Cable Forum - Britain outside the EU

I have made my position on here very clear many times, but once again:

I voted Remain. Mainly because I knew the extrication process would be a circus and six years on........here we are.

After the referendum result. I accepted and was happy to look forward to moving on, as constantly moaning, whinging, gloating etc is bad for the country, if we're going to go forward we have to go together and I find the joy that some people get for every hiccup and mistake we make whilst we're trying to move on quite disgusting.

My position now. Six years of watching the EU behave as they have done has made me believe that in our future we are better off without their management.

Well said, cracking post.

The bureaucratic red-tape ones, I’m guessing…

Just giving the non-specific generalised answer in advance. ;)

Unfortunately for you Pierre, the gravity of trade will always tie us into the EU. Leaving the EU won't stop the debate on our optimum relationship with the bloc. As we've seen this weekend, few would agree we have the optimum relationship right now.

Yeah the ones that protect people from all sorts of nastiness, like dumping raw sewage in the waterways, that's the brexit dividend, the wealthy and unscrupulous taking full advantage of their bought and paid for stooges

I'm sure he could have saved himself the hassle and got his seafood from Scotland, and champagne from his local booze shop, the sausage/salami could also have been bought in the UK, but tough luck, eh. lol

After all, these could be French nationals re-entering their country, and as already mentioned, tourists paying in to French coffers, they need to step up their game, regardless of Brexit.

If I want to go to France, I'll find a suitable way.

The Guvmin's Remain campaign made no mention of the travel rules that would be consequential on leaving the EU. The 52% would have known that anyway - why do we have passports? We needed them to travel to the EU anyway.

So Calder is right - I just hope he isn't a whingeing Remainer.
