  • Well e-CAFC enjoy Athens while you can. In 18 months you will be spending several days queuing at Customs having paid 25% more for your holiday as the government has yet to recruit and train airport security staff despite media reports they are already under-resourced. Ditto Ebsfleet, Harwich, Dover etc haven't planned for the extra time for customs tarrif paperwork. M20 car park. Who is going to pay for the agricultural subsidies our landed gentry currently receive? EU currently vet imports from outside. Are we now hiring and training our own or will we just let any goods in until people die from shoddy products. What is the true cost of No Deal? Trade deal with USA looks unlikely given Boeing issue. As long as Amazon, Apple, e-Bay etc can pay peanuts in C Tax it will be a one way street as Trump has promised to protect US industry. EU are trying to pursue tax evasion but UK was absent from countries wanting Swiss transparency on bank accounts.

    @seth plum will still, in my opinion be the worst of them all
  • What - in France, Italy or Portugal? Doubt it, but it might happen. :wink: I expect Boris to be telling you that any minute now...
    There were 2 hour queues at Barcelona airport this Summer.
    So no change there.

  • Ok then - my usual question.
    Shall we cancel Brexit so that we don't have to queue so long at (e.g.) Poitiers airport ?
    (I have used it many times - there is one guy for passports in one booth).
  • Well this is awkward - the US is opposing an EU-UK deal on agricultural import quotas post-Brexit.

    One of many, many, many reasons for cancelling Brexit, yes.

    And what shall we tell the majority that voted for it ?
  • What shall we tell the 2 thirds who didn't vote for it?

  • And what shall we tell the majority that voted for it on the basis that we would remain in the single market, customs union, and the NHS would get £350m a week?

    About half of them to get of their backsides next time & vote :wink:

    Who said we were staying "in" anything if we voted "leave".
    As for the £350m - who knows what the exact figure is ?
  • £350m is tax breaks for Not Hoipoloi Suckers.

  • This is my best ever thread!

    It’s turning into the “Bridge over Troubled Waters” for time spent in the charts and it was only meant to be a joke.

    And there’s another by the Bee Gees

    “ I started a joke that started the whole world laughing but I couldn’t see that the joke was on me”

    or something like that.

    Perhaps he is right after all ?

    We are a net contributor to the EU, so there is no doubt that the figure is bigger than zero, but like all things Brexit, who knows exactly what.

    Sure... I never ever mentioned the 350million...i am more concerned with the 900 billion euros that gets defrauded every year and the tax fiddles that are done and the eu does naff all about it.... Now that could build a few hospitals... One for each of us... Keep reading tabloid junk.
  • Well they have had a go at Amazon this week :)

    We know it is not €350million.
  • “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

    I wonder who it was who said that?
  • Keep digging...

    Poor effort.
