I certainly don’t think the newspapers I read affect my thinking but I dare say there are others who accept verbatim the trash peddled by the red tops
But here we go again on Brexit. {sigh}
Well political decisions, especially ones that are far-reaching, affect people's lives. Particularly if the effects of such decisions are on-going.
There's questions still, hanging over the methods used by the Leave campaign. There are ongoing discussions about the 'bonfire' of EU regulations. The government is attempting to negotiate trade deals to replace the ones we had with the EU - farmers and fishermen are watching how these progress, and wondering how they might be affected. Then there's Northern Ireland... and so on.
Therefore I can't think of a legitimate reason why Brexit should not be discussed. And if you find it tedious - well, there was a clue in the title of this thread which should serve as an indication to which way the comments might travel.
I understand there are Brexit-voters who wish we'd just "get over it" and shut up about it, but I don't understand why when some of the much-lauded benefits that we might have expected have failed to materialise. "Levelling-Up" didn't happen, we still have VAT on fuel, I won't even mention the red bus because we've been informed that it wasn't actually a promise - just an example of what we could spend the money on that was going to become available after we left, so fair enough, it was just a red-herring. And of course the pandemic coming along when it did has skewed things somewhat - so all the more reason to look at the effects of it in relation to Brexit.
