Brexit - how well is it going?

[wilts rover]

You must all be so proud:

[tyke1962]

Perhaps Keith will do a better job given it's the only thing he hasn't reneged on .... As Yet !!


Vote Labour

[Iberian Red]

It's embarrassing isn't it Wilts?

[selby]

   Great really, on a personal note financially, share dealing good, property owning good, personal life not so good losing the wife nothing to do with Brexit, and a number on here still seem to have all day every day the time to vent their spleen they lost a democratic vote and would overturn it given the chance, really bad losers who the rest of us can laugh at.
  If your life has not moved on since 2016 and you depend on others to bail you out, you need to start looking at yourself and get some ambition in life.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Perhaps Keith will do a better job given it's the only thing he hasn't reneged on .... As Yet !!


Vote Labour

This. Absolutely this.

Sums up Brexit.

It was never, ever about anything positive for the UK.

It was always about the unfocussed anger of people who wanted something or somebody to blame for things not being how they wanted them to be.

And still it goes one. Here's a person who voted Leave and has never given us a reason why that made sense, hearing the word "Brexit" and immediately reacting by swinging a punch at the current object of his anger.

How long will this go on for?

[Sprotyrover]

Stopped all the undesirable elements plaguing Europe pouring in without having to ‘Paddle’ across the pond that alone has saved you £ Billions, have a walk around Abbot street and Spansyke Street,Hexthorpe if you don’t know what I’ m on about , if you Wokey lefty confused about your sexuality  types  find your Cojones that is!

[bpoolrover]

If i asked the same question and brexit had not happened you would still get the same answers on most of the questions due to covid and the ukraine war

[keith79]

Democracy. What a bummer

[tommy toes]

The majority voted for Brexit, because they were led to believe the country was in a sorry state due to all those pesky immigrants, rather than the batshit Austerity policies of Cameron and Osborne.

The likes of Farage and his cohorts and self interested far right Tories  and the Daily Heil/Express did the rest.

I don't know Billy , why don't you ask Jon Cruddas ?

The demographically Brexit voters is clear to see on this thread,along with the reasons they voted for it.

That’s exactly the dismissive, ignorant thought process of many remainers that led to leave winning the vote in the first place.

So vote for a party that will reverse it if you feel that strongly about it .

If that party wins an election on that ticket then that's fair enough , it's called democracy .

And this is precisely the kind of trope used by Brexiteers attempting to mask their embarrassment at their gullibility in believing all of the lies told by Farage and Johnson.

 Yep, Farage and the Brexit party did exactly that, but were not given the chance to carry their promises through, that remained the power of the two main parties, one led by a communist who sat on the fence while his party pulled apart with quislings like stabber blatantly lining up with some Tories canoodling with the EU to overturn and make it as difficult as possible the result being a success.
 And the educated idiots left leading the Tory party jumping ship because what happened was not really what they wanted or expected.
  Very few areas that were suffering before Brexit are any worse off now than they were before, the mainly woke majority down south they are because most were living a good life on the never never and then the banks decided as in other periods the 1980's especially we can sting them with the interest rate, its just a repeating generation thing, entice them in then sting them.
  So Farage told porkies and promised the Earth, Like Heath with the EU membership Maastricht and Lisbon treaty, the second vote in Ireland promising hell and high water if they didn't vote stay the second vote, and Blair himself wars and education education will save us all while slowly setting up his portfolio for his own family, and his wife in the swim with them over in Brussels setting the agenda for the rest of us for years to come.
  Get real, everything fed to you is a sound bite you can fornicate over or hate, while just the few make the real coin. Whichever party you follow they just give you the speal you want to hear and the minimum of support if you fall into trouble and if you do well they want their percentage for them to rule with your money but use it in a way that they benefit from.
  All Farage did was appeal to more people than wanted to stay in the EU, the vote being taken 10 years too early because the generations who had been led up the garden path With the Lisbon Treaty and the Maastricht treaty were still alive and  were not going to fall for that sides lies again.
  Put all that together, and the fact that the face publicly of the stay  brigade in the media were either posh boy pricks or stuck up women MPS from both main parties especially  who gave the impression the working man was to wipe their boots on and were uneducated idiots an idea I think some remainers on here carry on to this day, there is no wonder they got their faces slapped and dicked from behind.

Nope,me neither.
Apart from another one throwing what he believes to be insults around without having a clue what woke means.

Dismissive and ignorant eh?
So your saying a fair and balanced argument by both sides led to places like Boston voting 80% for Brexit and other deprived areas in the North like South Yorkshire not far behind.
Despite the fact that we were due  multi billion pounds of investment from the EU over the following years, which we ditched for a bunch of false promises.
I Think it's you who are ignorant.

I’m saying it’s dismissive and ignorant to say that the majority of leavers voted because they were led to believe that immigrants were responsible for the sorry state the country was in.
Incredibly so.
By the way, I never said you were ignorant, just that particular thought process.

[tommy toes]

Then why do you think Boston voted 80% to leave?
Do you think they exclusively made their own minds up or were they influenced by the barrage of anti immigration messages by Farage etc, with the added cherry on the top of how much better it would be if we stopped all these foreigners coming in.

My apologies. The egotist in me thought you were replying to me. I'm going to try being a bit less narcissistic in 2024.

[belton rover]

That’s a good question. 80% is much, much higher than the 52% overall. That suggests to me that there was an element of there being a stronger anti immigrant feeling there before Farage et al came along.
