The bureaucratic red-tape ones, I’m guessing…
Just giving the non-specific generalised answer in advance.

By my definition, the last sentence makes you a Brexiter. Mick may choose to disagree of course. And it's not a term of criticism, it's a term of classification.
Unfortunately for you Pierre, the gravity of trade will always tie us into the EU. Leaving the EU won't stop the debate on our optimum relationship with the bloc. As we've seen this weekend, few would agree we have the optimum relationship right now.

That's the exact reason I voted remain and you can call it gloating but for me there is no joy in it, I just want the people who made promises held accountable when they're exposed as bs, you know like how a proper democracy works

Yeah the ones that protect people from all sorts of nastiness, like dumping raw sewage in the waterways, that's the brexit dividend, the wealthy and unscrupulous taking full advantage of their bought and paid for stooges

I'm sure he could have saved himself the hassle and got his seafood from Scotland, and champagne from his local booze shop, the sausage/salami could also have been bought in the UK, but tough luck, eh. lol

If I want to go to France, I'll find a suitable way.
The Guvmin's Remain campaign made no mention of the travel rules that would be consequential on leaving the EU. The 52% would have known that anyway - why do we have passports? We needed them to travel to the EU anyway.
So Calder is right - I just hope he isn't a whingeing Remainer.
