Not that I'm afraid of the EU, and especially the white-flag brigade across the Channel, of course.

You are, however, perfectly correct in what you say.

As I've always been willing to point out, I believe that Boris sold us short for some reason which I can't be sure of.

No, what we should do is withdraw ourselves from this so-called agreement without more delay and find our own way.

Some would say that we'd be at a disadvantage without 'our friends', but I believe that we'd actually be much better off without them.

We have already made great advances with the rest of the world as trading partners and, in my opinion, we are still handing the EU far more than we are gaining from being 'their friends'!

I think that by 2024 if things don't change radically we might just find the voting population making the decision for our politicians, and I'm sure they are all too aware of that possibility.
I couldn't agree more JBR, I was prepared to give Boris some time
to put his foot down , but now with covid debacle, and fish exporting
ban etc it is evident the leopard has not changed its spots ??
The only way, as they say, is out!!

The extended solo at the end of Layla was a bit dire, but not enough reason to go to war with EC.

What will be the alternatives available at the voting stations?

The good news will be that the UK will make an absolute fortune by selling arms to its enemies.

I'm just glad that Britain and it's fights with Europe aren't the centre of concern for us any more Bruce. Got enough crap to deal with right in our own front yard innit.

Indeed. From what you've described in other threads, your main adversary is somewhat more aggressive!!

The usual:
Conservative
Labour
Liberal (who are they?)
The Odds and Sods

and a new kid on the block:
Reform UK

From what I read, this particular party seems to be garnering an increasing number of followers.
