"...talks about potential lack of investment by the banks. What investment? We aren’t even a nation of shopkeepers any longer; we’re a nation of pizza deliverers."

East, a warmonger and crook
South, a beacon of light

EU compared to USA
3/yrs+ life expectancy. Third of baby deaths. Less crime\murders, better life work balance. No healthcare bankruptcies. Higher living standards. Fewer suicides.

Why wouldn't you?

#UKPol #RejoinEU

Because Canada asked nicely and we still think we're an Empire that can make demands of those larger and more powerful than us?

Do not forget this is a CHOICE.

Joining a CU, giving a significant boost to the cash in peoples pockets, is not ruled out by the referendum. Period.

Staggering Labour would prefer families to struggle even more... than do what 116 countries around the world have done, join a CU.

Technology and AI

Politicians should define how far technology has truly progressed in practice and what its practical applications currently involve. Then sensible discussion and decisions might be made.

It's quite increadible that everyone knows he's going to do it and no-one at all is going to stop him; imagine if it leaked that an Australian PM planned to demolish the Sydney Opera House or the UK PM were going to bulldoze the National Gallery?

Good news for the day -

2/2

I wonder what other countries will follow the lead of Canada and Australia?

Obviously, countries like Russia, Israel and America are not suitable, but there are many who share the same values.

#UKPol #RejoinEU

Oh no, you don't!

You know what you have to do.
You know there's a magic EU tree just over the channel.

Instead, you're off to Trump, like that's achieved anything for the six failures before you.

Except getting us gouged on drugs, steel et al.
And far worse tariffs than the EU.

#UKPol #RejoinEU

It's not 'punishment'. Or "out in the cold".

It's just we got off the world, and we're being crushed in the EU upwards and onwards stampede.

Now we sit on our arses wondering if we can have what Canada's getting.
Sit. On. Our. Arses.

Where's Burnham? Hell, any MP worth a damn?

#UKPol #RejoinEU

Pittance compared to the £240Bn we throw down the Brexit toilet every year.

And the French appreciate Brexiters paying for a few of their potholes repairs.

Mind, quite a coincidence this news coming out now.
Just coupla weeks before the deal ends.
And France not wanting to renew.

See, why more worth of critique than running a half marathon... #AndyBurnham #UKPol

Years ago, UK asked. EU said no, it's not on offer to nearby countries.
But geopolitics has changed. Would it hurt to ask?

Wouldn't all like to be better off? No small boats at all?

Not have to worry about incoming Rules of Origin or "Made in Europe" Act killing more UK industry?

#UKPol #RejoinEU

Like electricity.
Decades pre-Brexit we were charged a mid-table amount.
Then Brexit = Most expensive in the world.

Nobody has taken responsibility.
Tax crooks of the RW Press\BBC consistently lie about Brexit's contribution.

Same with small boats.
Literally none before Brexit.

#UKPol #RejoinEU

I asked
Has the EU officially said the UK must wait before applying to rejoin?

Google AI: "No, the EU has not officially or unofficially stated that the UK must wait a set amount of time"

So we're missing out on prosperity and influence because tax crooks, bribers and Putin then?
