You need to rejoin the EU above all to be part of our ever closer union.

Prosperity is only a consequence.

stiggylou.bsky.social•65 days ago

Yes, but then we wouldn’t be able to institute special economic zones to benefit wealthy people.

Sh1t, just checked my bank and discovered I’m not wealthy.

misterdac.bsky.social•65 days ago

Ha !!!
Me neither !

Tourism is suffering because of the Image of London as a violent and dangerous city filled with asylum seekers. Nobody wants to risk their lives to tour buildings in an unsafe city.

Abolish the monarchy

Paris has more tourists than London and look what they did to their monarchs.

viscountpontypandy.bsky.social•66 days ago

The only thing the royal family are good for is themselves!

Versailles has more visitors than any of the UK Royal palaces and they’ve been deposed/dead for centuries

mrrobertbob.bsky.social•65 days ago

The royals are very good at collecting rent. 🙂

Following JRM'S Prophecy. The full Brexit benefits won't be realised for 50 years.
Well now.
45 years and 315 days +/- a few left to find those Elusive Brexit benefits.

Will I live till I’m 106 🤔

dpp7541.bsky.social•65 days ago

Why would you want to. 3 score and 10 is your lot. Any less, Sorry. Any more we'll done you.

Which is weird because doesn’t France get much more tourism? I was a fan of the queen. Very meh now. Think maybe Charles should be last monarch.

lizwebster.bsky.social•65 days ago

It’s another British myth.

ghostoftomjoad78.bsky.social•65 days ago

Another benefit 👍

The last time I was in the UK, most everyone I met on the trains told me how stupid vaccines are. I got Covid sitting on said trains.

bradkieser.bsky.social•66 days ago

We sure do.

pointlessmusings.bsky.social•66 days ago

15m people visit the palace of Versailles every year and the French got rid of their monarchy rather spectacularly a while back.

lizwebster.bsky.social•65 days ago

Exactly 👍

paulette7.bsky.social•65 days ago

Absolutely!

stan-dring.bsky.social•66 days ago

Well at least we won’t be needing that third runway at Heathrow.

jak-writes.bsky.social•66 days ago

So, can we get the EU back - which made the country fairer and better off - and dump the unmeritocratic absurdity that creams billions off even the poorest of us for their personal gain?

renzelen.bsky.social•66 days ago

The current Royals are good for nothing at all.

mickrab.bsky.social•66 days ago

The pharaohs are good for tourism, but we haven't seen one for 3000 years.

😂👌

honestdrjohn.bsky.social•66 days ago

We could also abolish the Royal family. That woul
Be much more economic (and constitutional) use than Brexit.
Mind you, Anne Frank's drum kit was more use than Brexit.

nomafs.bsky.social•66 days ago

Now is a great time to rejoin the EU. Brexit was a mistake. Just admit that and move on. Unite to protect yourselves from this new US/Russia camaraderie.

nigelldcouncillor.bsky.social•66 days ago

True this!
