[Politics] Brexit

[Mental Lental]

Sorry but I reserve the right to call people whoe voted for Brexit thick/gullible or greedy.

In spite of all the evidence telling people Brexit would not only fail to deliver what they were hoping for but would be an unmitigated disaster and leave millions of people worse off, they voted to leave.

That’s the behaviour of a thicko or someone who stands to gain from other’s suffering.

And I’ll bloody well call it how it is whether it upsets the brexity snowflakes or not.

Yep. There really is no excuse other than the adjectives you mentioned. At the time there was this misconstrued idea that there were two "sides" and both had equal merit and deserved to respected in "debates" and discussions. Stewart Lee had it right in how the thick, gullible or greedy (and don't forget the racists) would dress up their language in a vain attempt to justify their stance. Although he amalgamated being "thick, gullible and greedy" into a different word:

"I am neither a racist or a c**t, just someone with genuine anxieties about ever closer political ties with the EU".

f*** it I'll post the whole thing here. It doesn't make up for the clusterfuck that is Brexit but it offers a little catharsis nonetheless.

it called inflation.

It's odd how many of the people who support most of the public sector going on strike for big pay rises/sticking it to the Tories, never seem concerned about inflationtionary pressure .. but when people on generally lower wages finally benefit from big pay increases thanks to Brexit its a bad thing/inflationary.

Also worth remembering that the UK inflation rate is a bit lower than the EU average. Unfortunately the main causes of dramatic increases in inflation (covid/Ukraine) across Europe have masked this undoubted Brexit benefit.

It's about time we weened ourselves off a completely unsustainable high immigration, low wage, low productivity economy

You completely misunderstood the graph you posted.

Seems to me we’ll eventually end up back in some sort of relationship with the EU to prevent a total disaster. Just on much worse terms than we had before. A triumph! And completely predictable from the outset.

The best (well worst really) Brexit related headline I've seen recently is than Polish and Slovenian households will be better off than the average UK household from the end of the decade. Just what Vote Leave envisaged in 2016 I'm sure

There’s always some much talk about the UK bring the 5th largest economy in the world, but the reality is we’re about 25th in a GDP per capita basis. The poorer half of our nation already have living standards on a par with the former eastern block.

We’re fast turning into a middle income country with some rich people.

Ever since the vote I have refrained from calling Brexit voters thick / gullible, mainly because I have viewed them as victims a media largely controlled by foreign interests and didn't think it was helpful.

However, those that are still clinging to the carcuss pretending somehow this situation is in the interests of our nation must a bit thick or just lying to themselves, or in the case of some client journalists or politicians just downright devious. The latter need to held to account

The denial will subside as the older generation dies and a younger generation become less tolerant of seeing our Irish friends have all the freedoms. Until that time we will be making the best of a bad situation, this rebuild can only start with Tories gone for a decade plus.

I think you have missed the bit about the criminally Tory government’s push for Brexit and subsequent fuckwhittery in handling Brexit et al.

If you are going to try and highlight what our friend 'the bringer of truth' has missed, I think you may need a bit longer than I've been on NSC

My personal favourite from that particular contribution is

Because a high wage, low skilled, even lower productivity economy is definitely the way ahead in a 21st century economy. He really is the gift that keeps on giving

i didn’t want to set the bar too low knowing that Dogbotherer or whatever he’s called would just lower it further.

Don't forget our increasing reliance on Food Banks and In Work state benefits and what does that say? A failing nation...oh apart from The Few.

Eurozone inflation has dropped again but how do countries compare?

Eurozone Inflation has fallen again for the third consecutive month but it's still fuelling a cost of living crisis. Which countries are being hardest hit?
