The fishing industry is finally catching on to the realities of brexit. Too late sadly.

That is unfortunately what happens when you take the word off numerous grifters instead of industry experts such as Robin Turner.

@Deleted member 9744 this is very offensive to @Alan Dugdales Moustache I can’t recall you condemning this? As you’ve now seen it and I’m sure you would be politically neutral on insults you will now condemn this? There’s about another 50 posts lined up as I’m sure you aren’t a hypocrite that only allows abuse one way?

Another Brexit benefit. Why have 1 standard phone charger when you can have eleventy. No doubt the phone chargers will be happier for it. Scrapping the benefits barrel now.
Hopefully the phone companies won’t see the “benefit” of not standardising for one spec in the corner of Europe so this sensible policy will trickle down.

Just reading the Rees-Moggs latest brexit bonus is sparkling wine in plastic bottles. Already mocked by the industry as all but a minority of sparkling wines are fermented in the bottle with pressures reaching levels that would tear a plastic bottle to shreds. As someone has eloquently put it he’s a man educated beyond his intelligence.

He's even failed on the patriotic front as it was an Englishman who invented the glass bottles which could withstand the pressure about a century before the French cottoned on. What a moron

Rees-Mogg again proving that he’s a man educated above his intelligence
Is this really the best they can come up with. Spending fortunes changing and moving signs in a tunnel to do the same job with zero benefit.

I used to regularly drive through the tunnel andI can honestly say I wasn't aware of those signs,they could have been written in Chinese for all I know.

I hope he never travels abroad. Killed by not understanding funny numbers on signs in a road tunnel meaning he wasn’t able to escape an ensuing fire. His final words were “what does it all mean?”.

Also, what does funny numbers mean. The whole world adopted arabic numerals about 8 centuries ago. Even someone like him trapped in a Victorian mindset will know what arabic numerals are.

Also I’m guessing he’s never been to Wales. I’d understand if he said Welsh road signs can be confusing. Bloody EU.

Nobody voted for that. The brexit vote and implementation of it are two separate things and conflating them as one isn't helpful, it plays into the silly argument that everything is or isn't down to EU membership.
So, move on from the yes / no and rightly hold the Tories feet to the fire that the promises they made are all broken.

The promises they made were all bollocks not broken. They had to be tangible in the first place to be broken. You’re first clue that they wasn’t is the people selling them. The moment the likes of Boris, David Davies, Ian Duncan Smith, Jacob Rees-Mogg, Dominic Raab etc etc started selling brexit alarm bells should have started ringing.

it is perfectly possible to have seamless trade with the EU without being an EU member, that is what was promised and what has been broken

It is. But no one was selling that.

I mean, yes you did. You voted for more trade barriers, which always hurts an economy. You might not have realised it, but you did. There was never a magic Brexit that meant economic growth. It was always a trade off for other things.

How? You want frictionless trade you need common standards. Or did you want to have the rules dictated to us without us having any say? Why?

The EEA option would have been the best compromise.

It’s still a shit deal. We’ve been holding our finger on the scales when the EU makes decisions on things like finance and tax for ages. And it means FoM and EU law in the U.K., which was supposed to be the whole point of leaving.
It’s where we’ll end up because of political and economic gravity, and everyone will be pissed off. Best case now is we rejoin on a much worse deal.
So fucking stupid and I can’t believe people are still believing in unicorns six years later.

You agree you could have seamless trade with the EU without being a member. I didn't say it was without downsides but it was the best compromise and the cretins in the remain campaign ignored it.

You talk about living the world as it is now yet on this issue you're not. There was no plausible route to remain after 23/6/16.

In what way is keeping the things we voted against a compromise?

Of course not. But that’s not when people voted on promises. The issue isn’t implementation is the point. The issue is the result itself.

The wording of the vote was purely about leaving the European Union

People voted to leave by the same token. Urge labour to demand another referendum in the next manifesto and see what happens
