[Merged]Brexit stuff

This caller voted to leave the EU so we could take control of our own laws. James O'Brien asked which law he was most looking forward to getting rid of. This is what happened next.

Ashley from Pinner said that he was willing to take a "short-term" hit on his business in order to free Britain from the bureaucratic red tape of the EU.

James asked for just one European law that he was excited to repeal. And Ashley couldn't name a single one.

Eventually, Ashley laughed as he said: "The shape of your bananas."

But James responded: "It's not funny, is it? The pound is at the lowest it's been since 1965, you just said "any law" and I'm just asking you to name one.

"We both know that bananas was a lie made up by Boris Johnson. Remind me which side he was on during the Leave campaign.

"What is the law? You know you were going to take short-term economic damage, you knew that all your customers would do as a newly-formed electrician company. Every single customer in the country is going to be potentially worse off than they were before the vote.

"So I'm just wondering what those laws are that you won't have to obey any more that made you vote for this short-term economic hit.

"Can you name one?"

Ashley's response: "I wouldn't be able to, no."

Yeah and the good thing is neither will he be able to name one for the foreseeable future.

Smells good to me.

Probably because when the magic happens, they'll be British laws

...with the prime minister also announcing plans for a “great repeal bill” to incorporate all EU regulations in UK law as soon as Brexit takes effect...

I think I might have changed my mind on Brexit, UK is welcome to it.

Since I moved here I've not had one Big Issue (or equiv.) thrust in my face, no one complaining about the minimum wage (there isn't one, people just get paid well enough everywhere) and I've only seen one homeless persion, and I think he only does it cos he likes it, he sleeps near the main entrance to Tivoli.

There is no discernable underclass here, UK has a huge one, and either created by selfless immigrants deliberately coming to UK and going on the dole and getting £1m mansions for their 12 kids by 9 different mothers, or it's a natural result of rampant capitalism.

I'm just gonna stroke my new Viking beard while I think about that one....

Yes, stek is going native, trying not too though, I need and miss Warbies Crumpets soo much...

Do you really think anyone gives a sh*t?

[stek]

Do you really think anyone gives a sh*t?

Either 48% probably do or 63% depending if you count those that didn't vote.

It's 100% or 0% for you isn't it? Says a lot.
