So many ordinary ppl just don't understand that their National Insurance "stamp" ONLY EVER funded those pensioners who existed at the time that they paid it. Companies can easily survive on debt because if they can't repay, they just go bankrupt and let their investors take the loss. Countries don't have the luxury of defaulting on their loan repayments, without a serious hit to their exchange rate and - down the line - to their people's standard of living.

"There'd be plenty of jobs/school places/homes but the Poles keep taking them" This allowed the gov to dodge any blame for underinvestment.

World renowned scientist Steven Hawking said that in global era UK shouldn't separate from EU. Writer J.K Rowling said that not to do Brexit. And Brexit won narrowly (won about 52% vote). I'm from Portugal and my son was in UK boarding school. After Brexit, many EU students didn't come back to boarding school (due to both covid and Brexit). Last year, my son's boarding school was shut down due to not enough students. Teachers, housekeepers, canteen staffs and cooks lost their jobs. So, Brexit means UK makes suicide. What else?

They’re just ordinary people. There is a class of person in the world who feels compelled to infantilise themselves. The very statement “We was lied to” implies that they believe themselves incapable of thinking for themselves, that they are being told things that they will believe, just like children believe their parents. The insight that this is so is not new, I for one certainly have known this since I was a teenager. But the lesson from this is NOT to get annoyed at ordinary people. The lesson is not to allow them to make existential decisions about the future of the country. Much like parents would not allow their children to make decisions on whether to remortgage the family home.

I live in the allegedly so glorious EU, and the cost of living crisis has been a constant reality ever since we introduced the Euro... so much for "Brexit is at fault". Oh and btw, we took the same hit Britain took in recent years (if not worse). At least Brits can now vote in another government if they want things to change (although it looks like people are really enjoying this, given they're going to vote for Labour, which will put current government policy on steroids). But once people realize this, they will be glad they voted leave. We in Europe on the other hand will continue to have 70% of our laws made by unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats in Brussels.

The lady talking about mental health issues really got me. I am an EU citizen, successfully studied and trained in the UK to work as a psychologist. But I cannot get back into the UK under current visa regulations and pay schemes. Due to psychologists being on the shortage worker lists they can be paid only 80% of the minimum wages to qualify for a visa. A bonus for companies, not necessarily for the employee. With current costs of living in larger cities (where sponsorship is often more likely) that would work if I were still in my mid 20's, went into room shares, had a short commute and only lived to work. But it just does not work if there is family involved. My husband, a mechanical engineer, would have to anticipate a pay cut of around 50% if he went to the UK as a skilled worker. I am now employed part-time as a psychologist in Germany and get more than double of what a full-time clinical psychologist job in the UK would pay. Even with the more excessive taxes in Germany on salaries, it is still worth it. I am also self-employed, something that would be impossible in the UK without settlement status. Still, if the UK manages to someday be an attractive place to live and work again, we may move back.

There was ample warning that Brexit was a nonsensical choice that would only hurt the UK. That there was no good reason for doing it. Leaving the EU results in having even less control, as predicted. The Brexit where the UK kept all the advantages of the EU while leaving all the obligations was never going to happen.

"I hate Germany and France I never liked them," This is what you get if you only read tabloids. Do they realize how the UK was perceived by other EU countries? The United Kingdom had certain opt-outs and special arrangements within the EU. Notably, the UK was not part of the Eurozone, retaining its own currency (the pound). Additionally, it had an opt-out from the Schengen Agreement, maintaining border controls. The UK also negotiated a rebate on its financial contributions to the EU budget. These privileges reflected specific agreements and concessions made during the UK's EU membership. If the UK ever wanted to rejoin the EU they'll never get these privileges back. No system is perfect, the world has changed and the impact you have as an European country globally has diminished significantly. Cooperation within Europe has become vital. The more European countries work together the stronger they are globally. The UK is not an exception to that.

@MrChrisWhitten Correct. Therefore.... the original post saying every prediction the remain side made has come true meant..... "But, but, except for the 3 main ones they lead with. That's what k meant by every"

@@danielwebb8402 I said predictions made by the remain side, not predictions the leave side claim remain made. Every single prediction remain actually made have come to pass... every single one. Dire immediate results were predicted if we left the day after the referendum but we didn't... and we still haven't as border checks are still not being performed, that's starting this month. You were lied to I'm afraid... I know it hurts but it's true. You were sold a pup and you gladly bought it, now you have to accept you made a mistake and get over it. Mark Twain once noted that it's easier to fool a man than to convince him he's been fooled. That's because in order to fool a man you have to defeat his intellect but to convince him he's been fooled requires defeating his pride and most people's pride is stronger than their intellect. It's time you put your pride away and let your intellect start doing some work.

@@dub604 My favorite ridiculous prediction that leave claim remain made was "If we leave it would mean WW3" lol.... Wait a moment.

No surprise to me. I very clearly remember what at least one commentator back then said. Specifically, that the Brexit mindset was like going into a divorce fully expecting that you'd be the one to get the house, the car and the bank balance, while your ex got the mortgage and the credit card debt.

@@solentrambler He didn't say "Brexit voter mindset". The "Brexit mindset" is the stuff the "Leave" proponents we're putting out there at full blast. And yes, they were talking about a myriad of benefits that largely failed to materialise while being in complete denial of the downsides.

@@michaelt.5672 Fair comment about Brexit mindset. I note that older voters had some 23 years to make up their minds. The result didn’t just result from a brief campaign. The Remain campaign was equally awful. I note that all is not peace, light and loveliness in the EU.

@@michaelt.5672Why did they fail to materialise? Isn’t it because many in government wanted and some still do, to Remain in the Eu. ? One could easily be forgiven for thinking that some Remainer MP’s could personally lose tens and even hundreds of thousands of pounds in investments, contracts, property and businesses deals etc., not to mention friends too, by leaving the Eu.

@@solentrambler The EU has plenty of issues, no doubt. Can't say much about the remain campaign. The point was that in terms of the outcome, the remainers predictions were far closer to the truth than the brexiteers.

The government published a pamphlet saying what was going to happen. No lies, you just had to read it.

I visited UK (in my case London and Dover) only 2 times in my life, but i really loved the people i met. Many were helpful, respectful and even tho being a stranger with a serious lack of words and a horrible pronounciation including a german accent, i felt welcomed. When Brexit talk started and i often heared, that EU and especially France and Germany were hated by so many people, i was shocked. Of course its not a new info that germany isnt a well liked country by many, but it hit hard anyways. I hope that one day i might travel there again and be able to feel the same way about UK and its people, as i did before. After all the short periods of times there were awesome and helped me to at least get a little better, when it comes to expressing myself in english.
