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.

I got a warning from Facebook for making a similar comparison this morning. I did add the words "Ein Volk, ein Reich und ein Führer" mind you.

"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.

Very powerful stuff, unfortunately only if you're capable of understanding what it's really trying to say. That will be lost on those who need to understand it most.

Five years ago today the Brexit referendum ended up a victory for the Leavers.

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.

Some chat about reinstating all those imperial weights and measures?

Farthings and half crowns next?

Super opportunity to eat food produced to lower standards than we have previously enjoyed and Bozo wants to buy the Queen a boat?

Some of us might be getting a new extra British song?

Farage returned to being a nonentity, that's pretty concrete.

Surely that's a wind up?

They'll be a bit hard to come by!

I think there's a reasonable chance we'd have been part of the EU procurement scheme for the vaccine and ended up in a worse position there accordingly. Although that could have went either way depending on the government of the day and how they felt about cooperation with the EU.

I'm also not sure if the relaxation of whisky tariffs with the US would still have happened had we been in the EU - tariffs applied by the US in retaliation to EU's illegal support of Airbus.

They're certainly not concrete, but it's all I can really think of as far as Brexit benefits go.

Pretty sure the removal of the tariffs happened because the EU and US declared a ceasefire?

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.

It makes sense they'd catch up, but we still went out faster and earlier which will have saved lives over the time period. Less deaths in the EU isn't relevant I would say, as there's other contributing factors and the comparison isn't dependant on UK vaccine programme. 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.

Maybe.

Just talking about the vaccine though.

The vaccine was sorted out while we were still linked to the EU though, there was nothing stopping other countries doing similar. So can't really be listed as a Brexit dividend, regardless of that the UK procurement went really well and I bet the other European countries wish they did more of it themselves (Poland used Russian vaccines for example)

On the other hand, The Independent has this on BREXIT!

Me too. Had to take a photo down. WTF?

No context to what I was saying. Just I broke the rules.

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.

Absolutely, but it cant really be used as a Brexit dividend if we could have done it regardless.
