Was it exclusively about 'taking back control' of the UK's borders, or did 'taking back control' cover a myriad of controls?

What things don't you want to take back control of?

Was there anything on the ballot paper about taking back control of our borders?

Did you not read the question?

We take back control of everything. That doesn't mean we have to change everything. HTH

It'll be similar to why they wouldn't publish their impact assessments - it will hurt some Leavers' feelings.

But they were sectoral analyst assessments.

A totally different thing apparently.

Does anyone know how 'no deal' (no withdrawal agreement or trade agreement) is being reported in the EU27.

i remember similar claims in the lead up to the millennium.

A very good analogy as that was a real issue that was both overblown by the media but also very much mitigated by a great deal of work to fix all of crucial systems that might be affected.

IIRC, it was much overblown, hyped up by the government and provided a bonanza for a whole load of profiteering spivs.

I made £2K for the night, sat on my arse in the house on call.

We did do a lot of work on the lead up to ensure we were ready, just as we should be doing now for Brexit.

And taking back control is handing over food safety to a third party?

Sure, fifth (Or are we 6th now) as a result of being part of the EU.

In the way that's expressed, 'as a result of', you're implying certainty over an unknown quantity. Wishful thinking, possibly?

We're 5th or 6th in the global economy rankings, and happen to be in the EU, where we've been since the EU evolved out of the EEC.

It's not knowable whether we'd be 4th (or whatever) already if we'd been operating outside the EU for the same period of time. Credit may therefore be due to EU membership or there may be a disbenefit. Neither of us knows which. Nor does anybody else, regardless of whether or not they've got a gravity model to play with.

We aren't 'handing over' anything.

I didn't write anything that would infer that there were things I didn't want to take back control of.

Does that help?

Excellent, you know the answer to your vacuous question.

How do you imagine the EU polices food safety at the moment?

Great, we will know what you are saying when in future you ask if it was on the ballot paper or you talk about anything Brexit related that wasn't on the ballot paper.

Fairly patchily, and with several incidences of corruption, by all accounts. And, to be clear, I'm not suggesting it is any different here.

But that will be as true on Brexit Day 1 as it will be on Brexit Day -1.

Taking back control?

All that matters to some is that we 'take back control' over the number of 'immigrants' coming into the country, especially those with different coloured skins or non-christian beliefs. All of the downsides to 'taking back control' are either 'project fear' or 'a price worth paying' depending on which paper they last read.

Great we need some mother of a brush to sweep up all the BS on this thread ...

Great, I've never said any of the above (exception being, referring to remainers saying it), nor am I likely to.

Next.

I think you mean 'some'.

But not sure what the relevance is of a small number of idiots in the wider scheme of things?
