Post Brexit - part 21

[chelseachelsea]

Right, so I imagined the TV programme I saw when Welsh sheep farmers were complaining that they couldn't sell their lamb in Europe at a whole lot more than they can get for it in the UK, and that they could go under because the UK wont pay the high prices they can get in Europe, especially France.

I'm glad I didn't really watch that programme so I could make things up to post on here.

Brexit hasn't really lived up to its billing.

Oh it has, it's wound up so many cunts even 8 years later.

So it was worth wrecking the the lives of British farmers, fishermen, small business holders, caterers, steelworkers, car workers etc just so you could pick a fight with those who warned about the harmful consequences of brexit.

Exactly. We never actually hear any benefits of Brexit, just comments that people are glad it's happened. Sounds a pretty flimsy justification to me, but then again, we know why a lot of people voted for Brexit, and it had nothing to do with economics

More innuendo loaded shite.

If you know why a lot of people voted for Brexit, have the balls to say so, instead of hiding behind snidey and oblique remarks and boss eyed smilies.

No problem, Zambo.
I suspect immigration was a huge factor in the Brexit vote. Farage knew that, which is why he was proud to stand in front of that scaremongering poster:

[The Tick]

Brexit was a dislike of Johnny foreigner. Ironically, the practical consequences of brexit mean that the UK is more reliant on migrant labour than ever and inward migration levels are at an all time high. With a bigger proportion of migrants coming from way beyond Europe. Brexit has achieved the diametric opposite of what its champions intended.

Or as I call it, more winning.

[The Tick]

Speaking of more winning...

Passport rules: 'Escorted through the airport like a criminal'

Disappointed holidaymakers whose EU travel plans were ruined when they were caught out by the "10-year-passport rule" have been speaking to the BBC.

Until 2018, UK travellers could transfer up to nine months from an old passport on to a new one. But post-Brexit, EU countries will not accept passports more than 10 years old.

Immigration was indeed a factor, but successive Governments have fucked that up. There were also several other reasons why people voted to leave the EU, none more so than being involved with a corrupt cesspit.

Certain people however, appear to get satisfaction of making groundless accusations of racism and homophobia as the reason why huge numbers of people voted out. Having a concern about the numbers of people migrating to this country, doesn't mean they have a hate for foreigners. It just means that they don't think we have the infrastructure in place to cater for the numbers.

[The Tick]

People voted brexit because they didn't want foreigners in their vicinity.

The "corrupt cesspit"

The day after OUR prime minister gave a knighthood to someone just because he gave them money. And a couple of weeks ago refused to return the money from another donor who is a racist.
The same week after a Tory MP resigned after being caught in a bribery trap.
The same week we heard that only 10% of the famous levelling-up money has been spent. And MOST of what has been spent has been spent propping up MPs in marginal seats.
The same week the stories about Gove helping his mate to steal millions of PPE money started to crystallise.
The week after a minister used our money to pay compensation for entirely unnecessarily slandering someone.
And on the horizon the corruption scandal of the Teeside freeport will hove into view.

Yes, absolutely, I'm sure that's right.

I never saw homophobia mentioned in the Brexit debate. Whilst people can criticise immigration and not be racist. The basic point I make about that point of view is this.

Roughly 6% of people entering the country are asylum seekers or illegal.
The other 94% are here on legal visas and are at record numbers.
All coverage is about the 6%.
If it was a debate about infrastructure capability to handle the it would be far more concerned with the 94%.
But they are almost never mentioned in the media or by politicians. I was watching politics live a few weeks ago when legal migrants were brought up the Tory MP started talking about boats.

[Sunbeam Alpine]

Let's be fair.
Whether or not Brexit supporters here were motivated by immigration, it's pretty clear that many who voted Leave were.
I remember listening to them.
And all that has happened is that we have replaced the largely better-educated immigrants from the EU, with less well equipped migrants from elsewhere. And had to erect a massive, expensive, and largely dysfunctional apparatus to do it.

[birdie]

I think that many of those over a certain age who remember what we joined in the first place were fed up with what the EEC has become, not a free trading bloc but a political institution, a Untied States of Europe in which EU laws took precedence over out laws honed over a thousand years of history and strife.
People were fed up with the ECHR which prevented criminals being deported because they yuman rights would be infringed, leaving some of those who should have been sent home to rape and even murder again.
We couldn't sent Eastern bloc criminals or Jamaican Yardy gang member back to their home countries to serve their sentences there because the jail conditions infringed their yuman rights so we sent £millions to Jamaica to upgrade their jails,

There's plenty more if someone wants to spend their time trawling the internet, but one thing for sure, I'm counting the seconds before a pro EU response tells me I'm either homophobic, racist or just plain stupid.

[The Tick]

People were fed up with the ECHR which prevented criminals being deported because they yuman rights would be infringed, leaving some of those who should have been sent home to rape and even murder again.

The UK is still committed to the ECHR post brexit. The Northern Ireland good friday agreement has seen to that.

More winning.
