Britain 2025: Foreigners with no ID get to enter and live at taxpayer expense.
Also Britain 2025: Citizens now can't see what's on the Internet without doxing themselves to the government.
Cheers @Keir_Starmer

@AaronBastani Yeah but it's still just weather.
Climate is the long term average and a couple of hot days changes nothing.
English

No. It was 32 degrees 82 years ago, yesterday was 34. Hence it’s a new record, which is the point.
Yesterday was less than a degree away from being the record temperature in June. It’s bizarre to downplay how warm it is for…Spring.

So wait the weather was the exact same temperature as 82 years ago ?! But I thought every summer was “the hottest ever” because of climate change …

@Crazyunfill94 This must be a massive issue in the muslim community for there to be so much focus on it.
English

A Pakistani Islamic scholar, Tariq Masood, said:
"After a girl turns 9 years old, a father should be cautious around his own daughter. If lust awakens in the father's heart for his daughter, or if any inappropriate act occurs, then his own wife also becomes haram for him."
There is no limit to ignorance and madness.
Linking even the pure, sacred relationship between a father and daughter with sexual lust?
What can people with this kind of mentality possibly teach the world?

@archer_rs That's weather that is.
Climate is the long term average.
English

@volcaholic1 In the winter we are often reminded that you can't draw conclusions from weather. That advice applies at other times of the year too.
You're getting over excited about "weather".
Remember that climate is the long term average.

And I'll just leave this here.....
Every single fucking one of those were broken yesterday.
I'll wait.

@DrNeilStone They're not free, someone pays, mostly the taxpayer. Prescription charges covers the rest.

@Eddystone506 And yet we grow, more than our European G7 counterparts too.
So there's that.

@vivamjm @Claret_Badger @Eddystone506 What an i trashing exactly? I was asking questions to get your understanding of how the regulatory barriers with the EU work in practice.
English

@SteelTuft @Claret_Badger @Eddystone506 The Dutch & Spaniards are (both EU) not outsiders to each other. They have mutual recognition under the authority of EU mutually recognised legal accredited testing,oversight & authority. We are digressing now. Why do you want to trash all the UK achieved?

6/To better improve trade and *remove all* of that above border bureaucracy, the next step up is really quite remarkable & achieved to date only between the nations of Europe. The UK, Lord Cockfield & Mrs Thatcher were instrumental in this incredible achievement.
English

@stevefroom @OtmoorMr Last 10 years of data and it's difficult to see where Brexit is from the Export data.

English

@OtmoorMr I think we're doing OK without chaining ourselves to the expensive and declining EU thanks very much.

English

@vivamjm @Claret_Badger @Eddystone506 So a product that has a declaration of conformity, say with a Dutch test house, might not be accepted in Spain? Is that what you're saying?
English

Every member state has decentralised national administrations & interpret the regulatory & customs entry requirements variably to *outsiders* to their single market & customs union, with variable risk management systems.. What gets your goods cleared into one member state as an outsider doesn't necessarily into another member state's entry point.
English

@vivamjm @Claret_Badger @Eddystone506 That's actually what I guessed that you meant, but the single market has one regulatory framework and one custom border, whether you send to Amsterdam or Riga it's the same requirements.
So, why would you make the barrier to exports from the UK seem higher than it is?
English

@vivamjm @Claret_Badger @Eddystone506 Yes I get the general picture. I wanted to know specifically about the 28/31 borders that you referred to. Where are they?
English

@SteelTuft @Claret_Badger @Eddystone506 All countries have their own market regulations under own legal authority & own customs territory..
making bilateral regulatory & customs borders between all..
unless agreeing a single market of regulations under mutually recognised legal authority & a customs union with another
English

@vivamjm @Claret_Badger @Eddystone506 We added 31 regulatory borders and 28 customs borders? What do you mean by this?
English

The world is much bigger than the EU, but Brexit made it much harder to sell into the EU27 without (not in UK's gift to) making it any *equally* compensating easier to sell into any other market. We *levelled* down trade into the EU, with now an added extra 31 regulatory borders & 28 extra customs borders (the highest of barriers to trade, prosperity & growth) to sell across in the world

@Claret_Badger @vivamjm @Eddystone506 Your mechanistic argument fails in the face of evidence of actual outcomes. Maybe you forgot that the world is bigger than the EU?
The effect of leaving the EU was pretty negligible at the aggregate level despite all your tears.
English

@SteelTuft @vivamjm @Eddystone506 We don't need a graph you halfwit.
Imposing trade barriers negatively affects trade.
It's not complicated.
English

@Sacro @david_boulding @billgdavies @johnredwood Well you need to brush up your EU treaty history because you're spouting nonsense on that.
English

@Sacro @david_boulding @billgdavies @johnredwood It literally was the sane both times. The Lisbon treaty had already been ratified by a number of countries when Ireland said "no". It couldn't be changed without restarting ratification. That's why Ireland was pressurised to vote again.
You really should know this.
English

@SteelTuft @david_boulding @billgdavies @johnredwood Does democracy not allow people to vote on an amended issue?
It wasn't twice on the exact same thing
English

@andrewhesselden I voted leave, I'd vote to rejoin in a heartbeat
English

55% of people support EU membership.
Just 33% opposed.
1 in 5 people (21%) who voted to leave in 2016 have changed their minds, and would now vote to rejoin.
Green voters 84% back rejoin
Labour 80%
Lib Dem 74%
Conservative 28%
Reform 11%

@Sacro @david_boulding @billgdavies @johnredwood Your first sentence needs some work.
The Irish certainly voted twice on the Lisbon treaty. Its original rejection of the treaty was unacceptable to the EU probably because of the EU's deep respect for member states and democracy. (Irony obvs)

English

@SteelTuft @david_boulding @billgdavies @johnredwood Yes it's a lie, the EU couldn't hide that it was down to member States.
And the Irish didn't have to vote again to get the right answer, they voted on something, turned it down and voted on something different, that's democracy.
