They voted leave, no mention of deal or no deal. They have exactly what they voted for. If anyone thought for one second that the lot they voted for could pull off a favourable deal they really didn't do their homework.Did you vote Leave hoping for No Deal?
Usual response from the Brexiteers that dragged the rest of us into this shit show.It is what it is, I’m past caring.
For a lot it was about immigrants, that can't be denied.I find many of these comments to be odd. For most ordinary folk Brexit was never about trade deals, the economy and business, it was about sovereignty, and self determination.
Which the UK already had.I find many of these comments to be odd. For most ordinary folk Brexit was never about trade deals, the economy and business, it was about sovereignty, and self determination.
But ask any of those to identify any particular EU law or explain what sovereignty meant to them and they couldn't answerFor a lot it was about immigrants, that can't be denied.
Initially, it was for me. Ive nothing but admiration for anyone who uprooted and moved to another country, if they did it legally. The rules said that they could come, so they did nothing wrong. Ny issue is with the rule that instigated it, hence I voted leave. The bottomless supply of cheap labour keeps the low skilled competing for shit jobs, and their wages low. Undeniable.For a lot it was about immigrants, that can't be denied.
We should have been asked when the French, Irish and Portuguese were. They were told to vote again and vote differently, and they did as they were told. History now suggests that we would not have.There is more than immigration to sovereignty but the posts about the appalling performance of our government on immigration is very fair comment. That the shit show of a government blamed much of this on the EU and was believed by many at the time was sad.
For me and for many others it was the overbearing attitude of the EU and the increasing control that they sought to exert over all things British that was the deciding factor for me. That said, had we a government with a spine prepared to stand up to the UK from Maastricht onwards, things could have been ver different, but we didn't, we had a succession of governments intent on selling us into a federal Europe.
Our manufacturing died a long time ago. What's left it mainly foreign owned.This is why we had to get out astley.
As a nation we are not suited to a united Europe in any form, we know that and I think the EU know it too.
Short term they want our money, longer term to emasculate us economically so that we are not viable as an independent nation.
