Just 9% of British voters think Brexit has gone well, poll finds

  • Yeah, the CAP has required reforming for 40 years. I'd given up hope way before they spent all of our net contribution on poorly implemented and failed biodiversity policies, according to the EU's own auditors.

    The CFP is also a cluster fuck that's based on fish quotas to satisfy boats, not fish. The bycatch and discards are a decades long failure. The herring population is about to collapse as a result, and over 10k dolphins are killed each and every year.

  • Condensation nuclei are tiny particles upon which water vapour condenses in the atmosphere, meaning they’re essential for the formation of clouds.

    "Overall, our findings suggest that high-altitude microplastics could influence cloud formation and, in turn, might modify the climate," the scientists wrote.

    How might it modify the climate? I thought cloud seeding was a proposed geoengineering technique to mitigate climate change?

  • Sure, we should have stayed on the single market, there was no need for any disruption

    But there was no way out of the environmental disasters that are the common policies without leaving the EU.

    But, Tories gonna Tory

  • Really? The CAP sucks up the largest slice of the budget and rewards rich land owners to pollute

    Remainers were the most deluded, thinking they were already in the sunlit uplands, when in reality they were just giving up sovereignty for pet passports and mobile roaming whilst 25k lobbyists in Brussels shape policy and decisions at the top are made in secret

    Edit. lol downvote away, no karma censorship bollocks here

    Facts > feels, most of you don't even know how the EU works, and given an actual chance to do something revolutionary cowered like chicken littles because of a threat to Thatcher's neoliberal single market?

    Imagine voting for the status quo, lol.

  • Sure, a lot of Ukrainians travelled through Poland to other places though. Why can't the countries in the region do it with the support of NGOs?

  • Pro Lexit: this is just about to get started

    Why would any sane left leaning leaver believe the right would deliver a left leaning brexit?

    The added benefit is crippling the Tories for at least a decade, plus all the scalps already taken:

  • They don't. The oil price is set in the futures market. The threat of a widening conflict could affect production so the futures price is increasing as a result of that possibility.
