I was gonna engage honestly, but can’t be arsed with that type of BS. Have a good evening.

No probs. I should have said remainer MP’s….but never mind……

Brexit wasn't founded and won on lies. It was founded and won on hope and in defiance of a rival campaign that was founded on fear, big money and globalisation that belittled people that had been entirely crushed by that consensus e.g. Greece, Italy, shall I go on? Anyway none of that is relevant.

Boris doesn't excel at lies at all. If he did he wouldn't have been found out for them. He actually lies because he is lazy to do the work. I have a pretty low opinion of Boris, but don't actually agree with what you wrote. Boris is pretty good at the people stuff and he was very successful because he made people happy, proud and hopeful. There's no way he could have got votes from all the different types of people, in roles he's had any other way.

The reason the parliament dislikes him is actually because they fear him.

No thanks.

We officially left the EU at the end of January 2020. That is a matter of fact. That’s why we could do our own thing in terms of getting vaccines etc, etc……

We could anyway

Going full Trump is a terrible idea

Sensitive material, huh?



Odds on. Never grew out of it. Actually feel sorry for him.

I think that’s a fair point Prev, and while I don’t know of anyone who has been negatively affected by Brexit, and I really do know an awful lot of people, I’m sure that there must be some for whom it’s introduced problems. It would be good to hear on here those that have been affected and in what way……

I've been negatively affected by Brexit...I lost unfettered movement within the EU.

My grandfather and aunt both have cancer and they talk about the staffing issues affecting their care.

Mark Carney in the DT today has said high inflation is due to Brexit. So that's millions affected.

That's another economical with the truth statement.

Vaccine approval isn’t quicker because of Brexit – Full Fact

The MHRA could have given the Pfizer vaccine the same emergency approval when the UK was in the EU.

Thr lack of remorse from brexiteers is really quite insulting, I know many who were fooled by Johnson and have admitted as such, that's fine, an honest mistake is no problem. But, those that won't even acknowledge what their vote has put the people who they are talking to through is genuinely appalling behaviour.

A lot of them will be dead soon, and without a shred of remorse or thoughts for their grandchildren’s future. Imagine being that self centred/arrogant.

I know mate.

I know some farmer/agricultural/fisherman types who voted Brexit for issues around their industries. They all feel as betrayed as we do.

Did you used to work in the EU or are you just talking travelling, both of which can still be done. But have you even looked further or wider one of my sons lives and works in the USA, one lives in the far east but works full time in Saudi Arabia. There’s a big world out there but U.K. folk still work in the EU and travel around the EU, I’ll grant you though that the EU have tried to make it as difficult as possible.

Genuinely sorry to hear about your relatives, I am seeing similar problems, but it’s about time that the U.K. and EU countries started using national staff in the NHS and stop stealing it from poorer countries. The U.K. still allows immigration from pretty well most countries on Earth, including the EU to work here.

The Mark Carney statement will no doubt be debated by a range of far more economically and fiscal experts than myself. However the BoE, which he used to run is picking up its fair share of blame for allowing far too much money to enter the economy. Covid required a furlough scheme to keep families solvent, it required grants to businesses to keep them solvent, money was printed. I remember you saying about housing…banks inject too much money into lending offers, house building is nowhere near keeping pace, people borrow and push-up the price of housing, inflation literally goes through the roof. To cool the inflation BoE raises interest rates, mortgage rates go through roof, mortgages get pulled, sales decline and house prices fall. Cost of living goes through the roof. These pressures, inflation, bank rates, cost of living have always been around and are happening across the whole of the western world. But let’s blame Brexit…..
