Possible expansion

[edit]

I started to write: The slogan was expanded to "take back control of our borders, our money and our laws". The first referred to rather more to freedom of movement from the rest of the EU than to goods imports: two years after Brexit, nothing has been done to advance the latter and expensively built clearance facilities at ports lie unused. The meaning of the second is unclear: the UK had a permanent opt-out from eurozone participation. The third referred to EU regulations and directives, misrepresented in the popular press as "orders from Brussels" despite being UK civil servants' participation in their drafting and UK Ministers' authorisation for their release. But it lacks citations and the will to live. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 12:53, 16 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I completely agree that this article is in need of some expansion, and agree with what you've written here (although as you say, the difficulty is finding the right sources to back up claims like this). QueenofBithynia (talk) 15:35, 16 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalized thumbnail

[edit]

If you hover over the name of this article in any other article, such as 'Glossary of Brexit terms', the thumbnail/preview is gore. This image precisely: (WARNING, GORE) https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Necrotizing_fasciitis_left_leg_debridement.JPEG

How can this be fixed? There is a noticeable trend of such behavior happening across the whole site. Zacoste.fr (talk) 22:16, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Can you raise it at Wikipedia:Village pump (technical), please? The cause is not anything obvious. --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 10:17, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Never mind, I've raised it (Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)#Strange and irrelevant pop-up image. (Trigger warning: gory)).
