No Swiss,it isn't bollox. The reaction (submission) from the establishment after the referendum result gave the EU all the ammo it needed to make it a very rocky road for us. What should have happened is Cameron should have let them know that article 50 was being triggered immediately and we are open to talks. Instead,he fucked off, the appalling Theresa (remainer) May took the reins and bent over the table inviting the EU to dry fuck her (country) up the arse. Brexit was a wonderful opportunity for this country that was totally ballsed up by the very pro EU establishment.

Obviously what does matter to most Brexit voters is stopping immigration 
How is that going under Brexit?
You obviously aren’t painting enough roundabouts 
Even the most ardent Brexiteers admitted that in the short term it would harm the economy. Not sure what short term is but it’s been 5 years now and you would think all these so called new trade deals would see our economy improving or thriving as one Brexit poster would say. That’s not happened . 

Anyway the main point was to stop immigration which was the price to pay to loose the free trade agreement. This has failed and polls imply Brexit was a mistake.Why can’t wankers like Gank just admit it as so? 
You expected 50 years of bureaucracy undone in 5 years? Fair play. 

Still good to see those inside the EU are all happy and prosperous. 

Yep, immigration is just an issue for us, no idea why far right parties are huge in France and Germany right now.

Woukd be nice for people to be honest why they voted for it

I don’t know Boris
All I know is that he is an appalling buffoon who never should have been in public office 
We appeared to have a run of dismal Tory leaders 
Tory members even voted for Liz Truss
Those people are very quiet these days
The likes of Boris and Rees-Mogg used the middle aged , white working class for their need to Brexit voted in. Them being mugs bought it even though they don’t give a toss about the working class and made a lot of money for themselves and their toff friends.
So basically you're  saying middle - aged white working class chaps  are fuckwits ?

The biggest problem with Brexit wasn’t that we left it’s the Beauracratic cunts and their constant over reach. Way too many regulations and laws that are not popular or warranted.

Reign in the power of Brussels and people might be more inclined on rejoining. As it stands is a fucking mess and getting worse. Nobody can deny that. 


So if you want to blame anyone blame Brussels the whole thing started as a common market for trade and morphed into an unelected Dictatorship . No wonder people voted to leave.

What bollocks. A trade deal is a trade deal. It’s got fuck all to do with being behi;d it or not. The red tape previously we didn’t have is causing the issues plus the VAT. I have an English shop in the Brussels suburbs . Great place pre Brexit English Cheddar, Bacon , Sausages etc . Now they are too expensive to import so it’s all Irish produce. 
Cheese.

What a fucking wimp. Take the train back to London every 4-6 weeks, clear the shelves at your favourite Sainsbury's/Marks & Spencer's of cheese, bacon and sausages then toddle back. 

Easily doable in a day and you can look down your nose at everyone living in non-EU land while you're at it.

If you've got any business nous about you, you could probably fund the whole thing by bringing stuff back to the UK that we can't get any more on account of Brexit and flogging it on the streets of London.

Business have to trade within the environment that the population of a particular country chose to live by - they are not a special, over-riding case - that is the first step to stripping out democracy and replacing it with corporate-led globalisation.

It's not the fault of Brexit or those who democratically chose it that businesses didn't use the extra 4 years they were given to update and adapt THEIR processes to meet the post=Brexit environment.

If there's excessive red tape and paperwork, the best course of action is to take up the case with those who insist on such red tape and paperwork, not to keep blaming  the UK population.
As I have said before it is the fault of the Tories not the people who voted in that the government chose to to go for for the most damaging version of leaving the EU for the sake of idealogical purity.
They didn't have to do that but they actively chose to do it.
I remember Daniel Hannon saying that "nobody is talking about leaving the single market".
Leaving the single market was not on the ballot paper.
I agree with that, but I think a lot of the fuckeries were down to big business paymasters of certain politicians calling in favours big enough to force them to run roughshod over the will of the voters. in the hope of getting the whole thing cancelled (at no cost to themselves).

The UK was in the EU & had ease of trade with fellow EU countries
Not sure what businesses were supposed to do when faced with extra paper work and hoops to jump through trying to trade as they did before non EU members. They have to play by the rules that the EU demands of non members
What part of that trade is as easy or better than it was?
Still at least Brexit has reduced the arrival of Johnny Foreigner which was the aim of Brexit voters. It HAS hasn’t it?
And if that wasn’t the motivation of most voters what was?
As David Beckham would say BE HONEST 
As if business & trade are the only things that matter...

Mass deportations policy read it if you are interested I posted it once before ,To do this you would need a PM with a huge majority willing to repeal the equality act 2010 .Some of  the amendments made to existing  laws suggest taking responsibly from the home office for making decisions on immigration with no suggestion of who will make the aforementioned decisions on immigration issues

Read it maybe I got it wrong
