I was always aware that we would need to trigger Article 50 of LT and then there is a 2 year period of decoupling. I'm sure some didn't know that though.
Just like there were plenty of remain voters who didn't know that the European Court of Auditors refused to sign off the blocks finances for the 21st time last year. And that worse still the EU's accounts were double even the worst case limit. No reforms were put forward about how to fix this, none. All these noisy, pious remainers won't discuss that the numbers (euro144bn) or the institutional reasons it couldn't sort this out. That's our taxes (not the net receivers; OURS, D, F, Benelux, SE and DE). Where were all the noisy bandwagon remainers when year on year these figures came out. Nowhere, their mates were doing well, directly or via qaungos.
Wht was more than 3.6% of payments to landowners (remember CAP) ripped off? why couldnt the spineless eurocrats root this out?
Why was the EU so keen to fund airports where there was no demand, loads of money down a bottomless pit. Eurocrats were laughing as being far removed from revenue sources just couldn't get their pants pulled down.
It's not unusual for EU projects to mislay 50% of expenditure. Are we talking about Brussels or Berberati? (sorry CAR didn't mean to slur you be comparing with EU).
The EU was criticised not so long ago for it's '7 year stretches', it takes 2-3 times longer than national governments to change responding to outside developments, on paper it should be quicker, but it isn't.
I was out campaigning for leave, when some remainer (weren't called that then) came and gave me a ball of abuse ("Your racist, a fascist etc") and told me that if we left the EU, then animals would suffer as 'we didn't have our own animal welfare laws'. I wanted to get into a debate, but when someone slurs you it isn't worth it. So I just asked him if he realised that the EU, in the Basque region (lovely area btw) alone, the previous year had given euro15m to protect bullfighting? As usual he seemed to know all the good the EU (or is reported to do) and little of the wastage or immoral expenditure (cultural it may be, but the locals need to fund it if it suits them). The silly sod should see farming in Bulgaria or Romania to see how the EU isn't helping animal welfare where it needs it.
The EU really isn't up to it. I wonder how many ardent remainers can name the Commisioners without rushing to wikipedia? If they could name 6 and what they actually do, I might listen, but it's yet to happen.
