Brexit Fallout

No, I’ve never felt I made a mistake, and I’m being completely sincere. All the silly mud slinging and name calling is so pointless now.
I’ll never regret voting to leave, and I’d vote leave again if there was another referendum - I’m hopeful someone somewhere will make it a success.

I voted leave and I am disappointed with the ‘fallout’ ( for want of a better word )
I just haven’t noticed a single difference - I’m not sure what I was expecting but I was expecting some improvements, especially where immigration is concerned.
But I think the conservatives have just handled it badly.
Not sure what Labour will do when they get in, but we won’t be rejoining anytime soon - if ever.

We will you know. It could be within the next ten years if there is war.

It's interesting that some of our Leave voters have expressed disappointment in Brexit as it is unfolding even if they have no regrets about their vote.

I, for one, and probably others, would love to know what exactly they were expecting to happen. What material difference it was meant to make.

MaizieD banners on buses? £350 million a week saved? Could be spent on the NHS? Does that count as a material difference?

It seems to me that what Brexiters and Trump supporters have in common is they are the are both isolationist. How would that work?

Badly!

"Politicians lie and don't keep their promises/you can't believe a word they say". You often hear comments like those. So why did they believe all the promises made during the referendum?

facts4eu.org has an interesting article complete with graphs showing U.K. exports since referendum.

Greta the delivery was masterful - don’t you recall Boris Johnson in full flow?

We didn't have to leave the EU in order to fund the NHS better, ronib.

However, you're right, that did create an expectation of a material difference.

That, and the anti-immigration message seem to me to have been the most potent factors, but what other things did the Leave voters think would be materially different? There must have been more than just these two.

I confess that I thought Ug's and Zandinsky's conclusions were quite sad, 'disappointed' and a 'damp squib' after causing so much upheaval.

MaizieD we can make our own trade deals I recall? Not be tied to … blah …

Is it something to do with an increased percentage of exports to the EU, GG13?

A link would be appreciated.

You don't need to quote the nonsense to me, ronib.

But, anyway, how would that have made a material difference? I mean a real, tangible difference to our lives, not a 'feelz' thing about going it alone...

Look on the website facts4eu.org

Perhaps you'd like to post the link then, ronib?

Just put the address in your search engine, MaizieD

For some reason only known to itself by iPhone is refusing to do links at the moment.

Recovering from cataract surgery and using a magnifying glass to see and type!

I think it would have been polite to have posted a link if one was asked for.

If one knows how …

This extract from their own website tells you all you need to know MaiizeD.
‘NEUTRALITY: Facts4eu.org focuses on information which shows that the UK is better off regaining its independence and growing globally.’
Aka Tory lie spreader.

I do apologise. I missed that bit about your phone.

Sadly there's no link on the post from your laptop. Did you press send too early😆

Don't worry. I'll find it.

facts4eu.org let’s hope this works.

If this is an example of how my day is going to pan out I am off back to bed…

I didn’t vote for Brexit, I voted remain. However if a deal with Canada means we have to accept beef that has hormones then I won’t be eating any Canadian beef. The Canadians can keep it!
