BRFR Cake Stop 'breaking news' miscellany

Meanwhile...

Careful - that's a full on attempt by Retch to get people like Andy self-gratifying into their cornflakes.
Remember that Retch isn't interested in news, they are interested in sales and clicks. That's it.

When you start resorting to the Express for news you have given up on life.

Indeed, their agenda is to spark anger not to report it. Trumpet is just being express-curious I expect

I like the smell of desperation in the morning.

If the local elections go badly for Labour, doubt they will be pushing for anything EU related to increasing the population of the British Isles

Closer ties with the EU is now a vote winner. You'd have to be a particular type of idiot to conflate a limited youth mobility scheme with immigration.

The bet was with you, you seemed be disagreeing with my statement that Reform wouldn't be the biggest Party. If you want to chicken out though...?

I was never offering as I'm not sure they will be, but you seemed so sure that they won't be that you should probably head down to William Hill and bet your house on it.

The UK wants a limited system along the lines of the one it offers many other countries. The EU wants an unlimited system much like it has internally. The latter would not please the Brexit fans.

Don't underestimate the number of idiots.

Don't underestimate the number of idiots.

That's what lost you the Brexit vote

Calling the majority opposition idiots 😂

 

[Beebo]

It looks like a mass power outage in Spain and Portugal.
Total blackouts!

Honestly, you can't mention Idiots without one popping up immediately.

The Brexit vote was lost for a number of reasons. That wasn't one of them.
The key reasons were:

• Electoral fraud
• Propaganda and interference from Russia
• Failure to properly define the terms of the referendum
• Lies and scaremongering are far more powerful than truth.

Even then, all it needed was a leader with a backbone to point out that the referendum was a consultation not law, and that there was not a sufficiently decisive vote to warrant making such a vast and stupid move.

But not in the UK, how much more proof do people need that Brexit was great?

Lies and scaremongering? You mean like Osbourne's claims that house prices would crash by 20%, the economy would be pushed into a major recession and over 800,000 jobs would be lost?

Also can you show us your evidence for the alleged electoral fraud? Sounds a bit Trumpian to me....

https://www.london.gov.uk/new-repor...xt=The UK has 1.8m,which Brexit did not occur.

The UK has 1.8 million fewer jobs than if Brexit had not happened. Admittedly Osborne was wrong about house prices and I think we narrowly avoided a recession but the economy was damaged (15% fewer exports and 18% fewer imports in around 2018). It certainly hasn't improved as a result. You will recall that the Covid19 pandemic muddied the waters somewhat. That said, things are not getting better.

Many smaller UK producers have given up exporting small amounts to the EU after facing more rules and regulations, a report by Aston University Business School has found.

Between 2021 and 2023, the study calculated that UK goods exports to the EU were down 27% and imported goods were 32% lower than where they would have been had Brexit not happened.

Also can you show us your evidence for the alleged electoral fraud? Sounds a bit Trumpian to me....

There is no alleged. It was widely reported:

You'd have to be a particular type of idiot

Not the sort of idiot that you can convert by providing facts.
