Brexit in a nutshell

By *exy7 OP Man over a year ago

Bristol

This article sums it up.

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/oct/23/uk-presses-for-use-of-faster-passport-gates-at-eu-airports-post-brexit

This week the UK told us that EU citizens would be treated like non EU citizens from January onwards when it comes to immigration. However, it doesn’t seem to embarrass them to ask for British citizens to be allowed to be processed in faster lanes at EU airports. What is wrong with this people? Do they understand the idea that once you’re out, you’re out. When will these cretins stop ridicule song this country. I’m waiting with anticipation the brexit croonies to justify this.

There seems to be a theme amongst the left of avoiding the subject and trying to discredit the person instead. I wonder why that is?

We are in negotiations with the eu and negotiations involve making requests. The only cretins are the ones that don't understand this

True, we are making requests, the EU are making requests, but why are Brexit voters so fixated with fishing ?

Poor sod. I didn’t realise brexiters were so soft inside. Maybe you should toughen up a bit.

As far as I know the EU hasn’t asked for brexit to happen so I can’t see why you’re drawing a parallel between the fishing saga and this story.

If you can’t see how cretinous it is to want to treat EU citizens like citizens from the rest of the world and ask to be treated differently in EU airports when your whim has happened, no wonder you lot are regarded as a laughing stock.

As Osborne said this week ‘the Brits always think they’re different from anybody else but of course they aren’t’.

Of course you can ask for anything you want but it may not be superfluous to use your world beating British common sense!

I have no idea, it is such a tiny industry, maybe it is because they are the much larger trading block and have far more clout they can push for the fishing rights , or maybe they are just doing it out of spite because the U.K. have threatened to break international law , you have to remember though , the EU are the evil empire?

Did they dislike EU boats when our fishermen sold their quotas to make a quick buck?

The reason we keep banging on fishing is because it’s pretty much the only card we have on our hands. And yes it is symbolic. I’m sure that people will be delighted to lose their job or see their company move out of the U.K. for two or three red mullets.

Its up to each country in the eu how they treat arivals from the uk next year .Portugal have already said there will be no disruption to uk arivals and im sure countries who rely on holidaymakers will probably do the same if they think it will affect their tourism .

As long as it’s reciprocated by the U.K.? Travelling is the least of your worries if you travel to the EU next year, the fact that your insurance will increase , your flight will be more expensive your phone bill will increase and your pound will be worth less than a euro won’t go down well with the Benidorm Brexit Brigade

"What ever happened to the British fishing industry? Being an island I would have thought it would be a decent size"

Being an island is only part of the equation. What fish do we eat in this country apart from cod, haddock, salmon, trout and mussels?

Britain is not a fish eating country. I live on the coast and there’s no fishmonger within 15 miles of our house. People would rather buy fishfingers at Tesco.

However, go to a France, Italy etc and you’ll see people who know their fish and who eat fish you’ve never seen in this country. Stalls in French supermarkets are the size on aisle for crisps at Sainsbury’s. It’s also why we are twice as fat as them.

So,you know, massive.

Actually I was asking whatever happened to it. Was it always this small. Being an island I'm surprised its not been exploited more"

I don't think it's ever been massive tbh.

I know its quite big in the iom and over on the east coast.. but it's never been a huge industry.

Until now.

"Whats good for the goose is good for the gander...

Arent the eu still asking to fish our waters, etc, etc?

It didn’t take long to find one.

There seems to be a theme amongst the left of avoiding the subject and trying to discredit the person instead. I wonder why that is?

We are in negotiations with the eu and negotiations involve making requests. The only cretins are the ones that don't understand this

Poor sod. I didn’t realise brexiters were so soft inside. Maybe you should toughen up a bit.

As far as I know the EU hasn’t asked for brexit to happen so I can’t see why you’re drawing a parallel between the fishing saga and this story.

As Osborne said this week ‘the Brits always think they’re different from anybody else but of course they aren’t’.

Customs work for the government,they give a toss about what they are told to give a toss about.

Customs don’t give a toss about the tourist industry. If they want to make you wait for three hours to check your passport, they will take the time they want and you’ll have all the time in the world to read the Daily Express in the departure lounge. "
Do you mean arrival lounge? and i think you will find customs are run by governments so yes they will be told "to give a fuck about tourism".If countries like spain,greece italy etc hold uk arrivals up for hours on end the word will get out and more people will just go to turkey,eygypt tunisia etc.You really do believe that these countries are that petty about brexit when in reality its a handful of remainers such as yourself,nobody else gives a fuck.

I have been twice, it was ok, I used the Benidorm example as it has more Brits than any other foreign resort "

Nothing to do with ignorant stereotyping then?

Sounds like it has potential to increase in size though you would not catch me out on one of those trawlers

I choose Benidorm because it is basically Blackpool in Spain, the vast majority of people who holiday there voted for Brexit and they are in for a shock when they book their next trip there after Brexit

Yes it can increase in size, but let’s be honest, you’re also fishing because you know full well why they can’t expand

The same reason they where happy to take in our coronavirus riddled tourists. Whole towns depend on tourist income, just like our fishing towns depend on us reclaiming our fishing industry.

Customs don’t do their job according to the tourism industry. They carry out the checks they need to carry out. Full stop. Maybe you’ve never been stuck in Calais on a day when the French or the British customs have decided to take all their time to do their job for whatever reason. You may miss your ferry but they don’t give a toss.

The bottom line is that if we’re out of the EU, we should be treated in the same way as any other EU citizens. End of. Out is out as your pals would say.
