Delbow Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 It doesn't bother me that EDF are French, but I think quite a few Brexit enthusiasts would be surprised at the government's keenness to over-pay a French company for electricity. But that's because they think Brexit is about some nebulous feeling of autonomy or sovereignty, when it's really about shifting more money from the less well off to the already rich.

I do wonder who the Government (any Government, not particularly this one) is going to blame for its failings now we've fully left the EU. Will they have to own their own mistakes in future rather than just blame everything on the EU bogeyman? That is, potentially, one benefit of Brexit - I finally found one!! 😂 That isn't a benefit at all. The government will blame everyone who disagrees with them, any person or institution who challenges them in the slightest way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You appear to have started what Napoleon and Hitler couldn't do. 2 hours ago, Delbow said: It doesn't bother me that EDF are French, but I think quite a few Brexit enthusiasts would be surprised at the government's keenness to over-pay a French company for electricity.

What about the Chinese element in all of this and Sizewell? Put the UK (soon to be England) into hock to other nations - take back control? Sell off control more like, and those in power pocket the money and run off with their German passports... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
