Just getting back to somewhere near where we were is not really acceptable is it.

It was a response to a previous post; so that context is relevant.

Based on the theme running through your previous posts I doubt you'll find anything acceptable. I was only just trying to look at the future rather than wallowing in past; IMO the direction is at least positive as opposed to the fear/negative stories that are resurfacing on here.
 
The £350m was debunked long before the vote. It was ridiculed long before the vote. Even prominent Leavers were distancing themselves from it long before the vote.

But it still worked imo - a good number of people imo voted to leave because of it , the impact of it was already done - I think it was very well done by the Leave campaign, possibly a vote swinger in their favour for people
"Not sure why people deny it..." Maybe because they are not stupid enough, once it was debunked before the vote, to believe it. There was reams in the media debunking it, and if you go back through the thread you'll find reams there too.

"Clear subliminal message..." Now this made me laugh. How can you have a clear subliminal message? Its either clear or subliminal. The message was as clear as day, as was all the intelligent debunking of it, e.g. the rebate meant it was only £189m.

If you're hanging on to this as part of your argument... respectfully, a bit foolish really.

Not hanging onto anything tbh and Which argument ? - The bus was brought up and I replied about it - the leave campaign should take it as a triumph.

But people will still expect money to be funnelled into the NHS from any money we save from leaving the EU

Not a good start

Just leave it be, we all have a yard stick to measure the amount of success or failure.
We will all get to pass judgement in 5 years ..
The boat has sailed, the game is about majorities. Get on with your lives as best you can .. and I wish you all luck as I would like success.
I may not agree either but I know i am a minority.
 

bear in mind the US is a very litigious country, and payouts for food poisoning are massive. If the same standards are applied there’s nothing to worry about. Why would they operate two different standard? BUT if the US suppliers see it as an opportunity to offload inferior products, just what will the protections be?

Don’t forget, it will be the UK retailer that will be sued. Could they afford the court case?

Common sense says why have several different standards. There’ll still be produce coming in from the EU. Just have one set of standards.

It is a valid concern but I can’t see it being an issue.
