From the parliamentary Committee report I have linked; One of the great promises of Brexit was freeing British businesses to give them the headroom to maximise their productivity and contribution to the economy – even more desperately needed now on the long road to recovery from the pandemic. Yet the only detectable impact so far is increased costs, paperwork and border delays.” Wriggle away. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Righty-o 14 minutes ago, Chomper Higgot said: No it wasn’t. The delays and increased paperwork due to Brexit are knowable by businesses subjected to those delays and increased paperwork. The war in Russia is not increasing paperwork and delays in shipping to the UK’s largest foreign market, the EU COVID (already slipping into history) is not increasing paperwork and delays in shipping to the UK’s largest foreign market, the EU wriggle away 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a ridiculous qualification. A supermarket would only need one customer to not be ‘completely empty’. But do not despair. UK Gov and the trade associations publish trading data. We can rely on that rather than ridiculously qualified questions or equally ridiculous claims of ‘own observations’. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh for Pete's sake. I have no idea if all UK supermarkets were full over Christmas ???? On second thoughts, I give in ????️ Have it your way. Every supermarket in the UK was full over the Christmas period. Your experience is all the necessary and sufficient proof needed for any proposition.

The article even mentions people picking up last minute items. I said it before, not EVERYONE in the UK is poor, there are plenty of people who can afford Christmas. But there are thousands / millions more that can't. How you continually gloss over this is amazing. Well, it's not, as your pattern is constant deflection. You see people in a supermarket = no poverty in the UK. You see houses with no lights and you assume people are sitting in the dark to conserve energy. RayC and others give eloquent responses and links, you just deflect, give worthless anecdotes and don't respond to any direct questions. I am sticking with Stewart Lee for Brexit, he has it spot on. (Google "Stewart Lee Brexit" to see it). In all these pages you have done nothing to convince me otherwise.

Political gain. Nothing more, nothing less. Just like BJ who was an ardent supporter of the EU until he had a shot at leadership when he dropped his principals like a brick. And let's not forget Patel played the immigrant card but supports racist policies that would have prevented her parents from emigrating to the UK had they been in force at that time.

Fire away and ask and I will respond I have, several times, and you come back with deflections and anecdotes about your supermarket. But since you asked: 1. Has poverty increased since Brexit? 2. Has food bank dependency increased 14% since pre-Covid (and pre-Ukraine war - the other get out) or not? 3. Have UK exports decreased since Brexit? How many exporters have gone out of business? 4. Has the removal of freedom of movement negatively impacted our children and younger generations? 5. Has there been one single positive of Brexit? Please name it and explain it. In real terms. Not just "in the future it will be better" as this is nothing more than promising fabled "sunlit uplands". Give a concrete example of how we are better off. Not "removing EU tyranny", not "freeing ourselves of the shackles of faceless bureaucrats"; give a real, factual benefit of how anything has improved without using rhetoric. 6. Did the leave campaign lie and mislead the public? We can start with the bus in your earlier picture. Don't want to flood you with questions so we can start with those. I look forward to your promised responses. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
