It would be nice to see more who supported leaving the EU accept the reality of the situation. Sadly, too many would happily see the country got to shit and blame foreigners, rather than admit they were wrong, or lied to.
I’m still waiting for any upsides of brexit. Genuinely. Could someone please tell me how this farce has improved my life?
I still can’t understand the ” propaganda Brexit ” that happened in that year since I wasn’t living in UK at that point. What was the reason of all this Brexit after all?
I am terribly sorry for the ones who suffer from Brexit. Even if some are stubborn to admit it. Things are bad, and the decline in economy can be seen.
I welcome these people with open arms, he’s definitely one of the stronger ones by admitting he made a terrible mistake
Its easy to constantly spout ‘i told you so’ or other similar rhetoric but that will get discussion nowhere and only drive those away from changing their minds
I really want to know what his thought process was. He is an exporter, and his government tells him they are going to exit a trading bloc (his biggest market and right on his doorstep). He thinks this is a good idea?
More duties and taxes to export, and he thinks it will be more profitable?
I seriously don’t understand how and why people (especially those in business) though Brexit would be a good idea.
As someone who voted to stay in the EU I did so because of a belief in unity over division, for cultural / social and economic beliefs. But I don’t feel anger towards those that voted for Brexit, the machine that was the “Brexit Movement” was very effective, they targeted peoples concerns, they bare-face lied to people, they maintained a consistent and loud message and the remain campaign was complete dog shit in comparison.
The sad reality is though that the liars that sold the country on this ridiculous backward step that is heaping even more economic hardship onto an already difficult situation due to COVID are now the ones we have running the show. They got what they wanted, which was to further their political ambitions at the expense of the rest of us. Now we are paying more for everything, getting paid less for our work and it’s the middle and lower income population that are being hit hardest.
I would go so far to say that one of the outcomes of this will be the destruction of what some would call the middle class (personally I find that term uncomfortable but I am referring to those that don’t have huge wealth reserves but can comfortably afford to live at a decent standard), I fear we will end up in a country where there is a simple divide between the rich and the poor, the rich will get fatter and the poor will get hungrier.
As much as I know I should be saying well done for admitting you were wrong and for coming over to the side of reason, what I really want to say is HOW COME YOU WERE SUCH A FUCKING IDIOT IN THE 1ST PLACE AND WELL DONE FOR RUINING THE COUNTRY!!!! Because it was fucking OBVIOUS it was a terrible thing to believe in and at no point in the whole sorry, dragged out affair did a single creditable reason for it ever surface.
Shows the arrogance of Brexit voters. They really believed they were going to get all the benefits of the EU without being in it, it’s bonkers..
“It doesn’t make you an idiot”
Very generous, I’m sure, but it does.
Slightly less of one for realising it, but anyone that believed (or still does) a single word uttered by the likes of Mogg, Johnson, Raab, Gove…ahh shit, the entire tory party, is, frankly, an idiot.
If someone comes to me and says, “I’ve got a nearly new Rolls Royce you can have for 500 quid. Meet me in the middle of nowhere with cash only, at midnight, and it’s yours.”
Only an idiot would turn up with the cash.
“The botched Brexit deal that harms this country” should be wrapped around the Tories forever. Why are Labour and the opposition parties so shit at soundbites, slogans and going on the attack?
Brexit should smother the Tories in the same way the Tories blame the Iraq war (which they supported too) and the global/Western financial crisis totally on Labour.
Brexit’s going to be so fucking bad for the economy until we at least rejoin the single market that it should be fucking easy for all other politicians to pile on the Conservative party.
This is the problem… people not realising things can impact them until they do. The only thing it takes is critical thinking and “news intelligence”. Teach this to the kids at school, make it a propre subject.
I am astonished by the number of colleagues (average 28 y.o, educated, earning 55k£+, london) being fine not being critical and aware of what’s going on in politics / economics or even not being interested in culture in general and not being ashamed of it.
I had a word about it with some french colleague (as they are stereotyped to be overly critical about every little thing) and he said a french person will never accept to say publicly “I’m not interested in culture / politics” as it is the main marker of intellect. You will be categorised as dumb and ignorant even if you are a lawyer and earning 100k+. He called it “incurious shaming”
So how on earth would an business that relies on exports to the EU not think leaving the EU was a bad thing. I mean yes, he is an idiot.
Brexit has not really impacted my life at all, apart from the fact I get slightly more work due to less Eastern European competition.
Not really got anything to moan about.
He’s an exporter and he voted to leave a free trade agreement with our largest, richest and closest trading partner, damn straight hes an idiot.
The exporter really was an idiot, or at least lacking critical thinking skills. How can you not realise that leaving a trading block will mean that trading with them will be more complicated, that complications cost money and increased cost means loss of competitiveness?
I’d bet my left arm if there was another vote remain would probably win.
The early days of Brexit just after the referendum had people thinking the politicians would get a fantastic deal from Europe. As it dragged it’s way through Mrs May’s red lines, the EU became sick of it.
Then Johnson “got Brexit done” with the with the worst deal possible and a complete cock up for northern Ireland.
Now we are in the sunny uplands with all the shite of the wonderful Brexit deal with the worst PM ever trying to ruin the country forever with his lies.
And then we got COVID.
“it doesn’t make you an idiot”
Yes it does. Peanut size brain. IQ of a bacteria. Cunt get rekt you deserve it. “we have shot ourselves in the foot”, na mate cunts like you did. I am so sick of you wankers. “who do you blame – the salesman who sold it”. No, I blame you. I am so tilted now after listening to this.
It takes a big man to admit when he’s wrong, so fair play to this guy for holding up his hand and saying “I was duped by the lies of the Leave campaign”
This show is unbearable. I’ll never understand how James O’Brien has made a job of laughing at callers for so many years now. Doesn’t he get sick of intentionally getting in the worst examples of his political opponents and lazily acting better than them? The levels of smugness coming off this man is off the charts!
I voted remain, but theres no need to be a prick about it for so long.
I’m a pilot. I now have zero chance of employment with a European airline. The same European airlines that base themselves out of the UK. This summer once such European airline will provide leased aircraft (including crew) to UK airlines. Brits can’t apply for those jobs. Whilst Europeans can. I’ve written to politicians. They are all in complete denial that they can do anything about it. Hundreds of us unemployed due to Covid and now unemployable because we need visas to work for companies doing business out of the country we call home.
James O’ Briten is truly an ugly fuck. What is it with looking like a monkey and voting remain?
