I don't understand the question.

The UK population voted for it, and that is it.

End of.

And the vlog isn't skewed or biased either way?
The main problem has been created in our politicians being mainly remainders and doing everything in their power to prevent us leaving.
There would have probably been a better result if we'd done the cliff edge version.
Even now if commentators and politicians did their utmost to just get on with things than constantly reviving the argument we'd be in a better place.
F*cking Major, Maastricht should never have been signed without a referendum which would have certainly voted against joining the EU as full members instead of remaining as members of what was the Trading Bloc.
Remind us what the benefits of Brexit (not Common Market) actually were?

A question I have asked loads of times, what benefits have the U.K. had since Brexit, we left the biggest trading conglomerate on the planet, you can’t disagree how much food prices have gone up, U.K. citizens have to have visas to visit or work in EU countries, oh forgot you got your blue passport back. Pensioners who wanted to retire to the EU are now limited to 90 days at a time.
Ask all the musicians/performing artists the hoops they have to jump through to perform in the EU and the kids who want to study there ?

Some old bloke who lives half way round the world apparently, obsessed with the EU…….strange hobby.
Surely you’d be more interested in your new homeland far far away..
Puzzling that.

9 years ago, have another referendum and the result would be different, stopped freedom of movement resulting in increased immigration from countries outwith the EU, India etc.

It was a daft thing to do leaving the EU. Just because the majority of people who bothered theory arses to vote, voted to leave doesn't make it the rocky decision. It's more a world where economic and military welly is king. We decided to go alone. Brilliant.

Leaving wasn’t a mistake. Entrusting the implementation of Brexit into a bunch of people who didn’t want it definitely was.

Mean jack shit because you don’t know, people want to live, attend universities and work in the EU, you need to broaden your outlook, there is a big wide world out there. If we had still been the EU the boaties could have sent back, check the number of boaties pre Brexit.

If we still were in the EU now we’d be liable to accept 100,000 refugees a year under the ‘sharing out scheme ‘…you keep that quiet.
But you are very selective.

Who says they're always going to manage?

Who says the EU is going to manage…there’s no certainty for anyone
A vote was taken, which surprised me, but a vote was taken and if anyone was too idle to vote shame on them and me, but it was taken.

If the vote had been to stay there’d be none of these conversations, it would be forgotten about.
But some people just can’t lose gracefully nowadays.
I might not agree with the vote but I expect the result to be accepted.

You know exactly what I'm on about with alliances.

Believe it or not I was aware the vote was taken. Thats a reason to shut down conversation? I think it is perhaps a sore area of discussion for people who wanted Brexit.

I think you’re over thinking this…a vote was taken …. Anything else is irrelevant.
The only bitterness, which I see, is the losers.

We didn't get the Brexit that was promised because our leaders decided that the vote was not in our best interests and acted to dilute the process as much as possible, Starmer is still doing it FFS.
The electorates decision should have been implemented as promised and who knows where we'd be now if that had been delivered?
It's fair enough discussing the pros and cons of the version we got, but it doesn't make the outcome of the vote wrong. Surely the focus now should be on making the best of things, not constantly pining for the past. The EU for all it's might hasn't got a co-ordinated position and strategy for the war in next door neighbouring Ukraine, that to me says they should have stuck to the original trading group premise rather than the failing drive towards the United States of Europe.

It’s interesting that 9 years ago a fairly narrow win for Brexit is cited as you lost get over it, accept it move on the country has spoken.
Less than a year ago the fourth highest number of seats in history led to a Labour GE win, the outrage against them started within a week.
They’ve made a piss poor job of it at times and can’t see them getting in next time but the fact now people can sit on echo chamber social media sites has a lot to answer for.

Not pining for the past? It would obliterate a big wedge of discussion on here!

Teaming up is way forward to put it simply. World powers are flexing their muscles. European countries need to pool their power. Brexit is getting in the way of that. It was overall a bad move.

As I said, European countries can't even agree about a co-ordinated response to the war on their doorstep.
As a trading bloc the EU is indeed a mighty force, but otherwise and especially in defence they are minnows relying almost totally until very recently upon NATO and the USA.
If we are looking backwards, signing up to Maastricht was a disastrous move.

From the man who lives on the other side on the other side of the world and says life is great over there…why your daily disturbing pedantic rant about the EU..?

As for loads of migrants from anywhere coming in ..it’s about time we tackled the outrageous number of people not working and got them earning their keep and we wouldn’t need them coming in…but are employers paying the minimum wage to these new workers.

The outrage had nothing to do with the size of the vote, the outrage started with a series of self inflicted cock ups…you’ve just admitted it yourself and conceded the point.
You voted Labour didn’t you…….buyers remorse…or discovering it was a ‘Labour Government Jim, but not as we know it’…..if you were expecting socialist policies you’ll have been sorely disappointed.

Leaving wasn’t a mistake. Entrusting the implementation of Brexit into a bunch of people who didn’t want it definitely was.

that about sums it up without being long winded. those who voted to leave did not get the brexit they wanted. remainers will always be remainers. would those who have voted to leave actually would have voted for a watered down brexit we got or would have abstained or voted to remain. personally i feel we ended up with the worst of both worlds.

As I said, European countries can't even agree about a co-ordinated response to the war on their doorstep.
As a trading bloc the EU is indeed a mighty force, but otherwise and especially in defence they are minnows relying almost totally until very recently upon NATO and the USA.
If we are looking backwards, signing up to Maastricht was a disastrous move.

Bit like a top end fashion store in Knightsbridge….. with no security guards.

It’s interesting that 9 years ago a fairly narrow win for Brexit is cited as you lost get over it, accept it move on the country has spoken.
Less than a year ago the fourth highest number of seats in history led to a Labour GE win, the outrage against them started within a week.
They’ve made a piss poor job of it at times and can’t see them getting in next time but the fact now people can sit on echo chamber social media sites has a lot to answer for.

The outrage had nothing to do with the size of the vote, the outrage started with a series of self inflicted cock ups…you’ve just admitted it yourself and conceded the point.

I voted Labour for only the second time as I was fed up with the piss taking clown show the Conservatives had become, I think that went for a lot in the last election. The same conservatives are now berating Labour for not doing things they had 14 years to do, politics eh, dummy’s the lot of them.

I reckon they should unite as they’re like Siamese twins joined at the hip…I expected something different from Labour..and got something just as bad …. sadx
ConLab has a certain ring to it …short for ‘Concocted in a Laboratory’…because they all act like robots.
