"We did it with Brexit. Has anybody else ever put up economic sanctions against themselves? Genuine question." Here we go again 
Round and Round  | |||
"We did it with Brexit. Has anybody else ever put up economic sanctions against themselves? Genuine question. Here we go again
Round and Round "It was a simple question. I can't think of another example where a country deliberately put up barriers to their own trade in the way we did. | |||
"We did it with Brexit. Has anybody else ever put up economic sanctions against themselves? Genuine question." I can’t think of anyone,  | |||

"the economic collapse is gathering momentum. it's now doubtful that it can be prevented from going into freefall. "Yes but, we have sovereignty | |||

"Seriously, has any country ever applied sanctions against itself apart from us? Usualy, sanctions are imposed on other countries as punishment." I think it's a 1st and deserves a place in the Guinness Book of Records or something | |||
"Seriously, has any country ever applied sanctions against itself apart from us? Usualy, sanctions are imposed on other countries as punishment." We haven't applied sanctions, but you know that already. | |||
"Seriously, has any country ever applied sanctions against itself apart from us? Usualy, sanctions are imposed on other countries as punishment. We haven't applied sanctions, but you know that already." You don't consider voluntarily restricting our own freedom of movement to be a sanction? | |||

This country has just imposed plenty of those on itself. Ordinary people from this country used to be able to snowbird in Southern Europe over the winter months and now they are restricted to only three months of winter and can then no longer travel anywhere in Europe for another three months. People can still do that, just not ordinary people. Industry in this country has had employment, bureaucratic and legal sanctions imposed on it because of Brexit. Particularly badly hit are the sectors of hospitality, fishing, farming, logistics and SME exporters. None of these sectors had problems before Brexit - now they all do. N Ireland is part of the United Kingdom and Brexit has placed sanctions on what Great Britain can export to, and import from N Ireland. All of the above can legitimately be called sanctions because they are barriers and/or limitations that bring about restrictions. It is noticeable that even on this platform, the Brexit fanbase is thinning out with every passing month. I reckon that within a year or so, no-one will admit to voting for Brexit and those who still will admit to voting for it will blame the Government for not doing Brexit properly. | |||

Id say anyone who can afford to holiday three months at a time are not in the majority Clearly never visited the canaries where the elderly flock too to save money still not the majority of people like i said most peeps are lucky if they can afford a couple of weeks away a year" Before brexit and covid, it was perfectly possible for somebody on a pension to spend the winter in southern europe, either at off peak rates for a budget rental or even staying with friends, for less money than they would have to spend on winter fuel bills in the colder parts of the UK. Nothing to do with holidaying, just being able to have a better old age than they are allowed to now. | |||

"At this point, I'm guessing no other country has ever been dumb enough to sanction itself in the way we have." Other than Scotland as stated previously Voted remain twice and wee jimmy crankie will persist until I’ve lost twice That said COVID was unknown and in my humble opinion has far reaching implications many yet unknown. Far too balanced for me so to stir things up why are our Ryder cup golfers playing (term used loosely) under ‘a European flag’ There is no such thing ! | |||

They own a pretty fancy motorhome that they spend half the year touring Europe in. Yet they voted to leave. I remember my sister and I trying to reason with them. But they said they were doing it for their grandkids. Every single member of our family voted to remain. Their kids, their nephews and nieces, their siblings. Their grandkids of voting age. Everyone voted to remain. Except them. At the time they brought out all the usual nonsense about control etc. My mum even said something about why should she be served by a Polish woman at the local shop. I told her that that woman might be the wife of the Polish friend and colleague I work with. The degree educated software developer, higher rate tax payer, in the U.K. working for an IT company that, amongst others, services the NHS. The really depressing thing is that they have travelled and lived all over the world. Asia, Europe, USA. It’s not like they fit the never-been-beyond-my-road group. I’d lived in 5 different countries by the time I was 12. I even reminded my mother that *she* worked in a cafe when we lived in the USA as immigrants (sorry, “expats”, we are white). And if memory serves me right I think she had to even be paid under the table as she didn’t have a work permit. Absolutely baffling. -Matt | |||

Not all the old voted for Brexit "from the hatred poured out on here towards old people not three years ago id say a lot of people who voted remain would disagree with you,apparently it was all the fault of uneducated people and old folk,i even remember some saying there should be an upper age limit on voting as if your in your 70s and vote for something that could have a negative effect that they wouldnt be around long enough to have to deal with the fall out of there decision, | |||

Nothing to do with holidaying, just being able to have a better old age than they are allowed to now. So they just apply for a visa "Which is a restriction right?

" That's politics you have to accept the majority vote." Or in this case what only 37% of the population voted for. | |||
" That's politics you have to accept the majority vote. Or in this case what only 37% of the population voted for. " If only more of the population had taken a Interest then maybe things would have been different. | |||

"I can't be bothered to read the full back and forth.
