You may recall I was/am a remainer that didnt jump on stupid apocolyptic "project fear" nonsense, and nor did I believe the fantasy sold by Farage.

This is the creep creep stuff I was worried about. Its now harder, takes longer, (customs), and more expensive to enjoy a weekend trip to Europe. (or watch a football match) Sommet millions just took for granted for decades.

For what?

To detach ourselves, our children and grandchildren, from an overly arrogant unelected bureaucratic body that will eventually pick a fight with Russia…and that’s just for starters…..

I personally liked the 'they didn't feel welcome anymore;..

what a crock of crap. We are losing HGV drivers back to Europe for one simple reason... they can now earn more money in Europe than in the UK. The company i work for has lost 18% of our workforce since our summer shutdown. They simply haven't returned from the EU. When contacted they gave us 2 reasons:

A: Money
B: They no longer wish to leave their families after the Pandemic.

So... how has Brexit afftected them 2 reasons?
