There’s always an excuse if people are willing to allow you to get away with stuff
There’s always an excuse if people are willing to allow you to get away with stuffDoes beg the question when an appropriate comparison is, mind you. March, April last year were a total shit-show whereas now they're functioning to a degree, so you'd expect an increase in exports then but, that'd be despite of Brexit rather than because of. Clearly Jan last year to this isn'ta fair comparison, either.
The pandemic's come at an ideal time for all this(!)

Am I right in thinking that a country that helped shape how EU would enact laws to third countries, then voted to become a third country, is now complaining that the EU is now applying laws (that it helped to create) to a third country?
It really is all going swimmingly isn't it?
He should take it up with whoever signed that deal.
A small aside, but some of the best fish and chips I've had were in Newlyn. They had on the menu whatever was fresh off the boats, so it was John Dory and chips, and it was fantastic.Yeah but fish are getting new names.

Had similar in Rye many years ago before turning veggie. Don’t recall what fish it was but it had been caught that day and landed in Rye harbour and not something you would see on a chippy menu anywhere else. It was advertised as tastier than cod and it was by a long shot.A small aside, but some of the best fish and chips I've had were in Newlyn.

Happier and better named fish.... JRM must be reaching climax as we speak....Yeah but fish are getting new names.

The good news stories just keep rolling in!
Funny how this thread/forum was 56% leave yet there is barely a Leaver in here trying to defend this.
In a few years time it'll be like the Iraq war. Everyone that was for it at the time wants nothing to do with it years later and pretends they were against it at the time. You'll be hard pushed to find someone who admitted voting Leave in 20 years time.
The reason there are almost no leave voters on this thread is because they have watched five years of bedwetting happen and whenever they have tried to have a rational debate, they have been shot down or piled on for having a different opinion.
This thread will still be going in ten years time with certain people desperate to find small victories to try and preserve their egos because they still cannot hack that they lost a vote back in 2016. Amazingly they are unaware that the same sneering and arrogance contributed to their loss.
Even the most respectful of leave voters have generally taken their ball to go and play somewhere else, and who can blame them? The state of this thread is a joke. The lack of self-awareness such as your post just proves my point entirely though. It is also one of the most taboo subjects I've encountered in my lifetime, and in public people seldom talk about it. Of course, both sides are to blame for that, however, as someone who was extremely on the fence at the time of the vote, I can say with absolute confidence that 80% of the people I was talking with about the vote who got angry with my view point, quote: 'The EU does some good things, but it also does some bad things', were remain voters who started the insults and the bullying. I've been open enough to say that contributed to me going the other way, and perhaps if people like you were more fair and adult, not only wouldn't you have lost, but you might actually have some people thinking it is worth their time trying to have an open and honest debate.

The glee with which some flew in when the EU were playing fast and loose with Northern Ireland shows, of course, that leavers are principled, honourable fellows, who piously keep away from talk about the EU for fear of upsetting those nasty remoaners.yes, that's why there's no leave supporters on here.
Nothing to do with it going to shit.
And if things turn around and Brexit starts to deliver what we were promised i'm sure they'll stick to their guns and not revisit this thread.
To be honest I am long over it - the last 4 years has shown that the UK government is equally as corrupt as the EU one. It doesn’t matter where and how the land lies - the richest people will continue becoming even more so, and the poorest and most vulnerable will continue to get shafted by who governs them.The reason there are almost no leave voters on this thread is because they have watched five years of bedwetting happen and whenever they have tried to have a rational debate, they have been shot down or piled on for having a different opinion.

Come on. It’s not like the PM is threatening to trigger Article 16 himself.The glee with which some flew in when the EU were playing fast and loose with Northern Ireland shows, of course, that leavers are principled, honourable fellows, who piously keep away from talk about the EU for fear of upsetting those nasty remoaners.
They’ve had enough of exports.Seriously though, are the leavers happy? Month in now, how’s it panning out?
She also sang the praises of the trade deal too.what an arsehole this woman is
I read something the other day about 7000 jobs in finance already moved to the EU in the last four years and the big players are looking at the next round of job moves earlier than expected. Project “fear” predicted 40000 lost U.K. jobs from the finance sector in London. Suddenly that’s looking tangible.tomorrows FT
Early days but if this keeps on going like this someone needs to be held accountable.

The notion we’ve taken back control only ever exists for an elite few. Everyone else has none.
