Israel is interfering with the elections... @jgoodguy , @O' Be Joyful , @Hannibal


France’s cybersecurity agency has accused the Israeli tech company BlackCore of interfering in the Scottish elections earlier this year by targeting the first minister, John Swinney.

Viginum said BlackCore had focused its operations on municipal elections in France but had also targeted the mayoral elections in New York, won by Zohran Mamdani, and other countries such as Togo and Angola.

UK has saved 9 billion a year from its exit of the EU, it different trade deals around the world have increased share price in UK buiisnes by 28% dwarfing the EU rise in same. Uk still imports the same volume as it did to the EU,its just imports to the EU more than it used to. And it was not done to make money but to restore parliamentary supremacy. There is no doubt that you have zero grasp on anything you post about.

UK has saved 9 billion a year from its exit of the EU
No and yes... I now know what confirmation-bias silo you are in... To rebuke your claims... very selective gains...

The UK did not simply save $9 billion by exiting the EU. While the UK saved roughly $9 billion to $10 billion in net fiscal contributions annually by no longer paying into the EU budget, these savings have been heavily offset by the "divorce bill" and significant losses in trade and economic growth. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Here are the specific details regarding the financial impact of the exit:

  • Gross vs. Net Savings: The UK’s gross contribution to the EU before the exit was much higher, but factoring in the UK's negotiated rebate and the funds the EU spent back into the UK, the net fiscal benefit of not paying the membership fee is estimated to be around $9 billion to $10 billion a year. [1, 2, 3, 4]
  • The Exit Bill: Upon leaving, the UK agreed to a financial settlement (the "divorce bill"), which HM Treasury originally estimated at up to $40 billion (\(\pounds30.2\) billion) to cover outstanding EU liabilities and pensions. By the end of 2023, the UK had already paid a net amount of \(\pounds23.8\) billion to settle this bill. [1, 2, 3, 5]
  • Economic Impact: Independent economic analyses indicate that Brexit has significantly damaged the UK's economy. The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) estimates that leaving the bloc reduced the UK's productivity and GDP by approximately 4% compared to remaining in the EU. [1, 2, 3, 4]
  • Long-Term Forecasts: Because trade barriers and supply chain friction depress economic growth, most economic consensus suggests the long-term annual losses to the UK economy outweigh the savings from no longer contributing to the EU's annual budget.

The 28% figure likely stems from a specific metric—such as UK service exports to the EU, which grew 28% above 2019 levels in real terms, or specific market reactions following individual bilateral deals like the US-UK tariff agreement. [1, 2, 3]
However, broader academic and economic analyses do not universally support the claim that "global trade deals have dwarfed EU growth." The general trade impacts and market performance show a more nuanced picture:

  • Trade Flow Volumes: Post-Brexit, UK goods trade has generally lagged, with various studies indicating that overall UK goods trade with the EU is reduced. By contrast, the EU remains the UK's largest trading partner, accounting for roughly 41% of UK exports and 50% of imports. [1, 2]
  • Market Sentiment: Trade agreements (such as the UK's tariff deals with the US) have indeed triggered temporary boosts and positive market reactions for UK businesses, helping them navigate a volatile global environment. [1, 2, 3, 4]
  • Macroeconomic Growth: Comparing GDP growth since the pandemic, the UK and the Eurozone have performed similarly, with Eurozone GDP growing roughly 6.6% compared to the UK's 6.0%, although the UK has outpaced several individual European nations like Germany


The UK's trade deficit with the EU has grown significantly since Brexit, as UK imports from the EU rebounded to historical levels while UK exports to the bloc have structurally declined. [1, 2]
A closer look at the data highlights the exact dynamics of UK-EU trade:

  • UK Imports from the EU: Following an initial drop after 2021, UK import volumes from the EU have largely recovered and now account for about half of total UK imports. In 2025, the EU accounted for 49% of UK imports. The UK generally runs a persistent and substantial overall trade deficit with the EU. [1, 2, 3]
  • UK Exports to the EU: UK export volumes to the bloc have dropped noticeably. Recent estimates indicate that the volume of UK-EU trade is down by about 20% compared to a no-Brexit baseline, with exports bearing the brunt of the reduction. As of 2025, the EU accounted for 41% of UK exports, reflecting a long-term reorientation of trade towards non-EU markets. [1, 2]
  • Asymmetric Trade: This gap largely stems from market size and friction. The EU makes up a much larger share of the UK's total trade than the UK represents for the EU. Consequently, British firms face steeper challenges in maintaining EU trade links due to the regulatory hurdles, form-filling, and border checks.

The British want back in the EU....


Majority support for rejoining: Among all Britons, 52% think the UK should apply to join the European Union, while exactly a third (33%) think the UK should stay out. The remainder say they don’t know or would not vote in a future referendum. Among likely voters in a future referendum, 58% would vote to rejoin and 37% would vote to stay out. This amounts to a 61% / 39% split once don’t knows are removed.

Brits want all sorts of things in opinion polls, dont mean much.

Iposos also has polls showing capital punishment favoured by 75 to 80% of the Uk population, thats not on any major parties manifesto for bringing legislation through the first parliament they sit in, just as no major party has re joining the EU now of in the future asa part of its manifesto or political vision for the future, so for it to happen a party with it has to win, it then has to have a magority in Parliment big enough to get it passed through all the chambers, then it goes to a national referendum and the people vote on it.

You gov which is the Goverents polls, this year, show that regoining the EU without all the Brexist demands being granted, then voters intintion in regaining membership without those demands, EU drops to 35%

Breakdown when racism raises its ugly head if you look at this: Schengen passport-free zone and adopt the Euro.

The British public strongly opposes joining the Schengen Area. While recent polling shows a clear majority of Britons support rejoining the European Union, that support plummets when voters are told they must give up previous opt-outs like Schengen and the Euro. [1, 2, 3]

  • Rejoin Support: About 55% to 58% of the British public would vote to rejoin the EU in a hypothetical referendum. [1, 2]
  • The "Schengen Catch": Support drops sharply to around 35% when voters are reminded the EU would likely require the UK to join the Schengen passport-free zone and adopt the Euro. [1, 2]
  • Voter Opposition: Under a scenario requiring full EU integration without the old opt-outs, opposition to rejoining jumps to 43% or more.
