Cultists behave yourself. We would be interested to know which cult I belong to? My life hasn't changed throughout anything. Mainly from my own attitude mostly. The biggest trauma from outside events was missing the last episode of Dr Who from the 1973 blackout. I would say life has got better. Covid actually reminds me of the 70s when things were shit in general. But who knows why. Thatcher's economic revolution? Being in the EU? Supermarket mass buying power? And while against I'll probably benefit through my business from Independence. I've also not been affected by other people being homeless or dying of cancer.

Don Dan Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Any up side of leaving the EU yet? LONDON (Reuters) - Britain has asked for an extension until 2023 of a grace period on checks that would be conducted on trade moving between Northern Ireland and the rest of the United Kingdom to soften the Brexit impact on the province, the BBC reported. Political editor Laura Kuenssberg said Cabinet Office Secretary Michael Gove had written to the European Commission’s vice president, Maros Sefcovic, to ask for urgent political solutions. As part of the Brexit divorce deal, the two sides agreed a three-month grace period on checks on food goods being moved by supermarkets and some wholesale groups from Britain to Northern Ireland, to ease the impact of the post-Brexit new rules.

Apparently we've all to be patient, as the super, positive result of Brexit won't be truly felt for years. But when those positive happenings happen we'll all be happy people. In the meantime, there will be "teething problems". We must believe Farage, Gove, Rees Mogg and their flag waving chums, because they always tell the truth, unlike Johnny Foreigner.
