Looking around the Brexit media it looks as if the Brexiteers have been conned yet again. They seem very enthusiastic about this. Obviously completely clueless, again, what this will mean for the future of the UK.

Unfortunately it's very bad news for the UK which will become evident in due course like everything else concerning Brexit.
They will never learn.

They've been conned so badly that I'm sure many of them feel it would too humiliating to admit it at this point, so they might as well keep pretending. The whole thing is a monumental embarrassment and an unprecedented self-inflicted catastrophe, and it's just getting started.
 
imagine having to go on the tele and argue that $1.8bn over 10 years is significant to the UK economy

And it will continue until there is a strong opposition in parliament and a strong press where journalists ask the right questions. Badenoch wilted under mild pressing in the above clip. If the journalists and opposition politicians asked the right questions, it would be utter humiliation but they won't because either they are so scared to do so or not knowledgeable enough.

Plus accountability of the press and politicians, which is sorely lacking.

Rishi Sunak has criticised the European Union’s “regrettable choice of words” after it appeared to have endorsed the name Argentina uses for the Falkland Islands.

In France they are known as Les Îles Malouines anyway.

He'll be in for a shock when he realises London is called Londres by the French.

What does Rishi expect, the French sold Exocet Missiles to the Argentine during the Falklands war? All seems a bit pointless getting upset about a name now 40 odd years later. I am sure the relatives and friends of those who died on HMS Sheffield are however indebted to the PM for trying to make sure their relatives and their loved ones died in the right war.

He'll be bringing up Agincourt and 'good luck' associated with spotting white rabbits soon no doubt, anything during the week of three bye-elections to keep the conversation off the Tory governments record in government.

As far as I'm aware the French sold 5 Exocet missiles to Argentina before the Falklands war, not during it

France would have sold them during the war, if the Argentine wanted to buy. France is one of the main arm sellers in the world and they owed allegiance to neither.

This from the BBC in 2012 suggests they didn't.

"At the start of the conflict, France's left-leaning president, Francois Mitterrand, had come to Britain's aid by declaring an embargo on French arms sales and assistance to Argentina.

He also allowed the Falklands-bound British fleet to use French port facilities in West Africa, as well as providing London with detailed information about planes and weaponry his country had sold to Buenos Aires.

Paris also co-operated with extensive British efforts to stop Argentina acquiring any more Exocets on the world's arms market."

And while Mitterand declared an embargo, Dassault had technicians in Argentina who were testing and calibrating the exocet for the Argentines. :lol:

I said it in this thread and I will say it again, you should never trust french politicians when money or power is in the equation, France played both sides.

Behind the scenes, actions were speaking louder than words. In what would appear to be a clear breach of President Mitterrand's embargo, a French technical team - mainly working for a company 51% owned by the French government - stayed in Argentina throughout the war.

Al Haig knew the score, he became Reagan's'deep throat' on the matter, passed on the technical details to Brits on how to deal with Exocets.
 
if it was a few hundred years ago all these cnuts would be hung drawn and quartered for treason

and I'd be there cheering it on :lol:

I think Hannan is more of a crank than a genuine traitor like Banks, Farage or Johnson. Still, historians will ponder why some junior debating club hack with no real world experience was afforded intellectual status. Unlike Paddington Bear, he should have stayed in Peru.

Iirc, over 90% of economists thought Brexit was a bad idea. The remainder were unsure or pro-Brexit. The pro-brexiteer economists were overrepresented because they were useful to the politicians who wanted it for their own reasons.
 
I really hope they get hit with a huge tax bill by Italy when they eventually have to sell it because of, you know, Brexit. Would love to hear more of their woes.

This is just typical of the despicable DM who were at the very forefront of Brexit. Blaming the EU because we in the UK decided to leave and now blaming the EU because we are a 2nd party status to it.
But the imbeciles who are stupid enough to spend their so called hard earned cash on buying this rag will of course lap it up.

I've told many people about this and very few believed it would happen. We're so accustomed to our freedom of movement within Europe that people took it for granted. The Brexit lot managed to reduce the concept of Freedom of Movement down to immigration to the UK exclusively.
