For sure not.

Brexit is a disaster which will make everyone worse off.


You're a Labour supporter though.

As usual with the BBC is not that they lie but it's what they don't say or ask.

The woman claims she had to leave the UK post Brexit vote because her neighbours were not nice. No evidence of course and in fairness she doesn't even claim to have been racially abused. Is that a reason to leave?

Questions that were begging to be asked and were not:

1. You say you left because of Brexit but from your comments it appears you are separated from your partner who still lives in the UK, does this have anything to do with you leaving.

2. You are a singer promoting a pro Brexit song you wrote is this and the coverage you are getting on the BBC connected?

Very poor journalism can you imagine the BBC giving a sympathetic ear if it were the other way round.

Essentially from the angle that suddenly Britain is more racist because of Brexit. What a load of rubbish. She has gone back to Poland where, if we tell the truth, black or Asian people are not generally accepted. But the BBC only wants its own version of the truth.
Here in Ireland last week the missus was watching the Late, Late Show - an Irish institution (I can't stand it but that is beside the point). Neil Jordan was a guest. He was talking about his particularly historically inaccurate film Michael Collins (rubbish film with Liam Neeson). When asked about this he should have apologised for inflicting it on audiences - no doubt all the American 'Irish' lapped it up.
Anyway, he went on to say that Brexit demonstrated that The War of Independence was entirely necessary as Britain would never have actually given Home Rule (which had already been granted but held back until WWI was over - 'over by Christmas' and all that. I was outraged but this is the typical stupid narrative in Ireland and I suspect much of Europe.
Britain is portrayed as small-minded at least and racist at worst for voting for Brexit. There has been no blame attached to the EU administration at all.

So according to this research, Brexit has cost us all around £550 extra, a total of £15bn, prices for items like coffee, bananas, alcohol for example all costing more. And that's a Conservative estimate.

I had to laugh as that article was complete shyte even by your standards. I read as far as "The research was funded by The Peoples' Vote" realised that the whole article was a farce and didn't bother any more

If coffee and bananas are more expensive, that's passed me by.

Two facts on brexit making me poorer.

My income has gone up by 50% in the last two years due to lack of competition for jobs in my industry.

House prices are slowing down. So I can now afford to make a bigger jump up the housing ladder.

I think that will cushion the blow of having more expensive bananas.

But what about the ability to just get on a train to Brussels though?

Wouldn't you want to earn less, buy nannas for peanuts and not be able to see a doctor for 3 weeks to avoid having to wait an extra 20 mins at passport control?

Logic says why can't you have all of those things? you've been bought, to take one side and swallowed the notion the EU is the root of all our ills, the idea we will enter this new Utopia post Brexit is delusional, but lets see, i'm sure we all want a better life

The French Populists are on course to win the European election.
Their leader, Jordan Bardella said, “We are going to fight to go to the European Commission to reclaim our four levers of sovereignty that are to us essential. Our borders, economic and legislative sovereignty and budgetary control”.
Sounds vaguely familiar.

I thought the EU restricted the importation of bananas to a few favoured nations. Once we have left we will be free to buy from other sources.
