ads36 Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Once again, our glorious leaders have chosen to delay checks on imports - because it would cause delays, add costs, add beauracracy, etc. and they told us we were taking back control... (not to mention that this puts us in breach of WTO rules) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UK is doing a shoddy job of keeping up with the neighbours: https://www.ft.com/content/b1321c43-e183-4c52-90a1-4f2eed08e88f Dan Hannan, former co-leader of the Brexit campaign: Britain is now a poor nation: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/07/22/britain-is-now-a-poor-nation-this-is-our-number-one-issue/ Is Britain really as poor as Mississippi? https://www.ft.com/content/e5c741a7-befa-4d49-a819-f1b0510a9802 Exports of services have held up relatively well while trade in goods has cratered... ...its status as the pre-eminent global financial hub is slipping away.

El Cid Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 (edited) I was listening to the radio about dropping the EU rules on river pollution, in order to build more houses. We very much need more houses, but some were not happy about more river pollution. They also implied that there would be more money to sort out the pollution issue. So really, they are not dropping the EU rules, they just wanted a story to claim leaving the EU meant something. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-66642878 Edited August 29, 2023 by El Cid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geared Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Yes, well they don't want to have to talk about the state the water network is in, and how badly the water companies behave. Because taking those things private was a very Tory idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Britain Should Stop Pretending It’s a Rich Country: https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2023/07/18/stagnant-britain-needs-growth-if-it-wants-to-be-a-rich-country/a9f39bd6-2526-11ee-9201-826e5bb78fa1_story.html "The Tory government bears much of the responsibility for these dismal facts — it has presided over the biggest fall in labor productivity growth in 260 years of data. Brexit has clearly done direct economic harm: The Bank of England has estimated that Brexit reduced investment by 25% during the five years to 2021, largely due to uncertainty. It also distracted politicians from the mundane work of fixing day-to-day economic problems." Brexit has, and continues, to suck all the oxygen out of the room... government is paralysed by the stupidity, and cost, of it's own policies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Grey Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Could anyone who voted remain please give one example of how Brexit has been a positive thing?
