Good point, so the beneficiaries, as you would expect from a Tory Brexit, is the City, the bankers and big business, while ordinary people suffer the negative consequences.

More 7 figure banker bonuses while the peasants choose between heating and eating.

As with everything Tory flavoured, it will always be scyphoning the wealth from the poorest to the wealthy

Meanwhile, still no sign of Moggy's millions moving his money back to UK, he's still backing the EU. For him Brexit was just a sweet Irish dream

It's almost as if Brexit has finally descended into it's rightful place as a far-right/far-left circle jerk

Who would have guessed [emoji38]ol:
Yes, we are stuck in a circular argument as our exports spiral down the plughole. Somehow the government has to try to find ways to cut the Red Tape created by Brexit in order to be competitive again. If only there was an obvious solution ?

The thing I find amusing is that we are left with the two posters from their self proclaimed extreme left and right positions, as the only people on NSC still desperately trying to support Brexit, albeit in their own somewhat peculiar and convoluted ways.

What happened to all those other Brexit supporters who voted in the Poll that appears at the top of every page on this thread ? They all seem to have run away from the complete clusterf*** they were frantically and energetically singing the virtues of for years throughout this thread, offering no suggestions whatsoever to try and alleviate the pitiful state that their newly claimed 'sovereignty' has left the country in :facepalm:

Most have deserted those accounts for new ones completely while the few that are still on the main board on the same accounts proudly announce 'I never go in the Bear Pit, it's pointless'. Of course you don't, since it has become blindingly obvious how stupid the things you claimed Brexit would bring on this thread. I particularly like the way they moan about this corrupt Government and the rocketing cost of living elsewhere on the board with absolutely no idea how they have contributed to these things :dunce:

And of course, you're right. The solution is still as blindingly obvious as it was 6 years ago :shrug:

The thing is that a Brexit which included a Trade Deal to stay in the Single Market could have worked.

The problem is we were given a hard right friendless Brexit ( one can only assume by nefarious design ).

Bloody Worthing!
I don't check in here very often these days, but am I right in thinking that PPF is pretty much the only Brexit fan-boy that still shows up? Reminds me of one of those Japanese soldiers found in the 1970s on far flung Pacific islands still fighting a war that was lost a long time ago.

Baker lite got banned again ( no idea for how long ) and not much sign of "Johnny 4 accounts" at the moment. That pretty much only leaves PPF out of the prolific cheer leaders.

There is the very occasional 'contribution' from Ppf's 'only true socialist' buddy cunning fergus :lolol:

Chronic food industry worker shortfall could force prices even higher, MPs say

Chronic worker shortages in the food and farming sector as a result of Brexit and the coronavirus pandemic could push food prices even higher and lead to more having to be imported, MPs have warned. Parliamentarians on the environment, food and rural affairs committee reported that the sector had half a million vacancies in August last year, representing an eighth of all roles.

The huge labour shortages in the food industry have led to unharvested crops being left to rot in fields, the cull of healthy pigs on farms because of a lack of workers at meat processing plants, and disruption to the food supply chain, as well as threatening the UK’s food security.

But I see that our friend and Brexit saviour JRM is insisting that it's not because of Brexit :facepalm:



Meanwhile, you have all those Brexit supporting posters who were all over this thread claiming how wonderful it was and what all the benefits would be, now noticeable only by their complete absence. They still appear active on the main board though moaning about the Government and the cost of living crisis :shootself

A lying, incompetent government and a 6.1% inflation rate rapidly rising monthly, How on earth did that happen :dunce:

Arrived at Victoria station today to find a mini-demonstration in favour of the EU and promoting a “lively” debate with assorted passers-by!

Not sure if they’d not realised we’d already left or were just Libdems advocating re-joining (at least the single market), which I understand is their current policy.

Pro-EU though I am, we’ve all got to move on and I think the Libdems policy is likely to see them wiped out at the next election or two.

If we did try to re-join, we’re hardly likely to be welcomed with open arms and we can forget the various opt-outs we’d negotiated.

#sigh!

I understand your wish that we have to move on, but what do we do about the unimplementable Irish sea border in order to move on. Truss's latest view on it is to instigate article 16 moving us right back to renegotiating Brexit FFS :facepalm:

We can take the economic hits to all our various industries, take the hit on the increased the costs to all British companies of everything they export, actually finally put in place the import procedures we are meant to (and not keep on kicking it backwards into 2024 and beyond), even if it does mean putting the infrastructure and staff in place to do this, our shelves going a little bare and yet further increases in the cost of food and all other Imports, we can let the food in the fields rot and the pigs get slaughtered and burnt due to the lack of workers, send the costs of living through the roof for the ordinary British people.

But the Northern Ireland situation is still as completely unresolvable as it was the day 'Call me Dave' put down the dead Pig's head and decided he had a great idea for papering over the cracks in the Tory party :shrug:

I have never understood exactly what this means, although it 'trips off the Brexiters' tongues'. Perhaps you can enlighten me.....

Trigger article 16 then you can stop moaning on a Internet forum
