Only six weeks to go now until we end the transitional period. They’ll be sour alright. A three day wait in Calais will see to thst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Car Boot Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 (edited) 3 hours ago, Pettytom said: The country was perfectly successful as it was, until the crazy gang took over and pursued their vision of us as a tax haven. "The country was perfectly successful as it was"? Tell that to the millions of poorly paid workers and the underclass failed by our EU membership. No EU privilege for them. Having to visit food banks to survive. No chance of affordable, decent social housing. Competing for jobs with an EU underclass. Your statement reeks of an out of touch affluent middle-class mindset that believes everybody enjoys the same privilege as yourself. The referendum result revealed that many Remainers simply didn't have a clue about the real conditions of life for many of their fellow citizens. And many still don't.

And that will get worse under Brexit with your beloved Tories still in charge. It wasn't the EU who decided on years of austerity, it was your precious Brexiters like Rees Mogg, Johnson, Gove et al.

Indeed, CB's solution to every problem faced by any perceived underclass is always to make it worse, or cost more Sometimes you have to wonder!

Not one of the big [tech] platforms existed," he said, repeating several times during the call that Europe was "open, but sovereign." The Frenchman also indicated that the Commission would seek to trigger an exemption to WTO rules to ensure the data proposals comply, but ruled out the EU changing its commitments." Will they when/if it ever gets beyond the draft stage? The article seems to suggest the answer is "no" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
