Archive link for those of us in the customs union.
Uh oh 😳. It’s Wes Streeting whom we all hate because of NHS. But he wants us to rejoin the Custom’s Union. Fuck! How do we choose? Will it be a path to rejoining or will it be in fighting and dogma? 🫠😜.
It’s corrupt and subject to political capture. It’s beyond reform

We are out now and have replaced it.
European countries are some of the least corrupt in the world so I imagine the EU is probably not very corrupt compared to countries outside Europe.
Anyway I guess we’re not going to agree. If you want the UK to remain out of the EU, I think that’s a valid opinion. I think that ties with Europe can benefit the UK although I recognise it’s unlikely that the government will make any steps towards rejoining the EU any time soon.
It’s not just the corrupt CAP. It’s the piss poor implementation of policies that wasted our ENTIRE net contribution to the last budget we paid into.
65 fucking billion.

I don’t know lots about the CAP to be honest. Anyway I guess we will just have different views on the EU. There probably are lots of flaws to the EU but I like the idea of Europe working together in principle.
You should. It takes the largest share of the EU budget. We could be helping Ukraine, not wealthy landowners.
I like the idea, but reality is reality.
At least with an oil company you can trust they will be cunts.
The EU is supposed to be better. It isn’t.
