And yet NSC's most ardent Unionist has always claimed that they knew exactly what they were voting for when they voted Brexit. Apparently it was a Sinn Fein majority that they knew they were voting for

Brexiters have literally been running the country for the best part of a decade. They have nobody to blame but themselves for it not working.
My thinking too seeing his input elsewhere
Just to clarify, you believe everyone in the UK is working hard to make Brexit work?

We're more interested in which member you were before. That's more fun. Joined and made a beeline to the BREXIT thread.
You're not ? No, surely not ?
You didn't see my first initial posts in other threads?Pay attention.

Interesting post. How is the responsibility of other countries to "make Brexit work" ?

That's an obvious tactic that a poster would use. And, unfortunately, beyond ignoring such threads, we have few options other than to pay attention to you. Try to forge an extended argument and stay on point, and then you might get some respect.
I am sorry to say this, but this sort of response was always an 'oven ready' excuse for Brexit supporters. They will say whatever is necessary to preserve the 'rectitude' of their beliefs regardless of the facts. You can explain why it was always a daft idea to them, but you cannot understand it for them.

Looks like your spellchecker has changed the word “cult” for you
They’re fast becoming like the communists, point out the problems with it and they say “ but true communism has never happened, it’s been undermined from within”.

Another day on the Brexit thread, and another reason why Brexiteers should not have voted leave. And still no sign of anything that would even slightly support their decision.
The few Brexiteers left clinging on by their fingertips, are now trying to diminish or dismiss the fruit and veg shortages. Meanwhile, there's hardly a vegetable to be seen in the Brexit households. Well, not on their plates anyway.

So a third of our current record Food inflation is directly attributable to Brexit non-tariff barriers on imported food.

Not to mention what Brexit has already done to the British agricultural industry with producers no longer being able to produce sufficient food efficiently due to the ever increasing costs, or subsidise their production with exports. The main reason behind a 20% increase in imported food in the last year.

And all this, just in time for us to introduce our new import controls later this year and to drive more shortages of imported food on the shelves and even higher food inflation.
It really is the gift that keeps on giving, and nobody is prepared to do anything about a situation getting progressively worse by the month other than whine about it
Brexit Caused a Third of UK Food Price Inflation, LSE Paper Says
Britain’s post-Brexit trading arrangements formally began in January 2021. Since then, food categories with a high reliance on imports from the EU such as meat and cheese have seen price increases “in the region of 10 percentage points higher relative to similar products not exposed to Brexit,” the LSE paper found. The authors said Covid and the war in Ukraine did not affect their findings. “The fact that the results are driven entirely by products with high non-tariff barriers imported from the EU offers strong evidence that Brexit is the driving force behind these effects,” they said.https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-05-24/brexit-caused-a-third-of-uk-food-price-inflation-lse-paper-says?leadSource=uverify wall
