Nigel Farage saying: “If Brexit is a disaster I will go and live abroad. I’ll go and live somewhere else.” 27 March 2017

We were also promised this.
Kindly piss off then.

I feel much more anger towards the British pundits & politicians who failed to understand the depravity & derangement of Donald Trump than I do the ones who failed to understand the idiocy of Brexit. But it doesn’t really matter because they’re exactly the same bloody people.

Brexit: So much work. So much time. So many resources. So much red tape. And yet so little progress. In fact, just relentless loss, risk and failure. It’s so mind-numbingly tedious.
And no one who did this damage is ever held to account. But god they make a fuss about fixing it.

Finnish President Alexander Stubb,

"Brexit was a colossal mistake"

"I'm too diplomatic to express exactly what I think about those who promoted Brexit"

"It's not only like shooting yourself in the foot"

"It's like amputating your leg without a medical reason for doing it"

Left: Jacob Rees-Mogg to Steve Bray, "Brexit is marvellous.. We've saved billions"

Right: "Brexit costing UK up to £90bn in lost tax revenue a year"

Political people love to debate who the worst modern PM in modern times was but it's unquestionably Cameron.

10 years ago this week he gambled the prosperity and fragile unity of the UK on a referendum on an issue that most people didn't even understand to placate back benchers and fucked us all.

Young people did not have a say in the Brexit referendum but have to live with the consequences. It's not surprising that a staggering majority of them would want to rejoin the EU.

I'm sure everyone who voted for Brexit will be glad to learn they made Epstein and Thiel happy
Totally worth it - and obviously a good idea since it helped their agenda, who wouldn't want that?
Peak "taking back control"

It is so embarrassing that it has taken nearly a decade for a British minister to say this, a statement of the absolute bloody obvious

🚨🚨" Some leaders have chosen to hunt them down and deport them through operations that are both unlawful and cruel. My government has chosen a different way: a fast and simple path to regularize their immigration status." Spanish PM Pedro #Sanchez on why #migrants are essential for Western society:

The Telegraph who hate illegal immigrants, advising Brits how to be illegal immigrants.

FWIW - we know about Epstein backing Trump - but what about Brexit? Some preliminary analysis of his comments on the EU Ref in 2016

Interestingly cryptic email from Jeffrey Epstein to Peter Thiel, 26 June 2016:

"Brexit, just the beginning"

No fireworks. No parties. No flags. No celebrations.

No comments from the Brexit leaders. No "wasn't that a great idea."

Six years after we left the EU - everyone knows it was a disaster.

But....

“In the UK, Brexit is no longer the shouting match it once was. It’s worse than that. It’s background noise. A constant drag. Less trade, less influence, less opportunity — and a political class that mostly wants to stop talking about it and move on.”

— Peter Corr, Director of National Rejoin March

I doubt many people would instinctively recall that January 31st 2026 tomorrow is the sixth anniversary of actual Brexit day. (The tenth anniversary of 23rd June 2016 will be a much bigger deal).

The Daily Express can't claim to speak for Britain with his headline - but clearly feels it does

Faced with the deranged threats and wild madness of Trump’s presidency, our Brexit ‘sovereignty’ couldn’t be more costly… and yet worthless.
Farage and Badenoch would rather bend the knee to the US monster than admit that our future is with Europe.
The deceit is pathological. Sociopathic. Ruinous.

Facebook reminds me that on this day in 2017 a woman turned to me in the veg section of Sainsbury's and said "hopefully now we've left the EU we can have loose carrots that aren't wet"

Never understood the whole "Brexit betrayed" thing.

How can you "betray" and abstract idea which could never be fully agreed on even by its biggest proponents.

Stage direction: To be repeated for at least 10 years.

‘Mutual free movement’ for UK and EU citizens supported by 84% of Brits, in stunning new poll Omnisis poll suggests opposition to free movement was based on lack of awareness and the UK government failing to enforce the rules

At a production line producing his pricey air rotation devices James Dyson is seen sticking his head through the circular opening of one of the fans.

Those nifty little personal guillotines might have a use after all …

Apparently engaging with the EU is all about economics, while also avoiding freedom of movement. Sigh.

Anyone hoping to rejoin has a very very long wait.

Frankly, if you're a rejoiner over 50, I'd suggest taking up stamp collecting or bird watching instead. It'll be more fulfilling.

That time in 2015 when Owen Paterson, a prominent Leave campaigner and former UK Environment Secretary said in the context of Brexit and the EU’s single market,

"Only a madman would actually leave the market"

2025: Priti Patel says Labour adopting Erasmus is a betrayal of Brexit

2020: Priti Patel was Home Secretary when her boss Boris Johnson said Erasmus would not be taken away because of Brexit

In order to reverse Brexit we need it to be front and centre of political discourse. To help would you please sign and especially share this petition to rejoin the EU. Thank you very much.

75 BREXIT BENEFITS TANGIBLE BENEFITS FROM THE UK HAVING LEFT THE EUROPEAN UNION GULLY FOYLE With Foreword by Sir John Redwood

So, I’ll be spending the next few days working my way through the supposed 75 Brexit Benefits.

If someone wouldn’t mind passing me my marigolds and hazmat suit, I would be much obliged.

The Farage Tax: What The UK Pays For One Man's Ego GDP down, investment down, wages down - but Farage’s influence? Higher than ever

All the losses we’ve faced from Brexit over the past nine years - which turn out to be far more significant than previously?

Start referring to them as Farage Taxes.

The German President is in the UK for a state visit - the first one in 27 years.

We took to the streets in Germany to ask Germans what the first thing that comes to mind when they think about the UK. 🤔

“It feels legitimate still to be asking the big question: were Britain’s interests served by leaving the EU? And it is reasonable to note how the foreign state that saw the greatest benefit to itself in fracturing Europe’s democratic alliances … is Vladimir Putin’s Russia.”
