Re: In todays news...
If something has demonstrably caused higher prices, loss of GDP and loss of inward investment, you'd prefer that people say " it's done, it's gone. Let it go."
Brexit hasn't "changed nothing", it's changed everything. So in your world if a Bad Thing happens you just have to accept it and Move On?
Sounds remarkably like apathy to me.

I can confirm France is really expensive for food.
But thanks for pointing out I should be eating tinned fish and ketchup, feels a bit wartime-y.

I know, they went on about it for years and years.
Although it wasn't a very strong rebuttal Ant old boy.
I know you want to forget your mistakes and pretend they didn't happen but when it costs the country billions its worth pointing out every once in a while.
It's always someone elzes fault though isnt it?
Nurses, Immigrants, leftists, train drivers, mortgage holders, protestors, yada yada yada. Not the government who've been in power for over a decade and with a massive majority for a good part of that, eventually you'll run out of other people to blame.
Likely my fault for pointing it out now
Ant is right, it's like a religion for some and the religious can be a bit stupid sometimes.
Every single problem with Brexit can be sourced back to Remainers. Every single one.
The referendum was badly conceived. There was no qualifying majority when that would have been wise. "We'll do what you decide!" was simple arrogance because we're pretty sure what the result will be when in reality it (the referendum result) should have been advisory. The person behind that? A Remainer
The result of the referendum was again, the fault of Remainers. Clearly, thousands of them thought it was a foregone conclusion and didn't bother to vote. If they had done so, they would probably have swung the result in favour of remaining.
"We'll do what you decide!" was a statement made by the Remainer Cameron who a) didn't want to do what was decided (he was too thick to think that result was possible) and b) was incapable of doing it. As you know, the coward ran away when he realised that he wasn't up to the job.
Theresa May didn't have the wit, intelligence or ability to deal with the EU, or the people to help her do so because she was a Remainer as were the civil servants that needed to be used.
Boris Johnson got left holding the Remainer's shitty stick and whilst he too didn't really have the abilities, got us (sort of) out. I don't think Boris had an opinion either way to be honest but he wasn't in any position of power at the time of the referendum so shouting "Leave! was him just playing politics.
On the other hand, the people who voted to leave, simply gave their answer, their opinion, to a straightforward question that was asked by a Remainer. They did nothing wrong and were going to have no say in how Brexit was achieved.
The reason it's a clusterfuck is all down to Remainers, like yourself.
Get over it.
Re: In todays news...
The problem is that remain didn't have a campaign. The best they could do is call people racist and gammons - so really that told many that even the remainers didn't have a clue why we should stay.
Even now, they can't give any good reason why we should have stayed.
Freedom of movement? No, I've still been to Italy, Germany and France. But but but you might need a visa - good, we and they should know who's coming and going and block them if they have a criminal record.....

Re: In todays news...
Cameron came to my work and gave a speech asking us to vote to stay in, but everyone I worked with came away with the impression he didn't really care either way.

Cameron was a remainer, people like that had fingers in EU pies, the filthy rich elites all had something in it for them. Business leaders did, so that they could exploit the pool of cheap, dirty cheap labour, exploiting people who'd work for that kind of money.

Re: In todays news...
I think the EU Commission is trying to find a way to let/get us back in. They miss our money desperately. They are asking the member states for more money to cover it, cos they fucked up their budgets! They've told Business not to worry as they aren't asking them for money, they'll get it from their Goivts. Now where do Govts get money from,oh yes, taxes and who pays them?

It may well be a good idea to go back in, let's face it, we don't have any politicians who are capable of running the country very well. We might as well get our policies and required actions from Brussels.
Of course, it should be decided by a referendum.

Brexit seems to be the new Maggie, you can blame everything you don't like on that for years to come.
