Mike I am not re fighting brexit I’m asking about the tangible benefits to “Joe public”, of which there are none. Wigwam listed a whole lot of perceived pluses of brexit, absolutely none of which will make a bit of difference to the man on the street. So when will we see the benefits and what will they be?
Hi Brydo,
My reply ( or replies it seems- shaking fingers ? ) was a bit of a ‘cover all’ in that some are clearly seeing the EU through rose coloured specs, and blaming Boris , and anyone who is an idle rich bassssd for promoting this Rich Man’s Brexit , whereas the truth is, that he carried out the wishes of the electorate , the majority of which, who voted to leave, were not rich, or even ‘well off’, ( and whether they were right or wrong in their decision, matters little) they spoke- he listened , which is almost unheard of, and highly commendable and btw, he had every right to campaign to leave just as others campaigned to stay .
Also, accusations of lying over the message on the big red bus have been raised, but he only promoted the message, not personally designed and painted it as some seem to think, and frankly it pales into insignificance compared to the remain campaign ‘ Project Fear is Us ‘- which is where the really disgraceful lies were generated – Spin and lies , absolute nonsense & promoting fear to the weak & vulnerable which got worse & worse as Freedom Day’ drew near!
I actually voted to remain, but changed my mind about remaining based on the disgraceful lies generated by Remain and Project Fear.
Brexit was , of course, almost derailed by the Pandemic, and it matters not whether Boris or anyone else was in no 10 , it was a double edged sword for any PM.and it will take much more time now, than originally envisaged for the benefits of Brexit to come to the fore
