Closing your eyes and praying to the Great God Brexit doesn't mean the problem goes away after you sign up.
This is of course just "talking down Britain" when the government suggests that the UK border force can't conduct a 'couple of check', and a 'few forms' can't be filled out.
"If the EU can process all those goods from China, I certainly think Britain will be OK"
And that has been a certain amount of the debate for years: "Britain can solve the problem" and "Other countries manage this".
And we tried to tell them it's also about existing volume...we really tried.

1. If you want to understand the problem with political debate in the UK, then we only have to look at this government report on the European Union from 2010. (Thread)

2. The House of Commons Library is strictly impartial, but sometimes (as we shall see) when including opinions, it’s important to take into account more than someone’s job title or experience.
3. The report in question needed to cover the Factortame ruling that asserted the supremacy of Community law in the UK.

@987_charles @WarRocketAjaxUK I've got footage. What he is describing is pretty much the opposite of keeping sovereignty.
@987_charles @WarRocketAjaxUK Building up a European foreign policy?

Now the problem here is the source of your quote also said that Heath called it a just a Common Market while saying he claimed no loss of sovereignty.
@987_charles @WarRocketAjaxUK And the problem with that is that Heath doesn't call it a Common Market he uses the term Community, and he believes that the surrender of sovereignty is something that should be recognised and made clear. That it was a cost worth paying.

"Impossible to reform" after a "long opposed" 1 term informal agreement was dropped. 🤦‍♂️
The British establishment still pushing out this line, and history still making them look like total pillocks.
From the people who demanded a referendum on the "Reform treaty" so they could vote it down, and with it that parliamentary vote.

OK, I don’t think there is much to jump on about the Amsterdam thing. (Thread)
But I also think that that Andrew Bailey misses the point.
During the referendum the argument was made that because the EU regulatory regime was agreed with the UK that passporting would be granted.

This aged well.
There is absolutely no need for a minority to pressure the supermarkets into buying stock with a short shelf life that won't be sold, John, but all is not lost mate...

...Chris has some really good ideas about solving this problem, and I believe he might even have some big contacts in Oman and Bahrein who are willing to buy tonnes of our stock.

There is actually another way, and I think it's in the contract. It's time for the Commission to work with the memberstates the UK and with AZ in terms of working out how to boost supply.

The AZ contracts can't be filled, arguing over today's supply is just not productive.
Or, we can spend all our time arguing about what we can't fix. Get angry and outraged and maybe plant the seeds of resentment to harvest later on.
I mean... I know people are dying and everything, but why should they be our priority when we can make it all about nationalism?
