  1. Been watching him for a while.

    The transition from true believer to sceptic on all things Covid response related has been fascinating.

    I've been taking additional vitamin D for a while, especially after my health deteriorated (I blame Brexit) to the point where I work from home and aren't commuting by bike in all weathers.

    Does that mean i've missed the s**t hitting the fan? Bugga I was looking forward to that. :(

    Honestly, it's like he doesn't remember 3 day weeks, blackouts, bread shortages and the winter of discontent.

    Well I don't have "stacks and stacks of extra cash", never have done. So whoever I'm paying this extra cash to, can you ask them where I am getting it from please?

    Isn't it fun watching a self-confessed tax dodger complain about other people having to pay extra tax?

    The great thing is Spain has internet so he can still post and amuse us with his childish rants

    It's weird. Now he's talking about a graph, but I haven't posted a graph in ages, and he hasn't posted this "proper" graph that he seems to think will make a point for him.

    I reckon he's being affected by that funny foreign water.

    You are also a wise man

    I can't make up my mind whether Clod has actually relocated to his beloved EU.

    His regular absences from the UK would seem to be incompatible with running a hospitality business during what should be peak season.

    If he's gone, I look forward to seeing the whaling and gnashing of teeth when the Spanish government turn the screw on foreigners after the upcoming general election.

  6. His temperature graph might be right for Greenland, but the one for the whole of the Northern Hemisphere is also interesting.

    It is amusing to see the shift from blaming encroaching ice for putting an end to Viking settlements in Greenland, to blaming their extinction on drought.

    Perhap the trouble is we never actually brexited .

    As I said (often) ANY deal with the EU is a bad deal

    We are still being dictated to by the EU and until a government does as they are told and get out we always will be

    Real Brexit has never been tried.

  8. I thought that you were arguing that Brexit caused the pound to devalue.

    Brexit occurred on 31 January 2020.

    Now you seem to be swerving away, and correlating a drop in the value of the pound, compared to the Euro, with the announcement of the referendum results, even though nothing materially changed in terms of free movement, export rules or law.

    You've been proven to be wrong about trade literally dozens of times, so I don't see much point in discussing it with you again. Suffice to say that the UK exported £572.9 billion worth of goods and services in 2016, and (excepting the dip in 2020), it's gone up every year to £815.2 billion in 2022.

    UK exports of goods and services to the EU are also higher now than at any point prior to the 2016 referendum.

    Labour can waste time on resources on a cost benefit report if they want to, but what you can't seem to get through your head is that YOU voted in the referendum based on your perception of the financial consequences of Brexit.

    People who voted to leave didn't do so on the basis of global finance, they voted based on convictions about sovereignty and self-determination - so even if you convinced them that they are worse off due to Brexit, they will just shrug, and say "Okay".

    Source 1.

    Source 2.

     

     

  9. Swerve to Euros all you like.

    The Pound is worth more against the Euro now than it was for most of the four years prior to Brexit.

    The historical lowest value of the pound against the Euro was in January 2009 - long before Brexit.

    As for your claims about "The music industry", it's not an industry statement at all. What you have provided is an article from two years ago based on a self-selecting poll of musicians that was taken during Covid lockdown, with full travel restrictions in place.

    Dig a little deeper, and it turns out that the poll was actually published in April 2021, and even the original source report doesn't give any information about the number of people who actually responded. Call me a cynic if you will, but I smell bullshittery.

  10. Bitchute has its place, but reading the comments isn't generally to be recommended.

    It is unfortunately full of people who have been banned everywhere else, and their "insights" get a bit depressing.

    Reality at last good lad you can now actually see your pockets emptied at speed in Brexitland .  Now watch Sunak  squirm as he fully reminded of the damage caused to British businesses with brexit by the CEO of Burberry who export 90% of there manufacturered garments.      

     

     

    Weird how their profits are up since Brexit....

    Perhaps a government licenced elver fisherman had COVID for a few days so couldn't denude an entire river system last year?

    What to bet once it's spotted in the press the elvers seen are now being sold in the countries that buy them !

    They catch tons of elvers from the Severn every year and a good number of them are transported to Lough Neagh, to grow on and then be commercially harvested for sale. Some are undoubtedly seeded into other waters, but calling it conservation is a push.

    If they really wanted to conserve eel stocks, we'd see a mink cull. They love eels and I see them chomping on them 10 times for every time I see a mink eating another fish species.

    The time to cull them was during covid, when the Danes culled their farmed mink - instead, the government planned a cat cull!

     

  13. I suspect that 90% or more of these "British nationals" are in fact Sudanese, who arrived in this country as fake refugees and have subsequently acquired citizenship.

    Weird how such people are able to return to the countries that they "fled" from, fearing oppression and murder for holidays, family occasions and business - often while claiming benefits in the UK.

    Every single one of them who claimed to be persecuted in their country of origin and has gone back should be stripped of British citizenship.

    You haven't seen all the evidence! Only a few people have.

    With respect, matey, it doesn't matter. If you can't prove it, you're open to a defamation claim - and it doesn't even have to be successful to cost you money, time and stress,

    And the eurozone is just over 8% !!  U.K. 10.4 % and our growth is rubbish  in Brexitland and  will continue on the same path .
