Great Britain 2

[Notch7]

Funny, remainers have been saying that since 2016. You watch, next year they’ll still be saying it. Always 'next year'.

its been happening steadily already

of course you know very well problems will accelerate at end of transition


since 2016:
sterling down 20%
DFI down 19%
banks have moved $1 trillion assets out of UK
panasonic gone to amsterdam
sony gone to holland
AXA moved staff to ROI
UBA moved to Paris
EMA closed in UK
Honda closing

An M.P.'s duty is to do what he thinks is best for the country

Not Tory MPs, they just accepted a nice cabinet job and chucked principles under a bus



Liz Truss, Secretary of State for Justice & Lord Chancellor
We have on our doorstep access to a single market of 500 million people for our fantastic UK products. I think we need to build on that, rather than leave the European Union. No single country has full access for agricultural products without being a full member of the EU.

I believe that farmers are better off remaining in a reformed EU. The vast majority of our exports are to the EU—for example, 97% of lamb exports and 92% of beef exports. As part of the single market, we do not face the tariffs and barriers that we face in trying to export to other countries. That is vital for the health of our farming industry

Maybe Suella Braverman might overrule the government's decision. She is the Chief Law Officer in UK.

Overruling government decisions
As well as providing legal guidance to the government, the attorney general has the power to overrule government decisions if necessary

Or perhaps Swella is responsible for guiding the government down the lawbreaking route.

What a fantastic law officer she must be to recommend illegality.

that appears to be one article created by a brexit think tank (open Europe) and was spread around online.

Weird how exactly the same wording was used on every news site and they were all put up on the 21st of January

none of this news appears to have been updated at all since.

obviously it was fake news.

Well, while asking what actually makes Britain the best place in the world, I seem to have riled quite few jingoists even being told I was not worthy to ask.

Presumably this is because they realised that they could not actually think of anything that favourably separated Britain from a lot of other places.

So, part 2 is for those who still think the 'Great' means wonderful. P.s. it does not.


What are the things about Britain that you do not like?

There is no best place in the world to live, some are very bad places to live and many people view Britain as a paradise compared to a lot of countries it is.
People are risking their lives to cross the chanel unfortunately This country isn't a paradise nor is anywhere else.

Labours big mistake was not wholeheartedly supporting Brexit

Nonsense. You think brexit will be a one term problem?
Brexit will be responsible for the rise of Labour and the slaughter of brexidiots nationally.

Pellosi is already warning Bozza not to jeopardise the NI agreement. If he meddles - no deal with the US.

Get Brexit Done, lol.

If they can do the Med, they can pi$$ the Channel.

So is it ok for American opportunists to meddle in the affairs of the UK but the democratically elected leader of the UK shouldn't.

Meddle?
Terrorism is a global problem.

What has terrorism got to do with it.
Pelosi is no better than Trump, every thing she says is for domestic consumption by one political lobby or other.
American foreign policy is driven by vested interests and the need to appease dumb voters.

What a state when the only thing stopping the beatings, shootings, and bombings is some signatures on a wodge of paper.......

"Brexit: ‘Absolutely no chance’ of US-UK trade deal passing Congress if Boris Johnson damages Good Friday Agreement, Pelosi warns"

Dumb UK voters don't understand the concept of 'vested interests'!

 

[noseall]

And...?
Pelosi is saying that if you want a trade deal with the USA then don't jeopardise NI agreement.
We don't have to trade with them and it would be no great loss, surely?
