Doris we try to explain the benefits but you and the rest of the remoaners just ignore it and say it is not true,you and the others should have 'Endexs' avatar a dog with a bone that you cannot leave alone

Bess

I think Brexit was not arranged for the convenience of tourists, and those people choosing to live or work outside Britain- or even the non-British coming to work in Britain, or citizens and residents of Eire.


tourists will still travel Brits will still live and work abroad and non British will still work in the UK,it is just the system and rules have changed

I will not ignore it, or put you down , so please tell me what the we get out of Brexit that we never had inside the EU?

Just as I thought. The same as every other brexiteer that I’ve asked that particular question. No answer cos they have no idea. 

You're certainly one very amusing lady Doris, its remoaners like you that make Brexit that much sweeter.  

I'm pulling your leg of course, but don't you think it's a little late for these same old boring questions and spats?  Accept it and move on, and that goes for all the other newspaper column quoting crew, get a life and put your mobiles down for 5 minutes in the day.

Intersting part of your reply is "the same old boring question" but maybe if you answered these questions they wouldnt still have to be asked.

search through the other countless threads about Brexit and you will read the replies to the same old questions,and you will see the same old answers,then the same old denials,then the same old claims of lies then the same old same old same old till the cows come home,

as has been said the MAJORITY of BRITS voted in favour of BREXIT,it has happened move on,make the most of what you have.

I am 100 sure that if us Brexiteers had lost the ref then we would have done just that,not called for a re-run,not kept whingeing and moaning trying to spread doom and gloom,

Tony is right. They have no answer as to why the U.K. is in this mess. The article is spot-on in calling those lacking comprehension - other than ‘We Won’ - R.A.B.I.E.S.

We should agree on a single word we can use to set the record straight, whenever it is implied that the consequences of Brexit are as mysterious as the Third Secret of Fatima or as inexplicable as the changing seasons were to our Neanderthal forebears. The new phenomenon that the word needs to capture is Rejecting All Brexit’s Inevitable Effects Syndrome. The acronym may work better: Rabies.

“I do not mean to imply for a moment that most Brexiteers are mad, even if many people, including in the UK, would be more comfortable if a few of the more pop-eyed Brexit cheerleaders were to self-isolate for a few decades. Still less do I wish for anything negative to happen to the British people. But I am concerned about the deliberate infantilisation of the British public who were not told about the real effects of Brexit in 2016 and who are still being misled, on a daily basis, about the relationship between their own Brexit vote and the inevitable consequences which they and their families and friends are now beginning to experience.”

RABIES - Rejecting All Brexit’s Inevitable Effects Syndrome. Remember that when you next meet a Brexit cultist, there are still a few lurking about 😉

Hardly overwhelming either.  Brexiteers crow about that majority as if it was a super majority.  It wasn’t. Not by a long mark.

“Remainers” no longer exist, some have become “rejoiners”.  Yet others are thinking .... “would we actually want this rather insignificant little country back?”

A proportion of “The Majority” voted due in large part to a huge amount of out and lies and misinformation fed them by vote leave. Any cautions as to what leaving would mean was labeled “project fear”.  Interesting I think that “project fear” is becoming reality.

But such is the power of Brexit that even Ministers get caught out telling flat-out lies to try and bolster it .... take Matt Hancock, telling a jingoistic flag waving multitude that because of Brexit, Britain was the first country to approve a vaccine.

Except it wasn’t.  Hungary was.

And Britain’s approval was still done under the auspices of EU law (as UK is bound until 31/12) - so bald-faced was that lie that even Boris didn’t back him up on that!!

A vaccine, developed by a German company by two Turkish scientists and produced in Belgium, is somehow hailed as a UK victory?  Brexiteers are SO desperate to show that what they voted for means something, they have to try and steal the limelight from those who truly deserve it, and flat-out lie about why they are getting it so quickly?

If that’s your idea of a Britain “taking on the world” blah blah blah you can keep it!! I think I’ll join the ranks of those saying “thank god those boorish oiks have left”

I do feel sorry of course for those whose dream of retiring here is now shattered, and for those who own holiday homes they will see less of, and indeed those now wanting just to come on holiday and find they have to prove they have the financial means to actually stay (90€ per day of holiday) and have to prove an itinerary and an address.

But it’s ok, because they all knew what they were voting for.  The Brexiteers keep telling us .... in fact the same people who made all the ummmmm “questionable” claims in support of Brexit in the first place ...

Well.  Tis December.  Good to see so many Turkeys still looking forward to Christmas
