Some bright spark has come up with the idea of having a system where you and goods can move around most of Europe freely.
No costly insurance or checks at the borders, in fact any borders. Goods going either way won't even have to pay any tax. And there's a guarantee that everything from food to electrical goods will be safe.
Imagine the restrictions and delays being lifted. Exporters could move back to the UK. The City could begin to recover the billions it has lost in trade, fishermen could get back to work as could any number of small businesses who export to Europe.
It would be for UK residents what the Berlin Wall coming down was for East Germans. A lifting of the gloom and failure that has descended upon the country.
Silly idea though, it might suit those foreign johnnies over the water, but we should be concentrating on sealing up the Channel Tunnel and looking inward a bit more.

I also don't know you mate, & you know me, so you tell me to belt up just because I disagree with you. I think you may have a problem with freedom of speech. |
I think most have a problem that you are banging on about education whilst barely being able to string a sentence together.
You are all over the place on this thread on pretty much every level conceivable so far.
But telling you won't make any difference, between you have already shown you are not capable of taking any of it on board.
Don't worry, it's clear every time this comes up that you're not alone.
Do at least try to spare a thought though for the businesses who are in trouble because of your collective ignorance, because it's downright rude how you keep pretending it's not happening.
Edit: I can barely string a sentence together today myself it seems. 3 edits so far. [Post edited 20 May 2021 18:11]

Did I say they were less educated. Point I was making a lot of young people would be better of having a trade rather than a degree. |
And a lot of tradespeople would benefit from having a bit of a broader education. You're not making the world shaking points you think you are mate. |  |

You said we "had" (past tense) a well-educated public until the government decided people should go to university. The implication there is pretty clear, mate. |  |

You mean the same system agreed by the EU in 1990. However we managed quite well in the common market before 1990. Get over it we have left the EU. |
What do you think the Common Market was for? | |

Look guys, Leaky isn't taking questions right now. He has a few pre-prepared quips he's picked up from watching Boobs in the Wood and reading Richard Littlejohn columns over the years and he's going to repeat them.
The quips aren't up for discussion, he's built his worldview around them, so considering any salient points only run the risk of realising that everything he believes is either stupid, wrong, or a combination of both. | |

I don't really want to fall out with Leaky because away from this nonsense he seems quite a friendly sort.
But it's still this same crap repeated over and again as though not so much as a single lesson has been learned.
How the feck can, "It's done, get over it", even mean anything when so many people seem to be struggling?
The infamous fishing industry, transportation, retailers, wholesalers, companies in the service industries...
Unless all the stories I've been reading over the months are made up lies, but so far, there's not much evidence of that.
Phone them up individually Leaky and just say those same stupid words down the phone to them all. | |

Leaky is making it hard to believe he is either skilled or educated, being frank. |

"Winding people up."
Yeah it's fecking hilarious mate.
Same old sh1t every time. "I'm doing all right...etc" with some other old guff.
You are saying you like being a knob. That's all you're saying.
Go and point and laugh at some of those people affected and see how funny they find you. Tell them how you think it's amusing how they're struggling to pay their bills.
You can boast to them about how well you're doing whilst you're at it. | |

Not motivated by politics - has a burning EU flag as a profile picture and seems very upset about the EU in general.
Enjoys winding people up - is the only person upset. However, now you've clearly stated that you're deliberately trying to wind people up, I think it's only right to consider yourself fair game for a bit of bantz, don't you?
Just stop being silly. Your post brainfarting that the problem with the UK was having too many educated people was a duff one. Best stick to fixing boilers and leave the thinking to the rest of us liberal elite types. | |

Trolling people about Brexit when many people's livelihoods have been seriously affected because of it is pretty low, mate. Really disappointed in you as it goes. | |

Your original post:
"We had a welleducated public, untill politicians got involved. they then decided that everyone needed a uuniversity education..."
So yes, you said we had a well educated public until more people went to University which would imply going to university would make you less well educated. |  |

What I think Leaky meant was, he has a belief that formal education is somehow inferior to a more practical based education. To be fair, I have often heard the opposite said from those who have been to university. I personally believe neither to be true, as what's fit for the goose is not always fit for the gander.
However, the part of his post that I disagreed with was the suggestion that it was somehow mainly the fault of people with higher education degrees for the current state of the country. Brexit, for example, was clearly not a popular concept among the degree toting citizenry.
Leaky has diagnosed the symptoms, but got the illness wrong. Education is at the heart of why the country is so rubbish, but too much education isn't the problem. | |

If you don't have any border control, then you don't have any borders really, and you head towards a United States of Europe, which is what i think the majority of people didn't like, despite the economic advantage. |  |

We have left the EU, and will inexorably sink further and further down the world economic league table. |
Perhaps if the political leaders of the time had given the european people a democratic choice we may have continued as the E E C , The EU wouldn't have been created. How much has the EU cost over the past 30 years, billions. We could helped the the third world be free of starvation, given clean water to the world & made a big dent in Global warming. No it was decided to form the EU so failed politicians had a pension fund. | | | |

Right. The EU is to blame for climate change, unsanitary water conditions and starvaion elsewhere in the world. If not for the EU dear old Blighty would have solved it all year ago.
In case you haven't noticed, the current UK population don't particularly want to fund food and resources for their own children, let alone others elsewhere.
You talk guff. Apparently deliberately just to to get a reaction, according to your last post. | |

Fairly sure that Trekkie's posts are just Leaky's posts run through some kind of app that cleans up the spelling and grammar and imparts each post with a kind of false sense of moral superiority. [Post edited 20 May 2021 19:28]
