If you replace all the kids in the picture with fat bald guys called Baz, Trev, or Nige you'd get the modern day equivalent spot on.[emoji6]Quote:

The Welsh Government has slapped down a Westminster plan for school children in Wales to celebrate ‘One Britain One Nation Day’.
"Britain" is only England and Wales. How come we don't get a mention? Ragin. :-)
Not Morrissey’s best tune but I’ll wait to hear it in the context of an album.Quote:

Five years on and can anyone tell me any concrete benefits that have come from Brexit thus far? Must be some apart from getting those blue passports surely...
I guess its a benefit that we have gotten rid of two conservative PMs. Unfortunately we are now landed with an incompetent buffoon who purged the party of any of the sensible voices.Quote:

They're certainly not concrete, but it's all I can really think of as far as Brexit benefits go. :greengrin
Pretty sure the removal of the tariffs happened because the EU and US declared a ceasefire?Quote:

Also, I don’t think the EU roll out is that far behind us now and they have a lot less deaths than we do.

It looks like the tariff issues would have been resolved regardless. :agree:Quote:

The comparison would be actual UK deaths Vs what would have happened in the UK had our vaccine rollout been done with an EU co-procurement strategy.
Again though, we'd not technically have been obligated to join the procurement scheme and could perhaps have had the same rollout regardless - I think.
On comparison with Europe, it can be argued all ways. The current idiots in charge of the UK gave us Brexit, but Brexit also gave us the idiots in charge - the Health Secretary, for example, like the rest of the cabinet, was chosen specifically because he would not query Brexit. No Brexit, no Hancock, fewer deaths.Quote:

Rees-Mogg has already told it'll be 50 years before we see any benefit from Brexit. I'm sure there will be niche business's, banks and individuals who benefit immediately but yer ordinary Tommy Atkins will have to wait for his cheaper "footwear" etc.

We were on our way out by that point, so the decision to join the procurement scheme or not would have been affected by the Brexit decision I would think.Quote:
