It’s 8 years on now and it’s a traceable moment to 52 percent of the country voting to throw the country in the bin, for reasons they didn’t understand. I went to bed that night being sure common sense would prevail, and I remember getting the train to work in the morning feeling utterly devastated about it and what it was going to mean. The sooner we can reverse as much as this farce as possible the better

i think in about 30 years time it will come out there was proof Russia played a massive part in it

I went on holiday to Spain a few days later and lost quite a bit of money due to not buying Euros earlier and the pound plummeting. The expat driver who picked us up was absolutely furious as he knew his right to work there was in danger. One of the most spectacularly moronic things a country has ever done, and it just keeps on getting worse.

Global manufacturing, covid, war in Ukraine has led to a global shortage. Plus increasing inflation hasn't helped, nor have our governments lack of contingency plans.  The main shortage in this country are drugs to treat ADHD.

"But exiting the EU has left the UK with several additional problems - products no longer flow as smoothly across the borders with the EU, and in the long term our struggles to approve as many medicines might mean we have fewer alternatives available."

'They don't flow as smoothly" oh well....Thankfully no deaths, a lot of inconvenience for certain drugs for certain ailments. Mainly ADHD.

The UK has rejected a EU offer that would make it easier for people aged between 18 and 30 to study and work abroad in the wake of Brexit.

The European Commission had said the deal would be a limited arrangement, not a restoration of free movement.

But No 10 has rejected the offer, stating "free movement within the EU was ended".

The UK already runs schemes with some non-EU countries to allow people to come to the UK for up to two years.

It says it is open to extending that to individual EU member countries, rather than throughout the EU.

 

"We are not introducing an EU-wide youth mobility scheme - free movement within the EU was ended and there are no plans to introduce it," a government spokesperson said on Friday evening.

Downing Street said it prefers country-by-country deals to an agreement that would apply across all 27 member states.

And Labour has said it has "no plans for a youth mobility scheme" if it wins the general election later this year.

A party spokesperson said it had already pledged "no return to the single market, customs union or free movement" if it takes office.

It added it wanted to improve the UK's relationship with the EU by agreeing new arrangements for recognising work qualifications, trading food and agricultural products, and touring performers.

Europe’s not doing Germany much good, but Russia’s gas is - and China will make Germany 100% renewable in electricity by about 2030 or something.

 

They know the important relationships.

 

Labour should be pushing to build bridges with the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation and BRICS - might actually get them into government in the next decade.

 

It could be all yours - you can be another BRIC in the wall:

 

 

European Parliament just passed the Forced Labour Ban, prohibiting products made with forced labour into the EU. 555 votes in favor, 6 against and 45 abstentions. Huge consequences for countries like China and India

Hittin where it hurts:

 

Britons Finally Taste Full Brexit as Costly Border Checks Begin | EU food imports to the UK are about to get more expensive and complicated — and it starts with bacon

Just down the corridor from where Danish Crown’s pigs are slaughtered, boned and prepared for export as bacon, six staff have a new task: filling in customs and health certificates made necessary by the UK’s split from its largest trading partner.

The scene at the abattoir in Blans, Denmark, lays bare the change created by Brexit: More time than ever spent on untangling red tape for shipments to Britain. From April 30, the UK will impose checks on fresh food imports — a stark reversal from the era of frictionless trade when the country was part of the European Union.

Ministers have delayed the change multiple times, wary of stoking inflation in a cost-of-living crisis and knowing that any repeat of empty supermarket shelves — caused in recent times by everything from climate change to a shortage of truck drivers — would be politically toxic.

But almost eight years after the 2016 Brexit referendum, companies and consumers are about to experience close to the end result.

No amphetamine shortage here in the Netherlands.

The EU should break in half IMO, or at least have a two-tier structure. 

 

The EC was boss, seven or eight democracies or whatever it was, a loose alliance. 

 

Then it became this vast unwieldy beast with Eastern Europe bolted on, half of which are going back to being crackpot authoritarian regimes built on our cold, hard cash. 

 

France, Germany, Britain, Belgium, the Nordic countries, Finland, Spain, Portugal, Austria (as long as they stop being racist), cut the others loose - especially fucking Italy.

I don't eat bacon, processed food is bad for you. Plus if I did it wouldn't be the Danish stuff. I did suffer when Nandos ran out of Piri Piri sauce that weekend though. That much I'll admit. 

 

 

A general election in Britain this year, not one party has put rejoining the EU on their menu. Bacon or no bacon. Wonder why?

Nandos is South African you melt. Looks like education in Wales has been fucked for longer than just during the Tory reign.

I wasn't being entirely serious. I didn't really have a meltdown over the lack of Piri piri chicken in a fast food outlet.
