Don’t forget it was all about sovereignty for everyone, right from the start. Which is why they often focussed their arguments on economic booms and opportunities from Brexit.
Oh, and it’s ok because you should see how bad it is comparably in Germany and France, who are much worse than us, in the EU bloc which will crumble any day now:

‘Sovereignty’! Ha ha!! Someone on BBC News listing the reasons she voted Leave can’t even pronounce it properly. What a joke.
I don’t want to be too snobbish about it. I can understand the sovereignty argument. At the same time, there are many who have portrayed it solely as such when they made economic arguments themselves, and hide behind the sovereignty canard to dismiss any economic concerns, which I find risible.

It’s always worth reading what the BBC has to say on Brexit and this is from the website today:
“There was an initial dip in the amount the UK exported to the EU. Once teething problems were dealt with, trade volumes, recovered to pre-pandemic levels, according to official figures. But it could be argued trade might have grown more if it hadn’t been for Brexit.”
It might also be argued that trade might have fallen had we remained.
All you lot are doing is the usual nonsense based on confirmation bias. In reality we have no idea and claiming “experts” know the answer is also pure nonsense.

It’s all well and good Bucks trying to argue that trade volumes may, or may not have recovered. But that’s akin to saying things are the same now as on 31/1/20.
The country has lost £40 billion in that time and GDP is down by 5.5%.
Some price to pay for what we had before eh?
Let’s hear about something we didn’t have before. You know, a benefit. Like that extra £350 million a week for the NHS!

In 3 years we have thrown away an open trade agreement with our nearest markets, lost the right to live and work across Europe, threatened the peace and hard-earned stability in Ireland, caused mass labour shortages, crisis in the NHS and as NI points out seen decline in a range of industries and services.
All because the Tories couldn’t stand up to the nutters and tell the British public that tax paying hardworking EU citizens were good for local businesses, services and the wider economy.
And the madness continues. This week Cruella Braverman said the priority was to stop the boat people or the Tories would lose the election. Wrong priority and wrong reason why!!
Stop releasing murderers and rapists early from prison with no supervision, sort out legal routes for asylum seekers and process them in weeks not years. Other countries manage this and end up accepting far fewer for permanent settlement than the UK does.
Set of lazy, useless gobshites.
