Brexit. We’re out!

[Deleted account]

I do believe everyone that voted to leave thought it was going to be a seamless transition. Nothing would change, we would just be out the EU.

Naive? Possibly.... Lack of information? Probably.

I never believed it would be easy exiting europe.
Resistance by Europe and our own parliament was inevitable. They would try to stop it or block it or be as aukward as possible Because deep down they do not believe in democracy.

after all europe is an un elected body so democracy is the last thing they want.

Look what happened when democracy raised its ugly head. We voted leave.

we were conned into joining in the first place. we were told that trade with EU would be good. no import tariffs. so why did the price of smokes and booze not drop to EU levels? nope. same import tax as before. now we are out, same as before. and that's not to mention the EU's policy of letting food rot to inflate prices and pay bone idle french farmers with 1 cow and a goat to sit on their arses and do nothing

Yep, my main concern was the economic model and the thought of subsidising an ever increasing number of nations joining plus a flood of immigrants. What I didn’t understand was that we already had an advantage sat outside the Euro and as a sovereign state we also had control of our borders and chose not to. Still, as the economy crashes, no one will want to come here now anyway. ?

I'm getting an allotment soon; how do I go about exporting my spuds to Ireland?

First, I don, t do politics, but sorry to see you all go, (that includes those who wanted to and those who did, nt)

Second, when the spuds are ready to go, just give me a shout. I like 'em "floury" by the way!!!

prefer mine as chips to go with sirloin. maris pipers are the best, but could cope with king eddies at a push.

Do you know how hard it is to breed pedigree haggis?

That’s why there’s only a short hunting season (January) and we only have enough to feed the Scots.

People forget that this breed of Haggis lay Scotch eggs, which is a delicacy in many pubs.

Who will protect the status of the haggis now?

In the EU we had protection for this as well as Cornish pasties and Stornoway black pudding etc

fair comment, but atl least the frogggies and spanioles won't be allowed to poach your haggis any more. you can have the Scottish navy patrolling the haggis grounds. (at least after they done trying to find Nessie in Loch whatever).

I think you have a total misconception of the majority of leave voters based on the media's portrayal of a selective few...

Other than a few small hiccoughs which were predicted and expected, can you tell me what so far is evidence Brexit was a big mistake...

Maybe the fact that over 90% of the scaremongering predictions of what would happen have not, the fact we got a deal we were told was impossible, maybe the fact we now have full access to the Single market without the crippling membership fee or the miles of red tape we had to follow as part of the membership rules.

I post this on the day Japan invest billions in the UK car industry and battery technology plants because it see's the UK's new position in the world as a positive and bright future, not to mention that the UK had 1600+ requests from EU companies to move to the UK or open offices up here, think about the jobs and tax revenue for that.
All I still see is the mainstream media clutching at any tiny negative story to justify 4yrs of biased and they are simply falling flat on their faces, several MSM companies hanging around France and Dover post brexit to announce they were spot on only to find thing srunning smoothly, non existent queues to report on...

You can tell the desperation to make it look like a bad decision when the headlines are about a overzealous customs official taking the ---- out of EU rules and taking pack lunches away, a issue that was resolved in a day BTW or the couple who were not allowed on a flight, turned out to be incorrect details, a error on the airlines side...

Please list me all these negative and I will happily list the positive like our Exit from Erasmus which has save the UK over 250million a year and instead on 10,000 students it helped we set up a scheme called Turin that helps 35,000 to educate across the globe not just the EU and we are still 200 million better off... exactly where was that money going originally ?

can't say i'm up to date with all that, but great to see some +ve points re brexit. i voted leave, same as i voted against the buggers back in c. 1972. we are a nation, not a subservient state. like Poland, and a few others, was to USSR back in the day. the EU has become today's version of the USSR. corrupt money grabbing bar stewards. good riddance.
