While part of it is done, in reality it means decades of ongoing negotiations in order to try and resume ‘normalcy’ as we’ve swapped a known relationship with the EU for a load of nonsense. It also looks like it means fresh violence in Northern Ireland.
Bear in mind the government, having signed up to the deal, are now saying it’s the EU’s fault for wanting the UK to adhere to the terms of the deal it signed up to.
As anyone who’s read this thread knows, I now live in and work in Germany.
I‘m on an off-site meeting with my colleagues from our Swiss site. One of our team had a birthday and we sang „Happy Birthday“ in French, English, Spanish, German, Italian and Croatian, because amongst the 30 of us. there are Swiss, Germans, Austrians, Italians, Spaniards, one Frenchwoman, two Croatians, an Indian guy, and me as the lone Brit. The conversation wandered between German and English depending on who was in and who was buying the drinks. It is late, trust me there were a lot of drinks. And this is the world I want to live in, a genuinely cross-national world where a bunch of people through chance, or birth, or career choice, have ended up on the same team, with the same goal, in the same hotel bar arguing how to achieve it.
This is why I loathe Brexit, all who advocated and voted for it, who still agitate for it. It is a catastrophe, an insult, a resurgence of all that wrong in humanity. I grieve still for the land of my birth.
With the approaching death and destruction of some 120,000 pigs, the Prime Minister is not concerned at the enormous scale of the waste because if they were going to be eaten, they would be killed anyway.
The UK government has decided the deal it signed up to is no good. As it has done every step of the way. And will do so again.
So the EU has eased checks to help NI, because NI is in the Single Market. This is sold as a victory in the UK for Frost’s ‘hard bargaining’ while simultaneously something the UK government has to try and undermine because NI being in the SM shows up why the rest of the UK is having shortages. The EU no longer has to care about domestic UK opinion.
Oh, and an MP was murdered, which is our second in five years.
I thought this thread was the best fit. This is from an A level textbook (so that’s 16-18 years old). At first I thought the question was designed to incense students into a passionate defence of Indigenous Americans , but after reading the text I’m not so sure.
I’d like to take a brief comedic break from UK gov pushing people under whatever convenient vehicle is passing by, to reflect upon the recent deliberations in the House of Lords quibbling over pornography
