Honestly some of the most divorced from reality drivel I have heard, and that’s saying something from this serial liar of a PM!
Ignoring that as EU members we would have been free to handle the vaccine rollout as we have done, ignoring the veritable mountain of NEW EU red tape British companies have to comply with to do business with the continent, ignoring that all the trade deals put together are barely a fraction of what we have lost in trade with the EU, and of course, ignoring Northern Ireland.
The whole thing is just straight up gaslighting…
And the pint glass mark? Jesus wept!
Just like the other ‘benefits of brexit’, you’ll need to be half cut for this to even remotely matter to you.
crown stamp never stopped some landlords serving you short
Doing a quick bit of reading about this seems like the mark could have still been used if glass manufacturers wanted to
>forging ahead to remove the ban on selling in pounds and ounces as well as restoring the crown stamp on to the side of pint glasses
Sounds like me when it comes to writing a summary of how I fail to hit any end of year targets at work. I ‘made great progress’ in something I didn’t do and have ‘come a long way’ in learning something I’ve yet to read about. Weasel words for things that neither I nor Johnson have achieved last year.
Of course he would… not the fact the rich have gotten substantially richer, and the poor have gotten substantially poorer…
It’s not even a minor success , it’s a desperate scrabble to find something to even mention
The saddest thing is that there are millions of brexiteers cheering these great achievements, and the three pensioners who still remember ounces and pounds.
That’s a legit reason though. People voted to leave the EU because of lies about bendy bananas and brown faces, this is the sort of territory we are in now. Crowns on pint glasses is probably the biggest benefit of brexit as well as the bananas, god bless the bananas, my bananas after brexit are so bendy or straight, I forget which, it’s a patriotic act buying a BRITISH banana and now I have a room full of brilliant bananas and soon to be pint glasses with crowns on. Crowns like the queen has! It’s like she’s my mate now!!
When I read the title I thought it was a satire. It is not. Jesus Christ, how much more can this nation take!??
Why the fuck would we need to go back to pounds/ounces etc. We have a bit of hybrid system that works, leave it alone!
I am sick and tired of this bumbling fuckwit. Just piss off!
Did he mention why the boosters aren’t astra zenica?
‘World beating vaccine, but we use the others now we can get them’
I wonder, is Brexit still driving an irreparable wedge in families, among friends, generations, and relationships?
This is mere distraction and fiddling while Rome burns. The search continues for the elusive Brexit dividend.
he knows the imperial weights thing and crowns on pint glasses will get a rise out of people, and make the supporters feel smug.
division tactics as usual from joris bohnson.
It’s New Year’s Day so i am not going to say what I think. Of the above
Note the brexit defenders are now focused on “see. The country didn’t fall into the sea. I’ve not had to eat roast rat even once” rather than any actual positives happening.
This is a combination of Boris trolling by saying things he knows will get a rise out of his political opponents, and the Guardian taking the bait because it will always attempt to cast any story in the most pro-EU or anti-Brexit angle it can find.
Though given how often Johnson gets the vaccine rollout lie out, maybe he actually believes that one.
>Brexit sucess
Don’t forget the retention of ‘our British’ Bendy Bananas!
* A Mr de Piffle of Downing Street
“Boris Johnson has named returning the crown stamps to pint glasses and scrapping a ban on selling goods in pounds and ounces on his list of the “key successes” of Brexit this year.”
Taking us back to the stone age, literally.
YAY! We can have crowns on pint glasses and pay even more for a fucking pint. YAAAAAAY! YAAAAY! YAAAY! *gets increasingly louder with repeated yays*
​
What’s next? A mild winter as a brexit success? Or taking a shit without it burning as a brexit success? Or discovering Peep Show and the turkey rant as a brexit success?
Well I for one will continue to sell Pounds and ounces 😉
‘The job isn’t finished and we must keep up the momentum’: Brexit is becoming like the war with Eurasia (/Eastasia) in Orwell’s *1984*.
Totally worth destroying the country for, well apart from Tory owned driveways, we can easily repair those.
Some people seem to miss the whole point; he’s not talking to you or me and he doesn’t care about you or me. He’s speaking to people who drink more beer than water and who are likely to vote for Tories the next time around (even though Tories at the same time end up screwing them over).
It’s just social engineering and manipulation, you tell a certain, target group what they want to hear, knowing of the return on this in the form of increased/ongoing support.
The whole fucking “crowns on pint glasses” thing is an absolute joke to anyone with modicum of common sense – but, yeah, Brexit voters don’t have that modicum of common sense and piffle like that appeals to them very much.
