"Thread got too long so here is part 2... As per posts in the other thread, Brexit is done so there are no more Brexiters/Leavers or Remainers. What we have now are three groups... Brejoiners Bregretters Breleavers (see what I did there) On the point in the other thread about Britain being controlled by foreign governments. Sorry but that is utter crap and shows a complete lack of understanding of how being a member of the EU worked. The UK not only had complete and full involvement over every single rule, regulation, legislation and law in the EU, but the number they voted against is so small you cannot even find a % figure for it. However, we do know that the UK voted in favour of 98% of them and abstained on c.2% (ie it didn’t impact or concern us). Not seeing much foreign control there! In actual fact you could just as easily switch that control argument around and say that the UK’s privileged position (outside Schengen, not in Euro, with a veto) meant we were able to have influence and control over the other 26 member countries! This whole “it’s happened now so just accept it and move on” is analogous to domestic abusers “I know I have hurt you, perhaps permanently damaged you, but that is in the past now, it happened, so time to move on!” That thread (and no doubt this one) also once again shows the juvenile and reductive binary tribalism that has arisen since the Brexit debate kicked in. The footballisation of politics. So using (stretching) the football analogy. Your team, call them the Blues, have been in the Premier League for years and pretty much always come second. Some of the board of directors are convinced the Blues can do better, manage to persuade the fans and have been greedily eyeing up a new manager. They get the new manager who then completely changes the team line up, playing style and format. It all goes terribly wrong and the Blues slip down the Premier League and are now facing relegation. Some of the fans aren’t happy but the others, the ones who had demanded this new manager just tell them to accept it, it’s done, we are where we are. Do you think the fans will just shut up and accept it?" It's more like the blues left the premier League to play in the schoolboy's cup and lost out on the money that's goes with the PL but they will probably win a meaningless trophy every year | |||

"Some remainers are still shell shocked that they live in a nation they only half agree with." Are you really saying that half of the nation think that Brexit is great, despite reality? Bit patronising. Although the recent yougov survey suggested that upto 35% of people are still clinging tight to the brexit unicorn. | |||

Either over half, like you said, 35% like yougov, etc. Doesn't change the reality of brexit. | |||

"Some remainers are still shell shocked that they live in a nation they only half agree with. Are you really saying that half of the nation think that Brexit is great, despite reality? Bit patronising. Although the recent yougov survey suggested that upto 35% of people are still clinging tight to the brexit unicorn. That figure could be 0.0000001 %. The UK is not re joining th eu anytime soon. I agree. What's this got to do with your point about half the people still being confused about brexit? It was s democratic referendum it is not about winning its about democracy. The leave campaigns were both illegally funded, undermining democracy. I'm glad you appear to be one of the leavers who isn't obsessed with "we won, you lost" bullshit. Because we all know, that all of us lost (unless you're a billionaire, which is an assumption I am making). Evening Nobby, I see you're at it again. All of us lost unless you're a billionaire? Utter rubbish. Accept the reality aystop whining about it I have accepted reality thanks. My name isn't Nobby. And I never would want people to shut up and comply. Everyone should express dissent. And yes, we all lost out, unless you own an investment business that moved out of the UK, and shorted the pound. Or hide millions offshore in tax avoidance schemes. I own none of those things, neither am I well off and yet I'm no worse off. Deal with it!!!!!!!! It's crazy what happened to people's self reliance. The Tories sold it off years ago. well then why have they been in power since 2010? The Tories have the support of the media, they are much better funded than all the other parties combined. Their PR machine is powerful." It's kinda bullshit. When fox here is the number 1 media news source. Yet the other party won. You saying we smarter on disseminating information? | |||

"Some remainers are still shell shocked that they live in a nation they only half agree with. Less than half! " Finally you said something that makes sense! It's about 35%. Which is ridiculous when you think about it. But they we go. | |||

"Some remainers are still shell shocked that they live in a nation they only half agree with. Are you really saying that half of the nation think that Brexit is great, despite reality? Bit patronising. Although the recent yougov survey suggested that upto 35% of people are still clinging tight to the brexit unicorn. That figure could be 0.0000001 %. The UK is not re joining th eu anytime soon. I agree. What's this got to do with your point about half the people still being confused about brexit? It was s democratic referendum it is not about winning its about democracy. The leave campaigns were both illegally funded, undermining democracy. I'm glad you appear to be one of the leavers who isn't obsessed with "we won, you lost" bullshit. Because we all know, that all of us lost (unless you're a billionaire, which is an assumption I am making). Obsessed?" Of course they are obsessed! Another day another anti brexit post by one of the usual five or six who rant shout and scream the same comments as they did in the last thread and the one before and the one before that. | |||

Sure there is some banter when people use ridiculous arguments like 'Brexit reality isn't real, you lost, it's the fault of remoaners' etc. But that's not putting anyone down, just joining in with their ridiculousness. But those people aren't adding anything to the discussion. When someone attempts a rational/sane defence of brexit, their points are discussed and debunked politely. | |||

But, your asking people to stop using that argument, maybe have a look in the mirror at the same time. What are you going to change by pointing out Brexit negatives all the time? I'm not expecting anyone to stop anything. I'm merely pointing out that a number of people constantly complain about others discussing brexit. And never add anything in the way of engagement in the conversation. Nothing on these forums archives anything. No one who thinks brexit was a good idea is going to change their mind no matter how much they learn about the real life impact of brexit. It's all just a load of nonsense down here. In conclusion, if those people voted to make the country poorer, to damage British businesses and to remove our freedom of movement within the EU. Surely they can handle some meaningless brexit banter on a swingers forum. Are you sure no one will change their minds? You like to point out that only 35% of people still think Brexit is a good idea. That means 17% of people changed their minds already BTW, is it banter or is it bullying?" Hang on, I was agreeing with you on the pointlessness of it all. There could be any number of reasons for that change in %, the yougov survey represents the entire population, not just the people old enough and engaged enough to vote in 2016. Maybe the demographics have changed since 2016. But I guess what I meant is, if someone now is still hanging on to the brexit dream, no information will change their mind. It's banter if the points are made fun of, it's bullying if the person is attacked. People who think brexit is a good idea rarely address the points, and consistently attack the poster. | |||

"Some remainers are still shell shocked that they live in a nation they only half agree with. Are you really saying that half of the nation think that Brexit is great, despite reality? Bit patronising. Although the recent yougov survey suggested that upto 35% of people are still clinging tight to the brexit unicorn. That figure could be 0.0000001 %. The UK is not re joining th eu anytime soon. I agree. What's this got to do with your point about half the people still being confused about brexit? It was s democratic referendum it is not about winning its about democracy. The leave campaigns were both illegally funded, undermining democracy. I'm glad you appear to be one of the leavers who isn't obsessed with "we won, you lost" bullshit. Because we all know, that all of us lost (unless you're a billionaire, which is an assumption I am making). Obsessed? Of course they are obsessed! Another day another anti brexit post by one of the usual five or six who rant shout and scream the same comments as they did in the last thread and the one before and the one before that. Most brexit threads are full of posts from you complaining that people are discussing brexit. The thing is you do not discuss. Rather it's more put down anyone who disagree with your opinion. That applies to all the usually 5 or 6." That’s not true. I voted remain, accepted the result, don’t think we should re join the EU and honestly want to find a way to make Brexit work better than it does right now . I don’t blame all leave voters for the situation we are in but I can’t understand people who can’t accept that Brexit has been a disaster and those who blame ‘lefties, civil service , remoaners etc etc ‘ | |||

You like to point out that only 35% of people still think Brexit is a good idea. That means 17% of people changed their minds already BTW, is it banter or is it bullying? Hang on, I was agreeing with you on the pointlessness of it all. There could be any number of reasons for that change in %, the yougov survey represents the entire population, not just the people old enough and engaged enough to vote in 2016. Maybe the demographics have changed since 2016. But I guess what I meant is, if someone now is still hanging on to the brexit dream, no information will change their mind. It's banter if the points are made fun of, it's bullying if the person is attacked. People who think brexit is a good idea rarely address the points, and consistently attack the poster. I don't see many on here who still say Brexit is a good idea. And even if they do, that's their prerogative. As I've said before, your best option now is to get on with life, nothing is going to change. The constant 'Brexit is shit', 'they knew what they were voting for' and 'project fear looks like project reality' smells of 'I told you so'. It does nothing but make those people dig their heels in even further. It also looks very self-righteous. Why do you think these people are laughing at you? I promise you they're laughing. I've no idea why people are laughing at those who understand brexit. Maybe they're just embarrassed. This site is the epicenter of brexit believers. I have no opinion about people digging in their heels. And how is the country supposed to move forward when the politicians and a significant % of the population are still pretending everything is fine with brexit. It's creating problems that need addressing. Burying our heads in the sand and lashing out at "remoaners" isn't helping. There goes that self-righteousness again " Actually this thread has turned into more of a debate now. I voted to leave the EU and still very happy I did. And yes one of the many reasons was I'm against free movement within the EU. In my view before you ask and I know you will is because I don't like the idea.! | |||

"Some remainers are still shell shocked that they live in a nation they only half agree with. Are you really saying that half of the nation think that Brexit is great, despite reality? Bit patronising. Although the recent yougov survey suggested that upto 35% of people are still clinging tight to the brexit unicorn. That figure could be 0.0000001 %. The UK is not re joining th eu anytime soon. I agree. What's this got to do with your point about half the people still being confused about brexit? It was s democratic referendum it is not about winning its about democracy. The leave campaigns were both illegally funded, undermining democracy. I'm glad you appear to be one of the leavers who isn't obsessed with "we won, you lost" bullshit. Because we all know, that all of us lost (unless you're a billionaire, which is an assumption I am making). Obsessed? Of course they are obsessed! Another day another anti brexit post by one of the usual five or six who rant shout and scream the same comments as they did in the last thread and the one before and the one before that. Most brexit threads are full of posts from you complaining that people are discussing brexit. The thing is you do not discuss. Rather it's more put down anyone who disagree with your opinion. That applies to all the usually 5 or 6. Of course they don’t discuss brexit. With maybe one exception the other children just have tantrum after tantrum So discussion on the impact of brexit is 'children having tantrums'. But constantly complaining about people discussing brexit is somehow righteous and noble? I think the point they're making is that yourself and a few others don't actually bring anything new to the table and just bemoan the same old stuff. You make childish comments and don't add anything towards the debate. To me, it sounds like you're describing the "we won, you lost, remoaners should wind their necks in" contingent. Does it? I'd ask you this. Who starts these threads that don't tell us anything new? You'll find your answer. Various people start threads. Does that somehow legitimise the 'we won, you lost, remoaners should wind their neck in' types? Seems unrelated to me. The same people pretty much always start Brexit threads. Im offering you a perspective, if you don't want to see it, that's proves what I'm trying to tell you. Of course, you don't have to agree, i wouldn't expect you to. But, your asking people to stop using that argument, maybe have a look in the mirror at the same time. What are you going to change by pointing out Brexit negatives all the time? I'm not expecting anyone to stop anything. I'm merely pointing out that a number of people constantly complain about others discussing brexit. And never add anything in the way of engagement in the conversation. Nothing on these forums archives anything. No one who thinks brexit was a good idea is going to change their mind no matter how much they learn about the real life impact of brexit. It's all just a load of nonsense down here.

It's banter if the points are made fun of, it's bullying if the person is attacked. People who think brexit is a good idea rarely address the points, and consistently attack the poster.

I've no idea why people are laughing at those who understand brexit. Maybe they're just embarrassed. This site is the epicenter of brexit believers.

"Some remainers are still shell shocked that they live in a nation they only half agree with. Are you really saying that half of the nation think that Brexit is great, despite reality? Bit patronising. Although the recent yougov survey suggested that upto 35% of people are still clinging tight to the brexit unicorn. That figure could be 0.0000001 %. The UK is not re joining th eu anytime soon. I agree. What's this got to do with your point about half the people still being confused about brexit? It was s democratic referendum it is not about winning its about democracy. The leave campaigns were both illegally funded, undermining democracy. I'm glad you appear to be one of the leavers who isn't obsessed with "we won, you lost" bullshit. Because we all know, that all of us lost (unless you're a billionaire, which is an assumption I am making). Obsessed? Of course they are obsessed! Another day another anti brexit post by one of the usual five or six who rant shout and scream the same comments as they did in the last thread and the one before and the one before that. Most brexit threads are full of posts from you complaining that people are discussing brexit. The thing is you do not discuss. Rather it's more put down anyone who disagree with your opinion. That applies to all the usually 5 or 6. Of course they don’t discuss brexit. With maybe one exception the other children just have tantrum after tantrum So discussion on the impact of brexit is 'children having tantrums'. But constantly complaining about people discussing brexit is somehow righteous and noble? I think the point they're making is that yourself and a few others don't actually bring anything new to the table and just bemoan the same old stuff. You make childish comments and don't add anything towards the debate. To me, it sounds like you're describing the "we won, you lost, remoaners should wind their necks in" contingent. Does it? I'd ask you this. Who starts these threads that don't tell us anything new? You'll find your answer. Various people start threads. Does that somehow legitimise the 'we won, you lost, remoaners should wind their neck in' types? Seems unrelated to me. The same people pretty much always start Brexit threads. Im offering you a perspective, if you don't want to see it, that's proves what I'm trying to tell you. Of course, you don't have to agree, i wouldn't expect you to. But, your asking people to stop using that argument, maybe have a look in the mirror at the same time. What are you going to change by pointing out Brexit negatives all the time? I'm not expecting anyone to stop anything. I'm merely pointing out that a number of people constantly complain about others discussing brexit. And never add anything in the way of engagement in the conversation. Nothing on these forums archives anything. No one who thinks brexit was a good idea is going to change their mind no matter how much they learn about the real life impact of brexit. It's all just a load of nonsense down here. In conclusion, if those people voted to make the country poorer, to damage British businesses and to remove our freedom of movement within the EU. Surely they can handle some meaningless brexit banter on a swingers forum. Are you sure no one will change their minds? You like to point out that only 35% of people still think Brexit is a good idea. That means 17% of people changed their minds already BTW, is it banter or is it bullying?

"Rejoining has issues as the EU has moved on with new taxes such as a new carbon tax on fuel and heating which is part of reason even the Lib Dem leader has been quiet on rejoin as it’s going to be a hard sell." Rejoining the EU is definitely not a quick fix for all the problems the country is facing right now. In my opinion, it would be a useful exercise to explore what the opinions would be, what would rejoining mean, what deal would we get, what impact would that have on UK businesses etc. | |||

"Rejoining has issues as the EU has moved on with new taxes such as a new carbon tax on fuel and heating which is part of reason even the Lib Dem leader has been quiet on rejoin as it’s going to be a hard sell." It's an on going process as in many places. I see a story a little while ago that over 25000 new laws have been introduced since brexit ( did not read into it so not sure if they mean the referendum date or actually leaving). Apparently 25 of the 27 members have been in breach of laws, some multiple times. | |||

"A civilised debate devoid of insults (or banter) would be nice once in a while. But then insults and banter go hand in hand with the footballisation so to be expected I guess!" With the six nations on going it would focus the debate on rugbyisation were it is sorted out on the pitch. | |||

"Thread got too long so here is part 2... As per posts in the other thread, Brexit is done so there are no more Brexiters/Leavers or Remainers. What we have now are three groups... Brejoiners Bregretters Breleavers (see what I did there) On the point in the other thread about Britain being controlled by foreign governments. Sorry but that is utter crap and shows a complete lack of understanding of how being a member of the EU worked. The UK not only had complete and full involvement over every single rule, regulation, legislation and law in the EU, but the number they voted against is so small you cannot even find a % figure for it. However, we do know that the UK voted in favour of 98% of them and abstained on c.2% (ie it didn’t impact or concern us). Not seeing much foreign control there! In actual fact you could just as easily switch that control argument around and say that the UK’s privileged position (outside Schengen, not in Euro, with a veto) meant we were able to have influence and control over the other 26 member countries! This whole “it’s happened now so just accept it and move on” is analogous to domestic abusers “I know I have hurt you, perhaps permanently damaged you, but that is in the past now, it happened, so time to move on!” That thread (and no doubt this one) also once again shows the juvenile and reductive binary tribalism that has arisen since the Brexit debate kicked in. The footballisation of politics. So using (stretching) the football analogy. Your team, call them the Blues, have been in the Premier League for years and pretty much always come second. Some of the board of directors are convinced the Blues can do better, manage to persuade the fans and have been greedily eyeing up a new manager. They get the new manager who then completely changes the team line up, playing style and format. It all goes terribly wrong and the Blues slip down the Premier League and are now facing relegation. Some of the fans aren’t happy but the others, the ones who had demanded this new manager just tell them to accept it, it’s done, we are where we are. Do you think the fans will just shut up and accept it?" At what point is the EU parliament Erected and a full democracy. And if it was why would you need Westminster. One had to go not saying the right one went but to meny levels of control just increases coast and waste. Parish Council, Town Council, Country Council, Uk parliament, EU parliament, The town Council only wanted to put up a notice board but EU said it had to be assessable to all so would cost to much so never happens. | |||

Do you think the fans will just shut up and accept it?" Trouble is we only had about 7% of the total vote in the EU parliament. Plus the laws are made by the EU commission, a body of unelected individuals, one from each country. They make the laws. The EU parliament votes yes or no to laws, sometimes two or three per minute. The simple fact is that while in the EU you don't make your laws, you have little influence overall ,you cannot make your own trade deals around the world, that is done by the EU, and you have zero control over your borders. Wtf should we parly with other countries about how we run our country? Our laws should be made by our elected representatives. In the EU your representatives do NOT make the laws. They can only vote for or against and your vote overall is a small percentage. The eu was designed deliberately to be undemocratic. Sunak, Hunt and the Tories ( green socialist zealots now) are rabid europhiles, making Britain fail so they can say look how wonderful the eu is,let's rejoin. They've humped up corporation tax to drive away business. They have done nothing to promote us. They've just racked up debt,spent too much,printed too much and that's what causes inflation. They are... Traitors. | |||

"Its funny and ironic to some extent that people blame Brexit for our economic mess but heard that the UK grew 4% in the whole of 2022, bigger then Germany who's suppose to be the bread and butter of the EU? Not saying Brexit isnt causing issues on things in the cointry but its not the main reason why things are tough at the moment. " Lol, growing 4% from a base level lower than since the second world war isn't much of an achievement. Many other countries didn't fall so far so quickly thats all It's funny to watch people struggling to come to terms with the fact that they were conned into voting for something so bad they can't come up with a single solitary benefit that will be achieved in the next generation. Maybe it's time to put down the shovel and stop digging and start rebuilding the brexiteers have a huge debt to repay. | |||

"Rejoining has issues as the EU has moved on with new taxes such as a new carbon tax on fuel and heating which is part of reason even the Lib Dem leader has been quiet on rejoin as it’s going to be a hard sell. So if the UK was still in the EU the UK population would now be paying these new taxes? It's a bloody good job the UK left in my opinion.! The UK could have voted against them The UK could have voted against but then likely get fined for missing Climate change targets." Likely?? Like I said, they could have voted against them | |||

"Thread got too long so here is part 2... As per posts in the other thread, Brexit is done so there are no more Brexiters/Leavers or Remainers. What we have now are three groups... Brejoiners Bregretters Breleavers (see what I did there) On the point in the other thread about Britain being controlled by foreign governments. Sorry but that is utter crap and shows a complete lack of understanding of how being a member of the EU worked. The UK not only had complete and full involvement over every single rule, regulation, legislation and law in the EU, but the number they voted against is so small you cannot even find a % figure for it. However, we do know that the UK voted in favour of 98% of them and abstained on c.2% (ie it didn’t impact or concern us). Not seeing much foreign control there! In actual fact you could just as easily switch that control argument around and say that the UK’s privileged position (outside Schengen, not in Euro, with a veto) meant we were able to have influence and control over the other 26 member countries! This whole “it’s happened now so just accept it and move on” is analogous to domestic abusers “I know I have hurt you, perhaps permanently damaged you, but that is in the past now, it happened, so time to move on!” That thread (and no doubt this one) also once again shows the juvenile and reductive binary tribalism that has arisen since the Brexit debate kicked in. The footballisation of politics. So using (stretching) the football analogy. Your team, call them the Blues, have been in the Premier League for years and pretty much always come second. Some of the board of directors are convinced the Blues can do better, manage to persuade the fans and have been greedily eyeing up a new manager. They get the new manager who then completely changes the team line up, playing style and format. It all goes terribly wrong and the Blues slip down the Premier League and are now facing relegation. Some of the fans aren’t happy but the others, the ones who had demanded this new manager just tell them to accept it, it’s done, we are where we are. Do you think the fans will just shut up and accept it? Trouble is we only had about 7% of the total vote in the EU parliament. Plus the laws are made by the EU commission, a body of unelected individuals, one from each country. They make the laws. The EU parliament votes yes or no to laws, sometimes two or three per minute. The simple fact is that while in the EU you don't make your laws, you have little influence overall ,you cannot make your own trade deals around the world, that is done by the EU, and you have zero control over your borders. Wtf should we parly with other countries about how we run our country? Our laws should be made by our elected representatives. In the EU your representatives do NOT make the laws. They can only vote for or against and your vote overall is a small percentage. The eu was designed deliberately to be undemocratic. Sunak, Hunt and the Tories ( green socialist zealots now) are rabid europhiles, making Britain fail so they can say look how wonderful the eu is,let's rejoin. They've humped up corporation tax to drive away business. They have done nothing to promote us. They've just racked up debt,spent too much,printed too much and that's what causes inflation. They are... Traitors. " It is what you voted for | |||

"I was told the UK was better before we joined the EU. I cant agree or disagree as I wasnt around when the UK joined in 1973" The UK joined a trading group in 1973, the European Economic Community. The EU wasn't created until November 1993. | |||

"It's funny to watch people struggling to come to terms with the fact that they were conned into voting for something so bad they can't come up with a single solitary benefit that will be achieved in the next generation." In the previous thread people quoted Brexit benefits that have already been achieved. There were also examples of further benefits that could be achieved in the next 20 years. | |||

"The benefits of Brexit (from a neutral point of viewl is: The UK gets to control their own borders (the UK couldnt do that under Freedom of Movement rules in the EU) The UK gets to have better trade relationships with other countries outside the EU that suits their needs (as a member of the EU, the UK could not have its own trade policy that suited them) Don't have to spend billions of money on EU membership The UK gets to get rid of EU Buarocracy that were very restricted " Strangely enough several EU countries closed their borders during COVID I've yet to see any reasonable example of trade agreements outside the EU that are mor beneficial than what we had.

"I was told the UK was better before we joined the EU. I cant agree or disagree as I wasnt around when the UK joined in 1973" Britain didn’t join the EU in 1973. It joined the EEC. Prior to joining the UK was called the sick man (economy) of Europe. Being in the EEC hugely benefitted the UK pushing us to being the 2nd biggest economy in Europe and 5th in the World. Since leaving the EU we are now declining. | |||

You say UK citizens benifit for being in the EU can I ask HOW They were able to retire in the sunshine and 100s of thousands worked in the EU I get 100s of thousands worked in the EU but if 100s of millions came to work in the UK that's an in ballance Population of UK is c.67million. Wonder where all those 100s of millions were hiding all that time? Their own countries must have been pretty empty too!" Shocking news (if true). | |||

"The benefits of Brexit (from a neutral point of viewl is: The UK gets to control their own borders (the UK couldnt do that under Freedom of Movement rules in the EU) The UK gets to have better trade relationships with other countries outside the EU that suits their needs (as a member of the EU, the UK could not have its own trade policy that suited them) Don't have to spend billions of money on EU membership The UK gets to get rid of EU Buarocracy that were very restricted Strangely enough several EU countries closed their borders during COVID I've yet to see any reasonable example of trade agreements outside the EU that are mor beneficial than what we had. We spend more on control of imports/exports to the EU that. We previously spent on net contributions (don't believe the headline figures do your own calculations) There are loads of claimed benefits but none that make any us better off or safer. It's not about making us better off, it's about liberty not money. No it's wasn't and no it isn't lol Note from teacher : Must try harder " Explain. What was it about then Einstein ?

We previously spent on net contributions (don't believe the headline figures do your own calculations) There are loads of claimed benefits but none that make any us better off or safer. From memory I think some countries did close their borders during covid but that was an exceptional circumstance. Apart from such exceptional circumstance was freedom of movement fixed. Freedom of movement of EU citizens between the member countries of the EU is enshrined in the membership rules. It worked both ways as the c.2million Brits living in Spain used to enjoy. There seems to be this notion that FoM only impacted the UK and everyone was coming here. They weren’t. And just as those who came here enjoyed the benefits of FoM, so too did the Brits moving to other European countries to live/work. Yes I get how it works but unsure how saying closing the boarders in the time of covid helps explain to the poster who is not so keen on freedom of movement. Unless there is another pandemic or similar then freedom of movement will continue. If I understand the other poster correctly, they are happy it's gone. Apologies if I got that wrong Sorry Leroy I was making more of a general comment rather than a direct reply to you." | |||

This is pretty funny. But alas, thank you I'll decline. No doubt you think the ocezns are boiling and we need to get CO2 out of the atmosphere!? Eejits. The oceans aren't boiling. But we do need to reduce the amount of CO2 (amongst other greenhouse gasses) that we are pumping into the atmosphere yes. What's wrong with CO2? Nothing is wrong with CO2. There is however something wrong with levels of CO2 in the atmosphere increasing rapidly through human activity. What's wrong with the level? This should be good. When the level of CO2 in the atmosphere increases. It traps more light from the sun in the form of heat, reradiating it back down to the surface, warming the planet, extremely rapidly (compared to natural climate cycles). This is definitely not good. Wtf??? CO2 is 3% of all greenhouse gas. And why just man made? And so what if the earth gets a bit warmer? The earth is 15% greener than it was in 2000, crop yield up, more trees....no I think we need more CO2. CO2 means life. Green plants love it. Itjyzt a money grab and an attempt to wreck the west.

" The impact of the climate warming is vast, it causes extreme weather events, drought, etc etc, which impacts people, and other animal species that cannot adapt to the very rapid changes " The earth is 15% greener than it was in 2000, crop yield up, more trees....no I think we need more CO2.

"Back to the OP. I don't necessarily think rejoining the EU is the answer. But it should be explored as an option. Scope out how it would work for real. Basically the opposite of what the leavers did. With no plan or idea." In the short/medium term we need closer allignment in some sense. Clearly. | |||

"The benefits of Brexit (from a neutral point of viewl is: The UK gets to control their own borders (the UK couldnt do that under Freedom of Movement rules in the EU) The UK gets to have better trade relationships with other countries outside the EU that suits their needs (as a member of the EU, the UK could not have its own trade policy that suited them) Don't have to spend billions of money on EU membership The UK gets to get rid of EU Buarocracy that were very restricted Strangely enough several EU countries closed their borders during COVID I've yet to see any reasonable example of trade agreements outside the EU that are mor beneficial than what we had. We spend more on control of imports/exports to the EU that. We previously spent on net contributions (don't believe the headline figures do your own calculations) There are loads of claimed benefits but none that make any us better off or safer. From memory I think some countries did close their borders during covid but that was an exceptional circumstance. Apart from such exceptional circumstance was freedom of movement fixed. Freedom of movement of EU citizens between the member countries of the EU is enshrined in the membership rules. It worked both ways as the c.2million Brits living in Spain used to enjoy. There seems to be this notion that FoM only impacted the UK and everyone was coming here. They weren’t. And just as those who came here enjoyed the benefits of FoM, so too did the Brits moving to other European countries to live/work. Yes I get how it works but unsure how saying closing the boarders in the time of covid helps explain to the poster who is not so keen on freedom of movement. Unless there is another pandemic or similar then freedom of movement will continue. If I understand the other poster correctly, they are happy it's gone. Apologies if I got that wrong The point is, countries within the EU can control their borders if the need arises." They can only do that in exceptional circumstances like the pandemic which I believe is the only time it's happened. In all other times freedom of movement applies regardless of what the individual countries want. As the other poster correctly said, it is enshrined into EU law. | |||
