Renton 17633 Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 More Brexit bonuses. Not only will Brexit fuck your holiday, now you won't be able to claim compensation for it. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/apr/19/britons-delayed-at-dover-to-miss-out-on-compensation-if-eu-law-scrapped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 30257 Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 (edited) It’s funny the perception of ‘sovereignty’. And how people equate it with freedom. Take it to the extreme of the hard Brexit that’s been (partially)* delivered and it’s just an imposition of crippling restrictions of an entire nation *in the sense it still hasn’t been properly worked through Edited April 20, 2023 by Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 4949 Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Said without energy or passion but just because some part of me still feels compelled to state it - the leave campaign are traitors to the country, those that voted for it enfeebled our nation. A curse born of people who have no fucking clue how the world works or what their place in it is. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's some fucked up aspiration to have. Just been on a call with European colleagues. They are literally laughing at us (not in a malevolent way, just in a "dude, what the fuck did you just do" way). The situation is beginning to impact directly on my job, and not for the good. You can repaeat this times milliions for those of us who have the types of jobs that bring in money to the country (services sold to Europe in my case). Doesn't directly affect th Whetherspoons pensioner, although of course it massively affects them indirectly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just a lack of internal freedom but a total reliance on other nations for even the most basic of necessities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a chance he didn’t want to. It was more about cultivating his ‘man of the people’ persona for a future leadership bid. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess he thought it to be a win-win situation because he could always fall back on his past admiration of the European institutions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure Johnson wasn't too stupid to misunderstand that mind. I think that it was always a thing of delusion of grandeur, thinking that those European philistines would always think of the Brits and their market too important and accustom their own position.
