And happy independence day to you too Old Boy.
I look forward to the great levelling up that the Tories have promised us. Now with full powers, no Brussels bureaucracy we can forge ahead and fix the many problems in our country.
There's no European bogey man to hide behind and politicians need to step up and deliver.

Spain has reached a deal with the UK to maintain free movement to and from Gibraltar once the UK formally leaves the EU on Friday.
To avoid a hard border, Gibraltar will join the EU's Schengen zone and follow other EU rules, while remaining a British Overseas Territory.
The deal was announced by Spanish Foreign Minister Arancha González Laya, just hours before the UK exits the EU.

It already exists. It's called the US election thread.

The flood of illegals across the channel will not reduce but at least it'll be easier to chuck the buggers out.

In all seriousness this is one of the key benefits of Brexit for me. Everything passed in Westminster (and Holyrood for that matter) is now on the initiative of our own politicians and not the result of a directive from a foreign bureaucracy.
Our general elections will matter in a way more profound than any in a generation.

Re: Britain outside the EU
I say Good Luck to Brexit and I wish the four nations would get together and make it a success, for the United Kingsdom , but Nicola will do her best to upset the apple cart I expect,
Happy New Year to you all,

It’s the opposite I am afraid. We’re no longer included in the Dublin Agreement;

Re: Britain outside the EU
Yes but there's no blaming the EU for all that goes wrong now. We have sovereignty and there's only one place we can direct our dissatisfaction at. I hope Boris and co are ready?

Unless, of course, they are like Clause 29 in the TCA, which gives the Executive the power to change existing laws without oversight by Parliament...
Executive Democracy rather than Parliamentary Democracy.

Exactly as they own all the consequences now be them good or bad as they cannot blame the boogeyman anymore as the buck stops with them and them only.

Which is exactly how it should be (and should always have been).

Re: Britain outside the EU
Here’s an amusing quirk of the new system:
Quote:
From 1 January you might also need a GB sticker - but it depends on what sort of number plate is on your car.
If it has an EU logo next to the registration number, you will need a sticker.
Plates with GB and a Union flag on them will not require a sticker in most EU countries.
|
So what if your plates have neither, like mine
