No more TPD in the UK?

Sod the EU, and sod the TPD. Let's just hope this doesn't sod the UK.
If it's true, as I saw in one article yesterday, that vapers in the US could decide the presidential election, I think it's entirely possible that vapers had an impact there as well. I did see someone post on Twitter that there is a strong argument for suggesting so. Don't know any particulars though.
It should give reason for politicians to start paying attention to "I vape I Vote".
I think what is laughingly called the UK Government will have a lot of other things on its mind rather than concerning itself with vaping regulations right now!
I'll be surprised if the regs change.

So this means London vape shopping trips are a go? At least that means hardware will still be available, albeit at a high price. This will be quite the double edged sword. An island of sanctuary in the face of collapsing stock markets.
There can be polling and analysis and estimates of how vapers might have influenced the vote. I hope they were decisive because the next battle appears to be here in the good old US of A.
Vaping has turned me into a single issue voter. I'm disallusioned by the FDA response to vaping. I will vote to remove any party or politician, local or national who doesn't stand up now for vapers even if the opponant has the same veiw. If I have to be miserable I want company.
What's ironic is I'm not doing this for me. I'll be stocked up for a long campaign. I feel compassion for all the smokers who deserve the same chance I got. Helping other smokers make the switch has been a good experience.
We are not yet out of the EU. That won't happen until two years after Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty has been invoked and THAT won't happen until the next Prime Minister is in office. And there's no guarantee that they'll do that immediately.
The TPD is still in effect as it was ratified by the British government back in April before being implemented in May.
At least the TPD is not as onerous as the FDA. Still, that 10 ml size limit does mean lot of filling of big bottles from little bottles to keep the clutter down.
This will remain on topic (as in related to the TPD and vaping). Start in with the politics that has no bearing on the topic and it gets moved to a more appropriate venue for those types of discussions.
I heard it speculated a while ago that 80% to 90% of the EU regs would remain in place, as the price of Britain being able to go on trading relatively freely with the rest of Europe. As far as vaping goes I've read that the driving force behind the EU vaping laws was heavy manipulation behind the scenes by the Pharma industry, and that's not going to change as a result of Brexit.
Being hopeful, maybe now it will be a little easier for the RCP and other pro-vaping bodies in the UK to drive a less onerous implementation of the vaping rules. I hope so because I'm planning to retire there some day. On the other hand I was planning to land in Scotland, which might end up making its own bid for freedom and jumping back into the EU.

I said long ago that I wanted the vote to be for exit but that the majority should be small enough that we can put up our hands and say "It's the vapers wot won it" and the margin is almost close enough, so I'm going to be saying it anyway.
Some people may have based their vote purely because of the TPD. But that doesn't mean they are vapers. The TPD affects smokers too. That doesn't mean i disagree with you at all though.
I'm entertaining the same fantasy.
Us vapors are nothing but a minority, I doubt we have much impact at all in such matters.
Also, I'm sorry to see you go England, we had a good run together while it lasted.
Bon voyage, mon amis.
Curious to see if the Scots will succeed in leaving Britain so they can remain a EU member though, I hope they will. Maybe they can even take over the country if they join forces with the Irish!

If Scotland did become independent we would have to apply to join the EU and they might not even let us in. that is if Scotland wants to be in the EU
