Brexit has never really been given a chance… due to many reasons…
Are we better off today ? It will take time, and some decent political leaders and none are about yet, but at least once they step forward we are ready to move forward…
And instead of buying boats to house illegal people entering UK, should of invested into UK companies to build or modify existing ships, like all the cruise liners being scrapped since covid, but most political parties are also into imediate results for votes, rather than planning for the future… one huge problem… like the failed HS2 joke… 30 mins quicker link north and south… yes we really needed that didn’t we, would of been better spent investing in existing infrastructure in the North… it needs it ! Like some of the motorways… M62 out of Hull comes to mind… will they ever resurface it ?
Mind you put the boats on the humber, and allow those on the boat/hotel/prison to work on the motorway and pay for their rooms 
And as the EU was the cause of Hulls fishing being decimated, a reason to leave on its own…
Same as wreaking farming in UK with all their subs to not grow crops… the EU was and is a wreaking ball for countries within it, so they become dependant on the EU…
And why glad we are out !
Brexit had every chance - ot was just a stupid idea.
Are we better off? No nrexit has cost us about 150 billion so far and knocks 4% off gdp every year.off
Btw, these million migrants arnt the ones coming by boats.
Brexit was never fully implemented, left half-done - on purpose, so it could one day be reversed.
The notion presumably is to somehow win over the hearts and minds of the Brexiteers, so we one day accept perhaps that our establishment simply won’t LET us have something we voted for - not ever.
THe council elections - had no Reform Party on my ballot paper, so brexiteers unhappy with out things are going - have two choices:
Put up with it, as the democratic solution now shuts the 17m of us out completely, or rise up, and take over the country in the name of survival…
All the while those 17m people have still got most of what they started with - they WON’T rise up, of course…
“Managed Contentment” is the order of the day.
We cannot ever prosper again, because politics is too polarized to manage, at least this side of any future apocalypse.
The Media even portrays the Immigration issue as the main concern for Brexiteers…
Not true though - is it?
The main issue is simple prosperity.
We lose good things we had, we don’t gain good things we were promised, we get browbeaten down by bad things politicians do that they never even threatened us with, and get denied any upside whatsoever from things we’ve already voted for, that they don’t agree with.
Meanwhile, we get poorer by the hour, and they get paid an awful lot for each day of failing the public they commit…
Keir Starmer - clearly doesn’t have the answers, if he now plans to give votes to people you’ll never meet, and thus rig every future election “Democratically”. “Oh you lost, because there are now 12m extra people on the electoral rolls that you can’t prove even exist… Where we used to lose elections by 5-6m votes on the Left, in future we’ll be winning just so it doesn’t look too suspicious…” This is a device the EU wants to roll out around the world in partnership with the American Democratic National Congress. NO poltical party - is allowed a big majority, so the “Tyranny of the Majority” never happens again, when the “Majority” as an entire concept - is what made Democracy GOOD in the beginning…
Poltical Power - can do whatever it likes under the “Illusion” of Democracy. The system is no longer fit for purpose
I wonder if the Left Voting block can be won over by rolling out policies such as “35% one off payrise to the NHS, plus “CPI +2%” each year automatically whilst we remain in power”. ?
The Tories have been wrong to try and win over the NHS imo. This is very much Labour’s creation, and the Tories would have done better to have made BUPA affordable to all UK citizens… Instead though, they’ve made housing LESS affordable, and now stand to alienate their own voter base by devaluing housing 18 months ahead of a general election, which doesn’t strike me as very smart…
So Everyone gets Baige, everyone is miserable, the only ones happy are the Elites…
How does an ordinary person aspire to Elitehood?
You win the lottery, kneel before enough people in high places, and don’t support upstart political movements, other than the Far Left establishment-approved of such as BLM, Antifa, and Extinction Rebellion…
“Insitutionalized Evil” is all “Democracy” has become, and as such - it becomes another regime of History that is in dire need of overthrow, in favour of a new system that empowers those paying for it all - the taxpaying public.
The Tories have been told to do only things that are “Legal” as defined by hotshow Lawyers, but when it comes to “illegal Foreign Wars” - these same Lawyers - won’t ever stop our government from casually murdering citizens of other countries AND their own - whenever it suits their “Greater Purpose”.
Now we even have a new King who seems to have signed up to the Green agenda, breaking with Monarchy Tradition “not to get involved with politics”.
The Left would like to abolish the Monarchy, and the RIght, I suspect, - would like to see a return to Aboslute Monarchy coupled with Dynastic Change to wield the Rod of Iron that is so clearly needed in the world now.
For the time being, we have a Centerist monarch who’ll carry on impressing, pleasing, and “serving” no one at all, other than the same old political class that seems to benefit from our collective demise at every turn…
Yet we keep voting for this shower!?
I’m not bothered about “Immigration” - I just don’t want to be poorer in the future than I am now, “Don’t want tomorrow to be like today” as the words of the Auf WIedersehen Pet title song goes…
