I saw a video on YouTube about it and basically it's a lot. There's lots of charges every time you move jobs. You have to keep paying to get access to health care.

Yeah, one of my friend's wife is American and since she's freelancing or something it seems he pays some or all her migration expenses and she told me it isn't exactly cheap, either that or she's not got much disposable income, obviously she or family would have to pay until she got a job.

Just think, if the mental bastards got their way and we were out of the EU on WTO right now, we'd be strawberry floating shafted at the moment.

Brexiteer MPs literally didn't know what they were voting for. Amazing. :fp:

The holistic schism of Brexit had by that point long been drastically removed from its actual implications and anything else based on logistical reality. Those details simply weren't important.

I'm more surprised at the bottom, he really doesn't like Cummings does he.

It's Priti Patel's department so nothing surprises me. She's a vindictive, sneering banana split of a human being who doesn't even bother attempting to hide her contempt for ordinary people.

Everything she does there is intended to make life as miserable as possible. She's literally evil.

I expect the Tories to respond with "the people of the UK voted to get Brexit done blah blah blah".

Why are Leavers still pretending to have voted Remain? This was a post I saw this evening.

If Barnier won't be realistic, we leave under WTO rules, take back control of our borders, sovereignty waters, laws, regulations, etc. Trade with whoever the hell we want to and if the EU wants a trade deal, we will let them have one on our terms otherwise they can **** off. I'ts just a bankrupt club that are still spending non-existent money like water and by the look of it won't exist for much longer anyway.

I have no beef with Europe, European countries or Europeans in general, just the undemocratic, unaccountable and wasteful EU.

I voted to remain BTW but realise now that due to the way that the likes of Michel Barnier, John Claude Drunkard, etc. have behaved that I was wrong.

We have left and I don't believe that an extension to the transition arrangement is of benefit to anyone except the Germans and French.


After questioning if she had actually voted Remain, she came back with:

I voted remain because although I detest the unelected bureaucratic and wasteful EU, I felt that it would be very difficult to disentangle ourselves from them and that they would seek to punish us by not offering us a fair deal to discourage others from leaving too. However I accepted the will of the majority unlike some of our politicians and the EU.

I think that having left, we can do better than sign up to a bad deal which results in us still being bound by their regulation and paying them loads of money. If we wanted that, we would not have voted to leave.


And then:

We fought two world wars so as not to be governed by Germany. We have voted to leave because we don't want to be governed by Germany.

Leave means leave. We left on 31st January. If a trade deal means that we dont retain control of our borders and have to abide by their regulations, then we have to go WTO.

Personally, I would prefer a fair trade deal that allows us to keep the independence we have fought and voted for whatever the remoaners think.


Followed by:

Because what we want is reasonable. We want to trade with the EU, not to be governed by it. They don't want us to be successful post BREXIT as that would encourage the leave movements within many of their other member states.

But anti EU sentiment is growing around Europe and we won't be the last country to leave. We joined a common market and have ended up with a dictatorship. Millions of other Europeans feel the same and that number is growing fast.

Thank heavens that we had the sense not to join their failing currency.


And then after a few more people questioned her, she hit back with the all time classic:

Wow, what a bunch of remoaners we have on here.

We had a vote. Remoan lost. Live with it. That's democracy.


Leaves are so strawberry floating stupid. :lol:

A number of them pretend they voted remain as they think it will undermine the remain cause. All it does though is further show them up for their ridiculous views.

Anyone watched the Brexit Channel 4 film with Cumberbatch in? Focuses on Cummings & both campaigns - I know it’s probably tiny truth in it but just the presentation of attacking demographics & the social media advertising is very compelling as why remain didn’t win. It’s infuriating watching it dramatised actually with the NHS figure.

Either way you voted it, I’d recommend it

Yeah I'm sure they'll be rushing back to a country whose death rate is greater than the entire EU and which has spent 4 years telling them to strawberry float off.

He's belatedly realised what has been known for a long time- Eastern European workers are the people doing jobs the British refuse to do. Picking vegetables is a massive one without which will lead to food shortages as vegetables die in the fields.

Hopefully they all tell him to get strawberry floated and as we mourn our dead vegetables we can think about what we chose as a nation.

Or more likely we will start a clap for cauliflowers event.
