Brexit is – and always was – a plot by Russia to disrupt the EU.
Ever since philby, Russia has had a hand deep in the UK’s gut.
Sovereignty increases.
What exactly are the rest smoking? I still don’t know of 1 single tangible benefit for us plebs
The other half say it’s made their lives worse, but it’s worth it to punish the first half for trying hard and thinking they can better their lot.
Almost half. Would that be 48%?
> the proportion of those who say that Brexit has made their daily lives better has also risen, although they remain a smaller group, 17% say that is true up from one in ten in June 2021.
That’ll be the result of the constant government lying about the vaccine program being connected in some way to brexit.
…and the other half are still too thick to understand the lies they’ve guzzled up from The Mail/Express/Sun/Facebook?
Just wait for that Trade War with EU that your government is insisting upon.
Brexit was only going to benefit the Tory elites and minority elites on the left that also voted in line with brexiters for brexit.
It’s a facade and it was never going to offer some kind of new honey & milk paradise for us Brits
I bet it’s the same half who voted remain. The leavers would never admit they fucked it right up.
And the other half can’t/won’t accept it or are oblivious to it.
Personally, i havent noticed any real tangible difference. No doubt there are changes that have happened that I dont notice in everyday life.
But
I absolutely do acknowledge that others will be highly affected by Brexit. I empathise with them and try to help where I (donations to food banks, charities etc).
I also acknowledge the complete waste of time and money trying to reclaim ‘british stuff’, like signs, passports etc.

“Almost half”
Of the 1023 people you asked..
Thats a hefty 0.001% of the country..
If you asked the entire country I would imagine that most people would agree that brexit was the biggest waste of money and one of the biggest mistakes this country has ever made.
If it’s Wales, it’s probably down to Drakeford
Brexit was the biggest lie ever sold to the British public
Well if this ain’t obvious I don’t know, how can the country as a whole be so dense it’s unreal. I really fear for our future hear imho, it just doesn’t look good at all
I don’t regret voting for freedom, and never will
Almost half, like 48%?
Sovrin Tea.
Yeah of course, half of them didn’t know what they were voting for. They just assumed this would mean an immigrant free country.
Personally ive never noticed any difference
Don’t get me wrong, I’m absolutely not a Leaver.
However, It’s hardly an insightful headline number at the minute is it? ‘Almost half’ was the exact number of people who knew it was a terrible idea in the first place. I suspect that the number has to be much greater before any change can happen in the mid-far future.
I think its fair to say that the leavers were mis-sold by a lying government and its fucked as all. Cheers.
Almost half of Brits didn’t realise furlough wasn’t free money
Brexit is just another symptom. Tories are the illness.
And the other half would say their lives are worse but don’t realise it’s because of Brexit.
I’ll be honest and say it’s not impacted my life on a day to day basis. The effects have been nowhere near as bad as I thought they might be – I go to the supermarket and everything I want to buy is on the shelves. I don’t travel abroad but I know some people who’ve recently come back from a week in Spain and they had no issues travelling at all (although one of them was in a wheelchair so they may have been prioritised going through the airport).
As far as I can tell everything’s carrying on as it did before, but with a lot more paperwork going on behind the scenes.
I voted remain, but after the vote, I felt it only fair to give them the benefit of the doubt and “see how it goes.” Believing in democracy, even the corrupt version that we have, I wanted to see if it would succeed.
I’m now pretty damn confident remain would have been better for us.
Granted, we’ve had a pandemic and now we see rumblings of WW3, but Brexit is just throwing fuel on an already roaring fire.
I always said, Brexit under a Tory government would be absolutely horrendous and I was right. But it seems we’re suckers for punishment.
Hopefully after WW3, humanity will have a “Star Trek” moment, where we come together as a species.
just out of curiosity, where could i contact to ask if the government will subsidise me for the degree at a foreign university that i now can’t afford to complete?
Almost half, the same as the amount of people who voted against it
And what, the other half’s lives were already shite to begin with?
So who’s life has gotten better? Other than the political class that is.
How have they come to the conclusion it was brexit, not nearly two years of lock down and inflation and cost of living increase (which has also effected every other western country)….
I’ve been relatively fortunate, I haven’t felt any significant impact from Brexit besides what everyone else has experienced in terms of rising prices. All I can say with absolute certainty is that Brexit has in no way improved my life in any way, shape or form. I also haven’t travelled to mainland Europe since before 2020 so I’ve yet to see how my flying experience will change, but again I can safely bet that it won’t be for the better.
It’s been 6 years and I still don’t understand why we decided to leave the EU at all. I’ve heard plenty of reasons for it, but none that actually made any sense to me.
“almost half” sounds an awful lot like 48%.
Nice to know that, despite their constant whining, remainers haven’t convinced a single person yet.
Really so why did you vote for it ?
Oh yeah I remember, apparently jonny foreigner was responsible for all of your problems and misfortunes, not your company CEO who overoworks and underpays you, not your government who cut all the investments in public welfare, surely the jonny foreigner is, coz they speak with a funny accent you dont like, and wear different clothes than you.
Got it.
I honestly don’t know how its made my life either better or worse. Apart from it being a bit harder to get into EU countries now
I don’t think i’ve noticed any change in my daily life honestly, other than issues that are global and not due to brexit.
Almost half? Doesn’t that reflect the referendum results? C’mon Wales online
99% of people have no clue what’s going on, and the real reasons why their lives get better or worse. Useless question to ask
In other words: “more than half of Brits say Brexit has not made their daily life worse.”
And most of the whiny bastards can be found on this sub
Personally I haven’t seen anything positive or negative since Brexit. Work is the same, home life is the same. Social life is the same as well. Only thing that has changed is the house bills which can you really blame that on Brexit?
I wonder what they mean by worse? In what way has it made it worse, I’d be interest to know.
And how can anybody justify UK tax payers having to fork out £5 million every single day just for keeping illegal migrants in hotels? It’s an utter disgraceful use of money which could and should be used for the benefit of UK citizens.
Then there’s the housing crisis and the UK having to find homes for 350,000 immigrants every year just to stand still. Think about that for a second. Every year we are having to find land space and homes for another city of Nottingham.
We are going to end up living in a hell hole of a concrete jungle.
I don’t live in the UK, but that sounds like an attempt to put a spin on the fact that the majority of people polled don’t find their daily life to be worse as the result of Brexit.
The entire world economy has turned to putrid dogshit, I guess it must be brexit.
Who would have thunk it!!! The leavers who actively and purposely LIED about everything good that was going to be done after uk left Europe and all the billions that will go to the NHS and literally everything else they purposely lied about and all of the remainers knew was bullshit. You mean to tell me that they are only now realizing they were lied to? Who could have seen that happening.
Shocking not like remainers didn’t fxkin say continually that this would be the outcome
