Oh Peter what have you done!

He has nothing to worry about. Soon the building of the good ship HMS Brexitannia will have finished and she will be ready for launching. When she leaves port she will sail around the world striking billon pound trade deals for breakfast. Then he will be able to sell his slippery creatures all over the planet if they haven't already perished in transit. It was on this very forum just a few pages back so it must be true.

Easy to shrug at this fella given his UKIP ad, but he patently didn’t realise what he was voting for.

Reality has collided with the lies, misunderstanding & misinformation & people like this fella will realise their mistake on a daily basis in the coming months / years.

Labour should abstain. True, its better than no deal. But it's not better than remaining and arguably its worse than a Labour (Norway style?) deal. All he has to do is explain that. When it goes tits up the tories will play the blame game as per. Labour shouldn't put their name to it.
This ^

Starmer should highlight the contentious points within it & explain how it’s obvs demonstrably worse than what we already had and then simply abstain & leave the entire ownership of what follows where it belongs. The entire debacle has been a Tory psychodrama from the very beginning, so let the Tories and them alone put their name to the only trade deal in history where the end point results with far more barriers to trade the the starting one. Literally a World first. Rule Britannia.
 
Quite serious this, a long read but important, on the philosophy underpinning Brexit - and a key book from 1977 by William Rees Mogg https://alastaircampbell.org/2020/1...y-begun-britain-needs-to-wake-up-fast/?Brexit is only the start of a right wing new world order
Wasn't this around the the start of the Free Market Capitalist thinking based on the ideas of Friedrich Hayek / Milton Friedman? Adopted and propogated by Reagan/Thatcher over 40 years ago. The origin i.m.o.of all that's wrong with the world today.
 
Why is that? Genuine question. I haven't seen or heard this anywhere.

You'll need to get a Green Card from your current car insurer, which could take 'n' time to get it. Most state a minimum period from which you should request it.

Admiral - 7 days
AA - 14 days
Hastings - 7 days

etc



Some insurers will validate them for the policy life, others it's only 90 days. Some will allow you to print yourself or they have to post out to you.

Don't you also need a driving license that's valid in Europe, which is something you need to get from the Post Office or somewhere?
 
Serves him right, but a shame for the workforce.
I know a lot of you will be delighted to see a Brexit voter fall on his face as a direct result of leaving the EU. But before you start blowing your trumpets let's just wait and see what happens.

At the moment he's concerned about the effect of red tape on the demand for his product and his fears may well be justified. But his product also has a finite supply, and there's no guarantee that the French, who appear to be his only serious competition, will be able to replace the significant numbers he currently exports to the EU, at least in the short term. Extra demand will also increase the cost of the French product, a natural bi product of demand and supply laws, which in itself would make the additional red tape for his product more palatable.

The other side to this is that the UK haven't yet opened markets to the rest of the world. So far they have concentrated their efforts on replacing those trade agreements we would lose by leaving the EU. As these come on board new markets will open to his business which can hopefully take up the slack caused by a reduction in his EU trade. Ultimately his business may even grow, which was the purpose of him voting to leave in the first place. I for one hope that it does, for the sake of those who work for him and others who are also reliant on his business for their livelihood.

At the end of the day, he is a person who voted Brexit because he thought it would be best for his business and those it supports. I really don't see how that is any different to those business owners who voted remain because they believed that staying in the EU would be better for their business.

Isn't that only in relation to the insurance on your own car?.

As far as I'm aware it doesn't affect the hiring of cars as you have to take out their insurance anyway. I'm sure you just need your driving licence and, in certain EU countries, an International permit which you can buy over the counter at any UK post office for a couple of quid.
