Well look no further folks. You'll search and search but you'll never find a bigger load of bollocks on the internet this week. The EU acted in the common interest. You can take your xenophobia. Brexit has so far cost more than the entire cost of uk membership of the EU. Of course the EU isn't perfect. That's Utopia you're thinking of. Give us a shout when you find it. Life for most people in the UK was better than it was before we joined the common market and as sure as night follows day, it'll get worse now we've exited the EU. If you read my post I said "some validity". You've probably never met the average Joe, earning £21k per year and living in a rented house in a Midlands town. These are his views. I do agree that the UK will be worse off due to brexit, but now better off now the liar has gone.

I still think the 3 main reasons for Brexiteers are still partially valid.. The EU had never acted in the UK's interest. Opening up freedom of movement would allow loads of people into the country with different morals.. Romanians for example where organised crime is a way of life. The UK didn't get value for the billions paid to the EU. I think you could easily throw that back with - The EU bent over backwards giving the UK opt-outs etc that other members could only dream of. FOM helped the UK economy grow and now it's gone companies are struggling to fill job vacancies, then you've got the travel chaos that Brits will be suffering for years. Whilst the UK was a 'net contributor' people soon forget EU funding for various infrastructure projects, Erasmus, defence and security etc let alone agricultural subsidies. Farm subsidies, I know several farmers in Warwickshire, and pass many farms regularly. Several million worth of kit, a new discovery every year and kids in fee paying schools. Most get upwards of 250k pa in subsidies.

Jeremy Clarkson once said [of the striking public sector workers some years back] that they should all be dragged out and shot in front of their families. Most at the time thought it a bit extreme, but hey, it's Clarkson... I now want to take up this sentiment and apply it to anyone who voted for this stupid brexit thing. Seriously, how utterly stupid you all are. I go to Goodwood Revival every now and then - it is a motor sport thing - and every time I book tickets, they arrive at the start of August in a pretty presentation pack that is sent out by Goodwood via Royal Mail in an A5 document packet. All very professional. Mine arrived this morning with the now obligatory customs label showing value to be: Postage - 3.15, Presentation wallet - 0.25, Ticketing x 4, 4.00. Total 7.40. My friendly poste femme embarrassingly asked me for 10€....she had no breason or breakdown of the charge other than she is seeing it more and more on things coming in from brexitland as she does on items with African origin. This led onto a discussion on how the EU is breaking up and no one is friends any more... she is a very sweet person as you might gather! Now, I have sort of got used to paying a 3% duty plus admin charges on parts for my car renovations, but to pay 10€ for what is in effect, a letter is taking things to the extreme. So yes, if you are a brexit voter, please get rid of yourself in the most painful way you can think, or if you know any brexit voters, you have my blessing to purchase an assault weapon. There used to be an avid brexit chap on the forum way back - Yorkie something. What happened to it, or maybe it is still here with another name? It was a classic brexit muppet as it gloatingly used to tell us of its Irish passport... No doubt I will now be the devil incarnate No, it doesn’t in answer to the thread title………..

If average Joe is racist, which you imply, he probably voted Tory and leave and I've dodged a bullet by not meeting him. Nevertheless, your rhetoric isn't selling it. The favourite to take over, the Pound Shop Maggie Thatcher, will be an unmitigated disaster. Deck chairs and popcorn at the ready. The real shit show is about to commence.

Apparently her idea of states(wo)manship is to encourage people to ignore the elected leader of the Scottish Parliament. Classy
I'm sure the good people of Scotland will return the favour.

Most MPs supporting her are Boris followers.
So she will be Boris mk2, maybe just a few more truths though!

The publicity seeker posing outside Auschwitz. No respect.

And, cleverly, she's standing in the shade but illuminated by the westering sun. Almost as if it were photoshopped.

The publicity seeker posing outside Auschwitz. No respect. Nice to hear from you again. Small point. Sturgeon isn't calling Truss an attention seeker and claiming she'll ignore her. Aye and it's photoshopped. The most scrutinised politician in Britain is going to get away with that for all of 3 minutes and 37 seconds. Have a word with yourself Sherlock. When 30% of your post are about getting a rise out the same person, you might need to ask yourself some questions.

It's not 'photo shopped' and was taken when she visited Auschwitz in 2018, can't see the relevance of it though.
