Aye I am anti Brexit but it doesn’t help the cause when every fart that leads to a follow through is blamed on brexit. Makes a fairly easy rebuttal and weakens any arguments that are actually based on fact.

"How has Brexit affected the value of sterling?
Since the Brexit vote in 2016, the exchange rate of the pound against other leading currencies has fallen significantly. This seems to reflect a generally negative outlook among international investors for the UK’s economic prospects outside the European Union.
At the start of 2021, the pound was approximately 15% weaker relative to the euro than it was on the eve of the referendum on the UK’s membership of the European Union (EU) in June 2016. Sterling was also 20% weaker than it was when the EU Referendum Act received Royal Assent in December 2015."

No it’s definitely Brexit mate. Brexit is causing the USA inflation to go ever higher and is almost certainly responsible for grain not getting out of Ukraine and to the world. In other news Brighton and Hove’s Green Council, who abolished the use of weed killer, said that Brexit was responsible for the amount of weeds growing on their pavements……
Can we just say Brexit hasn't helped this entire mess the Country is in Pete, or have you still got your starry eyed everything is perfect under Johnson view ? Serious question has Brexit been a success for our Country in your view, if yes how ?
Here’s a question for those who voted leave , if we rejoined the EU tomorrow what benefits of Brexit would you miss ?
The £350m for the NHS...oh wait a minute.
Think you could be waiting quite a while for a Leaver reply.
Honestly mate it’s not supposed to be a trap… I am genuinely interested.The £350m for the NHS...oh wait a minute.
Think you could be waiting quite a while for a Leaver reply.
