We can now pump as much human sh*t onto our beaches, rivers and sea as our hearts (and bowels) desire. Take that, Brussels!

"Get over it" is literally what teenage children say to the adults in the room.

It's petty, dismissive, immature, irresponsible and completely lacking in any constructive points whatsoever. It's the argument from a stroppy teenager that cannot handle the task of explaining their decision.

"If you're talking about the EU you might want to check on that statement again Mac. I know the EU likes to promote harmony, but check your sources on that. From what I'm reading it's all arguments and discord."

Because what we have here in the UK is working is it? Crisis after crisis after crisis.

Absolutely deluded.

"the United Kingdom was fed up with being a vassal state"

We were a big part of the largest economic and trading bloc on the planet. Now, we are alone and surrounded by countries that are all working together towards a common purpose, while we struggle to do anything.

I hate to break it to you, but it isn't 1822, it's 2022. We aren't an empire anymore, we are a small island that doesn't produce much and relies extremely heavily on our European partners. We live in a interconnected global economy, and you small-minded, arrogant people decided to severe links with all of it. What did you expect would happen?!

That said, I do relate to being forcibly stuck to a government that has absolutely none of your interests in mind.

"One day machiismo when you have a few more years under your belt and you learn to think for yourself it will all become clear to you."

Oh believe me, I do my thinking for myself. I love Europe and I love my European friends and family. I don't base insane, country destroying decisions on nonsense from fringe lunatics like Nigel Farage living in a different century. I don't live in the past, maybe I do need a few more years under my belt after all..

This just in, laws use complicated language!

What a great reason to leave the largest trading bloc on the planet right on our doorstep, it's because the laws are too difficult for right-wingers to comprehend.

I guess on balance you're right, I'd rather have our beaches and see pumped full of human sh*t than have to read complicated regulation.

Answer me this, why is the UK the only G7 nation whose economy is smaller now than it was before covid? Every other economy in the G7 has grown since 2019. We are the only one that has shrunk, and we are staring down the barrel of two more years of shrinking.

No one blames Brexit for everything, nor are the Tories to blame for it all. But the clear and obvious culprits are a mixture of both. The denial of the average Tory voter/Brexiteer is breathtaking in its brazenness.

Anyone with eyes can see the damage Brexit is doing. Anyone with eyes can see the damage the Tory party is doing. Trussonomics alone has cost us a reported £30B in a matter of weeks!

It's completely delusional to sit around while the country falls apart at the seems, and act as though the responsibility doesn't lie with the two biggest things affecting the economy.

It's just cowardice from Tory and Brexit voters that are unable to take any responsibility for the disasterous things they vote for.

"Amazing, having conned the electorate into the benefits of Brexit , they want more Farage. There are some stupid, stupid people out there."

Look no further than the moronic right-wingers on this board. Still on complete denial about Brexit six years on, despite the economy totally sh*tting the bed and not keeping up with any of the other G7.

I'd love to know a single thing Nigel Farage has ever achieved, other than gaining an EU passport of course...

I will continue to hold because no point selling at such alss now, but my advice to anyone thinning of buying this share is simple: don't.

Absolutely nothing has happened for years and it looks like nothing will happen going forward. Park your money somewhere safe. This is a dud...sadly.

"[Gold rising] may likely be a indication of Russia about to use tactical Nuclear weapons"

One can only hope that is true if nothing else but to get away from such stupid statements like the one above. *slaps forehead*

Strong and stable government.

Just stop. Please.

I don't know what I find more infuriating, the fact that over 50% of this country voted for Brexit or the fact that people still support it.

We're over half a decade down the line and it's been one clusterf*ck after another. There are zero, ZERO benefits to speak of, and these people are still stuck with their head in the sand.

Epro, I'm not saying I believe in crypto solving all the world's problems. Literally every point you made is something I'm neither arguing against or advocating for. You're just shadowboxing for some reason.

All I'm saying that calling it "not reliable" when it comes to traceability is just wrong. The core feature many blockchains offer is traceability.

That's literally all I'm saying, so no idea why you are going off on a big rant about loads of other stuff.

More power to anyone that wants to invest in it, I just think it's largely valueless. There are a tiny number of coins that actually are useful and have a viable product, yet there is rampant speculation from people that have no idea what any of it is.

Dogecoin would be a prime example. It was created as a joke, has an infinite supply (i.e. has no value), yet increased 1000x on the back of people like Elon Musk talking about it. It's insanity.

"One is reliable traceability and audit trails. The second is throughtput and scaleability. Blockchain is the antithesis of both."

Err no, the whole point of the blockchain is that it is traceable. The key feature of bitcoin was that it has an immutable ledger that contains every transaction that has ever happened using it and that is true of most coins - other than explicitly privacy focussed ones such as monero. Saying it isn't traceable is just incorrect. Basically every modern use case for crypto in a commercial setting is founded upon this principle of it being traceable. That is literally the whole point of why it is used in supply chain in the first place.

There are also plenty cryptocurrencies that are scalable and aiming for the same transactional speeds as Visa/Mastercard etc, but the tech is in the fairly early days in the grand scheme of things.

That said, I think most cryptocurrency IS a load of crap, but the technology is valuable and useful and is already used in a lot of applications. As a speculative investment however it is bonkers.

From the FT today, "Britons now have the worst access to healthcare in Europe"

So glad we have that promised £350 million per week for the NHS though! Thanks Brexit!

Very interesting video from the Financial Times YouTube channel about the "Brexit Effect"

Worth a watch if you want to hear some actual industry folk talking about the actual effects of Brexit. Spoiler: it's not great.

Some people want this country to be better, but far-right nationalists (like Gate) really don't want to improve things at all - they just want to make everyone else's lives as miserable as theirs. You can trace basically every political opinion they have back to fear and terror at living in a world that is increasingly foreign (no pun intended) to them.

Brown folk in number 10, non-binary genders in unisex toilets, people cycling on the roads, electric cars, liberal tofu eating wokerati, it's all very scary!

It's all just a reaction to a world they no longer understand and don't really have a place in. When you think about it for a little while, it's all just quite sad.

Classic nothingburger response. Can't defend anything you say so back to sad little insults.

Even if Labour wins I highly doubt there will be another referendum, fairly sure Starmer ruled it out to appease the loony voters.

The Tories and the far-right decided they wanted to hobble this country to keep migrants out. The bed has been made, the loons took a big dump in it, now we all gotta roll around in the muck with them.
