EU & Brexit Bunker

[CXRAndy]

My word, you have done a lot of European Travel since Brexit.

I have done no travelling since Covid

So all of your European travel was before Brexit?

He doesn't need to travel now cos patriotism... (well except to the USA to wear his stars and stripes undies)

Yes, it way before the idea popped into Cameron's little head. So it was no reason why or did not travel into Europe.

Similar for travelling to the States or Australia. We filled the forms out, submitted and awaited approval.

Just the same level of inconvenience like travelling into Switzerland.

Nice attempt at deflection.

To answer (as I’ve already crossed ATFQ on my Stevo bingo card). Less effective than when we were in the EU and we had stronger agreements in place which was my original point when you thought I wouldn’t find evidence of your complaints about the French police.

This was the original post:

You’re always whining about the lack of effort by the French in stopping immigrants travelling to the UK which is a byproduct of Brexit. Bloody Remoaner

And my reply: "Feel free to quote me..."

You then quote me saying something mildly positive about the French, ie. That they have agreed to help a bit more:
"At least we have now got the French to do what they agreed and intercept small boats in the water on their side of the channel."

So either you don't understand the point or are quoting something that says the opposite of what you claim and hoping that nobody notices. Which one is it?

No smartarse gold star for you today.

Depends on your style of travel I suppose. Whilst working, we were only doing about 4 weeks at a time, once retired, we were going for upto 6 months at a time, no pre-planned route, no pre-booking, no paperwork needed, no borders. no concerns about 90 day rolling window. As EU citizens, we even got some of the local "freebies" in Hungary and Italy.

Bah, facts, we hates facts, the bloody things won't let us have unicorns.

We had between 2 and 6 week trips into Europe. It never bothered me- borders. Paying for vignettes etc.

I always thought what a stupid idea, that anyone can move from one country to another with no checks, the EU project was trying to emulate the United States. Except each country wants to be individual in culture, language.

It created issues of youth migration away from poorer performing countries to the better ones. Which just exacerbated the problems.

Then the EC trying to impose collective policies that some countries dont want.

That quote clearly implies you previously felt they weren’t doing what they should be doing (and were doing pre-Brexit). You haven’t got much of a career as a defence barrister ahead of you.

Good attempt to deflect from you getting the wrong end of the stick.

Well, maybe it was a Brexit Benefit for someone... not sure who though.

Probably the farmer. It's a bit like the Brexit benefits for Ben Houchen's mates who have made hundreds of millions from his freeport, made possible due to Brexit.

I'm not sure that's how Brexit benefits are meant to work though.

It is if you are Ben Houchen and his mates 😉

Can I predict housing planning, followed by NIMBYs?

Particularly during and after covid, the UK seemed to be on the brink of sliding into gangster economy mode. There are still elements of that today.
