Better than a No Deal or not?

Well those who had the opportunity should have got dual nationality

Ireland issued thousands of pass ports

Malta were flogging pass ports ( no surprise)

Austria don't do dual. Nationality

Romania dunno tbh could have probably bartered one for a decent carpet

I've only just spotted a summary of the actual Brexit deal, after doing a search. If anyone else fancies a quick read, try this - https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-12-24/in-bullet-points-the-key-terms-of-the-brexit-deal

In short costs/bureaucracy to increase and benefits/freedoms lost!

It will be interesting to see if Brexers can come up with any benefits to counteract the damage they have caused to UK.

"Consider immigration. In the 12 months ending June 2016 (the month of the referendum), net immigration from EU plus non-EU sources was 355,000 (with net emigration by British people ignored). In the 12 months ending March 2020, net immigration was 374,000. Net immigration from the EU collapsed from 189,000 to 58,000. But that from the rest of the world — always notionally under UK control — exploded, from 166,000 to 316,000.

The UK has in fact preserved relatively favourable (albeit markedly worse) access for manufacturers, in which it has a comparative disadvantage, while accepting substantially worse treatment of services, in which it has a comparative advantage. Indeed, it fought harder for the control over fishing, which generates 0.04 per cent of UK gross domestic product, than for services, which generates the great bulk of it."

"Mr Johnson promised that the UK will “prosper mightily” even without a deal. But virtually all economists agree that the UK will be significantly poorer in the long run, even under this sort of deal, than if it had remained a member.

Even the survival of the UK is in doubt. Scotland and Northern Ireland may both leave the Union, the former to join the EU, arguing that it, too, wants “to take back control”, and the latter to join Ireland and so the EU, too. England may then have a border with the EU on the Irish Sea and the Tweed."

Which just goes to show your ignorance of those who are not a 'typical U.K. traveller' and who may wish to choose where they want to work/live/study rather than have a quickie in the sun...

Tough titty. Suck it up. They are the 0.01% I’m not concerned with if it means giving reciprocal rights, but seem to be everything to you.

Caused depletion of our nation's warchest.

Any changes to food prices after Brexit are likely to be "very modest indeed" under the deal struck between the UK and the EU, the chairman of Tesco has said.

"No it can't be true all lies i want the UK to bog down into the depths of hell and die noo no noo!!" can think thats a few people saying that on here..

What a shocker eh i can think of many other claims (that will turn out to be bs) that could go on that big red bus from the remoaners. (however i do have regrets myself despite being a leaver)

 

[Mottie]

Mottie is sounding rather bitter.

probably because he voted for less immigration....and he got more

More immigration of the right sort, less of the wrong sort. That’s a win win for the UK in my book.

Not sure if this has already been covered but there is a summary and the full text on the gov.uk website. I cant be bothered to read 16 pages of too’ing and fro’ing to see if its covered.
