Happy anniversary. We gave enjoyed some big wins from Brexit despite a Uk establishment resentful of the decision to leave and keen to blame any mistake they make on Brexit.
We are now an independent country. We cam make our own laws and set our own taxes. We now need a government that will do that.
We are now saving £17 bn a year of taxes we had to pay to the EU, after paying them too much to get out owing to feeble UK negotiating.
We can control our own borders. Large scale migration from the EU has stopped. Governments have angered many voters by not controlling legal and illegal migration from the rest of the world, as we can do.
The UK has greatly boosted its trade since the 2016 vote, leaping ahead in services to second place in the world after the US. We can now sign trade treaties like the TPP which contain helpful service sector clauses. The EU did not help us with that.
The UK is no longer liable for EU debts. The EU is currently increasing borrowings by a massive Euro 800 bn.We have enough state debt of our own without adding that burden
The UK was able to go it alone and produce the first vaccine against covid.The EU programme did not produce its own .
The UK has taken VAT off some green products and is now free to cut other unhelpful VAT impositions,
The Uk has cancelled a lot of import tariffs, helping UK consumers.
The UK is free to cut the gross burden of EU laws. Time to get on with that.
10.EU technology policy is to regulate and tax US companies whilst failing to innovate and grow tec businesses itself. The UK can have a better regime to promote home tec and work well with the US majors.
- We can now take control our fishery, give more permits to UK vessels, and ban the ultra large EU industrial vessels to conserve more fish.
