Who remembers the outcries of consternation from remainers last week about the EU medicines agency going to the Netherlands, despite everyone knowing the EU insisted upon a move from the UK?

Well, will we see the same outbursts from these remainers following the news today of two big pharma companies creating 1700 new jobs here in the UK do you think? I wonder why the Netherlands hasn't got these new jobs after last weeks crowing. :whistle:

Without Wrexit we could have kept the EU medicines agency AND still got these new jobs as well.

Proving to be a bit of an own goal this whole Wrexit thingy so far.

How old Mutter Merkel is still lauded by EUrophiles I don’t know. Merkel has presided over the biggest political crisis in EU/ European confidence in decades. If this is an example of German ‘leadership’ in Europe than Gawd help us, or thankfully soon ‘Gawd help the them!’

Of course it is.

Over 300,000 new jobs so far.
Record levels of employment.
Exports on the rise and manufacturing with it.
Continued growth in the face of adversity and despite the immediate & severe recession we were promised.
And best of all, officially the UK public are happy and content (apart from Hamish & co. it seems).

I hope there is an election in Ireland and a more sensible approach to Brexit.

Bertie Ahern: Technology partial solution to border issue

Bertie Ahern, the former Taoiseach (PM) of Ireland, has told the Today programme he believes technology can be a partial solution to managing movements across the Irish border after Brexit.
While it would be possible to make it work "in most cases", he questioned its effectiveness when it comes to checking agriculture and smaller goods and says it might result in a "blind eye being turned" on occasion.

Another bit here from Ireland, this about jobs. Are the Irish beginning to realise that the EU will just ignore the impact on their country just to satisfy an EU desire to try and punish the UK?

Irish farmers and businesses involved in the meat trade will be hit more severely by a hard Brexit than the infamous trade war between the European Union and Russia, a new report reveals.

The report, obtained by the Irish Independent, details how at least 32,000 jobs will be lost in the European meat trade if the UK exits the negotiations without a deal.

What desire to punish the UK? How are we being punished?

Not getting to have our cake and eat it isn't a punishment.

The continuance of whining from remainers?


18 years after starting EU/Mercosur trade talks and still it looks like it won't happen, because the French are beefing about agricultural impacts.

Did you deliberately miss the wording re: trying to?

Next, and allowing the EU to do so is fine according to you? Because in case you hadn't noticed, we run quite a trade deficit with the EU.
They really ought to be paying us for access.
