And the small matter of whinging bastards not respecting a democratic vote
Click to expand...
I was more than happy to respect the outcome in 2016. 7 years on there is a sense it was a case of shooting ourselves in the foot. How long does a democratic vote need to be left alone without people, with the benefit of experience and hindsight, challenging the outcome it has achieved?

Cross party report from the lords say those under the age of 30 have been very badly affected. So much more difficult to have the sort of freedom I enjoyed as kids. Sunak and Macron have committed to id card improvements, but lets see.

Research funding massively down. Young people impacted again.

Erasmus programme. Young people again.

School trips into this country from EU down 80%. Young people again.

75% of voters aged between 18 and 24 voted remain. Those with the most to win or lose. 56% of people now think it was a mistake according to recent polls.

Today a major tech company decided to use New York stock exchange, not London. A company born in the UK in 1990 and which has led the way across the world. The blame has been partly put down to the 'lunacy of brexit' according to the company founder.

The list goes on and on. I think it is, and will continue to be, an economic and social balls up for the UK, personally.

The reality of Brexit is embarrassingly clear.

It's believed, by those who wanted it, to be the .means to take any control away from foreigners, seal our borders to foreigners, get rid of unwanted foreigners ...

... at which point we have to go out to attempt to sign trade deals with foreigners, compete with foreigners and rely on foreigners to help seal our borders.

It's absolutely ridiculous and only appeals to people who long for the days of Empire, proper British passports and the return to pounds, shillings and pence. The Chinese and Indians will eat us alive.

So you are saying a democratic vote now has a “best before date “

If Labour are elected the people defending the Brexit vote will be the first to moan.

Consider that the political class wasted at least three years trying to not do it, and got Johnson as their reward. Two years lost to COVID, so we've had two years of usable time on this. And it seems like every month something we were told was impossible suddenly becomes possible now that the main players have largely moved on.

I was asking you at what point us whingers are allowed whinge. Should we just shut up and accept the crap it has brought? How long do you think we should wait for it to get better? Or is it a question asked of the british people that should never be asked again at any point? In my opinion 7 years has shown us exactly what we are in for
