Vast Majority of Britons Say Brexit Has Failed

[frigidweirdo]

Nothing is more absurd than thinking that in the modern world and all its interconnectedness that "national sovereignty" has any meaning similar to the age of empires.

The whole "national sovereignty" and "take back control" is absurd because it wasn't THE PEOPLE taking back control, it was the Tories doing it to enable themselves to steal from the people.

The EU were actually making laws to PROTECT the people from the right wing government of the UK... and the people were like "rape us, please"

Explain How and Why .
Do not copy Turdy Tainted and just parrot material you do not understand .

I'll explain

UK immigration is at its highest ever point.

UK net migration hits all-time record at 504,000

The rise is driven by non-EU students and people fleeing conflict and persecution in Hong Kong and Ukraine.

www.bbc.co.uk

"UK net migration hits all-time record at 504,000"

And for 2023 it was higher, 600,000 something.

So they push Brexit saying how they're "take back control", and they're the anti-immigration party, and they get EU citizens to leave, because migration from the EU is in the negative as nobody arrives and people leave, and yet you've got 600,000 people coming from Africa and India/Pakistan/Bangladesh area the most.

Because the pound dropped the day after the Brexit vote, it dropped between 9% and 15% on average.

$1.40 was about a normal low in 2016, then it dropped over night to about $1.32 and in 2018 it hit a high of $1.42 and it's never gone back to that. Last year the high was $1.30 and a low of about $1.20

Imagine how much money the British people have lost. Everything they buy from abroad, they lose money on it. Every time they go abroad, they lose money, and millions of people go abroad to cook themselves in the Spanish or Greek sun every year.

Yes, exports are cheaper.... BUT (a huge butt here) the red tape has increased, so products cost MORE because of tariffs, because their truck drivers spend way more time at Dover and all the other costs. So.... profits are down.

The UK is losing an estimated £200 billion a year because of Brexit. Now, these aren't my estimates. My estimates are closer to £400 billion a year and that doesn't even include the drop with the pound which might push this up to £500 billion or £600 billion a year.

I love how right wing Americans, the most fucked up nation in the first world, are constantly telling the rest of the first world how we're doing it all wrong, while your nation is in the toilet with the water swirling.

40 years of right wing media lies and bullshit about women, immigrants and God and the result is the current right wing voter. A guy who is prepared to hand the nation over to a criminal conman to be dictator for life.

Denying the obvious is never a good political strategy. It doesnt require that you watch "right wing media" in order to know that taking in millions of muslims absolutely WRECKED Europe.

brexit was not a good idea

“A new Opinium poll finds a clear majority of the British public now believes Brexit has been bad for the UK economy,

Am sure Americans with their horrific problems would love that to be true .
Of course it is nonsense , and at the simplest level the GB £ is 1.27 today versus £1.09 on September 9 , 2022 .

The proposition is far too hard for any ordinary person to sensibly answer -- far too complex and nuanced and they have zero idea what is happening anywhere else , let alone why .
The opinion poll simply reflects what the MSM has told the public to think and like Compliant Gullibles they do as they are told .
From what I see, there is a 50:50 chance of a total US collapse this coming year and I suggest you worry about your own salvation first .

A failed, wrongheaded policy motivated by an unwarranted, racist fear of immigrants and immigration.

So that means, high inflation in every country is down to Brexit? There are some thick threads about

TT has some points about the consequences of bad decisions in the past. They do not mean, however, that bad decisions should be made in the present out of a sense of bad feelings. Good sense is what is needed.
