Well, based on how much the GBP has fallen after Brexit it seems you don't really know what's best for you.

Many reasons for that it's seems people's like you only like democracy when it suits you.

The Pound has risen by about 20 % (against the Baht) in the last few years , it got down to 37 a few years ago

Ignorance beyond belief the younger generation will not be able to get back in EU. 

Do you see what is happening in France, Italy and other member countries that to is a mess.

I have my suspicions that you are from an E.U Country and you want the UK to re-join again  because it is a benefit to your own Country and the UK re-joining will mean Germany is less dominant ?

   You want to UK to rejoin because it will benefit you ?

I want the UK to rejoin because it benefits the whole of Europe (of which the UK is a part), plain and simple.

Of course you haven't and don't. I mean, why on earth would you watch something that so clearly proves your long held beliefs are completely wrong?

An anti-Brexit propaganda video proves nothing.

 

If the world wasn't preoccupied with Covid and the resulting 'cost of lockdown' crisis, plus the Ukraine war, post-Brexit UK would be in a very different position now.

True, for you Brexiteers it would have been a much worse place since you wouldn't have been able to hide behind Covid and Putin.

The weight of evidence suggests that Brexit has had a negative effect on the UK. 

 

Covid and the Ukraine war have had a negative effect on the world's economy, but there is nothing to suggest that there would have been any economic benefits to the UK in their absence as a result of Brexit, or that there will be any benefits in the short/ medium term.

Without thinking about it too much I never as a kid wanted to join the EU. 

So Brexit to me right or wrong it was not about money or business it was about freedom and not having other countries controlling UK.

There was a whole lot more to Brexit than just the economy . 

People didn't vote on the sole basis of what would make the UK richer and be better for the economy .

    There were a whole lot of other aspects involved

If these people were that keen on maximising their welfare payments, they'd be better off starting in France

Maybe that's the answer to the refugee issue. Hand out flyers in Calais informing refugees that France has a more generous welfare system. Problem solved. No more demand for the illegal channel crossings. 

 

Can't understand why the UK government hasn't thought of this?

In what ways are Brits freer now than they were in 2015?

 

The idea that the UK was controlled from Brussels was a myth. The vast majority of legislation originating from the EU was unanimously agreed by all member states. 

 

Between 1997 - 2016, the UK was 'forced' to implement 3% of EU legislation against its' will. Imo a small compromise to have to make and not significantly different to any other member state.

Yes, if the U.K wanted to make a new legislation , we would need  rest of the E.Us agreement before we could proceed , we couldn't make our own legislations .

Therefore, all birds are crows

 

Anyone spot the flaw in this argument?

A duck floats in water [bread, apples, very small rocks, cider, gravy, cherries, mud, churches, lead]. If the woman weighs the same as a duck, then she is made of wood. The woman weighs the same as a duck. Therefore, the woman is a witch?
