RE: Fed not alone in spoofing the people!25 Feb 2023 12:04
I remember when the Brexit vote was announced telling my English workmates that Brexit had the potential to cause serious problems in Northern Ireland.
It turns out I was correct.
The DUP supported Brexit but have been bleating on about the protocol when if fact they should have been sharing responsibility for the mess that they helped create. I believe that in their warped view Brexit would have put a border back on Ireland, instead of where it ended up between mainland and Northern Ireland.
I agree with tibbs - we either need to re-join the EU and remove all borders or join the single market which will result in the same.
The main thrust of the brexiteers argument was brexit would allow the UK to take back control of borders and stop illegal immigrants...this has clearly and spectacularly failed.
The second main argument was trade deals with the world....this has also failed spectacularly. The US for example will not sign a deal with UK until the mess around northern Ireland is dealt with to its satisfaction. Other trade deals leave the UK no better off than before.
Fishermen feel lied to
Farmers Feel lied to
The country feels lied to....and they are right!
