You cannot possibly be stupid enough to think you have a point there when you have been able to buy cricket powder protein for years in the U.K.
And that's before you even consider they're hyper-sustainable and a serious part of the solution to the climate crisis.
I have never bought any, didn't fancy it.
I prefer to get my protein from other mammals rather than crustaceans and insects and worms. I pity the Europeans many will be eating these bugs without knowing it as the cricket powder can now be added to flour.
The Europeans are cruel and barbaric savages just think how many lives will be sacrificed to make just one loaf of bread will probably be in the 1000,s, they will have blood on their hands.
I can't belive you are condoning such barbaric behaviour pinman.

UK is forecast to be the only major economy to shink in 2023 (IMF), accountable to a sizeable gap in the required work force through lack of EU migration and early retirements.
No-one else is suffering that.
Bloomberg finds that Brexit is costing the uk £100 BILLION a year in lost growth. The pro-Brexit Telegraph is even reporting it

Benefits please?
Nah I'm kidding, there are none, we're 28 pages in, I'm just here for the banter.

Seems chief Brexit negotiator David Frost has seen this thread, he posted up the benefits this morning on Twitter. He was that confident he was correct that he didnt allow any replies.
By my reckoning 1,2, 3, 7, 8 and 10 could all have been done inside the EU. Shipping people off to Rwanda, pumping shit into rivers and destroying the fishing industry are not really benefits, Ive not seen any happy farmers and the net benefit of Free trade agreements is about as much as whats down the back of my sofa, we have lost £25bn in EU trade though.
Im not sure about the £10bn a year (I am, its a false number) but the cost so far is estimated at £-36Bn along with the £100bn a year in lost growth.
Blue passports though eh?

The alcohol duty means wine is going up. We are going to look to make lower alcohol versions to beat it.
As in, becoming more expensive?
Now this was quite special, Kemi Badenoch being rewarded for her unending support of Sunak gives an interview about the benefits of a new "UK-Italy trade partnership".

And this is my favourite part of the article:
It's just a bare face denial of reality but it isn't surprising, this is how the Conservatives talk to us these days.The deal makes no change to the UK and Italy's key trading regulations - from tariffs and quotas to customs rules - but she said it would help improve trade between the nations.
And this analogy is ridiculous because at this point the couple have been married 7 years and the "baby" is almost 3When it was pointed out that the flow of goods and services between Italy and the UK has fallen since Brexit, Mrs Badenoch said: "It is the long-term trend that I need to work towards rather than what happened this year or last year. "I think that that is actually what I would call a 'fake conversation'. It's like asking people who just got married: 'where's the baby, where's the baby?'
And she thought she had a shot at being pm
Italy is becoming more toxic by the minute, what on earth do they produce that’s worth trading? Apart from their super cars, gorgeous women, amazing weather and nice food, apart from that, they have nothing to offer
Well Leon, it seems not even politicians think Brexit has been a success and have conducted a cross party off-site meeting in the highest secrecy to discuss what a clusterfunk it is.
https://www.theguardian.com/politics...ings-of-brexit
An extraordinary cross-party summit bringing together leading leavers and remainers – including Michael Gove and senior members of Keir Starmer’s shadow cabinet – has been held in high secrecy to address the failings of Brexit and how to remedy them in the national interest, the Observer can reveal.Absolutely fabulous article, well worth a read.“The main thrust of it was that Britain is losing out, that Brexit it not delivering, our economy is in a weak position,” said the source.
The only benefit to brexit I can come up with, is seeing Brexiters with egg on their faces
£29 billion of lost investment according to the predictions of a senior BoE analyst. Granted, not the position of the BoE itself, but people aren't senior analysts without knowing their stuff.

I also didn't know about this till it popped up from someone on LinkedIN. Owen Paterson, vehement Brexiteer and stern opponent of theECHR, having been booted from the Conservatives because of his illegal and immoral lobbying, escalated his defence to the...

Yep, Johnson is advocating Ukraine join the EU. Irony overload.
