Brexit disaster : Fri Jun 10, 2022 8:15 am  

The economic damage caused by Brexit, never mind the damage caused to The Union, is costing our economy £billions. Is this really a price worth paying for "taking back control" https://www.itv.com/news/2022-06-09/bre ... arch-finds

Hmmm... So an organisation that is unashamedly pro EU says we would be better off in said EU. Well I never...

Meanwhile, Rees- Mogg is stepping up production of Penny Farthing bikes and thick blankets to cope with our "prosperity"

If that report is only half right, "we've" made a pretty hefty error and if it is accurate, maybe we should send the people behind Brexit to Rwanda

Seriously though, just take a look at the trade stats, "not great" would be a huge understatement

Which figures are you talking about? The factual ones or the hypothetical guesswork ones?

There are a bit of both in the article. The CER figures, and a real world example. Ian Perkes, seafood wholesaler, despite being told by Johnson that his "business would boom", is actually spending £300 a day on customs declarations, export health certificates and VAT declarations.

Please tell us in what ways we are better off and I don’t count having blue passports printed in France, a crown added to a glass or imperial measurements all of which we were able to do anyway whilst in the EU. I would add that given JRM a job is definitely not a plus.

I did and you don’t think that the government website might be slightly biased.
