I’m not fussed if there are any benefits as I voted on a fundamental basis that I didn’t trust or believe in the EU. However the government published a document on what they believe are the benefits.

had a quick look

this one stood out for me

remember the bus slogan that said £350M a week into the NHS, which no sooner than the results were in was dismissed as bollocks by Brexiteers?

well

£57 billion more for our NHS. We are spending more money on our NHS. By the 2024–2025 financial year our yearly expenditure on our NHS is projected to be £57 billion higher in cash terms than we spent in 2016 –17, or over £1 billion more per week.

so 1 billion a week

so actually 3 times higher than promised

amazing if that's the case

Ensuring our iconic British products all get the recognition they deserve, through our own domestic Geographic al Indication (GI) regime. British products from Stornoway Black Pudding to Scottish Salmon, Conwy Mussels to Welsh Lamb, Armagh Bramley Apples to Lough Neagh Eels, Melton Mowbray Pork Pies to Stilton Cheese and many more, are already protected.

ok this one

Tackling criminal activity. There will be no safe space for criminal content online. If something is illegal offline, it is illegal online. Our new Online Safety Bill will ensure that platforms have to quickly remove terrorist material or child sexual abuse and exploitation and will not be allowed to promote it in their algorithms. 

is that a brexit benefit? was this something that was allowed to slide when we were in the EU?

now we have left, will platforms like twitter or facebook remove terroism or child porn more quickly when we tell them to?

i'm pretty sure no platform promotes such content in their algorithms

Journalist: "Elon, now you've take over twitter what are your plans moving forward"

Elon Musk: "more kiddy porn in the EU"

We have ended freedom of movement and taken back control of our borders with wholesale reform of our visas, asylum and border control systems

[Zico]

This is a hugely exciting time for our country, one filled with potential and opportunity. We will seize the incredible opportunities that our freedom presents and use them to build back better than ever before—making our businesses more competitive and our people more prosperous and more secure. The bolder we are, the greater the gains will be for us all. And—as this document demonstrates —this is a government that possesses the ambition and determination the UK needs to succeed now and for many years to come.

Even Bolty has deserted them, but he's lurched even further to the right, and reckons he'd vote Reform

Absolutely no doubt about it. It's the only option.

Tony Blair. The point where a large portion of the current problems started.

I've only read their plans for Healthcare. 

It looks like a PowerPoint presentation I'd put together if I had an hour's deadline. It's also got typos in it and inappropriate capitalisation which is my pet hate! 😁

I won't respond in kind to the condescending cunt. He should be grateful for Reform as it might well deliver a prolonged success for "his party" until the day that the Conservative movement becomes one again. That may well involve a large amount of chopping and changing and even the potential end of the Conservative Party as we know it.

No one remembers the Whigs.

Some of their policies are a bit ridiculous to say the least, and totally uncosted. I suspect Bolty likes them because they get airtime on GB News and he's seen their immigration policy, if he'd take the time to read their policies, he'd see how they're just, in the main, spouting soundbites.

Suspicion and knowledge are two different things.

The question was “do you think it’s gone well” well it has for some and not others, what else would you want me to say.

I really don't know why you bother mate. Bitter losers will remain just that.

I mean generally mate. Everyone's bills are higher, there are more migrants if that's your issue, NHS is on its arse..etc etc.

Brexit hasn't made these issue any better like it was supposed to. 

Not caused them. But not made them better. 

You are looking at the wrong 'cause'.

By then the majority for re joining will likely be much greater as racist owd buggers die off

Racists like you? Anti semitic and clearly not liking brown skin if your railing against Suella Braverman and Priti Patel are anything to go by?

No but has brexit made the situation worse or better?

Or has it improved any situation or anything at all?

Just one Mounts. Come on, just one will do.

 

Anything at all?

Why don't you concentrate on the obstructionist activities of cunts like the Civil Service Unions and remoaners in general?

That's what has been holding us back as well as not ditching all of the thousands of EU policies which was promised and being anchored by an outdated (and expansionist it seems), ECHR.

Time for those shackles to be escaped.

[Not in Crawley]

Please can someone outline these shackles from civil service unions that were tied to the EU? The thousands of EU policies that stopped the UKs growth?

It's just nonsense at this point, clickbait word dumps for people who can't form a coherent argument.

Tell me you watch GB News, without telling you watch GB News

Holding us back

Aye proper third world country us.

[Sweep]

Let's be honest, nobody ever mentioned that we had a problem with the Civil Service.....until they ran out of other excuses

It's not brexit fault but has brexit made the situation any better?

Or any situation better?

Just one will do.

Why would it?

Wonder how long it will take for Starmer to do a U-turn on his new batch of pledges 

[Farrelli]

Those trucks full of food and perishable goods delayed at ports is a direct consequence of Brexit and very poor planning by the government.  Just another example of the shitshow it has been.

I am still waiting to hear about a genuine benefit?

It's the poor planning that's at fault here. If it had all been done properly, then there wouldn't be an issue. That lies directly at the feet of those who suggested we where ready to leave, when clearly we where not.

We "left" with no plan and no systems in place for what we knew was coming.
