Thankfully, no sane person or viable party will open up such a dangerous can of worms by applying to JOIN the EU from scratch, accepting ALL the Copenhagen Criteria, with no opt-outs or special treatment. It would make EVERY GE about Brexit and cause a civil war.
England will be standing alone by 2050.
Scotland and Ulster will leave you. And join the EU.
Former colonies in India and Australia will achieve growth and success you can only dream of.
Reparation will cost trillions.
The EU won't want you back.
You are a broken shell.
Future. Migrate.
We both held cards.
Not easier to negotiate with so many traitors attempting to sabotage it.
Did you expect the UK to be the ONLY nation not affected by food inflation?
Manufacturers are struggling throughout Europe.
Negotiations with Turkey were ongoing until Nov 2016....
Was anything I put a lie?
The negotiations were originally carried out by David Davis arguably the dimmest and most arrogant of MPs.
When he failed it was taken over by Frosty who was an unelected functionary.
All under the leadership of Bozo a lazy good for nothing.
... It was made clear we left the SM - remember all the racism accusations because we wanted to bin FoM. Fact-check it.
The wasteful NHS is receiving a hell of a lot more than the suggestion on the side of the bus.
Brexit was/ is an unmitigated disaster. I don't blame folk voting for it as they were concerned about rubber boats. The Leave Leaders played on this and essentially trotted out taking back control. Of course total bollox. But the gullible bought it.
Without using hearsay, twisted/skewed stats/truths, guesses, headlines, conspiracy theories, & bullshit, can you prove that the ongoing process of Brexit was a terrible idea?
We will NEVER apply to JOIN the EU from scratch, accepting ALL the Copenhagen Criteria, with no opt-outs or special treatment
Which was echoed mostly by leavers. Back then it took me some digging for the source because I heard it only from leavers. It's like Farage demanding a second referendum if the result was less than 60% or so, until the results came in.
The BBC website analysis of Brexit today is all woolly “well there are different opinions and no one really knows the impact for sure”. Total dereliction of duty.
In America it's trending as FAFO, not the Brexit, right now Trump but he is even worse than Brexit. They are making hats now FAFO on it. Not much to argue from the MAGA or remain side
@labouruk.bsky.social have a big majority in parliament enough with the stupid red lines #brexit is a disaster they need to stop being controlled by Murdoch & the media None Dom billionaires and join the customs union, single market. We need our freedom of movement back!!!
The only way NOW is to move. Even IF Britain would apply, it's minimum 10 years to even get considered. And then the question is, if the EU even wants Britain back. Scotland, yes, that would go quick, everyone loves the Scotts and they have Whiskey
Dear Lord Frost,

Even GBeebies appear to be airing people that think Brexit was a terrible idea ... It feels like people are waking up!
The question is, how long until the Gov't catch on?
Sorry, this is the fault of decades of UK parties using EU as a punch bag to excuse their failings, and together with the media never highlighting any of the good things the EU did. I voted remain reluctantly, because clearly those pushing it had no plans. The EU is terrible in many ways too.
never said either were perfect. Clearly both on a massive spiral down economically and politically. Both show no real sovereignty , but now Trump is in the ruling elites of both are truly exposed for the empty suits they are
You mean decades of English parties doing it, as well as the media.
Scotland voted Remain, but was dragged out anyway.
And before you say it was a UK vote, in a partnership of alleged equals, one party can't overrule the other, especially as Northern Ireland also voted Remain. So it's a 50/50 spilt
In fairness how did ye all believe it was going to be a good idea? The rest of Europe knew it was a very very bad idea. This is from an Irish man looking in. After brexit..a similar Irexit started up over here. It didn't last 2 minutes
The world knew this but the propaganda was so strong. Like in all countries where voting happens. Everyone did not vote for Brexit but the people who did - wow
EU fanatics like you are as responsible for the damage as the hardline Tory Brexiteers. We have a hard Brexit because people like you refused to compromise. You are complaining about a problem you helped cause. You are a moralising hypocrite.
Don’t bitch about things getting more expensive to import and that you can’t export because the cost is too much for us, I can’t afford to order from UK anymore.
People in UK was told what would happen financially and still decided to leave, nobody forced you. Kind of like the states now🤷♀️
The EU had nothing to do with it? BRITAIN wanted out, the EU never wanted it to leave. No country had as many benefits as Britain. It's all you. No need to blame anybody else.

Yes. We are no longer part of an unnecessary bloc, where 27 different thinking nations, with many different thinking representatives in the £2bn+ per year EU parliament, attempt and fail to find the ideal relationship, even when using bribery and punishment.
if only the rest of you listened to the people of Scotland - we voted against Brexit, you should have listened to us. Maybe it's time Scotland was in charge of the UK...

You got blue Passports? Thats something? You can't stay in your holiday homes, or indeed living homes, here in Spain for longer than 90 days, twice a year. At least the British residences here were not allowed to vote. Otherwise, no chance, everyone wanted the benefits but not doing anything for it
Everything I said would happen, has happened. I’m not far sighted, I’m not possessed of prophesy and able to ‘read’ the future. I listened to several knowledgeable experts explain simple economic paths that were ‘highly likely’ to be followed. I advised everyone I knew and was laughed at. Dammit!
They do not get far anyway. Being part of the EU is such a benefit, who would be so dumb to throw that away? Alone in the largest trading block around only works when you shit money. Nobody else can afford it. Everyone wants in but Britain needed to leave? Very British humor.
A hugely predictable disaster. Think how we in Scotland feel. Many voted against independence as they were told the only way to remain in the EU was to stick with the UK. 2 years later 62% of us voted to remain in the EU but we were dragged out. Now we are held captive in this Brexit failing state.
If I translate, you trusted colonists to secure your interest ... and you realized that they just cared about their own interest.
How surprising 😅
(NB: it's irony, but sincerely, it's not Schadenfreude. I'm really bad for you)

4/10 Scots voted for Brexit.
Without using hearsay, twisted/skewed stats/truths, guesses, headlines, conspiracy theories, and bullshit, are you saying that Brexit is a success? 6/10 Scots voted against Brexit.
And yet Labour won't commit to rejoining because they're scared of upsetting Murdoch and Rothermere/Harmsworth. Instead they pick on the weakest in society, the sick, the poor, the elderly and the innocent kids who had no choice in being born. Just tax the super rich and rejoin the EU.
If they did that, they also could stay in power as long as they wanted. After all, if the views of the electorate can be ignored in this way, why bother with elections? Just seize power on the grounds that "you know best".
Given what is happening on the other side of the Atlantic rejoining the Eu is a form of self defence. Trump is talking about invading a NATO ally. Time for Europe to pull together in preparation for defence. We don't need another Munich.
To say Labour are picking on the sick, poor and elderly is as accurate as what was on the big red bus. Attacking Labour will mean another Tory government which will be much much worse.
Don't type utter rubbish. Holding them to account isn't attacking them
Deciding to keep the 2 kids policy of the Tories, delving into universal credit claimants bank accounts, forcing the disabled into unacceptable health checks are not progressive. How is that not picking on them?
Sounds like they are making sure money is definitely going to the right people. You can't please everyone. Anyone who is properly entitled shouldn't have anything to worry about. Is it convenient, no, life isn't.
That's absolutely twaddle pal. Not everything has to adhere to US economics and inequality. A supposed left wing party has an obligation to help the poorest in society on this island. Not pander to the worst of the right wing.
They are helping the poorest and the sickest. You might hear about individual cases that are worse of but you're delusional if you think the majority of people who need the most help were better off under the Tories, absolutely delusional.
It's funny. I voted remain. The actions of the EU now leave me reluctant to want to go back. So it's either don't rejoin and accept bring a complete US vassal or rejoin and be ruled by a bunch of sociopaths who will probably kowtow to the US anyway. What a choice!
Why farmers and fishers could not see what was in front of them is one of the big Brexit puzzles. Border controls and buccannering free trade at least had a glimmer of rationale
Suck it up, you all swallowed the anti EU bile coming out of Farage's neoempirical fantasies. Stupid little England kicking the own goal to end all own goals. Pride drove you out and will keep you out.
So, basically, just as bad as the anti-Brexiters said it would be. Good thing Brits finally woke up and dumped the conservative party and put labour in charge. They have a big mess to clean up now.
A pretty good example of the outcome: I've been interested in products from a British company in Britain before brexit. I'm now interested in products from a British company in Belgium.
Also, it routinely takes 3 months to get letters from the UK, still. That one I still don't understand.
Thankfully, no sane person or viable party will open up such a dangerous can of worms by applying to JOIN the EU from scratch, accepting ALL the Copenhagen Criteria, with no opt-outs or special treatment. It would make EVERY GE about Brexit and cause a civil war.
I don’t think we can ever completely understand the consequences of an action until it has been taken. #Brexit was a huge risk and its intention was to protect the power and wealth of those who already had both. I suspect that after initial gains those with power and wealth will lose both.
And none of the liars who, knowingly, pushed the myths (e.g. a million Turks coming to live in UK) have been held accountable. Most now have comfortable jobs elsewhere.
And they'd been in "conversation" for years and made virtually no progress. Turkish theoretical membership was just used by Farage as an islamophobic dog whistle. It'll never actually happen.
The people you refer to were just the loudest mouths. You can't go to jail for talking shit. Of equal importance are those who believed them, and why they did so.
One may be led to assume that an almost one-sided election result gives the current UK government a mandate to act more forcefully & fearlessly on a course correction, of sorts, on this topic. But it would appear the new government too is still election-campaigning... & not yet governing.
Sounds like you had fun there. A Brexit organised loads of mustard corduroy trousers flat caps and barbours I bet a fag and a pint two as well. I am jealous.
Doesn’t really cover the massive impact on SMEs effectively. Is anyone covering the impact on uni numbers and £? The impact on musicians? Brexit did more than hit the numbers.

This rules out Tories and equally, Labour
Problem is, Labour have repeatedly ruled out the return of FoM as one of their incredibly damaging and self-imposed red lines.
You can either spend the next 15 years asking an ideologically opposed Labour Party to return your FoM, or vote for a party that wants FoM returned.

Farage got everything he wanted, and it turned out he lied about everything.
Yet the frog faced racist refused to own his clusterfuck.
The only country in history TO SANCTION ITSELF.
Well done everyone.
Brexit - The ongoing process we are now experiencing.
Soft Brexit (BRINO) - SM/CU membership.
People in UK was told what would happen financially and still decided to leave, nobody forced you. Kind of like the states now🤷♀️

And, so what?
All warned pre referendum but 17+ million (mainly) english wonkers (sic) chose to ignore that and believe lying grifters (mainly) from the far right.
So, suck it up!!! (You can pass (sic) away your human rights next!!!)
Just a pity we ALL have to suffer.
The last 2 weeks have felt like a decade.
Until the felon was elected in the US, that is. 🇺🇸
Sadly I fear it may have been close.

Rejoin ASAP.
But that can be fixed. Because this is coming:

This only worked because much of the voting public are sadly ignorant of the benefits of EU membership.
