Renton 22007 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 3 minutes ago, NJS said: What was wrong with a second referendum was that too many people were sick of it and wanted it finished - as well as the "we won so we don't want another vote" crowd. I'm sure there were indicative votes which failed by less than ten votes. I'm not saying he wasn't a cunt - just saying there were a few tentative chances to get something better. Well yeah, getting sick of it and so voting in Johnson and his oven ready deal was clearly the best option. I'm being facetious btw, I know you're not saying that. Point is NJS, Hannon is actually blaming those who wanted to remain for the mess that is Brexit. Take a step back, does that in anyway reasonable?

Funny, I don't remember staying in the EEA ever being an option like. Those pesky remainers are at fault for not being in power and therefore not able to negotiate the deal the leavers wanted / were promised by the people they actually did vote into power. I think that’s how it works. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the indicative votes happened, some semi-decent options were scuppered by the libs and the changeuk lot because they weren't a pure revocation. They might not have been ideal but at least it might have been better. He created a mess for personal gain because, at best, he didn’t understand what he was doing. And now he won’t even countenance admitting that he might have been wrong and that he’s partly responsible for what’s ensued. That’s not having a point, it’s just passing the buck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The highly respected IW Economic Institute based in Cologne called for policymakers to take “constructive action” to avoid what they called the “horror scenario” of no deal. The boss of the BDI – Germany’s equivalent of the CBI – has also warned that a “disorderly Brexit” would be a “massive crisis” for the EU, demanding that political leaders achieve a “breakthrough in the talks” at the next EU summit.

Renton 22007 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 This is actually the crazy thing. Currently, there are no barriers to the EU exporting to us as we are unable to implement any checks or for that matter we haven't yet got any regulatory divergence yet. But our exports are hammered by non-tariff barriers. Which is why our exports to Germany have collapsed but their exports to us have actually increased.
