Thread Name: BS: Brexit #3: A futile gesture?
Subject: RE: BS: Brexit #3: A futile gesture?
I'm sure there are other things but I must admit liking this little synopsis
Since Brexit negotiations began...
...the EU has
ended roaming charges
banned hidden charges for paying online
given free rail travel to teenagers
funded thousands in medical research
protected workers' mobility rights
adopted the Anti Tax Avoidance Directive
improved food standards
reached trade deals with Japan, Singapore, Vietnam, Mexico, Australia and New Zealand
I'm not sure where that was copied from, or whether it was made up on the spot. I've just checked a couple of the points for accuracy:
...the EU has
ended roaming charges
This should be 'limited roaming charges to the roaming charges you pay in your home nation, with limitations' Here There can still be additional charges if you use the internet above a certain level.
...the EU has
given free rail travel to teenagers
This should be 'given 30 days free rail travel to 18 year olds' details: Here
Usual remain tactics of make enough statements and hope the gullible will take them all at face value.
