Oh my mistake, I must have blinked and missed them. I've gone back and checked and still can't see them. Did anyone else notice his answers?

Yet OB it is you, far more than anyone else in this thread, who harps back to the referendum more than anyone else.

We’ve invited you to name a single regulation that could be changed and to quantify what that means for the economy, living standards, jobs and you have not.

Indeed, it’s quite a paradox that these open goals exist yet our Conservative government with a commanding majority haven’t simply tapped the ball into the net. Despite this, your enemy is the lay voter who disagrees with you and is inconsequential to whether change occurs.

We have at least uncovered some background to your hatred for the British worker.

I know what I noticed and that's the fact that this thread is going nowhere with constant digs and sniping. :td:

Re: Britain outside the EU
 

It is becoming a little tiresome. :sleep:

The sniping can stop now, or a few people are going to take a rest from this topic.

Re: Britain outside the EU
 

I think that one issue with EU rules is how countries interpret and implement them. Our system tends to take the rules as "law" and forces obedience. Other countries take them as guidelines to be generally followed with a good pinch of common sense unless it applies to "foreigners" when for some reason whole layers of bureaucracy is involved.


I also think that it's the same here with our own laws. If the civil servants who get to implement things don't like it they can make it very hard to work.


Finally lots of rules are here because of people that break the rules. It should be easy to, for example, say that if you are unemployed after 2 weeks you can claim benefit that would include fuel bills being covered, food etc. But you have to then prevent people just claiming because they don't want to work, ensure that payments go to the right person and lots of other rules and regulations with exceptions and exceptions to the exceptions and so on. GDPR shouldn't really be needed, good companies should be doing that sort of thing anyway. You need a framework to tell them that maybe so they can ensure they design systems well and maybe outline punishments for abuse but not all the weight and work GDPR requires from everyone collecting data.

It’s called “gold plating” and our civil service is exceptionally good at it. Those of them who rue the day we voted to leave the EU might find it useful to ponder the extent to which the culture they work in, and perpetuate, helped bring it about.

Not surprised to see the Minister for Brexit Opportunities position abolished. You can only keep an oxymoron of a job going for so long. ;)

Indeed, I can’t think of a single thing he delivered whilst in post that warrants such a significant promotion

Cronyism over competence who would have thought it ?

Oh wait, he put some bits of paper on some desks

The funniest part of the article he wrote in the Sun about this was a picture that was supposed to show an empty Serious Fraud Squad office was in fact a picture of the Cabinet Office (where he worked…).

That was my major gripe with the Johnson regime - just blatantly not worrying about the truth.
