The Brexit Bad News Just Keeps On Coming
I posted a link to this guy’s youtube video for July 2022 detailing Brexit disasters for nearly every day of the month.
The horror continues – see the youtube video for August 2022.
I’ve search the internet for someone posting similar on the Brexit benefits and found nothing; despite being a remoaner, I’m about the only person posting Brexit benefits.
So in the interest of balance, below is my list of Brexit benefits:-
- Blue passports
- The Crown Mark on pub glasses
- Mobile phone companies able to make roaming charges
(when using your phone in mainland Europe)
- Killing our honey-bees with EU banned pesticides
- Not having to insure ride-on lawnmowers used on private land
- Signage within Dartford tunnel spaced at yardage distances (in round numbers)
- The freedom to release as much raw sewage as we like into our rivers and coastal waters (and doing so), without fear of being prosecuted by the European Commission
Our water companies are certainly taking full advantage of that last benefit!

"Brexiteers simply ignore the facts, preferring to live in ignorance of the Brexit damage to the UK. " - You 5C types just don't get it do you? You think benefits or lack of are purely financial, they are not, the main benefit to us is what we have, sovereignty. We don't care about your cherry picked stats.
at the risk of being accused of stalking you again fatticuss some like me can see the negatives of Brexit but see no point in banging on about them as it wo'nt bring us back in.... in fact we'd never get back in on anything like good terms, the Eu would see to that....we are out and lets make the best of it from there

How do you propose we make the best of it when all the benefits of it have not even vaguely taken shape and the polar opposite has occurred to what we were told?
Still waiting for answers to that!

I don't need to answer it cos it's a silly question... its up tothe tories and hopefully kier to do whatever to make the best of it.. but I know that banging on about it is pointless apart from a few who get pleasure out of a pointless exercise. Maybe you could enlighten us on what good will come from banging on about brexit
….and if that wasn’t bad enough, Truss has the option to put a windfall tax on the oil and gas companies but no, she’d rather screw us over.
Interesting to note that
the biggest single donation to the Truss leadership campaign was
£100,000 that came from Fitriana Hay, wife of James Hay, a former BP executive.
The boss of BP was even quoted as saying ‘we are making more money than we know what to do with’.
Noteworthy too that she is hoping to obviously emulate Thatcher, who in the 1980’s did this:
Thatcher’s then chancellor, Geoffrey Howe, accused high street banks of escaping the recession. He introduced a special budget levy that creamed off 2.5% of the banks’ non-interest-bearing current account deposits to generate about £400m in extra revenue – equivalent to around a fifth of their profits in those 12 months.
The following year, Treasury officials came to the same conclusion when oil prices soared, and imposed a special tax, raising £2.4bn. North Sea oil firms argued at the time that extra taxes would limit investment, but the industry flourished.
In short, they could do it if they wanted to, but won’t because they’re in league with the oil and gas companies.
Truss even worked for Shell at one point.

Aka you mean you can’t because you believed the false promises just as much, admit it!
Most did tbf, I certainly did.
The benefits were supposed to be immediate yet 3 years on its drastically worse and our economy has the lowest growth forecast in Europe.
