I don’t see Bregrets. At least not in the sense that people would do anything about it.
I voted for brexit based on lies and regret voting to leave! If only I knew then what I know now I wouldn’t have helped trash the country
I and at least 48% of the voters regretted it as soon as the result was announced. It’s benefits free, and everything it was sold to fix it has made worse. We voted to impose economic sanctions on ouselves, all because a bunch of liars, charlatans and mountebanks conned enough gullible people and some racists.
This country was going downhill since the snatcher’s times but brexit, COVID and inept gov caused this mess
How did anyone not realise that they were lying and fall for it, they made it out it was going to be clean cut break from the EU way to vague and made it out a complicated issue was simple if anyone did any critical thinking you would of seen though it no sympathy for British people you get what you deserve!
Plenty of us knew it’d be a clusterfuck. I’m so fed up of it being painted like it was some kind of unanimous decision as a country.. and the people who are just now having the realisation that it was a terrible error, seriously, what the shuddering fuck did you expect?!
I mean… when you make decisions based on a very small margin after a vote and it goes badly that’s usually the case…
What did you think was going to happen when our country is a majority importing country of workers, goods and services and then suddenly wanting to stop (well, in this case slow down) the flow?
What’s surprising to me is that the leavers did not have a single thought out plan on what to do besides chasing trade deals (often times kissing the ass of other countries (like the Australia deal which benefits them A LOT more and basically pointed a 🖕 to our local farmers)), throwing up three-word slogans every time and asking the public to simply believe.
Don’t even get me started on the degradation of food standards (or just standards in general), the effective burning of bridges with the EU, the “party of fiscal responsibility” doing everything but being fiscally responsible and basically eroding the massive reputation the UK had in the world as the country of law and order.
Honestly… as a person that would be considered a millennial (late 90s), it’s very… *annoying* the trend of the next generation of politicians having to fix the problems brought on by the previous generation. And with the Tory party winding up to want to remove thousands of EU legislation I have a feeling it’s going to take a few years to even decades to negotiate a possible EU membership application in the future.
Always look at who is behind something as opposed to why they are saying. All of the worst right wing Tories and UKIP were shouting from rooftops about how great Brexit would be. A very easy decision to vote remain. The fact so many people could not see that explains the low level of critical thinkers in this country.
Amazing how people did not see this coming, the media, social platforms and the government all peddled the lies.
Meanwhile it seems that not a single prominent politician is willing to admit the truth to the British people and tell them that Brexit is unworkable by design. Due to our geography and services based economy, we cannot prosper as a nation without rejoining the single market and customs union.
The Tories are the luckiest motherfuckers ever. They managed to hide behind both COVID and Ukraine to pretend that Brexit wasn’t bad.
But now both those smoke screens have faded away, they have nothing.
Frankly I’m surprised that they didn’t blame Truss for it too
Just rip the damn no deal paper up and get back to normal. Politicians never remember anything when questioned, so will not remember signing this piece of garbage.
I hate the infantilisation directed at readers with these stupid portmanteaus. Use real words. ‘brexit’ ‘bregrets’ ‘party-gate’ stfu and write like the professionals you’re supposed to be
Nice photo of Chester. And the regret started many years ago… around 2016 for many
The absolute idiocy of the government and the people who voted for Brexit is just extraordinary! A toddler could understand how this would be a very bad idea.
As yet undiscovered tribes in the Amazon jungle new this was going to happen. Brexit was an IQ test that the UK FAILED!
Legitimately one of the dumbest decisions made in this country, voted by dumb people who get upset when they’re called out for being dumb.
Sad that none of the parties have the backbone to call it out because White Van driver with 1 GCSE who thought his vote would get rid of brown people won’t vote for them again.
Those who voted Brexit (you know who you are) are fully responsible. If they suddenly say but we didn’t expect this and wish it never happened, well shit. How daft are you to believe any politiciam that you didn’t use your own intelligience? You are fully responsible for destroying the economy so don’t think repenting somehow removes you of the burden of guilt.
No they don’t, all the problems we are currently experiencing are due to an impending and long overdue fiat currency collapse. The world economy collapsed in 2008 and has been on life support ever since.
Nothing to do with Brexit.
Brexit is a total shit show, IMHO it is good in the long term: massive social change might actually happen now, to push the UK towards a fairer better democracy – leaving behind a lot of archaic shite with us Eventually asking to re-join the EU. (And we will probably be used as an example of what not to do to other EU Countries.)
Either way strap yourself in for a rough ride, fingers crossed there might be light at the end of the tunnel in a Decade or Two.
I think we can rejoin the EU, under the condition that we give up the pound sterling and 50% of whatever power the UK has over its citizens, over to Brussels.
Can’t be any worse and its not like voting for a particular prime minister means that they will serve their whole term.
“Bregret” absolutely brilliant effort to turn it around.
I heard a stat that over 2m people that voted for Brexit 6 years ago have now died. 5m more young people are now able to vote who wouldn’t have been able to when the referendum was held.
Thus proving once and for all that this terrible decision is down to people who have no stake in how this effects future generations, just fools protecting themselves selfishly.
Only the sane among us, the tories and Labour still have their heads firmly buried in the sand out of fear of the hard right
Britons complaining but will still vote the same government in the upcoming elections
> the country is in the midst of its gravest slump in a generation, leading many to wonder how much the split with the European Union is to blame.
Most of us know.
A big thanks to the person who reported “they were worried for my welfare” to reddit because we are in the opposite side of the brexit debate here today. Fuck your sunlit uplands, your unicorn outomes and your dogma. You are dragging the country down. If I could report you for fucking future generations over I would.
