The one single benefit of Brexit, was giving birth to an online community. :ffsparr:

Might be something to do with this type of thinking at the heart of our Government: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-46142188

Well, that's not the question you posited. You said: And, to that point, I say we certainly always had 'some sort of democratic input'. To your new question, i.e "remind me when we last had the chance to directly effect [sic] the UK's relationship with the EC/EU [sic]." and I say the 2015 GE.

True. Still at least our indigenous birds won't be able to eat any foreign foods anymore, every cloud and all that.

Should you not feed "indigenous birds" food from Sweden, or any other country for that matter?

So we don't have control of our waters, is this for real?!

Brexit voters have absolutely zero regrets to date and will continue to do so indefinitely.

Pretty much sums up one wing of the Brexit vote IMO (and the main one that led to the vote in the first place).

Thing is, Thatcher, whatever you thought of her politics, was a person of integrity.

He must’ve worked really hard over his first weekend to make sure this was fit for issue :lolol:

He also will be able to extend the transition period with relative ease.
