EU referendum, brexit and the aftermath

So much Brexit winning, it’s hard to keep up

Yes. We now say don't send presents to relatives having been stung for presents.

^^ I now have a blue passport though. And the uplands looked sunlit from my office window briefly yesterday.

I was explaining to a French colleague yesterday how the kids at my daughter's school describe a bad tackle when playing football as a 'brexit tackle'. He was most amused.

"The government has not explained"

I am shocked. Shocked and stunned.

We are soon going to be eating all the “brown food” supermarkets and big businesses like to sell us due to these new border checks, I guess that’s what the leavers wanted and not have our heritage and cuisine eroded away by ‘foreign muck’.
We can all savour the sweet taste of sovereignty though…

Brexit not done with Northern Ireland yet.

Veterinary medicine supplies are at risk...

Ketamine shortage?

No issues with that, drug dealers have found alternative supplies ;)

Literally everything coming from GB, EU gave an exception for labelling and retesting requirements for human medicine. Animal medicine not yet...

After coming out of recession the only way is up. Are we still the only G7 economy yet to return to pre pandemic levels?

My thoughts exactly.

Brexiteers will really think that France are trolling them.

David Davis must be wondering where it all went wrong.

Based on Barnier's politics lately, I think Brexiters would be pretty chuffed to see someone like him in power.

The bremoaner sunlit uplands..

Talk to me about how being outside the EU gives us the equivalent infrastructure investment for free?

and I gather testing and certifications is a pretty expensive process.

Yep, and any additional costs for duplicate certification, and costs associated with any time delays causes UK-produced pharmaceuticals to be less competitive than EU-produced competitors.
