London protests again

[phild]

I admire your optimism Phil but it's a little early to be talking about a promotion push just yet chap �� .

Regis, I suppose my main point is your continual stating that those who disagree with you are lacking in intelligence. For example 'Get some education Boingy'.
Regarding the protests, well there's so many differing aspects that are cause for conjectur that it's probably better that we leave it at that.

I wouldn’t be slating anybody if they at least were skeptical of their own beliefs or exploring/questioning what is put in front of them. For example, those saying that they’re glad they voted Brexit and seeing exports and imports suffering and the answer being ‘oh we can trade with the rest of the world’ logic, is where there appears to be a lack of education or understanding of trade. This trade matter has been echoed by other posters here not just myself. Some acknowledgment (not needing to agree with me) of these problems would go a long way.

The problem is that when we first joined the Common Market it was a trading association between seven western European countries. We were taken in, we didn't vote, we only voted to remain. The EU is now a different animal of twenty six countries, basically a federal state. I, personally, don't see how this is workable when every single country has to agree especially with such diverse cultures. Yes, I will admit that trade is the biggest cause for concern and I am not very 'savvy' in this field but in my humble opinion it can be sorted out, but only if both parties want to. I'm afraid the the EU only want to punish us. I'll stick my neck out and say that we won't be the last to leave. Could be wrong of course.

When all this over (which i doubt so long as this wretched Government is in place) then we can all get back to where we left off - Climate Emergency. Does anyone seriously believe this is still a thing?

“ Wretched Government” ?

Jeez 🙄

[phild]

I despair at the utter lack of leadership we have Johnson, Williamson, Hancock, Gove, Patel - Some praise for Sunak. The Government appears to be hijacked by SAGE. Suppose I could use woeful or even pathetic. Conservative party, my ass

And that’s why Brexit was the only way unless you are happy being the EU’s “bitch”.I expected problems when we left, and I am sure that once things are sorted we won’t be the only ones leaving. But then, what would I know having been injected with daily mail juice from my birth as an amoeba
