Margaret Thatcher will be spinning in her lead lined garlic festooned coffin. Quote In the 1980s, when the economy of the EEC began to lag behind the rest of the developed world, Margaret Thatcher sent Arthur Cockfield, Baron Cockfield, to the Delors Commission to take the initiative to attempt to relaunch the common market. Cockfield wrote and published a White Paper in 1985 identifying 300 measures to be addressed in order to complete a single market.[11][12][13] The White Paper was well received and led to the adoption of the Single European Act, a treaty which reformed the decision-making mechanisms of the EEC and set a deadline of 31 December 1992 for the completion of a single market. In the end, it was launched on 1 January 1993. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Single_Market 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second to this would be highlighting the attempt to bury/cover-up the Russia report and then the the other car-crash that should be constantly highlighted is the Govt handling of Covid-19 (which remains third in my view solely because there is more capacity for f**k-up there and more unnecessary deaths). And that is without mentioning the direct award contracts to Government and Cummings cronies! This Government is clearly inept, corrupt snd self-serving. What grinds my gears is the fact they are largely accepted by most of the country and sections of the media to be efficient and competent when everyone can clearly see the shit-show connected to pretty much everything they touch. and just as I type this Priti Patel pops up to announce more details re their new draconian immigration system that appears to f**k over care workers during a pandemic. And this was a Minister who sought to evade the Home Affairs select committee, questioned the motives behind BLM demonstrations, and was facing (as I understood) an "independent" investigation into bullying behaviour. F**k me. Edited July 13, 2020 by KingRocketman II reduced my f*ck count 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

English folk want rid of immigrants and that's that. The tories will do it as they've cleverly(?) repositioned themselves as an English nationalist party, ground on which Labour can never compete. What’s pathetic of Labour is that, rather than call the Tories out on it, they’ve repeatedly tried to compete with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tories will do it as they've cleverly(?) repositioned themselves as an English nationalist party, ground on which Labour can never compete. but they have proven themselves shite at that also. Under Cameron, where am sure many of this current bunch were serving in some capacity or other, he made a commitment to reducing net immigration - can't remember what the target was but after boasting of making a number of legislative statements the number increased. I think the attempt was to sway the brexiteers who had and continue to conflate EU FMOP/FMOL with UK wider immigration policy with the rest of the world. So the Tories made a relatively recent shit-show of "immigration control" also. As for Labour as not being able to compete as a nationalist party, well some of their MPs and previous leaders do pretty well at that with strong messages in support of their Brexit supporting communities and strong on immigration control mugs (that another poster regularly posts) - that is from a time they were clearly courting a certain demographic. Also their continued "Union at all costs/no to a referendum" stance can only be informed by British nationalism otherwise a more flexible look at the current arrangements would be considered as a party position option. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 I noticed that America recently became the most expensive place in the world to send parcels to via Royal Mail, overtaking Oz and some of the Asian countries by quite some distance. Is this anything to do with this Brexit nonsense? Can't really think of any particular reason for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zidane's child Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Even if Brexit is an utter shambles (which it most likely will be), Leave voters will never admit they got it wrong. As long as they get their Blue Passport cover or Brexit 50p piece they’ll be happy and deem it all worth while. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
