Brexit next week: give me a positive effect it will have on my daily life

[billo]

I just got my new driving license through after ten years up on my current one. It’s still pink with “EU” on it. Total disgrace if you ask me, we didn’t fight two world wars etc. Prison camp guards is still punishing us. It’s BINO if you ask me, stands to reason dunnit.

Me too, I may cut that corner with the EU flag off or punch a hole in it
At least we have our blue passports now, or so the Daily Express thinks

Yes, and I do get that calling such people dimwitted, or similar, is not very helpful. But it's a little bit cathartic.

Tis victimless

Not if I get hold of the dimwitted %$&%£&8s it isn't...

Quite. Where is that report into Russian interference in UK politics, including the EU referendum? Did I miss its publication? I know Johnson managed to find time to approve its publication a couple of days after the election when it was impossible to do this before.

Don't be surprised if it never gets published. He's stopped it so far by saying it has to go back for the new sub-commitee that produced it to re-approve it. My guess is that they will find some way to bury it.

He’s dealing with important matters of state like bunging bobs for big Ben bollocks bongs and working on his new bridge between Scotland and Ireland.

Fair enough... I'm sure he knows what he's doing

Brexit? Next week?

What's that all about then?

That and the Jennifer Arcuri inquiry will also be buried somehow.

I don’t mind him paying for sex but just not with tax payer’s money

Where's today's Max Clifford when you look? There has to be a book in this.

Do you think he bunged her a bob for a bounce on her bangers?

 

[ian123running]

they spend nearly £200 million every year on moving the whole shebang from Brussels to Strasbourg for one week every month

Ah-ha the positive effect! The EU population is about 500 million so Rcook can now claim back his/her 40 pence a year! Raise a glass on the 31st.

Purchase tax at abolition was 25%

You can't really get away with highlighting the numerical difference between a purchase tax and VAT. It doesn't mean anything.

Gotta love these idiots who think failure of the EU somehow would not adversely affect the UK.

Howso? Will all the ex-member states still not trade with UK openly once the EU collapses?

It isn't all trade related. Travel, security and residence would hardly benefit from swift divergence into different rules or requirements. It's all added cost and buggerance but you know that full well.

To be honest I don't know much. But I sense huge opportunity for all if it collapses. Travel and residence is just paperwork. Buggery to a tiny degree.

Like the sort of opportunity seized upon by the oligarchs at the fall of the USSR, perhaps?

Not really.

 

[Sue Pertwee-Tyr]

So it'd be different how? And why?

I don't get the fishing bit. So Norway flexes its muscles in the annual negotiations with the EU and still exports most of its fish to the EU. But UK will not be able to do similar.
