@graveperil2169 Bollox. Britistan had a veto on what if any EU regulations it wanted to adopt. Britistan wanted out because they couldn't dictate or back seat drive their way into being the Overlord of EU Democracy.

@NLJeffEU Britain put up red tape to trade with the EU by Brexiting. Before Brexit they were in the EU n therefore there was no red tape. Britain made the choice, not the EU.

@PhatPhinx 30 years for Britistan to get back on a Par with the EU standard of living ? More like 50, unless theres a drastic political & diplomatic turn by the Brits. Market Economics dictate that "Catch Up" is the name of your game until such time you finish incrementally renegotiating Brexit until it is in effect a Brexit in name only, which in reality was the only rational outcome possible from Brexit. 10-20 years of economic slide n decline, 30 years of incremental growth to regain parity. Other than that, its going to take a global catastrophe of proportions never imagined that somehow leave London least affected.

@kurtgodel5236 Britistan is an advanced nation with a highly educated population, If they vote on the toss of a coin its because they choose to, not because they have to. Equally if they choose to ignore the facts before they vote on something, its not because they have to, its because they choose to. If in hindsight they regret their decisions, thats the price of Freedom & hateful ignorance.

A British company, or any EU company importing non EU produced goods to their "EU Hub" are still subject to customs red tape unless the exporting country has a trade agreement in place with the EU, which Britistan does not have. A British company that owns/leases a garden shed or storage unit in Latvia will still be subject to EU Bureaucracy unless that company is registered & pays taxes in the EU. Ipso Facto, the "EU Hub" is in fact an EU company that has no official connection to Britistan. "EU Hub" is just a fancy, politically correct way of saying they have decided to lower production in Britistan & invest their resources in the EU instead. Well Done Brexiteers. Thanks for stimulating the EU economy at Britistans expense 👍

@reardelt No, you are basic. If a country is a part of an international organisation it is part of a political union, as a part of being a member it has to abide by common rules set by a De facto common parliament. You are word mincing now.

@graveperil2169 The feelings of an educated adult population who are aware of the political & economic facts.

A fair point & well made. 👍

@afcgeo882 Sounds like Yankee Doodle Word Salad to me 😈

@joet4811 They were never alone. They were holding hands with the French when the Germans sent them for a swim at Dunkirk, then they cozied up to their burly Yank Protectors n have been following them around like a lost Royal Corgi ever since. 😈

@kurtgodel5236 No, your point was that somehow Britistan is not responsible for their decisions.

I can imagine this guy going outside to angrily shake his fist at the clouds when it rains. 😏

@leeoreilly6797 If I didnt know better Id think that you are trying to claim that in a trade war instigated by the smaller market, that same smaller market cannot win against the MEGA market it has targeted.

@LZE. So the political entity known as the UK left the political entity known as the European Union because it does not like political processes & prefers to have a less favourable political trade deal than it had before. Whoop De Doo ! Enjoy your 10-20 year political & economic slide. 😈

@stevengruber57 What foreign Parliament are you fantasising about that writes laws for the EU ? And no, the EU isnt the only political union of legal jurisdictions that permits the free movement of people, the Irish, Scottish & English/Welsh jurisdictions of the United Kingdon & the 50 or so individual states of the USA also permit it. 😏

@afcgeo882 Hows about referendums that arent decided by a 1% swing ? Like for example, hows about a Scottish Independence or a Brexit referendum that requires a 66% majority to pass & only then if 66% of the electorate turn out. It doesn't have to be a brutal caveman's form of democracy, especially on matters so important.

@LZE. It wasn't a question, Genius. 😈

@LZE. What rhetorical question are you on about now, Sappy ? Firstly you chop up a sentence n quote half of it outa context to me & now you are claiming a rhetorical question has been asked ? Put the crack pipe down n sort yer head out you demented GOON ! 😏

@LZE. ... says a demented lunatic that nobody asked for help. 😏

@Wilhelm Eley Its a good job the EU had the foresight to react to the 2009 debt crisis by creating the European Stability Mechanism eh ? 😏

What yer saying is that Brexit will eventually lead to a Brexit in name only. In other words you are going to go all around the houses, take the long way home & in the end you will be right back where you were, aligned with the EU legally & politically & on a par with the EU standard of living. Enjoy the next 50 yrs of "Achievement" 😈

Democracy is a good idea, abusing it & attacking it is a bad idea, which Brexit among others prove.

5 more decades more like. They will be on the slide for at least another 10-15 years without a drastic diplomatic political turn around or without a global disaster that somehow leaves then least affected.

More expenses in doing business = more tax deductible write offs. Big companies have the staff already in place to cope with the extra paper work & red tape, therefore less man hours are needed & productivity ticks along as usual with minimal adjustments needed. Small businesses cant compete so they sell up if they are lucky, or go bust. Brexit is an attack by the wealthy on the poor.

If only the EU were smart enough to create something like a European Stability Mechanism or something clever like that ! Damn you crafty Britistanis ! 😏

In other words Britistan has created so many knuckle dragging goons that they voted for something that proves they are incapable of & therefore dont deserve a vote in any democratic process.

@curiousworld7912 Their leadership was in place for 8 years by the time the vote happened & they were campaigning on the strength of a Brexit referendum before that for at least 2 years. 10 years on one single subject is more than enough time for even a gormless Brit to educate themselves of something before voting on it. As I said, what Brexit has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt is that under its current political structure the London based regime produces knuckle dragging goons who clearly dont deserve a vote within any civilised, meaningful democratic process. They wanted out & now they're out. The EU & the world at large now sees them for what they are & have adjusted accordingly. Its a Clintonesque Win, Win situation. Enjoy. 😈
