Shhhhhh 🤫 You’re not allowed to say it’s because of Brexit. It’s because of Covid and Ukraine.

But as the article pointed out, the rest of the world had those too 🤔

I wonder what a labour government will do should they gain power.
Possibly move ultra right wing and torpedo any small boats moving into UK waters.
Possibly Mr Farage will get back on the red bus and hoodwink many again about a Turkish invasion.
Certainly it’s not going to be about all that money we now apparently have to save the NHS and seek out the great new trade deals.
OR will the 61% with all the lights now on and in realistic mood; gather support and emphasise the democracy that took the UK out in the first place.

I hope so . If nothing else but to allow me, once again free, legal and fair access to Cyprus

And here he goes again. Shady Pines, Home For The Bewildered.

You have ‘free, legal and fair access to Cyprus. If you were that concerned, perhaps you should have just bought down South. Although, that wouldn’t really help you now, unless you applied for residency.

Your continual moaning about Brexit won’t change the fact that it is done!!

Words which may be familiar to some:

And we have done those things which we ought not to have done;
And there is no health in us.”

Nothing to see here.

Brexit is done.

Anyone who thinks the U.K. will rejoin within the next 20 years is deluded.

It is what it is, embrace it. adjust and be flexible to make it work.

Tongue in cheek and not meant to upset anyone - BUT

Nothing to see here. - No discrimination here!

Brexit is done. - Peace in our times!

Anyone who thinks the U.K. will rejoin within the next 20 years is deluded. - The horseless carriage will never take over!

It is what it is, embrace it. adjust and be flexible to make it work. - Keep stuffing your children up the rich peoples chimneys for a pittance!

Everything changes, it is called progress - Women did get the vote after all - Politicians never suffer for any of their mistakes - The World is not flat after all, although some people still believe it is - lol.

Freedome (Of speech) is one of the things we fought for!!!!

I'm not a Brit though very pro the EU for world 'order' as a unit and an advocate for the UK to remain; a very good summing up of the real reality yet to come!
Well done for having found at least one non-brexiter on this forum who has spoken out with sense.
It never ceases to amaze me the amount of ex-pat communities in Spain, France, TRNC etc. voted to leave, shooting themselves in the foot and wallet

we were in and clearly we are now out. All via the British democratic route.
Surely and clearly the majority can now see the predicted damage , failures and the lack of post Brexit direction.
Of course it’s done. Please some, hold back with the obvious!
To not seek out remedy would be criminal and anyone taking that position of make do only reflect upon their failings in life.
I do hope the majority can soon rectify the lead taken my the gullible sheep that followed the pied pipers.

Unless of course someone or anyone can tell me how we are better off, happier or in a better place. Then of course we may possibly have something to build upon, with goals and aspirations to become a real success

The remedy being to overturn a democratic vote?

What is interesting is we were not allowed a vote on this for over 40 years & when we were allowed one we didn’t choose what was expected.
I’t seems the remoaners want us to vote on this every 6 months until they get the answer they want.
One thing you can be absolutely 100% certain of, if they do get the result they want you will never ever be allowed another vote & the opportunity to disagree with what your given opinion should be.
That I can guarantee you.

Democracy..precisely!
We were in then out.
I hope that the same democracy will rectify the clear error.
Unless of course you can provide some or even one significant benefit.
Perhaps the NHS has indeed benefited from the £350 million that was used to win EU trade.

It’s been best part of 7 yrs. no not 6 months

No wish to overturn the democratic choice made.
It just happens that the majority now feel it was indeed a mistake.
A predicted one intact if you recall.

Great news for this British business.
Unfortunately the Brexit folly, in my opinion, is not remedied by a single snippet of such good news

The linked video in initial post puts the Brexit iT in a very well and light hearted manor that should be clear to all

I remember all the remoaners saying the next General Election would reveal how many had subsequently changed their mind. What it did was reveal was Labour strongholds voting Conservative for the 1st time in their history to ensure Brexit was done.

Re democracy were we to vote to rejoin the EU I know for sure that you would want any subsequent vote on perhaps leaving it blocked & never to be spoke of again.
Starmer looks as if he will win the next election. He is very pro EU so why doesn’t he say he will hold another referendum?
If it’s as popular as you say then it is surely showing up as a vote winner when his party does it’s polling? He wants it. The country apparently wants it, so why not?

You have zero interest in democracy. If the military offered a coup which would put us back in the EU you would wet yourself with excitement and be waving that flag. The EU fundamentally changed from 1975 to 2015. Did we get to vote on it? Were you on the slightest bit bothered?

Military coup!!
Rather drastic and certainly not going to happen.
You are clearly the anti European living outside of the UK but in Europe or even the EU !!
I,m afraid that in the commercial world the customer is always right and customer service wins every time.
As we now progressively lose our EU customer base. The UK must compete with an entity that indeed still writes the rules wether we are in the room our just listening from outside.


Regardless. There is definitely a shift in pre Brexit opinions and viewpoints as serious issues such as the Irish issue and as illustrated within the younger in cheek sketch referee too.

To you, it appears that pride disallows you to admit error or any to any sort of poor judgment .
Certainly there has been absolutely no forthcoming notions of positivity that we were promised by the pied pipers.

Airbus, Airbus Helicopters and Airbus Defence and Space – leads their respective market, relying on diverse skills, advanced technologies and facilities, that can only be found in the UK, across more than 25 sites stretching across the country from Aberdeen to Portsmouth.
with its global influence in the aerospace, defence, space and security sectors, remains an important part of Airbus; much as Airbus remains an important part of the UK – with local revenues of £4.4 billion.

Simply put
You present absolutely no positives for me or indeed anyone upon how brexit can be deemed a success.

I think you’re one of many whose pride prevents you from saying that we possibly made a mistake.

7 yrs on . It’s time to be honest, assess and realign.
And please don’t preach the “wait and see” slogan
It’s a non contested disaster for the UK it’s people and to a lesser extent the EU and the world order.

The U.K. left the EU just over 3 years ago.

Anyone who thought that after almost 40 years of being in the EU it would all be plain sailing immediately after leaving, really isn’t living in the real world.

Some struggle to adapt to change and because it’s all about them, will always find a reason to keep moaning about how unfair it is.

I was up in London Town a couple of weeks ago and fair play to those remainers stood in the middle of a road junction outside the H of P in the rain. There were only about 20 of them, lead by the top hatted gent who is always there. A few waving their blue starry flags and blowing whistles. Just like the referendum result it was democracy in action and nice to witness.

Tbh the EU very rarely comes up in conversation with my family or friends. The majority whatever their views have moved on. In the U.K. the state of the NHS is now the main topic of discussion and when we are in the TRNC it’s about residency, the Cyprus problem and Kibtek power outages.

We move on.

To be honest, I really haven't noticed a great deal of difference to my personal circumstances since we left the EU. The only exception to that is the increase in whingers and bad losers that Brexit has thrown up. Time to stop living in the past guys.

7 yrs on . It’s time to be honest, assess and realign.
And please don’t preach the “wait and see” slogan
It’s a non contested disaster for the UK it’s people and to a lesser extent the EU and the world order.
It’s not 7 years is it? As the remoaners tried every trick in the book to stop a democratic vote it’s 3. It happened just in time for us to lock the world down for 2 years & now wonder why the world’s economies have crashed. Who’d have thought?

As Posh said, no-one thought it would be an easy transition. I always thought it was going to be like leaving a book or record of the month club.

What you don’t seem to grasp is the reason the Red Wall voted Conservative in 2019 to get Brexit done. For 40+ years the people in these areas & others had read what a wonderful thing the EU was while seeing their lives get progressively worse.
Sure some could send Phoebe to Rome for a subsidised year to do her Art History course but the Red Wall voters & others were more concerned that their children had very limited options getting a job.
Basically in 2016, 52% of the people decided to show that they weren’t convinced by the media.
When you are peeing on my head you can write as many articles as you like, you are never going to convince me it’s just raining.

Some did well under the EU, obviously yourself, some did worse & for many it made zero difference to their lives

Convinced by the media.
Laughable . The red bus media. Save the Uk from a 3 million person Turkish invasion or the £350 million a week for the NHS. Show that today to Junior doctors on strike over the now broken NHS.
The negatives that are so important are yet again overlooked. For example
Every single UK citizen will be negatively impacted by the absence of the UK from the European Horizon science scheme.
Ask professor Brian Cox. Disasterous! Or is that also a covid backlash.
I use this as just a tiny example of how everyone in the UK is or has lost so much. So many never mentioned losses that Joe wouldn’t even think about.

ETS…Joe
Please wake up and smell the coffee or possibly taste the pee.
69% apparently are reported to now wish to be in the EU
What would you like to say to these voters?
It’ll be main stream politics now on in.
As truth and momentum gathers.
Which party will move first to gain voter favour?.

What did you expect to happen?
Are you concerned over the Brexit Irish problem
Are you concerned over the lack of new trade deals?
Are you concerned how trade with the EU is evaporating.
Are you concerned that our border controls are broken
Are you concerned over the UK economy being so short of labour previously provided by Europeans
Are you concerned that the cost of and routes to Kibris are now negatively impacted
Are you concerned over the hard line being taken by our European customer base.
Just a snippet of course. I leave you to watch the lead video to enlighten you upon the immigration theme.

These things may not affect you directly but certainly you should ask yourself.
What did I vote for if I see no real change? Particularly as so many are indeed directly and negatively impacted.

Simply put
You present absolutely no positives for me or indeed anyone upon how brexit can be deemed a success.

I think you’re one of many whose pride prevents you from saying that we possibly made a mistake.

7 yrs on . It’s time to be honest, assess and realign.
And please don’t preach the “wait and see” slogan
It’s a non contested disaster for the UK it’s people and to a lesser extent the EU and the world order.
The U.K. left the EU just over 3 years ago.

Anyone who thought that after almost 40 years of being in the EU it would all be plain sailing immediately after leaving, really isn’t living in the real world.

Some struggle to adapt to change and because it’s all about them, will always find a reason to keep moaning about how unfair it is.

I was up in London Town a couple of weeks ago and fair play to those remainers stood in the middle of a road junction outside the H of P in the rain. There were only about 20 of them, lead by the top hatted gent who is always there. A few waving their blue starry flags and blowing whistles. Just like the referendum result it was democracy in action and nice to witness.

Tbh the EU very rarely comes up in conversation with my family or friends. The majority whatever their views have moved on. In the U.K. the state of the NHS is now the main topic of discussion and when we are in the TRNC it’s about residency, the Cyprus problem and Kibtek power outages.

We move on.
Yes we move on.
The discussion is how how the UK recovers from the folly of leaving the EU.
Certainly in Kibris the topic is of very little importance bar the predicable difficulties and increased costs for UK travellers entering via the EU

It is not surprising that many give no time to discuss the future of the UK as a stand alone trading nation.
Most are only onlookers and have no influence bar their voting rights,

Of course it is now quite clear that there is a majority for being back in the EU.
Democracy will prevail once again hence my
‘ I hope so ‘ opener.
It is fair and proper for one of the lead political parties to register and capitalise on what is certainly a vote winner.

Let’s see what comes forth in due course.

Waz - Firstly please acknowledge we left the EU just over 3 years ago. Nothing would have changed in the 4 years between voting to leave and actually leaving.

Then as you have also failed to acknowledge there has been a global pandemic causing countries to lockdown, economies to falter and concentrate the mind of politicians all over the world. No sooner is that over and Mr Putin decides to stir things up, again impacting on energy costs. Any government would find all of the above challenging and the focus has been changing to ensuring it’s citizens were adequately protected from a deadly virus, trying to support businesses and then protecting its citizens yet again against the spiralling energy costs.

So 3 years of turmoil which I am sure hasn’t helped. However; despite all of this a Brexit agreement has been reached. There is still work to do. The NI problem will be resolved, trade deals will be done and slowly I believe whatever political party is in power things will improve.

I am sorry that Brexit has inconvenienced you, especially your business and travel interests. However; it’s not about one person and I maintain many have far more pressing concerns much closer to home.

We had 47 years of the EU and anyone who thought that after the last 3 years since leaving, the U.K. would be a land of milk and honey is just a little deluded.

Like I said in my family and wide circle of friends here in the U.K. Brexit is not a topic of conversation.

Posh
It is of no suprise that Brexit is not a topic of conversation within your own family.
It is not in mine so often too.

What is in conversation in political, economic, business, scientific, and security circles is how the UK recovers from the clear damage done to date.
These very conversations are of little interest to most including yourself as they have little direct consequence .
These critical and very important conversations and future actions are extremely important to every UK citizen.
It would never be the case that any status quo is acceptable. The world stage continues to move on a daily basis
It is my view that Putin has identified a weaker Europe after the departure of the UK. His military actions have been precisely planned around that combined with the world turmoil after covid.
One must take a global view of world order and to simply not discuss indicates a lack of understanding or interest.
I have no issue with this position as most people are indeed not interested.
The long game is now in play. Major global players vie for advantage and position
My view is that the UK is noticeably being left behind as Europe remains a global player of immense importance.

Your simplistic viewpoint is fine for you and many.
Those involved in the critical list of conversation groups above are and remain in serious discussion and conversations to rectify

You should be thankful that these talks are underway as the underlying consequences will effect everyone

Waz - Yet again I ask please acknowledge the U.K. only left the EU 3 years ago.

Secondly please acknowledge that since leaving the EU there has been a world global pandemic and also a crisis in Europe due to a certain Mr Putin.

Thirdly and finally please do let me know if none of the above have had an impact on the U.K. economy and indeed world economies and if so the reasons why.

I am happy to debate with you but you always carefully avoid answering the questions posed. All you do is repeat your same mantra about the U.K. being left behind and how Brexit has really hurt your business interests and travel arrangements.

I acknowledge the UK left the EU some 3 yrs ago
The departure plan or indeed lack of same commenced immediately after the referendum result
It is my view that loss and damage started immediately post referendum particularly in economic and business circles.
I have illustrated some aspects of damage and loss
It is certainly not centred only upon my own losses and new but predictable difficulties.
If you feel you are in a better or stronger position or can present any positives post Brexit I’m all ears
I have asked several to comment or offer up same. The silence is deafening
