Brexit is all going swimmingly then.

Other than a few minor teething problems that let's face it no one could have ever predicted.

Would we have the opportunity to join the Single Market alone?
Would we have to accept using the Euro and the jurisdiction of E Court of Justice on every thing not just individual Trade disputes?.

No, I am bloody gutted.

I can’t see ANY benefit from Brexshit; I can only see confusion and mess and dismay and anger. And I wonder about the financial cost of the logistics of this.

Interestingly, I think Leave voters are also angry. They're not angry with the liars who sold them brexit, they seem to only be angry with Remainers pointing out how shit it all is though. They are (largely) still devoted to the lying politicians.

Better work ethic - or more uncomplaining when subjected to backbreaking conditions? I.e. the kind that our labour standards protect us from?

Plus, there are degrees of exploitation. If they could get £4 per hour in Poland but the UK is offering £6, that's nothing to be proud of. It's a good example of exploiting desperation. But of course, I might be wrong - they may have been on a better rate over here.

Our labour standards were the EU labour standards. EU workers are still protected by them in the EU. One of the negotiation points for Brexit was about whether the UK would maintain the high labour standards that the EU have.

My ExH earns a shitload more in Dubai than the UK for the same work. Immigration does not mean exploitation @valadon68.

Fifty years before you start to see any benefit, Mogg said.

Meantime, if you are handy with a captive bolt, there's a million piggies in need of dispatch. Maybe all those scroungers moaning about their twenty quid could be conscripted to do it?

Since we have left the EU and can't go back I just don't see the point in looking backwards on this subject.

Recent history is important. As is self reflection. If we do not accept the past we can't learn from it and move on.

Agree.

Project Fear
All this pesky immigrants taking jobs that Brits could have.
350mln per week for NHS instead of UE.
Taking control of the borders.

Ah well. Even people voting for Brexit and being vocal about it have shut up.
Takes a courage to admit fuck up.

I think both Leavers and Remainers would have been happier without the referendum. Leaving aside the economics and the legal framework aspects of the decision, no one other than the Conservative Party, the SNP, Sinn Fein and Alliance have benefited from the division that Brexit has brought.

I am unsurprised everyone is unhappy - social division makes people miserable, especially when deliberately stirred up by your own government.
