If there were no negatives then LBP would not be able to point them out. It is an opportunity for Brexiters to counter them with the positives of Brexit.

Too often they aren't true or accurate reports though, old ashy posted one about a few companies setting up in the EU to make exporting easier and a few people with rights to a eu passport getting one as an example of bad things, he didnt come back when I countered that with the fdi figures which shows very large amounts of investment coming here still.
They decry the mail, express etc but then quote one sided rubbish from pro eu media as gospel. It's easy to cherry pick anything to prove a point, some of us are open minded to see that.

We don't have to do anything. And when we do.......... The posts earlier in the thread stated the UK has no gas storage " Other than what is in the pipes ". This is clearly not true. I have pointed this out, but no apology as yet. Just waffle about how large/ small these storage facilities are.........
Waste of my time.

Waffle = my serious question?

How about you give us an idea of how big your local store is and then we can analyse? Context is everything and a holding tank is not a storage facility.

Let’s rejoin EU single market to ease cost of living crisis, says Tobias Ellwood

Tory MP, and Boris Johnson critic, suggests ‘radical thinking’ to fight rising inflation, including ‘daring to assess how Brexit is faring’

www.telegraph.co.uk

Outbreak of sanity in the Conservative ranks.

So now the concept of joining / rejoining the massive single market, right in your own back garden, is classed as “radical” thinking. Bless my soul…

Of course its radical, single market equals free movement and all eu rules, exactly what we voted against, remind me what happened to the liberals and labour when they went against the voters decision

Not at all. Your membership was “cake and eat it”! It was membership, with all the opt outs Britain had negotiated for itself. Classic “cake and eat it”!
But enough was never enough. The old empire mentality of the Tory / Etonian establishment, pined for the old days, of London at the centre, with the colonies glad to contribute. Sadly the plebs, got hoodwinked and led astray.

Looking at how some of the EU empire has responded to ukraine due to self interest I'm not sure what good the eu army would be.

Whereas ireland has been sold out to a bunch of self serving empire building eurocrats, still I expect you are too old to be called up for national service in the new EU army so no problem for you

Which empire did I mention the glorious uk one we gave up mostly voluntarily or the new eu one ? I have no desire to revive the uk one countries should have self determination, something the Irish dont have now,

But I didn’t say you desire to revive the Empire. I said the old Etonian establishment are of that empire mentality, where they see themselves at the top, being served by plebs.
I said they tricked the plebs into their false narrative…..

If the UK revoked Brexit, what Benefits could the Brexiteers point out they'd lost?

It's not those who believe in the UK attacking other countries it's some here attacking the uk and ex pats attacking the uk and some who arent even british attacking the uk. Some of us are just defending the uk and a democratic decision, if you think that is nationalism then you have a very different interpretation than me.

It's not attacking the UK! It's attacking the Lying, Corrupt , Inept government that's led by your scumbag in chief.

There is one prime example, the good peasant who most days posts some anti uk/brexit nonsense .
Its six years yet still this rubbish goes on.
It seems fine for other countries to be patriotic but not the UK the media make more of st Pat's day here in the uk than st George's for example.

You haven't left yet!
Northern Ireland ? Oh yes, contracts and agreements mean nothing.

Again, for the hard of reading...
By comparison, the UK can only hold enough gas to meet a few days of demand. That is in large part because of a decision taken in 2017 to close Centrica's Rough storage facility, in the North Sea, which provided 70 per cent of the UK's gas storage capacity for more than 30 years.

Getting rid of gas storage facilities has left the UK exposed to shortages and price hikes

In 2017 the UK’s biggest gas storage facility, Rough, closed after the Government refused to subsidise costly repairs

Would that be different from the gas contract we have with norway that you claim the eu can tell them to break ,?
