Re: Britain outside the EU

In the middle of the biggest cost-of-living crisis in most people's lifetime, is this purely political decision really wise when businesses in Northern Ireland are not requesting it?

EXC: Liz Truss will move to scrap most of the NI protocol in law next week

While not included in Queen's Speech, legislation unilaterally removing need for Irish Sea checks is written and ready

Ministers have been warned move will spark EU trade war.

Re: Britain outside the EU


blah blah . .

Nowhere did I mention "the crash in EU exports since the beginning of 2020."

Just more people putting their own words somewhere because mine didn't fit their argument.

Thankyou

Pretty sure that "since 2018" includes "since the beginning of 2020.", as "since 2018" includes 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022 so far…

Or don’t "financial figures" include EU exports?

Covid had a financial impact in many ways, but certain "young looking" finger on the pulse reporters don't even mention it, instead it must be a Brexit* thing.


*see, nobody mentioned it but I brought it up

Re: Britain outside the EU

If Covid only impacted the UK, then this graph might be less concerning.

Re: Britain outside the EU

I find that a bit odd. I would have thought that now, once out, there will be quite a few people who voted Remain who don't want to go through the hassle of rejoining.

Think I'm still be a remainer, as in remain outside, what was the point of leaving and enduring the cost and turmoil just to rejoin within no time, just don't expect me to stop moaning about the things that were said to get us out though!

Although I voted to Remain, I wouldn't vote to re-join tomorrow due to the upheaval as it would be too divisive for the country. I would be keener on a closer relationship though to help our exporters.

I would prefer our exporters to find additional or alternative markets.

The foolishly signed NI Protocol proves the hold that the EU thinks it has over the UK and we should not be bound further to them.

I suspect the current row is partly due to Truss cuddling up to the Brexiter wing of the Party for when Johnson finally resigns.
