    It's a change, it remains to be seen if it results in any improvements.

    We've lost a lot of trade deals and a lot of goodwill.

    And it'll make the migrant situation worse, imo, which currently costs at least £7m a day.

    I don't think it was Brexit that was done, it was us.

    But do you agree that getting rid of £85,000,000 of wages just from Europe MPs, not including policy officers, lawyers, researchers and translators + thousands of company cars, expense accounts, food allowances, travel allowances, etc etc +++ most of all F ucking Kinnock and his scrounging family <laugh>

    I don't agree with it all tbh, it's not as if we didn't get a return from that expenditure in trade deals, a valuable labour force, cooperation on various issues, etc.

    And I'd say the EU lawyers are much more efficient and accountable than some of ours. Braverman has failed with yet another legal issue and cost the country millions again.

    I was happy that the EU exercised some control and regulatory influence, over our politicians, from whichever party.

    We were promised better than what we're getting now, I feel I have the right to moan about the rotten deal we ended up with.

    You won’t feel any worse than me mate I can guarantee you that, but I honestly believe we were being taken for one massive ride by the bastards, all invented just to line there own pockets and no one here will ever make me change my opinion on that.

    I think that's is the key to all this countries problems are, whether you voted leave or remain, Labour, tory or whoever, we are all putting our trust in people that will do whatever they can to improve things for themselves and line their own pockets.
    There are probably hundreds of people got in to politics with the view of helping the country and making peoples lives better.
    Once they are in this world of corruption and lies and realise what you have to do to survive all their morals go out the window.
    How many tory mps were behind Boris when they wanted their cushy jobs, once they realised what a pigs ear he was making of things the knives were straight out, how many that backed him knew he was ****e but did so for their own benefit.
    When the people running our country are prepared to make huge decisions for their own benefit what chance do we have as a country.
    I havnt got a clue what the answer is but at the moment our parliament is probably as far from a solution as you can get

    When the Kinnocks are in there lining their pockets you can virtually guess the rest of the MPs will also be outcast useless twats who their own country wanted rid of lining their pockets as well.

    A very good summary of our present situation, l have lost faith in politicians from all side. Hopefully they can prove me wrong at the next election

    I was always well aware of the waste in Brussels, the expense of the MEP's, the daft anomalies and all the rest of it. Yes it's really annoying and I don't like having the mickey taken out of me.

    But I'm intelligent enough to see that there are massive advantages despite the corruption. Plenty of other intelligent people, from David Cameron to Ben Elton, thought Brexit was idiotic.

    Year after year after year we're told that the benefits are just around the corner ...

    ... in reality we've gained f**k all.

    We’ve gained everything you don’t like in your first paragraph.

    And that's as far as you can see tbh.

    The second paragraph obviously doesn't apply to you.

    Not worth losing everything else just to save some wages on a few MEPs

    Not everyone is capable of seeing the 'everything else' when they're blinkered by a hatred on Kinnock.
