Brexit = single biggest mistake

Brexit was and always will be a disaster, but as alluded to it's not a single event. It's been a long time in the making by a group of libertarian people intent on removing any responsibility the state has for citizens of the country. They want the rich to do as they please, corporations given free reign and the welfare state dismantled entirely.

Politicians of this country turned over the economy to banks and financial markets decades ago. They allowed them to do whatever they wanted and while doing so lots of them become very rich. The lent money to anyone and created a false reality that the country was rich and economy booming. It all came crashing down in 2008 and that was the start of the 8 year process of libertarians isolating Britain. Tory Austerity was the perfect breeding ground for making millions of people lives worse. The Bedroom Tax, Two Child Policy, Foodbanks and Local Authorities decimated meaning crucial local services and support were removed.

Six years of Austerity meant by 2016 lots of people were becoming increasingly frustrated, sick and angry with life. Vote Leave basically created a Good versus Bad situation and created the false impression the EU was the bad guy. This played perfectly in the minds of many in England. After all, the country has told itself the same myths for decades. We're the good guys and if fighting anyone else they're bad.

It still astonishes me that intelligent people voted leave in 2016. I know many switched on smart people who believed all the b***ks about Turkey, the NHS and Sovereignty. I bumped into a lad in the pub a couple of weeks ago. He was an ardent Leave Voter in 2016 and gave me loads of abuse at the time for explaining why the country should remain. He admitted to me that Brexit was rubbish and he wished he'd never voted leave, or been so vocal about it. I suspect many people are feeling that way these days.

That's just the problem though isn't it? It's not the past, Brexit isn't done and it's only going to get worse.

This week that **** Jacob Rees-Mogg introduced the Retained EU Law Bill. All retained EU law will be automatically repealed in a little over 12 months time. Including workers rights and environmental protections amongst many others. It's a bonfire basically.

If anyone thinks the government will replace all these laws as they are (or with improved protections as the particularly heavily brainwashed have previously claimed), they need their head examining. Not to mention the ridiculously tight timescale. Even if they did want to replicate most of them they wouldn't have time. They're trashing them all now in case labour get in.

Sorry if people who voted leave or "just wanted brexit done" aren't happy about this stuff being pointed out, but it's very real, very current and will effect everyone. And was always a very real risk of how brexit would play out, and how a Johnson government would handle it. It was pointed out very clearly at the time but people didn't want to know.

Well they're going to hear about it now, because it's largely their F***ing mess. And they happily dragged everyone else into with them, many gloating about it at the time (we won get over it).

Instead of burying heads in the sand they should be furious about how they were conned (and to be fair many are) and kicking up a stink about it.
 
My parents who are in their 70's admitted to me yesterday for the first time that Brexit is a disaster for this country and they bitterly regret voting for it. I was very proud of them yesterday, almost like a proud parent in reverse, weird that.

If i were you I'd confiscate their old age pensions. Harsh but fair.

The way it was done, and by whom, is the telling story. It was financed, populated and organised by the same people who later put Trump in the White House.

“ While lawmakers could not determine if money changed hands between Leave.EU and Cambridge Analytica, documents show the company performed data analysis for the campaign, and Aggregate IQ was paid to microtarget voters for other pro-Brexit campaign groups. Leave.EU and Eldon Insurance, a firm owned by Leave.EU funder Arron Banks, were fined a total of $150,000 earlier this year for data breaches during the campaign, amid ongoing U.K. investigations.”

Lots of people don’t really know what the hell they were hit with.
This explains most of it.

Before Trump, Cambridge Analytica quietly built “psyops” for militaries

New evidence shows how the parent company of Trump’s campaign firm built its influence arsenal in secretive work for the U.S., the U.K., and NATO.

100% this. As you can see by the scope of the pro Brexit “argument” it’s fact free zone of insults, deflection and outright lies

Which was why I mentioned Brexit voters will soon loose their s””t when they realise what rules have already been changed with regards to immigration which in turn has an impact on the Tories who are going to play the same Brexit voters at the next election

The only change in immigration rules that has stuck is the one that says Brits can't travel freely in Europe.
 
For me I'd say brexit was a terrible decision, but locking down was equally as devastating and between the 2 of them we have crippled this country for generations. I can't chose which out of the 2 is more devastating, perhaps for longevity its brexit but lockdown was certainly a very poor decision which certainly caused the "first" energy price spike, throw in the quantitive easing through printing money to pay for furlough and you have a recipie for disaster. However we may have been able to cope with all this had we been part of the single market!!!

Has anyone seen last year’s immigration stats 🤔

I don’t think the Brexit voters have fully realised yet 😮

Just wait until they find out how much the economy actually relies on immigration and immigration isnt actually the reason we are all getting poorer

There is no comparison between lockdown and brexit. Who know how many lives were saved during the first lockdown? And subsequent “lockdowns” were nothing of the sort.

Compare that to a wilful destruction of the UK that is brexit. A process based on lies, bigotry and manipulation of the electorate. The people who masterminded this staggering con trick should be in jail for the misery they are causing.

Everyone else also had lockdown. Do you see them suffering in the same way?
