Brexit Benefits Log

[drfchound]

BST, didn’t you read that I said I wasn’t interested in telling them.
 

[BillyStubbsTears]

Apologies. I wasn't clear. I meant, didn't you tell them at the time. You were referring to a post by Wilts talking about the present.

[SydneyRover]

When the question of Brexit first arose the majority of people that I knew who were going to vote to leave said that they wanted us to have control of our borders.
I suppose they meant stopping refugees and illegal immigrants coming in.
Has that really happened I wonder.

Can someone can explain how leaving the EU affects what an illegal immigrant would attempt to do in any way that  staying in the EU prevented us from stopping them? How would having/removing borders make any difference to someone who ignores them anyway?

I have no idea GW.
Perhaps you should be asking some of the people I know, after all they were the ones saying it, not me.

Hound you are asking if anything has been done about what you aren't even sure was the question then refer GW back to the people that he doesn't know, good effort.

Doesn’t take much.

I've found a real Brexit benefit. There will now be less Irish lorries on our roads over here, and greater capacity on ferries out of Dover....
 

 
Raab seem confused as to what it means though.  But then, he didn't know that our main trading route with the EU was via Dover!

[Glyn_Wigley]

I wouldn't trust anyone who came up with that map!

Drat, just when I thought I'd found a real benefit someone has to come along and spoil it!

He didn’t say that he didn’t know our main trading route with the EU was via Dover.
He did say that he didn’t realise just how much went through Dover.
Difference.

Hound. Stop letting the truth get in the way of a genuine Brexit benefit Log.

[drfchound]

Maybe I shouldn’t have said anything so they could all chortle about what Raab didn’t say.

Maybe it's time to just ignore the thread and let those who want to continue the bullshit just bullshit each other.

[Ldr]

This thread if basically one man who's wife has left him for another man wanting everyone to tell him how wonderful he is and how she is a bitch for leaving

I'm guessing you support what Liz Truss is doing then?

Just ignore the problems and they'll go away!

If only.  We celebrate our Golden Wedding Anniversary this year as it happens.
 
Meanwhile, keep believing the lies - maybe one day they'll come true!  Oh, got any 'real' benefits?

It depends whether you think Wales leaving the UK is a benefit!

I'd guessed it wasn't, hence the 'If only'.  And thanks.    We'd planned to celebrate by going back to Italy where we spent our Silver Wedding Anniversary but sadly Coronavirus has put paid to that. Maybe next year.

Nothing conclusive there wilts that says my statement is wrong.

[Not Now Kato]

   Well, until next year anyway.

  It might be back to a barrow full of Lira to the pound if you leave it a couple of years Kato.

It doesn't seem that long ago that I went to Rome as a millionaire - just over 1 million Lira in travellers checks plus change and a few notes in my pocket!  I've also sat on top of seven million pounds sterling, but that's another story.

more pm's to your gang Simon?

Here is a genuine benefit.

There is finally some truth emerging on the question of whether business was ever seriously hindered by EU regulations.

This from the FT.
https://mobile.twitter.com/DuncanWeldon/status/1362324940184240129

Government "badgering" business to come up with some regulations that they want ditching.

If we start to get some clarity and honesty about our relationship with the EU, that'll be a big plus.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Also, it's good to see that Duncan Smith is working hard trying to write up a list of EU regulations we can ditch.

Only, given that he's been so passionate for so long in his argument that EU regulations hold us back, you'd think he'd have had this list sorted out well in advance, no?

Still, if he's busy at it now, maybe he'll not have time for spouting his lockdown-sceptic batshittery that contributed to 25,000 deaths over the past 2 months, so that's another plus.
