Brexit is destroying Britain

[Henarar]

Just the pretence that Brexit somehow made our politicians accountable, when they know they can get away with literal murder mass manslaughter in public office.

FWIW, I don't really care about BREXIT, it hasn't really changed my life in any meaningful way, but it hasn't half given idiots on both sides of the fence something to lose their sh!t over non stop for the last 8 years.

you are correct in as much as this thread is best viewed while on the bog

Nothing to lose your sh1t over is it?
We voted to leave the eu , we have left.
Politicians in Westminster are more accountable, they are responsible for more things that previously decided on an eu wide basis.
Politicians are still incompetent and lie all the time.
It's not a panacea for all the country's ills.
If you don't care about brexit, then maybe just stop reading about it.

Don't worry though. AP found one hgv driver who got a temporary pay rise some years ago

Whatever they do or don't do, they are responsible for it at the ballot box, that's the change/benefit.

Nonsense, safe Tory seats are entirely unaccountable.
Governments change with only 40 to 50 seats.
Almost all of the heinous scum will keep theirs.

Well the biggest one is we are no longer part of the European integration project, one advantage of this as mentioned before is that if we were still in the EU we would be part of the pooled debt program from bonds issued after Covid. That would put the UK on the hook for huge liabilities. These currently would be more than the annual NHS budget

Whatever the merits might be of those bond issues we would have had no option to opt out and little influence on there issue. This debt is one of the reasons member contributions will rise in the near future.

The integration of EU countries has advanced considerably since Brexit, probably because we are not there. That’s another reason any application we were foolish enough to make would be vetoed

There are others.

Complete fantasy.

Safe tory seats only? What about labour ones?
Giving yourself away a bit there.
Of course they are accountable, people still have to vote.

There is a Tory government.
They're at at least nominally in charge.
People do not have to vote.
As the turnout figures show.

Better than letting people drown.

Yes the French should really make more of an effort to stop the boats leaving their shores.
Would expect better from the EU to be honest.

Yes, take your point.
However, as you also point out, people don't have to vote, yet they do!
The people have national sovereign power again since brexit, what they do with it, is up to them.

Easy done.
Open an office to process asylum seekers claims in France.
France has offered free office space.

How's that sovereign power working out on the UK internal border with NI?

And what would happen to those that were rejected?

They've also been given lots of cash to do the job themselves.

It’s amazing how although we are told how horrible the U.K. is, foreign nationals will risk their lives to come here rather than stay in the EU.

The majority don't care enough about that for anything to be done.
That's how it works.
You really don't understand this do you.
I don't want the people to have national sovereignty so that things i want to happen will occur.
No parties espouse policies that i agree with.
