Ah yes, the "EU extremists" punishing plucky little Blighty for having the temerity to leave by turning Glorious Brexit(TM) into a disaster that nobody could have foreseen. Bastards. 🤣

"Between 2021 and 2023, the study calculated that UK goods exports to the EU were down 27% and imported goods were 32% lower than where they would have been had Brexit not happened." (BBC 17/09/2024)
"Comparing a central scenario to one in which the UK stayed in the Customs Union and Single Market, by 2035, Cambridge Econometrics projects:
* GVA will be 10.0% lower [...]
* The UK will have 3 million fewer jobs [...]
* The UK will have 32% lower investment, leading to lower output." (Jan 2024)
That's a disaster by any reasonable metric, especially given that nobody (not even His Highness Jacob Rees-Mogg and the collective readership of The Sun) can identify a single Brexit benefit. And I haven't even mentioned rivers full of shit.
The original post was claiming UK and EU cooperation was undoing Brexit!
This is not the case. Imv, the russian crisis is proving that we can still work very well together when there is a will to, but the extremists don't want that proved.
The fanatics want everything to be viewed as a disaster.
