Brexit Benefits

[Hymie]

What with the war in Ukraine, Brexit has not figured much in the news recently; knowing that Boris Johnson follows my posts on this site, mentioning blue passports and the Crown Mark on pub glasses – I’d like to add ‘killing our honey-bees using EU-banned neonicotinoid pesticides’.

So when Boris announces this additional Brexit benefit – you’ll know he read it here first.

In no particular order – the main Brexit benefits to date are:-
- Blue passports
- The Crown Mark on pub glasses (†)
- Mobile phone companies able to make roaming charges (when using your phone in mainland Europe)
- Killing our honey-bees with EU banned pesticides

† Buenchico has claimed that it would be perfectly legal for the UK to have placed the Crown Mark on pub glasses while members of the EU. You have to ask yourself, do you believe Boris Johnson (who has been sacked from his job three times for lying – so far), or Buenchico?

I voted remain but what's done is done and it's pointless to keep banging on about it. What does do my head in though is the constant banging on about sovereignty. You can't eat,drink or wear it and neither can you heat your home with it.
I think that sovereignty is probably the last thing that would be on the minds of Ukrainian women whilst being raped by Russian soldiers.

PP. //but we cant do anything with sovereignty //

That would be news to the sainted Kate Bingham, who was able to get Britain's vaccinations off to a flying start while the EU was faffing around for days trying to decide how to proceed.

If their sovereignty had remained intact they would not have been raped by Russian soldiers. The Russians are attempting to undermine the sovereignty of Ukraine. You don't seem to grasp what sovereignty is. It may be nebulous and you certainly can't pay the gas bill with it, but it's far more important than that, as your example demonstrates.
