Brexit.

[Orior]

DUP must be caught between a rock and a hard place. They championed Brexit against the will of the people they represent, and it's complete shit. Anywhere else, they would be gone in the next election, but unlikely as it will be again about keeping themmun's out.

Anybody try and renew their EHIC Health card?

[Seaney]

You need to receive at least 4 vaccinations to be considered.

Boris and his Tory government really are pathetic, their deal with the EU seems to be akin to turkeys voting in favour of Christmas ...

I hope the trucks on the sailing leaving Holyhead shortly have their paperwork in order.

You wouldn't wish being stuck in Holyhead in the middle of winter in a lockdown on your worst enemy, it's bad enough being stuck there in summer even with pubs open, as happened to me once, luckily I wasn't driving

Brexit is a tragedy for the UK

English nationalism is poisonous


https://bbc.com/news/amp/uk-55348994?__twitter_impression=true... "Brexit was, to the Leavers, like falling in love with someone that they believed was the answer to their dreams," Mr Wilkie says."
https://neweuropeans.net/.../long-and-winding-road-back-eu
There will be no free movement of people, no free roaming charges, no passports for pets "The Prime Minister said "now for the sprouts", but the problem is that although Brussels sprouts can move freely between Belgium and the UK, that will no longer be the case for people."

End of #Erasmus exchanges with the UK, while access to research grants has been neutered "#Erasmus decision was driven by ideology. Last thing UK government wants is to continue to expose young people to European "way of life". What exactly are they afraid of?" #NewEuropeans

UK negotiating team failed to secure right for Britain to have a say in #Euratom #ITER #Copernicus #Galileo and UK will not have access to #Galileo encrypted military data. "Even in outer space, it is not possible to have your cake and eat it". #NewEuropeans #BrexitDeal

Services make up 80% of UK economy but were largely left out of #BrexitDeal "UK citizens will not be able to sell actuarial services in Italy or construction services in Cyprus. They will not be able to be surveyors in Bulgaria or tobacconists in France"

Social rights will be undermined and environmental standards will be lower "New process agreed for safeguarding a "level playing field" sets such a high bar for proof that key elements are likely to be enforced only rarely."

One racist moron on boards.ie today was shrieking how the blacks were the problem in this country and that it was the fault of the EU they'd all been let in

You'd get more sense out of a baboon

Feel the freedom, much freedom. The best freedom.
