Most people I know voted to leave the EU ( I did not vote ). Without exception, every one of those are now regretting the decision. AB must be the exception to the rule, though I have my doubts some really say what they think but are just winding up a certain user.

12.44 The remaining nations are the E/U, all 27 nations form the E/U.

'some really DON'T say what they think'

[naomi24]

APG, conversely I don't know anyone who regrets voting 'Leave'.

[anneasquith]

BOO HOO. There is rule that there must be a link from the op ttt.

No one I know who voted leave thinks it was a mistake either. In addition most people I know consider it far too early to tell one way or another.

Gromit wants us to fail because, judging by his many posts, he is very anti British.

Who knows why Gully would care one way or another as he proclaims he doesnt live here.

I wouldn't say it's going well if I was asked today ...

That doesn't mean I want it to fail. It's just how I think it's going. Covid hasn't helped, but a big reason for voting against such a massive change was that we didn't know what events lay just around the corner that could scupper us ...

You can live on your feet or on your knees. I do not, and never will regret voting for Brexit. I would rather live on my feet and accept any temporary hardships which come my way than live on my knees craving crumbs from the begging bowl of the EU.

[youngmafbog]

Well said JD.

Jackdaw, the EU has the UK on its knees already with the ridiculous trade deals Boris agreed to. If you think small producers selling goods such as Cheese & Wool, who need a veterinary certificate for every shipment into the EU, and all goods over the value of £35 attracting a 20% import duty is 'standing up for oneself' then crack on to the tune Rule Britannia. It may not affect you now in your corner of Little England, but by Jove it will do eventually.

[gulliver1]

Youv'e done it now Gromit you have mentioned the (Rejoin word) and sent shock horrors and trembles down the spine of the AB brigade of Brexiteers
Get your tin hat on.

The uk isn’t on its knees .. far from it. I would say sorry to disappoint but I’m not.

Isn't it possible that the idea of sovereignty has been misunderstood within the context of Brexit?

Trading across borders means regulating across borders, and the more you want to trade, the more regulation you need.

‘Sovereignty’ in this context means having influence not only of regulation in your domestic market but in the markets you sell to and buy from.

In the 1960s, Britain experienced the pain of having no control over the European market and too small a domestic market to provide a secure base for its manufacturers.

Ultimately, real sovereignty means having a seat at the table, a voice in the debate and a vote on the outcome.

Arguably Brexit threw all that away: we are left with a paper sovereignty that sounds good but has no effect.

“ The average 'man in the street' is utterly unable to offer an informed opinion on Brexit. ”

That’s a bit harsh: surely you would not have said that before the referendum (!)

[ichkeria]

Absolutely correct sp

I don't usually post on threads involving Brexit because it doesn't affect me. However, I just came across this article and thought I'd post it. Let's face it, it's just another opinion: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/article-bare-shelves-empty-pumps-britains-self-inflicted-brexit-wound/
