The whole arguments over the last 5 years could have been avoided!!! If they had only said "vote Brexit and there will be shelf after shelf of pork and apple sausages, pies, stilton and red leicester" i'd be amazed if leave hadnt got 90% of the vote!

I wonder what percentage of those exported were carried by private individuals?
I know it’s the rules and all that for non-EU produce but it is fairly ridiculous, it’s not as if it all suddenly became more dangerous just because the date changed.

Date has changed, but also the standards of meat production are no longer garanteed as per EU regs, husbandry, feeds, antiotics, etc.
And the EU has never forgotten about CJD- the reason we Britis still cannot give blood in EU or CH.

| | Re: The Brexit referendum thread: potential consequences for GB, EU and the Brits in | Quote: | |  | | | This also has no relevance/is incorrect. UK visitors don't need a visa in most cases to visit for short periods regardless of Swiss permit. The question is if UK visitors with a Swiss permit can visit any Schengen country without the limited stay restriction. Is the Swiss Permit a 'Schengen passport' if you like. | | | | | There is no such thing as "UK visitors with a Swiss permit".
If one has a Swiss permit then one is a Swiss resident, visitors do not get a Swiss permit.
UK visitors may not enter Switzerland for non-essential travel (e.g. for the purpose of tourism) from 1 January 2021 for as long as the UK is categorized as a high-risk Coronavirus country by Switzerland and these restrictions for non-essential travel remain applicable in the Schengen area, of which Switzerland is a member.

Grumpy can import British cheese but we can’t bring any back with us. It’s the same cheese so what’s the difference?

Well done Sir- it is good to see that some people saw right through the lies. This link was deleted by MC, as I did not add a comment. I thought it was clear and self explanatory. And indicates that it was not, 'just the inttellectual lefities' who could see the truth. Those in the North, and all parts of the UK, fishermen, farmers, car workers, and so many more- have now changed their mind- as they see how it will all affect them so deeply. Sovereignty (whatever that means- this deal does not give the UK Sovereignty...) does not feed your family.

Just say it with confidence. And kindly refrain from guessing what I think. Some Tories are great. Some Labour are shits. I think Boris and Co are dishonest incompetent dicks, but I doubt that's news.
Oh yeah, friend Dido whatsit and the covid track and trace. There willbe some dodgy dealing over school food vouchers too. But I suspect you'll claim I'm deluded there too.  30 quid for a fiver'' worth of food and some unscrupulous company trousers the rest. It's not a left/right issue. It's basic human decency. Both sides are capable of that, surely.

Many of our friends and relatives are Conservatives, and they are totally ashamed of this Governement, and what it happening with Covid and Brexit. Some voted remain, some voted Leave. Of those who voted Leave, only one has not changed his mind. So stop your stereotypical nonsense and personal attacks re being a 'snob', and all this extreme lefty cr**.

And apparently personal attacks can't happen to the wimmins on this forum, only the dudes. It's possible I spelt "bellend" incorrectly. Someone check?

Clapham Common tube station is in a split ward (Clapham Common).
Clapham Junction is in a very strong Conservative ward (Northcote).
I stood on "the wrong side of the tracks" - Latchmere immediately to the North of Clapham Junction for the Conservatives and lost - so the politics of Clapham is something I know very well (although noting the obvious fact that Clapham Junction isn't really in Clapham).

If I had to guess I'd say we are looking at a Conservative majority next time around - perhaps a hung parliament but there's basically no chance of a labour majority.
Brexit support never dropped below c.40-45% even in the tortous May years. I imagine rejoin support is no more than 20-30% now. The people you know are not reflective of the country in any way shape or form.
