KidKruger Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 The Govt isn?t going to take this ?opportunity? to make anything safer, cleaner, or better quality, when they?ve had decades already to do the same unhindered - without the impact of Brexit and pandemic costs.This seems worse than conjecture, why are you even floating this as a possibility ?!Has TheCat got your tongue ?

malumbu Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 You seem to be arguing with yourself KK, I'm just reflecting on what our government says, for example:"The Environment Bill is at the vanguard of our work to implement the most ambitious environmental programme of any country on earth".The last part of the sentence would have included anti EU rhetoric a year earlier, rather than just inferring it.

KidKruger Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 No mate, I?m just contesting what you wrote about Govt ?opportunity?. If you?re saying now you didn?t mean what you wrote, it doesn?t diminish my response. I can only respond to what I read !

TheCat Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 OK....so here is hopefully a 'silver lining' thought to end the year for the many people concerned about brexit/tories etc etc....At the time of the referendum, I recall saying to a friend that at least out of EU, there would be absolutley nowhere to hide for any government of the UK. And so it is transpiring, that while the pandemic is providing some cover, the general populace is slowly realising that this govt, under Johnson, is bereft of basically most positive qualities one would hope for in a government.So...while we may enter another year of brexit doom for many of you, feel comforted that it should hasten the demise of this absolute sh-tshow of a PM...Happy New Year all....

Seabag Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 I?m sure Boris will hang around long enough to sort this little issue, so all that lovely fruit & veg can seamlessly enter the UK food chain.Food supplies face further disruption from 1 January due to a "medieval" government IT system that is still not yet ready to process post-Brexit paperwork, The Independent has learned.Companies importing food from the EU must comply with reams of additional red tape from Saturday but, with just hours to go, it was still not possible for some traders to submit vital details of their cargo because government software is plagued by technical bugs.https://apple.news/A3oBQ7rePSnqoZOqFtuSikQ Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/275461-sunlit-uplands-are-we-there-yet/page/29/#findComment-1556791 Share on other sites More sharing options...

malumbu Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Perhaps a New Years resolution should be to move on from Brexit, accept that it was the will of the people (no matter how silly that may have been) and focus your energies on how you can improve things for society, campaigning, getting involved in local or national politics, volunteering and the like.

diable rouge Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 malumbu's gone all Vichy, would you like your tummy tickled while you're adopting the submission position?I'm glad you can 'move on' from Brexit, many people can't, many have been directly affected by Brexit and continue to do so.The best thing people can do to 'improve society' is 'focus energies on how you can improve things for society' by calling out Brexit for what it is, and work towards closer ties to the EU by ''campaigning, getting involved in local or national politics, volunteering and the like.'There, fixed it for you...

Sephiroth Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 don't be harsh DRthere are a lot of local and national campaigns to get involved in - and if they don't go the way you want, just stick your fingers in the air and go "la la la" - that seems to be the adviceSeriously tho - this "pretend it's something OTHER" has infected English discourse form day 1 - be it tory/labour, leaver/remainer - too many English people think Brexit is in no way connected with normal life and really not worth troubling with.
