More Brexit nonsense

So much for Boris and his nothing changing lies
Got to fill in an API to go to Holland now ,it seems.
When will the Brextremists realise we signed a pup of a deal for purely racist reasons

I thought you voted to leave the EU? Apologies if I’m mistaken.

[Siderite]

He did do a thread where he said he had some regrets because of how it panned out.

[64]

I did vote leave

[Deereyme66]

And now you’re complaining frequently about it causing you problems???

[64]

Why shouldn’t I,? They did a bad job of it and went into negotiation in bad faith.I have every right to complain

[Heath]

Did it never occur to you that voting with right wing Tories, Farage’s crew and the nutter from Luton was a bad move?

Surely it’s not remiss of someone to realise they were wrong? We should welcome people changing minds rather than stubbornly cling to what is seen as a wrong viewpoint. Otherwise we can’t make the best of whatever situation we face and we’re left with intransigence on important issues.

No,I thought that the “party of business” might actually protect bysinws when all the dust settled.I have despised thexEU since my teens and was glad to finally get out as wevecduscussedca myriad teams,even putting up with being labelled racist by lefty ,so called moderates.Blair using EU as an excuse to let manufacturing businesses die didn’t help my mood in my adult years

[Deereyme66]

I didn’t say it was remiss of someone to realise they were wrong. Personally, I wish those that did vote leave stop complaining about the effects of it on their lives now. You voted to leave, deal with the consequences.

That barely makes any sense IMO.

Is that because you thought it meant leave things as they are/were?

I know someone who genuinely thought that was the case!

New year, same familiar trend….

Two-thirds of Britons now support future referendum on rejoining the EU as leave voters become disillusioned with the “taking back of control they were promised.

I always found the ridiculous screams of brextremists that it’s a democracy so we should leave , yet won’t countenance more democracy,

[Gurnelista]

Strange, isn’t it, how hardly anyone wants to mention the B-word now. Maybe it’s because everyone knows they’ve been well and truly ‘had’ by the likes of jonnie-ten-names and his dad, but most are too proud to admit it.

Stewart Lee tries to make sense of what happened…

This Brexit madness will only get worse, unless Labour do what the Tories always do. Win an election and then rip up the manifesto.

Hope the correction helps

That’s a rubbish situation regarding supply problems for DFS due to Brexit. Potential supply problems were one of many many issues raised by Remainers as strong reasons not to leave the EU, but we were labelled snowflakes, unpatriotic, project fearists, etc by Leavers, including those on the left. Many Remainers, including myself will have appreciated the economic / trade advantages of being in the EU when we were young and in later years, and many of us didn’t just assume all Leavers were racist. It works both ways.

[Siderite]

Don’t forget it was all part of Project Fear, which has all been proven to be false, according to some Brexiters. Either that or Brexit was never really about that, and they accepted the economic shortcomings for sovereignty. Which would be a fine argument if the Brexit campaign didn’t run on how everything like this would be so much better off out of the EU.

Snowflakes lol,oddly the biggest crybabies are the ones who coined the term.
I don’t have some extraordinary life or whacky import needs so my problems must be pretty common place

Hearing lots of stories along these lines.

The argument I used to get from the leave brigade was that it would force manufacturers to source materials from British companies, thereby boosting our own economy rather than Europe’s.

The problem here, of course, is that a) There are no UK companies producing those goods, or b) they are too expensive. So as a consequence businesses are shipping in cheap, low quality goods from the Far East and elsewhere.

As I have said before I know a delicatessen owner who can only get genuine produce from the country of origin. Immediately after the Brexit deal the cost of his orders went up by 30%.

Like most of the perceived “benefits” of Brexit the reality is completely different.

People in EU states watching the UK and seeing what a lousy job it’s making of leaving? Like it was ever in doubt. Pity so many were duped in to thinking Brexit was a good idea.

I once spoke to a Dane who said that many in his country, which had the second highest polling data for leaving the EU after the UK in 2016, saw UK as a cautionary tale and leaving is far less popular now than ever. We hear from Brexiters that the EU is faring worse and not stable in response to criticisms of Brexit. Yet the citizens of these countries think otherwise.

“The argument I used to get from the leave brigade was that it would force manufacturers to source materials from British companies, thereby boosting our own economy rather than Europe’s.”
More to ad regarding DFS,the frames are made abroad and the materials imported too,deliveries have become a problem so staff are set idle waiting for frames so they can sew the suites and cover them.
They are,in thus case,setting up a factory now to build,not sure yet who’ll man it

[Heath]

“We hear from Brexiters that the EU is faring worse and not stable in response to criticisms of Brexit. Yet the citizens of these countries think otherwise”.

And didn’t Farage, the Brexiteers and some on here tell us we would be the first of many to leave.

World beating idiots.

[Deereyme66]

I think a few did say that, yes. Bear in mind though, one was probably Big J!
