Putting trading barriers between your nearest and largest market is an act of utter stupidity.

Does that make voting for it an act of utter stupidity? 😉

The remain campaign was probably the shittest and most limpest political campaign there's ever been. They were fucking shit.

The leave campaign was fucking masterful. They had good and clever people fooled.

Haha I voted stay. But only just.

I was voting leave till I watched Prof. Micheal Duggan's piece on trade etc.

Swung me to remain.

Shame folk didn't do a bit more research.

@PatrickBateman has been AGES making this list of benefits.

I can only assume his list got so long he’s had to buy another laptop with enough memory to store it all.

But he’ll be along any minute with the list.

aaaaany minute

No one voted for trade barriers, it was all about jingoism and hating foreigners. Who even thought about the Good Friday Agreement? 

The rest of the following crap was just upper class toffs and hedge funders taking advantage.

Can someone swiftly run over this French Prime minister malarkey for me.

So The President appoints this dude off his own bat like?

It's puzzling but as I understand things the elected President can pick anyone to be his Prime Minister (they chopped the heads off their royals).. but the nomination has to reflect the "will" of their National Assembly.

The Prime Minister has to direct the will of the Nation... that is he or she has to do what they are told by the Prezzy... they are the main man's number two... not too distant from us but we don't get to elect our royal family

The ones who should have been running the country from that point on.

The interference running of bitter remainers and lack of backbone of those leading constitutes a betrayal of the people.

We now have a golden chance to correct this but we are stuck with the wrong leaders. One agitates Elon Musk and another accused Trump of being 'nazi', 'KKK' etc. We'd be better off with Morecambe and Wise than Starmer and Lammy.

Sorry mate but that is garbage

The Leave Campaign didn't have a plan after the referendum, almost as if they didn't really expect to win... it was a case of "oh Fk... what do we do now"

Nothing about bitterness more to do wit incompetence.

Who on Earth would you to suggest could seriously fix the flat lining. low productivity, low wage, high aspiration economic mess now? Cannon & Ball, Steptoe & Son?

It’s almost like they never really thought it through.

I didn't vote ... I've said it before.

At the time I don't think the outcome would effect me ... Still don't think it has ... lucky me ☺️

2M in the red ... maybe you should have invested in British options from the start?

Hypocrisy from you because you lost out. Just suck it up and adapt.

But you're the real winner right? ... 😂

Of course it’s garbage

 Imagine the state we’d be in if Farage & Mogg had taken the ship post referendum. Doubt we’d have made it through Covid. Truss would have lasted longer.

Aye. The general public, in the main, are generally thick as mince

[mickbrown]

It was very simple in the end. Leave won because they could offer an alternative to the situation as it was. Stay lost because they couldn’t. 

If you’re telling some bloke in a shit job, living on some shithole estate that if you vote stay things will stay the same, they’re thinking ‘fuck that’. 
 

Leave could say whatever the fuck they wanted because whatever happened, it wouldn’t be the same old same old. 
 

Chuck in a bit of dog whistle, slightly racist undertones and Bob’s your uncle, fait accompli.

A deal with the US would of course be fantastic, but I'm not sure a US/UK trade deal will be top of Trumps list of things to do. He's always banging on about tariffs and speaks in a very insular manner (hence his MAGA mantra) so any deal done you would expect would be 100% to the advantage of the US

Although, I suspect if no trade deal is done quickly, you'll be happy to point out this as a failure of our Government......whilst ignoring the fact that your former hero (Johnson) had a couple of years to push through a deal with him last time, and absolutely nothing happened.

It probably has affected you. The likelyhood is you're slightly worse off than you would have been of we'd stayed and you're finding it harder to access public services as a result of the increase in immigration we've seen as a result of leaving. 

This is just based on an average citizen - appreciate there may be some lucky ones who have benefitted through financial twists of fate.
