Thumper Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 I would like to note that I live in the EU, and as a consequence my local import shop no longer has British sausages. Thank f**k therefore that Irish sausages are identical. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staying at Grote Markt, any good bars nearby? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The list goes on. Somebody could even start a new thread about it all. I take it that all the Brexit shenanigans wont affect the production of sliced sausage with black pudding in the middle?

Jacksgranda Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 That's only 8.35%, relatively small compared with the usual increases, I'd hardly call it a "significant" increase. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The contribution. The bureaucracy. The plethora of rules and regulations that push up unit costs of goods. The mass migration of cheap labour robbing locals of jobs and driving down wages and benefits. Economic and political integration that erodes the independence and sovereignty of member States. Then the very thought and costs of an EU army. Better it had remained as a simple trading bloc and not this socio economic bloc made up of disparate nations shoe horned into one size fits all solution and narcissistic c***s like Macron calling the shots. And oh yes, that echo chamber of MEPs that add no value, but plenty of costs. The discontent among members as they draw the line against encroachment of their culture and values by the Brussels bureaucrats. I give it ten years and it will no longer exist. A costly project that has driven up costs and overburdened nation states with debt and stymied civil liberties. We witnessed the raiding of our state benefits systems and social housing priority given to EU migrants, far less overburdening the NHS and education. A vassal that has engendered wokeness and cancel culture to disadvantage the majority in a blatent attempt at social engineering. I have more in common with a Yetti than some anglophobic French or German twat or some fucking crime lord from Albania or Rumania peddling death on our streets unfettered. A burgeoning new crime wave in human trafficking and child prostitution. Murders and rapes committed by the faceless EU migrants. The list goes on. Britain was never part of the inner sanctum to its cost and the agenda against us continues today. Time Boris grew a spine and gave them the GTF pills. Gun boats in the Channel will suffice. As Nicola has also been advised by her own, drop the pretend EU love in. Its costing her votes. An old and misused SNP tactic that is contradictory to the indy message and tbh no longer neccessary. I'm not an indy lover myself, but with Boris in power, it doesn't take much to convince anyone that indy maybe the better alternative.
