100% - it’s stuff even as basic as when the effects of Brexit started to appear. Somebody was trying to argue with me that Brexit was completed in January whilst technically true. The uk has withdrawal, it was still in a transition period whilst the TCA was negotiated so in practice was 12m later

Off top of my head the EU is in a customs union with turkey too just not THE customs union
Obviously smaller in scope and therefore less financial benefit to the uk

Not to nitpick but Norway etc aren’t technically members. So it’s not technically true you need to be member of the EU just a member of one of the lanes the EU established

Because they’ve centralised the news teams. BBC World Service is now terrible too because of this, broadcasting to the world an interview of the winner of Traitors a show only viewable in the UK

And that doesn’t change fact many had to make a quick decision to move to a country to lock in those benefits and then feel trapped in a way they wouldn’t have had Brexit not happened during pandemic or if the uk hadn’t been in the EU so they wouldn’t have already been planning accordingly

Needs to be a fundamental shift too. Needs to be a partnership rather than a transaction ship

There is a difference between knowing and being able to. Many of us when we finally were able to didn’t know a pandemic would strike in the year we’re were going to use to explore which country to emigrate to nor that Brexit would still happen during that pandemic

Many Brits to get WA status realised they had to make that sudden move and just hoped it would work out

Well we kind of are in this moment because if you move you lose the WA rights, some of which mean things such as degrees are auto recognised. So it’s a BIG BIG move which cannot be as easily reversed like before
Rest of world were already in that situation so probably would have planned it but

For sure 😀 just know many who are unhappy bc they had to move somewhere, Covid forced hand for where it could be and realised
It wasn’t a good fit but can’t exactly move either
They understand why but it’s no less depressing. And frustrations when Brits at home see them as having escaped effects

The fact is prime ministers and their governments regularly ignored the courts on rulings regarding air pollution

You can try to do a VONC but normally due to the voting system it has to come from their own party who won’t want to trigger it lest they lose power
Only option is the courts and so far government has respected rulings in matters of constitution if only because they haven’t found a loophole for it

But the prime minister can both stuff it with whoever they choose since he doesn’t have to listen to the committee who reviews their appointees. But also you can spam the lords as there is a convention that they don’t block a piece of legislation they’ve had to read two times in the same session

The system is bunkers. The monarch can dissolve parliament but won’t because they aren’t elected and worry about protests. So they follow advice given to them by a council some of which whose members are picked by the same prime minister they want to scrutinise. The lords can also scrutinise
