Insurance is where the uk is super strong but i thought you were already in that sector :wink:

It is one area where the uk has been somewhat insulated from brexit. I wouldnt call it a benefit though

Mate. Brexit has been a shitshow. Itā€™s costing the economy Ā£100bn a year. Itā€™s worth remembering that itā€™s been a choice of the government since 2016 to artificially protect the pound against the worst impacts of Brexit, but thatā€™s come at the cost of the highest tax burden on record, and failing public services and a spiralling cost of living.

It is silly to suggest Brexit has been anything but a unmitigated disaster, and while individual prophecies may have been less on the mark, the bigger picture - the promise of a country where everyone feels poorer, everything costs more, and our influence on the world stage is diminished, has obviously come true.

Pretty much everything promised by leave proved to be a barefaced lie.

That isnā€™t what I said, is it.

For the things I donā€™t understand weā€™ll enough to form an opinion on, I rely on experts. And in the run up to the referendum there was nobody worthy of the title expert advising me to vote leave. Iā€™m talking about academics, institutions and bodies of learned opinion. If you to form your opinions on international trade from the lad who runs Whetherspoons, thatā€™s up to you.

What do you think the result of the referendum was?

A lot of the parliamentary process led and supported by Remain MPs was about running the process through Parliament and leaving on the best terms possible.

Once the result was leave, there needed to be a process to work the best form of leaving for the country. It was notable that all the cunts promising people they could safely vote remain and it wouldnā€™t mean leaving the single market started gaslighting the nation that what they actually voted for was a hard leave and default to WTO rules position. Almost as if they had a hidden agenda or something.

Probably best to ignore people that canā€™t own their own opinions. They make nonsense arguments that ā€˜others might sayā€™ then demand evidence for the blatantly fucking obvious

You know the saying ā€œtaring everybody with the same brush?ā€

On a fundamental level, some of us did yes.

Iā€™ve got no dog in this race, didnā€™t vote because to me it was a choice between a bowl of cold spew or a shit sandwich but this argument always makes me laugh.
Truth is, especially in Great Britain (stop laughing at the back) this is true of any election as the vast majority of the electorate are pig-ignorant, uninformed fuckwits. This would have been the case at the last GE and will be the case at the next one.

Yeah but brexit was special

It was like you not liking the colour of the decor in your living room and deciding to burn your house down to fix it.

Yeah, but at least it was your choice to burn down your house.

Yes but youā€™ll moan that it didnā€™t burn the way you wanted it to.

Burning means burning.

Yeah, I and everyone I know voted for a hard burn.

Apparently not;

Referencing a famous Monty Python cafe scene, thereā€™s a soft burn, cold burn, deep burn, fast burn, smokey burn, heart burn, spice burn, acid burn, manganese burn, phosphorus burn, zun burn, chemical burn, Chinese burn, carpet burn, embarrassing burn, burn out, burnt toast and to top it all scorchio.

Youā€™re twisting my point to suit your argument, againā€¦.Brexit did happen but not with standing a lot opposition from people who were doing everything to stop it. Remainers still want a second referendum. Thatā€™s not a sign of acceptance.

:man_facepalming:t3: You really need to understand irony and Sarcasm. Itā€™s okay for people on this forum to call me an idiot and I suppose because their views align with yours itā€™s not considered ignorant?

Electoral manipulationā€¦:joy:

I do find it amusing that this forum has so many intelligent posters who call the general public idiots, fuckwits, fools, gullible, morons etc etc. Usually because their politics differ. Well done you big brained folks.
