Brexit Is Teaching Britain A Lesson In Humility; Boris Johnson finalizes EU Exit Deal!

[Kunty McPhuck]

Another half truth by Phoney Blair. The first year of the EU opening the doors to the new nations. France and German put a cap on the number of EU nationals. UK didn't. They were expecting less than ten thousand but ended getting over a hundred thousand. They didn't wait and see they. They overplayed their hand thinking the rest well France and Germany would open up their labour markets but didn't. I remember the Builder wars between the English and Irish builders vs the Polish ones back around just before the 2008 crash. British Work for Polish prices. Funny thing is the British builders Painters and Decorators phucked up the game so much with their cowboying and stretching jobs longer than they had to be to basically con people. The Polish came in not completely took over but they were getting more work. 4-8 man crews knocking weeks off jobs. Until their cowboying started showing itself up. Some of the stories I heard. One worker plastered the toilet lid to the the rest of the toilet.

The good thing about Brexit is this phoney kunt never got his dream job of being the President of the EU.

Part of the reason is that Question Time puts Farage on TV over and over and over and over to allow him to spout his lies

‪Travesty-Account Holder 77‬ ‪@rebussy.bsky.social‬

The QT defence is always that they apply a kind of PR calculation involving vote-share/polling for appearances by minor parties.

Farage has gets to game that for the self-reinforcing exposure he needs. Answer? Set a rule on individuals, so no party can keep sending the same person on?

‪Fiery‬ ‪@firehorsep.bsky.social‬

Exactly. That's what Labour are trying to fix. I hope ordinary farmers are starting to catch on they've been wound up by the tax avoiders against their own best interest.

3/17
‪debatingroom.bsky.social‬ ‪@debatingroom.bsky.social‬

Cracking down on the wealthy tax avoiders not only makes more agricultural land available at an affordable price, but a drop in the value of land means that fewer farmers would have to pay inheritance tax.

‪Judi Sutherland‬ ‪@judisutherland.bsky.social‬

What I’m not clear about is, if they are not farming the land, what are they doing with it? Renting it to tenants? Rearing pheasants for the shoot? Rewilding?

‪Christopher‬ ‪@self-defined.bsky.social‬

Farmers clearly weren't bothered about selling to farmers, it was just a business transaction.

Sudden change to 'its all about farming', when they were viewed just like every other business- which they had demonstrated- they were!

Hoist on their own petard?

‪Ian Hardie‬ ‪@ianhardie.bsky.social‬

The media would do well to portray these facts. As much as they wish to play the Tory line, in towns, particularly Northern towns, sentiment is turning hard against farmers, many who play no part in this drama. Collateral damage, but acceptable to Dyson and Co.

‪Paul Astell‬ ‪@paulastell.bsky.social‬

Those farmers in their 80s hanging on to their farms complaining about how much tax their children will face should sack their financial advisors who long ago failed to advise them to pass on their businesses. The 7-year rule would mean a zero tax bill, just like everyone else.

11/17
‪Hattie‬ ‪@hatspin.bsky.social‬

Of course, but these are also the people who if they willingly go to a dr they are probably close to death. The farms they inherited weren’t the businesses they are now.
I doubt they would have done it even if their advisors suggested it.

Majority of Brexit voters ‘would accept free movement’ to access single market

Europe-wide polling finds UK and EU leaders now out of step with public opinion and pursue ‘ambitious reset’

www.theguardian.com

Barely a majority, but still, the headline made me

A majority of Britons who voted to leave the EU would now accept a return to free movement in exchange for access to the single market, according to a cross-Europe study that also found a reciprocal desire in member states for closer links with the UK.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and Donald Trump’s election as US president had “fundamentally changed the context” of EU-UK relations, the report by the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) thinktank said.

Based on polling of more than 9,000 people across the UK and the EU’s five most populous countries – Germany, France, Italy, Spain and Poland – in the weeks after Trump’s election win in November, the ECFR study found the strongest enthusiasm for renewed ties were in Britain.

Perhaps the most striking finding was that 54% of Britons who voted leave, including 59% of voters in “red wall seats”, said in exchange for single market access they would now accept full free movement for EU and UK citizens to travel, live and work across borders.

This could be because the surge in net migration to the UK after 2016 meant that Brexit was no longer seen by its supporters as the answer on immigration, the report suggested.

Yes, charlatan is the right word. And he is still getting way too much time on TV, given what he has done. He just won't go away

He was also a member of the European Parliament, so you'd think working for the EU he would have gathered some understanding of it, but apparently not.

at least britain doesn't have him as prime minister. we have his equivalent as president past (17-21) and future (25-??).
