I'm splitting the blame, there's a difference.
We had a weak government/PM and a half arsed negotiating team who just kept rolling over to have their tummy tickled.
I believe if we'd have people who truly wanted to leave in charge, instead of being mouthpieces, then the current situation would be different.
We've then had numerous attempts at derailing Brexit via various court cases.
The EU rightly spotted the disarray and took advantage of it, anyone can see that.
I've been told to take ownership, I have done, but to then have you telling me not to be so proud about it is a tad bizarre.
We’ve had a government committed to delivering Brexit since the referendum. The reality of what is deliverable could never match the promises made about it. That’s been, and continues to be the problem.
Normally countries choose a course of action based on science and evidence, that will result in a desired outcome. The outcome of a no deal Brexit will be higher prices for a lot of things, a lot of business uncertainty, and the job losses that come with it. It’ll be bad for ordinary people, but not so bad for people who are rich. For some of them, this is a desired outcome. And this is what happens when we elect a party to government that is funded by billionaire hedge fund managers who stand to benefit from your financial misery. The Tory Party are focused on the 1%. Look back over the last few decades and point to me what they’ve done that hasn’t benefitted the 1%. Now look at how callously they’ve treated ordinary people. Windrush. Austerity - tripling tuition fees, cuts for the disabled, cuts to in work benefits, cuts to workers rights, forcing terminal cancer patients to seek work, the bedroom tax - to name a few. It all falls on the shoulders of ordinary people. Stopping tuition fees was “crazily expensive” yet they’ve spent twice that on a privately run track and trace system that doesn’t work. Ireland spent less than a million quid on one that does.
So to Brexit again, unless you’re mega rich, what informs your positivity?
