Nerves in Sunderland as Brexit day approaches

No point in having nerves now; the die is cast; you made your decision in the referendum and backed it up in two general elections.

You’ve had three chances and you’ve chosen to get Brexit done each time. You’ve chosen to ignore the warnings of what will happen to your jobs and livelihoods.

So chin up; stand and take it like a man; this is what maximising sovereignty sometimes involves; economic damage; don’t say you weren’t warned.

I literally heard a northern Brexiter and a new Tory voter say that for generations his family had voted Labour and now he was voting Tory "because he wanted things to change". The radio interviewer kindly did not point out that we've had a Tory government for a decade!


HA HA HA

Do you seriously believe the average brexiteer gives a toss about Andrew?

Prince Andrew provided ‘zero co-operation’ in Epstein probe, US says


I wonder why?


Monarchy is just as out dated as the goons who support it.

Let us now see the break up of the UK and the collapse of the monarchy. A great Brexit present for the gammon Brexiters.

It will simply push us in the direction of America and Asia. No bad thing since their economies are growing whereas stagnation seems to be the EU way these days.

Corona

Just seen a little clip on FB by a lad from Bolton stuck in Wuhan which is currently on lockdown,evidently they're not even allowed to the supermarket for provisions. My daughter did a year over there recently and had to use the health service a couple of times due to food poisoning which cost in the region of £250/ visit for examination and antibiotics. I cant remember why she didn't/ couldn't get medical insurance but do recall having to forward funds prior to treatment. The cost of medical attention will put it beyond the reach of most as average salaries in the most affluent regions is only about 16k.

It is now becoming abundantly clear that the EU wishes for an early failure in talks almost as much as some in the UK do:"Brussels is demanding that European Union judges have the power to rule on any post-Brexit agreement with the United Kingdom.An internal Brussels diplomatic document, seen by The Times, reveals that the EU will insist that the European Court of Justice be able to enforce the terms of a trade, fishing and security deal.The move, which comes days before Britain leaves the European Union at 11pm on Friday, has been condemned by Brexiteers, who called on Boris Johnson to "walk away" from the talks rather than accede to the demands.Downing Street sources also rejected the proposal, saying that the European court was "by very definition not a neutral arbiter"." - The Times

fishing rights vs financial services.

Last time we traded the tiny fishing industry in exchange for the huge financial services industry.
Now the talk is of hanging on to the fish and sacrificing the cash.

Already Brexit uncertainty has caused us to lose the status of being the Worlds most important financial centre, a position held for centuries.

We shall all be using food banks at this rate..so don't throw away surplus food after your Brexit party, you may need it.

A great punchline to that article:

Indeed, in the spirit of promoting Brexit harmony, I entreat any despairing Remoaners to hand all of their unwanted Brexit 50 pence pieces over to me.

In return, I will give them 20 pence back and tell them what they are allowed to spend it on. That way they can happily go on pretending that they are still living in the EU and Brexit has never happened.
