Why Brexit Didn’t Work

I knew a break from the EU bureaucracy would free Britain from so much bullshit & fees, and even though I knew instinctively that Britain was being punished for that decision, I wasn’t smart enough to find the facts to back up that claim—and surely & solely lacked enough of an understanding of economics to create a confident narrative.

Tom Luongo does.

Here it is.

@Lash,

You didn't know anything.

You live an ocean away.

Brexit was going to be a disaster from the off.

We can no longer live and work or even the mainland without additional paperwork.

It's not about Britain being punished, it's about the people believing far right bullshit from the likes of Farage and Johnson.

It's called reaping what you sowed.

The sooner we get back in the better.

Tom Luango should stick to American politics.

@izzythepush,

Use of pesticides has increased, food regulation is laxer.

That is all down to the last Tory government.

Indeed.

What wonders me is that some people even now, after all that years and after all the results aren't able to get what is was/is about.

@Walter Hinteler,

If there is one positive thing Brexit has achieved, it has been to have a salutary effect on rightwing continental politicians’ opposition to the EU.

I suppose, however, that this just another of Lash's threads she starts and then leaves.

Corrected.

@Walter Hinteler,

I preferred putting this in the Brexit thread I’d started earlier, but Izzy murdered it.

@Lash,

You could have used the Brexit 2 thread.

I know what I'm talking about.

You're more familiar with Narnia than Brexit.

Brexit was never going to work.

We were accused of doommongering when we pointed out the flaming obvious, and the reality is even worse.

I wish I’d seen it previously.

@Lash,

Your other Brexit thread was totally misleading, it gave the impression an overwhelming majority wanted to leave the EU.

That was/is not the case.

The vote was very close and if it was held today it would be overwhelmingly in favour.

@izzythepush,

It was intentionally sabotaged because it was an organic, people-driven stab for more local control—a brave rejection of globalism and control from afar.

But, yeah, the baby was strangled soundly in its crib.

Sad to see.

Now, we’re all on the conveyor belt to whatever it is that the puppet-masters have in mind. There’s not much to do now but comply.

They got it (Brexit) - where is your problem?

It was sabotaged to punish them—and send a message to others who may want more local control. Like a mafia.

Could you please explain to me why the consequences of leaving the EU were punitive? Are you even aware of the various EU treaties that the UK signed and then cancelled? (If not - no problem: many in the UK didn't, too) What does a treaty cancellation have to do with mafia?

@Lash,

How do you think it was "sabotaged"? Maybe it was simply a mistake, a decision made on ideologically-driven conclusions, without sufficient anticipation of its actual effect in the material world. You are confusng "local control" with economic nationalism.

@Walter Hinteler,

That's the problem there, uniformed bullshit based on prejudice and pig ignorance.

You can see how Trump got in.

You better be good,
You better not cry,
You better not pout,
I'm telling you why,
Tom Luongo's coming to town.

He doesn't know if you're sleeping,
He doesn't know if you're awake,
He knows **** all.

Tom Luongo's ideological affiliation:
