We fecking told you so. Brexit making us suffer.

[flashbac]

Project Fear you said. Sunlit Uplands you said. Sovereignty you said. Can I buy food and heat my house with Sovereignty? Can I put sovereignty in my car's fuel tank? Can I?

It was common sense that this would happen. Common SENSE.

It’s really not just brexit, and I say that as someone who voted remain. COVID meant a lot of Europeans went home due to lockdowns, ir35 closed a loop hole so that driving here was no longer as lucrative so why take the risk of being stuck abroad for months when travel is halted or you get a positive test if it’s no longer financially worth it.

And actually the issues with fuel now have been caused by the media, 10 bp petrol stations closed and the media fanned the flames to stoke up panic.

People have been vastly underpaid for years.
If they need drivers then they need to pay them what they are worth. Instead of relying on cheap exploitive labour from elsewhere

Did you ever think that our side might have won *@DismantledKing* if each successive government hadn't spent so much time sneering at others, instead of listening to why they weren't happy in the EU? Every person I know who voted remain are in an income bracket where they either directly employ people or have enough disposable income to make the freedom of movement work for them. Friends and family voted leave because they were stuck, social mobility had broken down, the election is decided by a tiny number of swing seats and they saw no other way out.

You must move in very restricted circles. I’m working class and voted remain. The vast majority of my working class family voted remain. Voting leave because you’re pissed off at the government of the day was a dumb thing to do.

They have to want us back. If you were them, would you?

I know loads of Remainers who are pretty poor and most of the Leavers I know are very well heeled indeed. This middle-class Remainer vs working-class Leaver is pretty tenuous.
The votes for posts like this are at last showing that people are recognising the damage caused, even if some of the old tired nonsense is still being spouted.

It’s made no difference to me

Other parts or Europe have had their own issues, massive floods, causing loss of life etc only a few weeks agao.

Eh? thats a natural disaster, not a man-made problem.

This is really naive. Many working class voters voted remain. Look at the voting stats in Liverpool.

Many wealthy people voted leave. Look at the stats for SE England.

People were not unhappy in the EU, they were unhappy. Not one of their problems will be made better by leaving.

Brexit was a huge error, for individuals and the country as a whole. Every family will be poorer due to Brexit.

20 years is a long time. I think we can get a lot closer certainly. It's a pragmatic decision.

At least we have our country back 🙄

It’s frustrating as you know the people who voted for Brexit will be the same people moaning about the lack of lorry drivers, rise in cost of food and petrol etc.

I don’t mind the people who voted to leave because they did their research and genuinely believed it was the best thing for this country but most voted for ridiculous reasons.

People blaming "this government " you voted for brexit when the leader of the country was against it. I mean... wtf did you expect. There was no plan, no whif of other trade offers. It was so fucking random that people just wanted to leave without any plan! Of course this happened. People have got stuck in the idea that we're a great nation, we're a tiny island, we're like the chihuahua that thinks it's a rottweiller.

I’m pleased for you and god I’m envious.

At least all those foreigners aren't coming over here and taking our jobs!

EatSleepRantRepeat the ones that voted leave in my family are the most comfortably off. They just real the Msil snd The Sun.

Very true @icebear99 - we had a few pumps run dry on Sunday night but the stations were managing with the normal demand. 2 days of exaggerated headlines by the daily mail and people are panic buying, again.

Sums it up for me. Bloody immigrants…… oh wait…we need them???

should have voted corbyn even if you was stupid enough to vote for this rubbish, its been made 10x worse simply by virtue of who is in charge of it.

bunch of crooks, liars and cheats. I fully expect BJ to skip the country after trousering as much tax payers money as he can, just like he has bailed on every wife, child and job he has ever had, make a complete mess then run and leave it for someone else to clean up has been his entire way of life since he was born.

I despair at idiots who voted for him, its not like they didnt know what he was like, his track record was long and very public, they were just to lazy or stupid to look it up before bumbling their way upto the ballot box.

@ThisIsStartingToBoreMe

It was in reference to the UK being the laughing stock, because you know other parts of Europe have other serious issues to worry about than whats going on in the UK🙄

Should anyone say the gas crisis has nothing to do with Brexit, I share this:

“Is Brexit to blame?

Boris Johnson and Michael Gove promised lower fuel bills for households once Britain left the EU. Gas prices in Europe are also at record highs, but countries in the EU’s internal energy market trade efficiently with each other using linked auctions that balance prices across the bloc. The UK, having decoupled its auctions from Europe, could in theory get cheaper energy than anywhere else – if energy was really cheap. But it isn’t, so the UK is more exposed to high prices.”

Brexit was pushed by powerful players who are libertarians and wanted further deregulation of business, labour, tax and the markets. Much money to be made by a few whilst the rest suffer. Brexit was a con, a successful one, sadly.

I didn't vote for Brexit and I will believe we should have remained in the EU until the day I die. However, I think with proper forward planning (ie foreseeing which sectors relied heavily on employing people from the EU and making proper plans to train and incentivise British people to do these jobs) this was possibly avoidable. I accept covid hasn't helped either.

The Brexit campaign was led by a multi millionaire ex stock broker who was educated at Dulwich college.
Yet he managed to convince the working class that he was one of the people.
John Major and Tony Blair spoke sense on the Brexit issue.
We’ll all be poorer leaving the EU, I say this as a Euro sceptic myself.
I understand that people are worried about immigration, but I don’t even think immigration will go down as much as people thought.

X2boys - but the UK is a laughing stock because we’ve brought so much of the trouble on ourselves. Nobody’s laughing at Germany because they couldn’t help the rain.

That is the opposite of my experience. Every leaver I know is wealthy, or at least very comfortably off. Two are multimillionaires. The remainers were ordinary people on average salaries.

Yes but you hate people who dont vote the same way as you though dont you? And i dont know who in their right mind could have voted for corbyn Labour need to stop being utterly vile to people who dont vote the way they think they should and find out what the voters want

‘But wages will have to go up’

Wtf do you think that will do to inflation? Utilities? Your weekly shop? Home maintenance? Public services.

How THE FUCK can you vote for something you don’t understand and can’t join the fucking dots. Once my kids are done with education here we are gone. Little Britain, you’re welcome to your post war Britain.
