Ed Davey still going on about a People's Vote. FFS.
Yet previously he was complaing about Johnson being incapable of bringing the country back together, and he suggests a solution that is guaranteed to do the very thing he accuses Boris of not being able to do.What happens if the electorate votes the same way for a second time?
The daft labour woman can’t speak without moving her hands about wildly
Holy crap it's Carmen Miranda
<edit> Tim Martin has hit on a very important point, regarding tariffs. Within the EU we enjoy tariff free, frictionless trade. Goods from outside the EU attract gopping great tariffs.
If anyone remembers about 12 years ago the price of chocolate went through the roof; we were 'told' it was due to poor cocoa harvests. Prices didn't drop.
It was due to EU tariffs. Compare a bag of Tate and Lyle sugar to a bag of sugar from Lidl. T&L is about £1.60; the lidl sugar from Latvian sugar beet is 64p.
We send billions of pounds of aid to Africa, we raise millions through comic relief. The only way those communities will improve is through trade; if we buy their cocoa, buy their sugar cane and not have whopping great import tariffs so we can sell at a reasonable price and buy at a reasonable price, then their communities will improve. That is how the UK can help impoverished nations. But we can't, because the EU actively prohibits free trade with developing nations by imposing massive tariffs.
Surely, then, the true racists are the remainers, the ones who by advocating EU membership are actively harming the poorest communities in the developing world by ensuring trade with those areas is actively restricted.
God give me strength.
