucking Long Orange or some shit. 

[Meenzer 15552]

As if anyone in Wigan knows what fruit is.

I recently found some letters from my lass and some mates that I’d kept from when I was at university. They were actually often really funny and good crack even reading them in the present. But it’s mental now to think of sending and receiving handwritten letters that were several pages of A4 long

Tl;dr

Well I finally got round to to googling tl;dr to see what it meant so Renton's post and A4 letters did have some use after all so many years later.

I see Brexit will have no effect on the NI peace process then.

But thankfully the UK government has shown all the restraint of a three year old child.

All meaningless hypothesis anyway considering the deal that’s going to get done will allow trade to continue as normal.

'Normal'

 

[Rayvin 5223]

In the interest of fairness, has this been offset by the trade deals secured with Antigua and other such economic titans?

 

With a slightly less sneering tone, how has this drop in trade been reflected within the UK in terms of consumer choices? Have we seen any shortages as a consequence?

[ewerk 30642]

Well the difference is that we haven't introduced any real border checks yet and won't do until at least July and even then probably won't give us enough time to get a system up and running.

From that thread.

calm down dears. its only business as usual

[Gemmill 44951]

I'm past caring about this shit now. It's happened, it's a fucking joke, but there's fuck all can be done. I just hope Jacob Rees Mogg has an anal prolapse. 

[Renton 21638]

 

She's got a fucking good point.

Glad we didn't put our vaccine programme in their hands mind

[TheGingerQuiff 2412]

Shambles, really. An international agreement that involved setting production facilities up in every country, or even just one capable of producing required volumes fast should have been early work.

It shows that even in a worldwide pandemic cuntish nationalism prevails.

[ewerk 30642]

You can call it what you like but the EU have had an absolute nightmare on this. Their nature is as a protectionist bloc, they chose the wrong moment not to act as such.

There is never the wrong moment to act as a Kant but not a cunt.

We won’t get out of this madness by just looking after ourselves. It needs a worldwide effort in production and distribution of vaccines to get the pandemic under control and to prevent further deaths.

Nobody could make realistic predictions which vaccines would be developed and get approved first. The more important it should have been to distribute vaccines fairly to those at risk everywhere before making sure that all people can get vaccinated.
