The image on the right has had it’s colour manipulated.

Once infected with anti-vax / anti-public health fever then there really is no cure.

Projection being firmly planted on the right.

But the UK didn’t have to leave the EU to issue ‘Blue Passports’. Arguably the only tangible BREXIT benefit was not actually a BREXIT benefit.

Perhaps some of the £350,000,000 per week should have arrived on the BREXIT bus by now. Put that towards wage increases to keep NHS staff in work rather than having to strike to get their pay to keep pace with inflation. Brexiteers will of course support this, increased wages for working people was a claimed BREXIT bonus. Of course nobody really expected working people to get a pay ride out of a Tory Government without fighting for it. Next up: We can’t see the benefits of Brexit, they’ve been wiped out by strikes. ‘Jam tomorrow’, ‘warm sunlight uplands’ just over the horizon. Meanwhile UK food price inflation hits 13.3%, of course workers are demanding wage rises that keep up with inflation, they have families to feed, clothe and provide a home for. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/jan/04/record-133-uk-food-inflation-raises-fears-of-another-difficult-year

I think it was meant as a compliment. It certainly comes across that way.

I’d advise a little more humility, it’ll leave space between what you think you know and what you decidedly do not.

The DOJ are on it. Jack be nimble, Jack be quick.

Which might make sense were it not for multiple polls indicating the public are moving away from Brexit support. If people thought the UK should remain outside of the EU they would not be supporting another referendum, they’d simply say it’s done and dusted. Stop pretending otherwise.

I suspect it’s something to do with BREXIT being a Pyrrhic Victory. To bastardize Plutarch: ‘One more victory like that and we’ll be ruined.’

BREXIT, that ‘great British victory’ the ‘victors’ don’t like talking about.

You m an there is no update. If that gives you comfort that Trump will not face Justice, let that be enough for now.

Be patient. If I can be, so can you.

So what does the poll at the top of this thread tell us?

Show us the way, point out a few tangible benefits that mark the path.

And the data keeps backing them up.

UK, highest taxes in decades and rampant Government corruption.

That was then, this is now.

I was about to post a comment on the other thread along the lines of ‘Somebody has noticed the elephant in the room’. Which is clearly the case. Public opinion is moving steadily against BREXIT, the outcome of which needs to be brought to where it belongs, in the center of UK political and public discourse. I believe the recent trickle of articles discussing BREXIT’s obvious failure will only increase, and public opinion will increasingly follow. At some point, I suspect sooner than later, politicians will get over their fear of discussing the observable fact that BREXIT is damaging the UK. The silence of politicians on this issue is, to my mind, an indication of just how disconnected politicians have become from the people they are elected to serve.

Why do you think people want another referendum?

I’ll remind you, it was you who wanted to ignore the economic element (an aspect of BREXIT consequences that impacts everyone). But I welcome any evidence of tangible BREXIT benefits, perhaps ’Control of our borders’, then again, perhaps not.

No worries, other polls are available: https://yougov.co.uk/topics/politics/articles-reports/2022/11/17/one-five-who-voted-brexit-now-think-it-was-wrong-d

Straw grasping.

Let me know when the trend in polls reverses from its current direction.

? The mind boggles. Oh I get it, let’s ignore one of the most, if not the most, important outcomes of Brexit.
