So, as usual, when Brexiters complain about EU laws, they are not able to cite any to substantiate their came.

How are any of them any use to SME's in the UK now?

But there aren't any rewards and never could be.  Brexit promises were a series of lies and exaggerations that could never be realised.  But more people believed the lies and therefore Brexit won the vote.

 

So the politicians can keep flogging a dead horse to try to save face but it won't do any good. Immigration is way up, both legal and illegal, the NHS is on it's knees (remember the bus?) Dover is grid locked most of the time with twelve hour queues, the price of food is through the roof, inflation is off the scale and interest rates are rapidly heading for Armageddon.  Oh and let's not forget that  the EU laws we abided by before Brexit are all still firmly in place.

 

The only way that the Conservatives can survive the next election is to clear out all the nodding dogs, admit publicly that Brexit was a massive mistake and start negotiating a way back in.  The EU have said we are welcome back any time.  If Sunak doesn't step then they are probably done for and none of us want to end up with Starmer in Downing Street.

SOS different year.

Inane cobblers. Treason would have been a word to use if the vote to leave had been ignored.

EU judges quash Remainer hopes of scrapping Brexit deal

The EU’s top court rules that loss of rights for UK citizens cannot be blamed on the Council of the EU.
It’s another cold shower for the anti-Brexiteers. On Thursday morning the EU’s top court dismissed the latest long-shot Remainer dream of turning back the clock on Brexit.

The old cliques are the best, have you used the 'they were too stupid to know what they were voting for' yet, it must be time to drag that one out.

Indeed. There's no doubt that there's a degree of truth in that as many now admit.

Way too early to make any judgement as to whether Brexit has failed or is a success. 

Hmm. Try telling that to those who have lost their businesses or jobs, or been split from their family.  Can it get any worse?

So when would be a suitable time to make a judgement? What criteria would you suggest using?

I am currently in the UK visiting relatives and I can tell you that whatever that article says, the economy is NOT thriving post Brexit. Food is unbelievably expensive, most households are struggling to get by. My son who earns a very good salary says he can no longer save any of it due to mortgage interest increases and skyrocjeting fuel and food bills. Inflation is outstripping wage increases ( if any)  and anyone who isn't a millionaire is finding life increasingly challenging.

Brexit is a continuing disaster - hundreds of small businesses closing as they can't export to our nearest and biggest market due to the paperwork involved and the increased cost and duration of transport, others because they can't get workers from the EU any more.  Meanwhile the number of immigrants has actually *increased* - so much for the much vaunted  "controlling our borders" slogan.  

Yeh this is because of Brexit .  Maybe better off in an EU country … oh maybe not ????

If that was the case, a U.K Political party getting elected on the "Re-join the E.U* party line , why have none of the Political parties took that stance ?

   Labour have rejected the idea of Re-joining the E.U , why don't any of the smaller parties run with that policy ?

   For better or worse, the U.K has left the E.U and moved on and getting on with it and will not be re-joining anytime soon

Well, since the trend of public opinion seems to be heading towards rejoining the EU, why not wait and let it gather more strength?

Another member who's a Brexit supporter recently claimed that we would have to wait 50 years to know whether it was a success or not!

Would have thought job losses more to do with COVID restrictions that lasted 2 years.

Don't see how Brexit split any families.

Brit economy seems stronger than most of the EU countries.

Inflation is rampant everywhere.

Interest rates have always been 6-8%, if you were stupid enough to buy a house believing 1-2% would continue, I don't have much sympathy.

 

As far as I can see the only negative effect of Brexit (for the general Brit population) is it's harder to retire to Spain or France.

 

PS.

I'm not a Brexit supporter as I wanted to live in France, and now I can't.

Because businesses in the UK need to comply with EU laws, regulations and standards when doing business with the EU.

 

If the UK Government does not apply those laws, regulations and standards then the UK businesses trading with the EU have two options:

 

1. Submit to EU inspections and controls in order to trade their goods and services with the EU (additional cost and delays)

 

or

 

2. Cease trading with the EU (loss of business).
