During the Brexit campaign, Brexiteers promised that leaving the EU would be a relatively painless process. Unfortunately, seven years since the referendum, the UK is still struggling with the logistics of leaving the single market, delaying checks between Northern Ireland and Great Britain. In this video, we take a look why these checks are so troublesome, why the government may delay them again, and whether Brexit will ever end.

CORRECTION: In this video, we claim that the checks being delayed (yet again) are only between GB and NI. This isn't quite right: the checks the UK is delaying are SPS checks for all goods going from NI and the rest of the EU into GB. Apologies for the sloppy error - hopefully you still enjoyed the video!
I think that it just proves that Brexit awareness is not very high among the British
(edit) I would rather say "from NI and -the rest of- the EU" Just to not trigger the british empire
You could put an annotation on that part of the video, so people could see when watching video.
Funny how you never put these errors in a video though, along with the EU's actions to delay wastable produce.
You've always done well pointing out the UK governments appalling decisions so it's quite the double standard when not highlighting the Laws the EU have broken Edit: For a 'non-bias' news outlet
That why it is worth considering going to Brilliant, to avoid deception 😜 😜

I work for a transport company and these checks being delayed over and over again has been so frustrating and ridiculous. The EU has had them in place from day 1!
What has even been the point of this whole thing??? God knows.
I think they know its going to increase costs and just hope labour have to implement them so they can blame them.
What would you say working in the industry ?
Woult it be better implementing those checks and having problems in the beginning
Or is it better delaying those checks again and again ?
Just proves how it was never thought out.
I feel sorry ( I voted remain) for transport people like you
I work in the industry too
The best thing would be to stop talking bollocks about divergence and allign with EU rules- thus making excessive checks and documentation obsolete.
For exporting it is right now as follows
No groupage truck will touch a pallet with a POAO (product of animal origin)- so you either need to ship whole truck or send a dedicated vehicle. Any SME is pretty much f***ed. the shipment needs to be signed off be a vet- who signs health certificate. After crossing the border this is checked. Obviously you pay for for all of this.
If they introduced this on import, we would have empty shelves. It’s stupid, because it doesn’t require us to rejoin EU or even SM/CU- we just need an agreement which would set in stone non divergence.
Diverging rules is not a Brexit freedom. It’s an additional cost for EVERYONE.
Thank god they already scrapped another idiocy- UKCA…
@@blablup1214 it’s like taking off a band-aid really. I don’t think realistically any systems were in place to properly administer anything so it was actually impossible to implement them earlier. However the constant feeling of impending doom for a horrible few months in my life is not great. For when the changes are finally implemented.
The crazy thing is, to reduce the impact of the checks from the EU, the UK will actually relax checks on ALL other countries. So now we are even less regulated in general just because of how vital our EU trade is

@@Buckets1000The funny thing is that the Ulster plantation wasn't even the problem. Even after the plantation, Ulster was a hotbed of agitation for independence. What changed was that, in the aftermath of the 1798 Rebellion, the British government started supporting sectarian organisations, such as the Orange Order, in Ulster amongst Presbyterians to drive a wedge between communities there. Up until then, *Cork*, if you can believe it, was one of the main centres of Orange Order membership.
But it would make a difference to Ireland.@@JohnR31415
@@Buckets1000 You appear to have not understood what I wrote. May I remind you that the whole island was under British rule to some degree or another. Also, the plantation of Ulster affected the _whole_ province, not just those now consisting NI. The bits in NI are just those they thought they could hold on to after the War of Independence, but a combination of demographics and their own stupidity have proven that increasingly incorrect.
Now, if you want to get into a pity party about who had the Brits do the worst things to them, we can. Would that be even remotely useful? No.
My point is that those settlers in Ulster had mostly gone native by the late 1700s, and all of Ulster would likely be in the Republic if it hadn't been for the purposeful stoking of sectarianism.
But if you'd rather focus on the wrong thing, that's your choice.

those checks are worth billions, that's why the eu had them in place asap, the uk is tossing away billions by not carrying out checks. there are no systems, facilities or staff ready to carry out those checks either. and the uk simply can't survive without imports from the eu, they cant afford delays in imports. if they finaly decide to carry out checks, the systems HAVE to be reliable, efficient and fast.
Without import rules, the export to the EU is bound to be affected as Britain has no standards anymore.
@@BikeeMikeeAnd at some point China, US and others will sue uk for favoring EU. That will get VERY expensive.
Brexit has ended for the rest of Europe. It is pretty much only in the news when there is a fight in the EU where the UK would have made a difference. Thus, the UK's traditional allies in the EU have less power and the UK ends up having to live with the result of that too. Thus, there are both direct losses and indirect losses for the UK.
See none of that kind of thing was ever on UK news
What the EU did , what other EU members did , didn't do, wanted or didn't want was ever really on UK news . It was never really thought or talked about by Brits themselves either.
British media is always Britain and it's relationship to America , Australia, Canada.
European countries were never on that lvl of attention.
It's always Anglosphere tiar 1 everyone else equal tier 2 not really thought about.

Dont you people ever give up ? go Google Ecipe and compare the EU with the USA over the last 20 years, the figures are devastatingly bad. The EU has been a complete disaster for the people of Europe, it is in decline on every economic metric available. The people in the poorest States in the US get paid more than the French. They also pay much less tax. Only a complete fool would want to have anything to do with the EU.
Yep, this is a primary things Brexiteers forget/don't understand. The UK was the largest anti-federalist power in the EU, and the one blocking/mitigating most attempts to unify on a myriad of issues. By leaving the EU the UK have directly caused the EU members UK used to battle on these issues to gain tremendous strength and allowed them to, more or less, take control of EU foreign policy, this indirectly creates a stronger EU block as the biggest members left at the table aren't as divided as before and now the UK has to STILL sit across from those old adversaries at the negotiating table and the UK has thrown away most of strength, power and tools it used to have during those talks with Brexit.
In short, even if you are a staunch anti-EU person then Brexit will still have gone against your goals if those goals were in any way sane, because Brexit destroyed most of the tools and leverage the UK had against a supposed EU threat or problem.
Yep. For the past 200 years UK policy with regards to the continent has been about ensuring UK influence to ensure that the continent wouldn't gang up on the UK. Then David Cameron and Nigel Farage came around.
...and monumental gains that subsumes and surpasses them
This Brexit saga keeps running and becoming ever more interesting and hilarious. A good comedy show watching from the EU (even though, quite frustrating to try and make deals all the time with a country that doesn't know what its stance is and what it wants and how to do it)

The UK is out of the European Union. Didn't you know?
The thing is, this constant delaying hurts pretty much exclusively UK companies who have to spend a good chunk of money every time the checks come close so they are prepared just in case they actually are implemented. EU companies have, except for the biggest ones, just stopped bothering and are waiting while selling to literally everyone else.
Foodsecurity ac_uk 2022: "The UK is not self-sufficient in food production; it imports 48% of the total food consumed and the proportion is rising." Brexiters: "We don"t care! Pacific Partnership is signed, we will import lettuces from Singapore, tomatoes from Japan, and export haggis to Brunei!"

The moment Brexit happened was the moment Scotland and NI forfeited their right to another referendum. Westminster knows that at this point both would be overwhelmingly in favour of leaving the UK, especially after all the recent other disasters. The large reason for the Scottish referendum failing in 2014 was because the EU made Scottish membership seem unlikely if they left. With Brexit the situation shifted completely and the parliament knows this, at this point, anything short of violent mobs storming the streets is bound to end in failure when trying to convince the Tories to host another referendum.
@@patrickwitek There is no "forfit". It was said before the 2016 referendum that if Scotland is to be put through "martial change". IE dragged out of the EU against its will that they reserved the right to hold another referendum.

A few weeks ago in Dublin I went into an Iceland which surprisingly had no frozen food, presumably making it "Land".

I suggested that it should go to a food charity but apparently this was also unacceptable. Not long after, Iceland closed down here in the Republic, presumably for good. Bummer.

Who says it can't, other than the propaganda machine that has indoctrinated you?
The incompetence of the Tories is legendary. They seem to want power just to prevent others from attaining it. But in terms of proper governance the results speak for themselves.
Talking about border controls they are critical for the UK for two main things, among many others:
1. Food security. The amount of garbage been dumped now in the UK is at record high. It’s no hard to imagine some of it is getting in the food supply chain
2. There is absolutely no bargaining chip vis a vis the EU without controls. If their imports are getting without any friction with what exactly the UK can negotiate back with the EU?
Yes controls will be inflationary (to add further offence to injury) but if you ask me health is the most precious thing a human can have. Inflation come and pass but one can die from a bad food poisoning or a fake medication
Absolutely agree! It worries me how permeable the border of the Single Market & UK is for sub standards food products atm. Where the hell is the technical unicorn solution that Tories constantly liked to boast?
I am not so sure its a bug that they dont govern well, it might be a feature, they do it on purpose to prove that big government are ineffecient and wasteful.

Brexit was clearly a bad idea when it was proposed. The politicians that backed it just wanted points with their base but never expected it to go through as seen by many of them immediately resigning after it passed. As an American, I feel the pain and frustration of your leaders lying to you for selfish reasons and then suffering ZERO consequences. When the rich and powerful deceive it seems the common person is always the one to pay for it.
If anything it shows one of the biggest flaws with allowing common people to make decisions. As Churchill said "the best argument against democracy is a 5 minute conversation with the average voter" and he's absolutely right. Most people don't learn anything regarding politics and their knowledge comes from heavily biased sources and hear-say within their social circles. It's so easy to fall into a herd mentality and dismiss criticism because everyone around you does so as well.
It's not the politicians fault for manipulating the common man, it's the people for putting in zero effort and choosing to dismiss warnings made by professionals in favour of heard mentality and propaganda. If you choose a random doctor to operate on you just cause he told you he'll do a good job, it's his fault for deceiving you but also your fault for not putting in any thought into that decision.
Learning about politics can't even be made into a mandatory subject in schools because that opens the door for even more effective brainwashing which schools already have a lot of. Brexit is basically a lite re-telling of how Nazi's were able to quickly fanaticize the German population, though right now I see it happening all around the world which is terrifying.

Brexit can't end, it's literally the UK being outside the EU. This means negotiating agreements with the EU for everything, modify those agreements and ditch them when no longer useful. The only way Brexit can be done is with the UK joining the EU, and that's not going to happen.
It is the norm in international relations that before agreements are ditched they are usually implemented first.
Full Brexit will hurt British economy? Who could have predicted that?
World beating incompetence
The exact type of politician to support Brexit is the exact type of politician who doesn't know the intricacies of trade or lack the competence to build a system to handle the outcomes of Brexit.
Any politician who had the good of the UK at heart, even a Eurosceptic would balk at the realities of a Brexit (outside a situation where the EU chased the UK out). If you fully implement Brexit, there'd be a trade hit, if you made it too soft, it would be harmful and pointless.
Only incompetent or lying politicians would have taken it this far in peacetime. I understand why some Brits don't want to accept this, but it seems more and more people are seeing through the lies.
This is before considering the complex issues of the NI/ Irish border.
Any politician worth his salt who truly wanted Brexit truly wanted border checks. Why have they then not prepared for it? Even the EU who didn't want it were ready for it years ago. Again the answer is incompetence or deceit.
Its pretty clear that the Tories plan to leave it for Labour to sort out, that way Labour will get the blame for the shortages and price increases, as well as the fact that all these checks are going to cost the government a lot of money. The Tories really don't want to admit that Brexit and its border restrictions are way more expensive than the single market.
Having border with UE would increse Export because of check ?! 😮
Who can have predict that ??
A self impose hardship. Smart move.
Not a word then on the UK govt reneging on two international contracts signed by it and the EU. Are the EU finally going to impose countermeasures like extra duties or banning certain imports from the UK ?
Project Fear! I don’t know what you’re all complaining about. We’re spending £350m every day on the NHS, it’s never been better!
It is very rare, but for once TLDR is mistaken. The delay check have nothing to do with N.I. They concern SPS check from food coming from the EU to Great Britain. That's why, implementing them would have an impact on food price in Great Britain.
They have nothing to do with the protocol or the windsor framework and the EU could not care less if the UK decide to scrap them all together or implement them in full.
For information, the SPS check on food going from GB to the EU have been implemented on day 1 of Brexit, which pissed off british exporters.
Not really. "The EU side of SPS was implemented on day 1" is only true if you do not think the Republic of Ireland is part of the EU. Given that there is no border on the island of Ireland, SPS checks for goods flowing from NI to the Republic cannot be SPS checked between those too entities. The UK has undertaken to do this between NI and GB, which is not being implemented together with all SPS checks for EU exports to the UK. The EU in theory cares that SPS both ways should be implemented, but in practice at least must care that UK exports to the EU should be SPS checked.
@@tt-ew7rx the case of check between GB and the republic of Ireland thought NI are a different subject. And the most complex. My point is that the recent delays does not concerns NI and Ireland, which is covered by the Windsor framework.
@@Bb13190 You are right - the UK has not said they will delay the Windsor framework. What's the betting though that they will?
As long as there are swivel-eyed loons, particularly in the Con's party and many of the electorate, Brexit will NEVER end.
Re-negotiation of international agreements never end, do they?
This isn't Brexit, this is and always has been the case.
Yet further unilateral suspension of checks puts food supplies in neighbouring Ireland at risk. Most British think they have high food standards, and on paper they do, but by not enforcing them they have no standards at all.
The Evening Standard ran an interesting article titled "Maggot-ridden meat among illegal products seized by officials in Dover crackdown".
It read like a horror story, where over a 24 hour period 22 trucks were checked and 21 were found to contain food seriously unfit for human consumption.
"They searched 22 vehicles from Romanian, Moldovan, Ukraine and Poland with illegal meat imports found in 21.
Inspectors discovered raw animal products stashed in carrier bags and tissue without temperature control, refrigeration or labels.
The items were not separated from products such as cheese, crisps and cake.
Other foods were found in holdalls, cardboard boxes or cool boxes, to be sold at markets and independent stores across Britain.
In one case raw, unlabelled, loosely-wrapped pork had been placed in the bottom of a taped-up wheelie bin filled with other products intended for free circulation in the UK."
Remember, as that spreads across the UK unchecked, it can pass into Ireland because the UK seems incapable of controlling their borders. If not having checks was an anti-inflationary measure then every country would be doing it as we are all trying to combat inflation. Don't swallow that excuse, it's spin to hide the fact that Britain isn't ready for its own Brexit and seems to be unable to cope with the unenviable position it has put itself in with Brexit.
The EU can't turn a blind eye indefinitely, because that unchecked UK stuff will eventually find it's way into Ireland and the EU mainland. The EU has been very soft on this issue for the sake of peace in Ireland. I think they are hoping for some sanity when Labour gets in.
@blueodum under the WTO rules, the UK has an obligation to impliment border checks, they aren't. It has been agreed how the checks would work between GB and NI, impliment that agreement.
According to Boris Johnson, Northern Ireland is part of the European market and not part of the English market.
That means England has to carry out customs controls. That is what has been agreed with the EU.
Gibraltar is also still in the European market and is doing well with it.
If England does not carry out the checks, then the EU will have to start infringement proceedings.
Then there must be penal measures because international law is being broken.
When Ireland is united, Brexit will be done.
Can you please produce a video regarding the current position of Brexit‘s former biggest proponents now proclaim? What are Farange, Jacob Rees Mog and similar figures saying now?
Good business
@@noelfleming3567 keeping the very bad economic data of Britain as well as their nationalism in mind, I doubt it
"15% year-on-year for the past few months."
If it hasn't even happened between years, year on year is an inappropriate metric. It's misleading.
Mr Sunak, I talk to you about this subject next week.
People didnt accept the results of the first one in 1975, Give it 30-40 years and well have a 3rd vote.
Says who?
The vote in 1973 had over 68% support for the EEC
What happened was the constant lying about the EU from British politicians: London fought constantly against the political dimension of the EEC/EU (as stated in the founding treaty of Rome) as it wanted a strictly economic space where to establish its domination. Britons were never educated about the EU, its origins, its goals, its values: over the decades, it was the constant scapegoat of unpopular national policies.
Britain was particularly receptive to this kind of deception thanks to its exceptionalism: the national narrative and a certain historic revisionism fuelled a nationalist arrogance that was at odds with the developing sense of unity and solidarity being built among the other members.
With a little push from Moscow, brexit became a reality. Funny how similar events took place in both sides of the pond at exactly the same time: the US got a Manchurian candidate as president, openly sold to putin, with republikkkans going as far as supporting Moscow against their own country. In UK, the Russian inquiry got burrowed deep, oligarchs were made Lords and corruption was the new standard.
Claiming that the 1973 result had never been accepted, with a support of almost 3/4 of the electorate, is disingenuous at best, dumb more likely: if so, what of a vote that barely got 51.8%? That was the kind of result that fartage and co had announced they would contest and fight, had it been against them.
Being the true hypocritical liars they are, they went about claiming it was a democratic result afterwards.
Britons are sheep: too used to get controlled by a king (and his government) that comforts them in their exceptionalism.
Hey guys…
I don’t think Brexit was a good idea…? 🤷♀️
Fytosanitary checks also include farm stuff people may not think about. I work in the flower bulbs business, and we also face vague rules and changing requirements for exporting to the uk.
You would think an island that hasn’t produced enough food to feed itself for two centuries might’ve considered something like this?
There's always going to be something, right? Covid, Ukraine, inflation... next year it'll be the rain, or bullfrogs singing, or Nessy...
Hopefully Nessie, Scotland would have an even better tourist industry then… 😂
Leave voters, when does it start getting good?
no good asking them, the referendum was seven years ago and the poor ol‘ codgers can’t remember that far back.
Dammit! I thought you'd been answered…
Because they couldn't organize a piss-up in a brewery... no more beer and no one to serve it. :D
To be fair, the effects of delaying these checks will be very minor up until the point that someone in the UK decides the best way to fight food inflation costs is to slash safety standards. So you probably got another 5 or so years.
Wrong. Terrible effects. Every garbage can enter the Uk without any checks now if it transits via Eu ports. China products unloaded in Rotterdam and reloader for UK won't be checked by Holland. It was checked when you where in the EU ( entry point system), Spain or Portugal checked african imports for you, Belgium and Holland asian products, etc. Now, it's not their task anymore if the final destination is Uk. It's your business. Problem is : every criminals or dishonest company in the world know it. The few random checks done by Uk customs recently show the magnitude of that crazyness.
@@HelenLemink Huh. Good point, and I stand corrected. I had only considered the EU to UK border from the perspective of goods of EU origins. But yeah, you're right.
Consider this my point withdrawn.
“Brexit” in the sense of “the UK leaving the organs of the European Union” is done. We’ve left the Single Market. We have no political representation in the lawmaking bodies of the EU. “Brexit” in the sense of “a final state of EU-UK relations” will never be done. EU laws will change, as will UK laws. Any deviation from Single Market standards will invariably need renegotiation, which will open up debates on whether we want to accept EU standards or not. So the old Brexit wounds will never truly heal. So in answer to your video’s question - No, Brexit will never be over
"any deveation from Single market standards will invariably need renegotiation".
Not at all, any deveation will mean exclusion of UK produce from the SM.
I don't know where you brits get the impression from that not abiding by the rules will mean you get the chance to get at the negotiation table to try and get what you want. Have you ever heard of the EU negotiating with any 3rd country when it did not abide by SM standards? Neither have I, simply because the goods will be returned to sender at the EU border.
@@ab-ym3bf “Have you ever heard of the EU negotiating with any third country when it did not meet SM standards”
Actually, yes - The EU and Switzerland regularly renegotiate their framework agreements, particularly in relation to financial services.
However, looking at the UK specifically- the Windsor Framework recognises the particular political sensitivities of the Island of Ireland and is an attempt to balance this with the need to respect the integrity of both the UK internal market and EU single market. The negotiated “green lane” and “red lane” agreements currently work on present day EU & UK standards so, if nothing else, the Windsor Framework would need to be revisited in the event of significant divergence.
I agree, this would not be a total renegotiation of our relationship with the EU, but would be comparable to the Swiss situation
Delayed again? You could think the tories are hoping labour will sort it out for them when they get in. 😂😂
Interesting that the UK government thinks that the Inflation shock will be so hard that they can't hide it in the already high numbers. They did the same thing with the wider economic shock and covid. If they would expect just 5% for food inflation they wouldn't bother.
Has the UK government ever met a deadline?
No.
Unless *WE* in the EU🇪🇺 permit you to join a 2nd time.
Unlikely for half a century since you fail to meet 50% of the accession criteria.
And because we 🇪🇺 apparently are better off without you.
And because many an EU member profits from Brexit.
And because you'd need unanimous consent without even one single veto.
Ask nicely again in 50 years or so and we 🇪🇺 shall see.
Greetings from the EU 🇪🇺
Yes as a european a country that cant stick with international agreements and has human rights violations isnt welcome to join.
For every year they delay the checks it will be another decade before they could rejoin.
We could let Scotland and NI join: little England could be left enjoying "global whatever" in splendid isolation
@@fredplat467 Agreed.
Sad to see this narrow-minded bigotry coming from a Europhile :(
Brussels has treated Britain worse for brexit than Russia for invading Ukraine.
Irish Reunification Peacefully and Democratically Solves Brexit Give Ireland Back to the Irish Sir Paul McCartney Liverpool Irish
The world now sees Britain for what it truly is....
Looks like Britain realised it could no longer invade, colonise and partition other countries so it decided to do to itself that it has done to other nations.
This act of self harm was based on delusional notions of grandeur and exceptionalism.
PS: Britain you are not special! Enjoy being a third country rule taker 😉
Perhaps you should do a course on issuing corrections
such in a hurry to leave the EU that they did not prepare anything for the aftermath. they genuinely thought everything will stay the same, only that Brussels will no longer dictate stuff to them. wow, how naïve.
It will end…. When we rejoin.
No thanks
Well that's definitely not happening within the next century or so.
True.
Then the question is, wether or not the people, who the English like to call "EU dirty rats", "cockroaches" and "Nazi's" want the toxic English in their club.
@@Connie_TinuityError oh it will
I thought it was all Sanitary check from EU to GB got delayed not just NI?
Can I decide to unilaterally not pay tax, even if that is illegal, because of Ukraine and that it could affect the cost of living?
If HMRC want to prosecute me, I will happily enter negotiations which will go nowhere.
Remember I’m only delaying paying tax for six months, and then extending that every six months.
I predicted in 2016 that it would take the British another 50 years to get this out of their system.
That quickly eh? 🙂
Taking back contro...hahahaha Nope couldn't finish that.
The UK is such a joke at this point!
never since winnie the pooh got his ass stuck in a rabbit hole has an "exit" been more prolonged and disgraceful.
Not an expert, but doesn‘t the uncertainty in constantly amending and delaying the checks hurt the producers and exporters of goods? Who wants to invest in that sector? Brexit truly is a disastrous humiliation
F-cking madness.
I’m a Scotsman get me out of here.!
Someone call the WTO already.
brexis is the equivalent of a limbo; getting stuck in an airport waiting queue forever.
Because those import don't affect the good people of London more than they affect the exports to Ireland?
STOP PRESS: The AfD in Germany have since yesterday described the EU as a "failed project". What is the point of all this remoaning?
The government blames the EU when it is up to the British Government's responsibility to prepare as they have foolishly left the single market to fulfill their commitments as a sovereign state. Who is so idiotic as to advocate a hard exit from the EU without preparing for what it means. They thought they would be smart and easily negotiate a favorable agreement, but they forget that England is no longer a colonial power and that the domestic economy is as big as the Polish one, but with lower growth and higher inflation, which has left them without an agreement with the EU but soon an agreement with India. Although the biggest concern according to rumors is that the majority of the foreign-owned car manufacturing industry has already started far-reaching plans for relocation to the EU's internal market, which will negatively affect both growth and inflation but above all increase unemployment.
Two words come to mind, "Brewery" and "Pissup". I wonder why?
easy to answer with a single word...
incompetence!
is UK obliged under the eu law to implement import checks except what has been agreed in NI?
It's obliged under international law to not preference any country in checks unless by explicit trade treaty terms, as the UK is currently doing with EU goods.
Also it's just a catastrophically bad idea to not have border checks as it gives free reign to smuggling, animal diseases, unsafe produce, (actual) illegal immigration, unsafe produce, etc.
@@raggedcritical thanks for the reply!
Putting border across irish sea is also against good friday agreement. Good friday agreement is between the UK and Ireland, not with the EU.
No it isn't. That nonsense has been tested in the UK Supreme Court and the case was thrown out. The sea border is legitimate under UK law.
The border has to go somewhere and it can't be on the island of Ireland, a point of which Britain has been reminded of time and time again.
European CE marking validity in UK was extended indefinitely
Unify Ireland under one government. Both Great Britain and Ireland will be stronger as a result.
Edit: I guess this has problems with access to the west coast. The division between Northern Ireland and Ireland is the natural compromise for that.
That is so much ACTIVELY HARMFUL work. Its harm is two-fold: 1) the "solutions" are worse than just being in the single market, and 2) all this time should have been spent towards solving ACTUAL problems-not those created in the dumbest geopolitical move of this century.
This is literally joke from "Yes, minister!" series. There was joke about British sausage that was obstacle to joining EU
NeverEnding Story: Brexit
I didn't realize "oven ready" meant "maybe ready in a few years"
My dad is saying it's always been a long term thing… 😂
Welcome Brits to NAFTA 2. We look forward to working with you here in the US.
Be careful: The wall you build to keep others out can also be used to hold you in.
It must be really easy to smuggle things into the UK right now with the fuck all checks that we’re doing.
This is just… stupid.
We cannot admit we were wrong, apparently, and so we constantly go through this same internal loop to create a consistent narrative.
Brexit is interesting because it is both an event but also a process.
The event part is easy enough to explain - the UK left the EU in 2020, but the process is more intricate. The UK and the EU has to figure out what kind of relationship they want to have, and implement it, the UK has to figure out what kind of relationship it wants with the rest of the world, and implement it. Neither the EU nor the UK stands still, and the EU is too large to ignore or put on the back-burner for the UK (as much as some of them might wish) so the debates and talks will never stop. Of course, as time goes by this will become the new normal so Brexit will fade, just as other drastic changes in political affiliation does, but it effects will still linger.
Brexiteers promised leaving the EU would be a swift and painless process.
But, fun fact:
NO.
And I thought the "Carry on ......" movies were funny. Brexit saga continues to be seen as the follow on series. Well done Britain.
Anyone know why it is upto the uk to put up a border? Why doesn't Ireland put it up?
