I think I can pass up this wonderful opportunity. Largely because I despise the EU with every fibre of my being. I voted to leave. That we have BRINO as a consequence, doesn’t change how I feel. I would vote the same way again. The thought of re-joining fills me with horror. So, yeah, let them march, but I will never support their cause.

When i go directly to your header I get an SSL failure but I can go directly to the post with no problem. Hope this helps with debugging the problem.
I’m migrating to a new host, so hopefully that will sort it.
Same here.
I don’t quite know what to make of the people who can’t accept that the UK has left the EU and that they need to move on. A strange mentality. Of course, freed from the hidebound bureaucracy of the EU, the UK could have made leaving an outstanding success if our worthless politicians weren’t determined not to let that happen under any circumstances. They would rather see us ruined than have themselves made to look like fools.
Hear, hear!
I’ve looked at the committee members and didn’t notice any heavy hitters. I’ve looked at their breathless news articles, mostly in the regional press. Not particularly appealing and avoiding all the costs of re-entry.
But when all has been said and done, who is financing this? Who benefits?
It has long been a thing that ousted politicians, the has beens, and sometimes the not ever even weres, always had a comfy sinecure waiting for them at the EU. The most ludicrously generous pay and conditions awaited even the most talentless morons. This bright future has been cruelly snatched from them by all you nasty leave voters. If you need cheering up a bit more, just go back in your mind to those millennials, in tears because their future had been ruined. The ones that didn’t think to actually go out and vote.
I was, and am, all for Brexit but you have to admit that we have kept, or follow, all the EU crap without any benefits. Just more power to homegrown bureaucracy.
Losing freedom to travel or trade is not progress.
That’s not a Brexit problem, though, is it?
Freed from the hidebound bureaucracy of the EU, the UK could have made leaving an outstanding success if our worthless politicians weren’t determined not to let that happen under any circumstances. They would rather see us ruined than have themselves made to look like fools. That is the problem Monoi, our government failing to take advantage of the opportunities that independence created. A sane energy policy alone would have had vast swathes of European manufacturing industry wanting to set up shop in the UK.
All we need now are politicians with the vision, and the gumption to actually capitalise on the opportunity.
But with Sunak at the (rudderless) helm, and (God forbid) Starmer and Angie waiting in the wings, I shan’t hold my breath.
Very clearly they all plan together to make nothing of Brexit, and then to claim that nothing could be made of it.
I suspect, but cannot prove, that there has been a very quiet slow coup in the UK (and elsewhere in the world too). Does it make more sense to see Sunak as a puppet of the Civil Service regime or is he his own man?
Consider too the fate of the previous PMs. Truss went off the standard economic mindset and was quickly removed. Boris hung on long enough to ‘Get Brexit Done’ although he was dropped as soon as Covid faded and it looked like the Northern Ireland border protocols might be resolved. Theresa May talked a good talk at the start of her premiership (Lancaster House Speech, 17 January 2017) but soon became corrupted by the BRINO aims of the Civil Service. Cameron jumped ship before he had to go against the Civil Service.
You can also argue that the Civil Service coup has affected the Leaders of the Opposition too. It was too easy to undermine Corbyn (he was useless and easy to link to terrorists) and arguably Sir IKEA has done good work eliminating the people with unapproved ideas from the Labour Party but ended up with only the same set of Civil Service ‘views’ that constrain the Government.
