BREXIT

I've realised that should've gone on the lockdown thread really. Ah well, we should probably just have one thread for all government misdoings.

Government complaining that the EU are... getting Brexit done.

Lol.

Business Secretary Kwasi Kwartend:

"With the Northern Ireland Protocol, nobody had any idea of the actual effects of it until we left the EU."

Hmmm, I think some of us did, mate!

I don't envy the pro-Brexit newspapers' task of having to come up with ways of telling people Brexit is working, or that it's someone else's fault it isn't.

I just hope people who voted for it hold the government to account, because they did promise them it would be a success. They should not accept any excuses for it not being. 

Saw a post by a Brexshitter on a community page earlier today where he claimed that the shortage of lorry drivers won't affect him getting grocery deliveries etc, as his comes in a van to his front door, not by lorry.

Much hilarity followed when the obvious was pointed out to him - which seemed to get him angrier and angrier by the second, and just as I was about to get a screenshot the post disappeared.

Meanwhile garden centres in the South West are having to give away £100,000+ worth of plants for free as those bloody foreign workers have been kicked out so can’t look after the plants. Well, they did say Brexit would make things cheaper…

Wetherspoons running out of beer. Well done, Tim.

Even better than that, you’ve now got the Daily Heil providing comedy gold headlines such as: “Let’s unite with the EU to crush the curse of border bureaucracy”.

Yes, the Daily Heil. They are now dreaming of a near-future whereby the U.K. can trade easily with other European countries without border delays, as if it was some sort of a “Union of Europe” or something, I guess.

👀

It does bring me some comfort to find that while I thought Brexit would benefit 1% and shaft the other 99% of us, it actually just seems to be shafting everybody.

Remember when Gove said during the referendum that we’ve had enough of experts? I think we all must have misheard him, pretty sure he meant expOrts… and imports…

It would be nice to hear from some of the Brexit cheerleaders on this site. Given what’s happened thus far, who or what do they think is to blame for the ongoing problems? Is it Brexit itself? Is it the Tories delivery of it (and let’s face it they’ve failed at most things)? Is it Remoaners not believing in it enough? Or is it the fault of foreigners?

The government are planning for a lockdown in October should hospitalisations continue at the current alarming rate.

I suppose these two monumental governmental cock-ups are interchangeable and easily confused.

I bet all these deluded working class Tories are delighted to be hit by this massive tax rise, especially as it stops the super-rich from having to put their hands in their very deep pockets.

Boris thinks that they were stupid enough to vote Brexit and still believe it was right so they will be happy to continue to do whatever he suggests is the right way forward. Even Cummings, who 'got Brexit don' only to be thrown to the wolves by those he got into well paid positions of authority, admitted that he has doubts about it being the right way forward.
