Still told to 'get over it, it's done.

Labour should put the UK's interests ahead of party advantage and negotiate an ever closer relationship with the EU and help reform the EU to be more effective.

So conversely, the younger, richer parts of the UK are the ones who didn’t bother to vote, (or who voted Remain).

Interesting.

^Only 11% in the UK now think brevity (Brexit) has been a success^

A smaller % of people, if any, think importing slaves was a success.

A different % think that wiping down shopping with disinfectant during Covid was a success.

All three of those things have happened and can’t be undone.

What we can do in the future might make a difference, but it won’t undo Brexit, or slavery, or Covid.

Incidentally I’m currently in a country that was delighted to scrape into the EU.
I’ve had to listen to endless stories of all the money that they have received, especially in view of their financial issues. I debated asking what their contribution to EU coffers is, but decided against it.

The poorer parts of the UK seemed to be the ones that benefited the most from us being in the EU; the very ones that voted to leave it.

The debate is definitely not over. This covers what was discussed in parliament yesterday. The politicians viewed rejoining as inevitable.

I really hope not

Of course the debate is not over.
But even if we rejoined the only thing we can be certain would happen is that we’d need to be a major contributor again.
Brexit happened.
It can’t be undone. Only a new format can be set up, and thats not undoing it.

Brevity, levity,schmevity.

Brevity is the soul of wit.

Auto correct. Which, of course, you know it is.

Freudian slip?

Brevity doesn't come into it!

I am and have always been very much a half full ++ typer of person.

I guess that doesn’t apply when you talk about Brexit.

Why should it. I’m not aware of any benefits from it. And people seem quite gleeful that some people suffered quite badly financially because of it.

Who has suffered quite badly? Who is gleeful?

Markets always change over time.

You are not alone in missing the gleeful posts Mollygo.

And who are the people who are gleeful that some people suffered quite badly financially because of it?
I must have missed their posts, or the news about that.

Except when it comes to Brexit. 😂
I’m a glass half full about it.
I’d vote the same way again to be honest.

My glass is not concerned. Nothing I care about has changed much.

Wonderful you voted wisely and are content.

Claremont has every right to express her views.

It doesn't mean we necessarily have to agree with one another.

There might however be an optimum number of ways and indeed times of repeating these views before others switch off?

Well, do switch off. No worries and your prerogative. Scroll by, ignore.

The issues are real, and there is everything to fight for and improve.

I hate the word expat btw. I was an immigrant once, for 1 year, otherwise always been a cititzen.

I'm probably a cup half full person, RosieandherMaw 😀
The Pollyanna syndrome.

I do realise it can annoy some people whose cups are often half empty.

Nobody is being forced to read them.
