Brexit has failed. More Brexit news


Seems our Brexit extremists missed this piece in their trawl of the gutters in search of good Brexit news.
As someone who voted to remain, I actually think it’s now best to try and make it work rather than continually harping on.
 

Seems our Brexit extremists missed this piece in their trawl of the gutters in search of good Brexit news.

Speaking of trawling the gutters, it's hilarious seeing remoaners scraping the bottom of barrels and revelling in any kind of news which might detrimentally affect the UK. But Intel has never committed to building a chip factory in the UK so nothing has been lost. The company, which is being devoured by emerging far east producers, is merely fishing around Europe for tax breaks, the kind of tax breaks that Ireland would have been happy to give except that the EC has forced the country to increase its tax rates to maintain a 'level playing field'. So much for sovereignty within the EU.

Why not focus on the recent news that the UK’s huge reserves of lithium, a vital component for the batteries fitted in electric cars, has put it in a massively advantageous position compared with the European Union, where there is a dearth of the element? Only Finland is able to rival the UK for lithium, which is being called "the next gold rush". It is already present in most household electronics and is a major component in electric cars and energy storage units.

Too much good news? Thought so.

Me too. It’s here. It’s the bed we lie in - let’s try to make it as comfy as possible even if it’s not as good as the previous bed we owned
Using the bed analogy- we’ve not finished making the bed yet. 😏

Regarding the o/p typical nonsense, come back in 30 years and still say it hasn’t worked. It was always going to be a long term project. Everyone these days wants an instant return. No patience. I blame the parents. 😉
 
Emigrate to the Republic of Ireland. Still freedom of movement from Britain to there.They need lorry drivers/ factory workers/ hospitality etc as much as here and the rest of Europe.If you can’t handle Brexit why bother staying in Britain?

Is this true? If so what’s happened to Ireland to put them in the same position as us?

It is good news, tno, though it’s hardly recent.

Isn’t Portugal in the European Union?

Five countries, between them, have 95% of the world’s lithium reserves. The U.K. is not one of them. Large reserves yes 👍 big player 👎

And that’s even before you consider the issues surrounding mining for the stuff

As I said at the beginning, good news, I agree
 
All is not well in the EU either: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-58840076

The unprecedented challenge made by Poland's prime minister, Mateusz Morawiecki, to one of the European Union's core legal principles has seriously escalated his government's dispute with Brussels. And it has fuelled concerns that Poland is heading towards the door, described as "Polexit".



Meanwhile in France: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-n...rench-eurosceptic-vote-far-right-provocateur/

Mr Zemmour, a rising favourite for French presidential candidacy, says France must fight back against a 'federalist coup d’état'

By that logic, if people were so unhappy with Britain as it was before Brexit, how come they hadn't already left the country before the vote in 2016? Seems strange they handled it for all those decades before and didn't leave.

To be fair to Trammo, Farage did say if Brexit didn’t work out he’d emigrate.

Seems we did miss this though from the other week.
Excellent news indeed, the news just gets better.
So proud to be British. 🇬🇧

Bump. Hurry up and emigrate Remoaners you unhappy breed. See ya don’t wanna be ya.🇬🇧😜
 
If we’d have put the Talbot road tramline and tram station to a referendum who knows what the result would have been.

But there would have been strong voices both for and against.

Please go with my hypothetical analogy here and say we all voted. The outcome was a marginal win (52-48) so the tramline development went ahead.

Then let’s fast forward a few years and see the pain it’s caused with road closures and local businesses affected.

The diversions in place cause traffic jams and less foot fall to the shops on Talbot Road. Yet the council say they’re short-term problems and ask us to bear with them through this TraMsition period. 😏

The tramline development is still not finished. If you asked the ones who voted against it they’ll now be even more fixed in their original position. They’ll point to the traffic chaos and the roadworks and disruption as if it’s the end of the world and proves they were right to vote against. They’ll complain about how they used to love shopping at Wilkinson’s and how their lives have been ruined as have the lives of their grandkids who would have loved to shop for stationery and cleaning products at Wilkinson’s in the decades to come. They will complain they used to park in that building above Wilkinson’s and now they have to park elsewhere and they have to get a new pass and use their Visa 🧐 (debit card to pay).

And to an extent their grumbles are genuine and understandable. It’s been crap stuck in traffic jams. It’s been a difficult couple of years.

BUT

When it’s finished we’ll have a transformed integrated transport network. It will be finished quite soon. It will be a major achievement in the modernisation of the town centre. It will make Blackpool greener. It will make the lives of shoppers, students, tourists, business folk and commuters more convenient. It will help attract new business into the town.

But the ones who wanted it to remain as it was still say it was ok as it was. Why change? It was a waste of money. We’ve upset stakeholders such as taxi drivers. We’ve turned out backs on them.

When the tram station opens and the digital ticketing system crashes and the tram signal box fails and blocks the line for an hour on a busy Saturday the nay sayers will pounce on this with glee. They’ll love it. They’ll use it to show they were right to vote against the tramline development. But in the end the teething problems will settle. They’ll come to see the benefits of how the town is flourishing as a result. They’ll even begin to use the tram themselves and they’ll pop into the tram station now and again cos they love the little quirky shops in there and the new Wilkinson’s local. 😉 They can buy the grandkids a jotter pad and some pens for the new school term.

The traMsformation will be there for us to reap the rewards for decades and decades. The folk that come after us won’t appreciate or care about the times when we primarily drove into town, and they won’t care we were stuck in traffic jams. They’ll have a more modern improved life as we will have left it better for them as a result of our visionary decision (to vote for the tramline).

Hopefully by now you’ll have drawn parallels with Brexit. It’s daft to keep obsessing about anything and everything you can spin, or rightly point to, as a failure or adverse consequence of Brexit. It’s not really significant. What matters is the longer term. Surely it’s time to move forward with positivity and to embrace the future rather than resist the inevitable. It’s only right to shake the hand of the opponent after you’ve been knocked out rather than show yourself to be a bad sport and claim it was an unfair contest.

Fury is wearing his belt.
The tramline and Station are being readied.
Brexit is irreversible.

Let’s move on together. The future is bright. The future is tangerine.
 
What a truly disgusting individual you are. You talk of gutters yet here you are much lower than that. You're a sewer rat.
Why is it disgusting to be concerned that the only good news being cited about British businesses seems to be about making military equipment.
Or is it just your own desperate hate filled obsession driving a cart and horse through common decency once again
 
more biased moderation. The o/p is allowed to accuse other posters of trawling the gutters yet refuses to take action. A poster who has used the hate messages of the extremist Antifa to peddle his agenda. Just who is the extremist here?
Funnily enough, 20’s, I just had a go at the mods for letting you and your playground bully friends make personal attacks on another poster and doing nothing about it. Seems like I won the argument this time tho’ my request to ban idiots like you for a week or so has seemingly fallen on deaf ears, presumably because conflict is good for business

Just remember, 20’s that this is not the kingdom of the blind, so stop scriking and try to be more polite in future when you’re arguing a point

But pls don’t use me as your role model, use Cat, you know it makes sense 👍🥂
 
funnily enough I think it's Cat with his messages of hate and his whole posting style of trying to force his opinions on us that is the bully. Sadly it's the likes of lefties like you who regularly go crying to the mods. You and others like to give it out but can't take it.
there used to be a bloke on here who would whinge to the mods at every opportunity about some bastard who had a civil rights symbol as his avatar

I wonder what happened to him

I’m fascinated that you think Cat is the bully here. Do you feel bullied by him? Does anyone on here feel bullied by him, do you think?

Here's some recommended reading material
 
Now the container ships aren't able to dock at Felixstowe as there's no lorry drivers to drive the containers away.

Johnson, Farage, where art thou? You've well and truly buggered this country up.

The frightening thing to me is I don't think we have the people to make it work and we have too many who would like to see it fail and possibly put stumbling blocks in the way.

A truck driver on BBC this morning was celebrating his £12k pay rise resulting from the driver shortage. See how jobs are being revalued to reflect their worth to society? The end of cheap foreign labour as a result of Brexit, payment of proper wages and new opportunities for UK school leavers are brexit benefits you don't seem to have mentioned.
 
Personally, I think Bozo is so thick, greedy, selfish and ambitious that, without a second thought, he broke the Prime Directive...
“If it ain’t broken, don’t try to fix it”.
 
The container issues seen at Felixstowe are are being mirrored across the globe. The pandemic has caused an imbalance and the container owners have empty containers sat idle in the wrong place at the wrong time. These containers are using up storage capacity and causing obstructions.

The HGV driver shortage isn’t helping. But again that’s an issue for China, USA and parts of Europe.

But don’t worry too much cos there’s still plentiful supply of quality street and celebrations. 🧐

I'm sure Nestle issued a press release about a shortage of Quality Street at Christmas a couple of days ago! I'm just not sure it wasn't a cynical marketing move though!
