Yes, but mainly by others.....lies were told about as much as they are told in every political election....both before and after. Hannan though, while I differ with him, tends to be a far more honest politician than most. I was never sold on the economic arguments that were made precisely partly because of the subversion of remainers/EU and partly because of the pain that would be involved. However...the main point was immigration....and I never expected the immigration aspect of Brexit to be so horribly betrayed. Democracy is a lie.

When one vision is suppressed, personally I don't regard it as a fair analysis to state that the vision is a failure when you have supported its suppression. If democracy was real it would have been allowed its chance to play out. However, instead what has happened has been quite disgraceful. Regardless, this means that if you ever get the kind of result that you desire in politics that you can have no complaint if it is also suppressed. So for example, if a leftist complains about the dirty tactics used against Corbyn it's hypocritical to complain if they also supported this. All purely based upon the basis that what's good for the goose... However, I just don't agree with this kind of politics as valid. I'm fully aware that it happens but it should always be the subject of criticism. Edited by Stirlingsays (24 Jan 2024 3.03pm)

But you said the poster’s interpretation wasn’t correct or needed to help the cause or explain the thing that’s Brexit. Interpretation is in the eye or an individual.

Four years on and the sky hasn't fallen yet. Remember when Osbourne predicted instant catastrophe if we voted leave? Now those predicting disaster are talking about a 'slow puncture' of decline. Fancy that. The fact is that figures on the term since Brexit show that we have done quite well compared to other European nations, despite a war and a pandemic. If only the Tories had actually got the balls to sort out immigration. Edited by Hrolf The Ganger (31 Jan 2024 3.11pm)

Edited by Hrolf The Ganger (31 Jan 2024 3.11pm) Yes, remember that we were told that the stock market would crash - it quickly reached record highs. House prices would collapse - they reached record highs. There would be mass unemployment - it reduced to record lows.
