No worries. Boris is telling us USMCA is fantastic - the US Mexico and Canada deal. You know, that one between three neighbouring countries with land borders. Im sure an island 3,500 miles away will slot in nicely and get loads of benefits. Besides the acronym will be fun.     

It could be renamed USUKCAM, as a lasting tribute to the twat who set us on this road to hell.

Why not use your EU passport and fuck off to the EU then?

Wouldn't it be more logical if the people who brought the shit show about by voting for the unicorn paradise were the ones who fucked off and let the rest of us patch up the damage?

I quite like that idea, same as anti vaxxers all fucking off so we can get our lives back. I reckon they are one and the same so kill two birds with one stone.

Besides whats the betting that this race to populism helped by Brexit is the wet dream of middle aged white men, not naming names, who want to control and police this new found “sovrinty” and decide who the right and wrong people are to live in their sunny uplands.

Why would the people who want to live in the UK want to fuck off to the EU?

Surely it's more logical for those that spend their entire life moaning about the country to fuck off and live somewhere else?

Hang on a minute. It was you lot that continually moaned about the country, the European agenda, political correctness and health a safety madness before Brexit, we were content. Yes we had a nasty Tory government every now and then, but it was quiet nice to moan about them. All in all we were happy.

You lot are born moaning, now you've got what you want you've shoved all that moaning on to wokeness, culture wars and conspiracy theories.

Still, if you're that unhappy and there are so many people that want change, we should be seeing another referendum in what, maybe 12 months time?

Boris Johnson is many things, but "willing to admit to mistakes" is not one of them. No chance of a referendum with a Tory government.

Prime ministers can be removed if they become unpopular.  They can even be replaced by ones that want to rejoin the EU, especially given the overwhelming number of people who apparently want the same.

Seems a bit defeatist to not even bother getting a rejoin campaign off the ground because Boris is PM.

I'm not sure Boris will lead the Tories into the next election. The damage is done.

I didn't say I was unhappy now, that's the trouble with you lot, too busy gloating rather than trying to understand others.

I took umbrage at the idea that remainers were the moaners in all this, when clearly the brexiteers have been droaning on pub bores for years.

Unless you're another one of boriersaint's multiple accounts, I've never said you've moaned about it.

I'm glad you appear to be happy with how Brexit is turning out.

Oh yes I forgot. I read Duckhunters posts. Now I understand his vote. Doesn’t like forners does he? Wants an Anglo saxon world. Brexit will fail  him somewhat I think.

In other words, not a chance in hell if you fuck about in Ireland you twat. Johnson with begging bowl in hand. Easiest deal in history. What a statesman.

Not only a brexiteer, he is a 'Young Earth creationist" who thinks the Earth is no more than 4000 years old. How the fuck do these idiots get elected ?

Sadly we cannot rejoin as we would go back a wounded animal and have to go back with worse terms that we left with. Add to that they would certainly make us jettison the pound. We would be told to sit in the corner and be quiet. Our standing in the world would be in taters. 

It is with great sadness that we have made the biggest mistake in our countries history.

I do not like the European project but I dont like us being alone and we in the next 18months will see our standard of living drop, add to that high inflation.

Obviously the convenient Covid situation will be blamed

Thats was the people with foresight knew. Our kids will be paying for this for decades

We will return as the diminished nation we have become. Damn shame though.

 I fear we haven’t hit rock bottom yet but we will and then the only way is up.

we will have to be pragmatic when the UK union breaks and the Celtic nations join the EU. We will have to be pragmatic and ease England back into the fold. It will be difficult but with compassion and persuasion it can be done.

It might actually be a good thing in the long run. England may realign and become a more progressive, inclusive nation at ease with its new status as a regional European power as opposed to a tier 1 world power, as a backlash to the isolationist nation we are now.

Its a pipe dream that might take 20,40 years but I think it’s achievable.

Can you point me to the upsides Duckhunter? Personal request to you. We’ll see if you answer.

If we get rid of the sweaties & there’s a United Ireland, that’s an upside.

The vast majority of Brexiteers had 1 primary reason for voting that way - to leave the EU. The peripheral details were secondary to that, so they view the outcome as having delivered what they voted for. There may well be some who subsequently have come to regret their vote, but reversing the referendum is not an option, so we all have to suck it up and get on with what we are presented with. There may well be some personal satisfaction at pointing out the negative outcomes, but schadenfreude pales when you are one of those affected by it.

Where have all the lorry drivers gone?

Every fucker using them as an excuse. Council can’t get agency drivers so miss the bin collections. Have Poland and Hungary got loads back? Are there any stats on how many we lost?

Many estimates put the shortage of HGV drivers in the UK at around 90k, with about 20k EU drivers no longer working in the UK. It seems to depend on which side of the referendum you agreed with: Leavers may well point to a 'global' shortage, as per the Daily Express, (https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/1485488/brexit-news-hgv-driver-shortage-covid-uk-eu-latest-facts4eu-report);  Remainers will point to stories such as this - https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/politics/brexit-to-blame-as-lorry-driver-shortages-hit-100000-says-yorkshire-logistics-boss-3359867.

I understood it would be a clusterfuck long before the brexiters ever did so based on the resulting mess I reckon I understood it a lot more than the brexiters did.

Your halfwitted response proves you were living in cloud cuckoo land, so whose the halfwit? 
 

Again Duckhunter can you point to any brexit benefits? After all we are 10 months in.

Agree, but we are all paying for it. There is not satisfaction to be had.

The majority of the countries standard of living is dropping each day and there seems to be no accountability.

The populists and brexiters and Tory liars seem to deflect and blame everything on culture wars hoping we don’t hold them directly responsible.

They well may be victorious and we will be subject to another decade of Tory austerity and tax cuts for  the rich which is the real aim of the backers of Project leave.
