The programme was actually quite balanced on brexit good or brexit bad, pity Matov didn"t understand it/see it. To be fair, I did not watch it so willing to accept a little bit of your critique. Will give it a go over the next couple of days and report back.

I only caught the last few minutes of it, but they were trying to sum-up whether Brexit has been good or bad for business in its first six months. The thing is that there's been a pandemic, so how can they determine one way or the other ? Pointless exercise imo.

Except it did work. I championed us leaving the EU. And I won. That simple really. Now not got much by way of formal qualifications but it's not difficult to can grasp basic maths like 52 being higher than 48 when expressed as a percentage. Working out the constituency breakdown part was little bit more involved, and I used the research of others to reach my conclusions, but ultimately said how insane a second referendum policy was. And once again, borne out in terms of how the 2019 General Election panned out although I confess to not quite grasping just how much of a wave of support was out there for getting Brexit done. I had the Tory majority around the 40-50 mark. But I was on the right side of history, once again. What's your excuse? Your arguments are really very boring, repetitive and completely pointless. Their only merit is that they are consistent. The real arguments are much more nuanced and involve the context and sequence of events. Not just taking simple maths and claiming victory. It's what lies behind the maths which matters. No-one who voted against Brexit argued about the simple maths. It's the consequences of the events that resulted in those maths and the subsequent shenanigans that were foisted on the electorate to avoid them being doubled checked which caused the arguments. That's water under the bridge. Now we are dealing with the reality of taking a decision that many, and latterly I suspect most, people believe was foolish in the extreme. Exposing the consequences of that reality is necessary to ensure that there is a political ground swelling of opinion that supports us rejoining in some meaningful way at the earliest opportunity. The battle you are so keen on fighting is over. All you are doing is waving a flag on an empty battleground. The war has moved elsewhere, and it's one you are losing big time.
For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally. |

How can you double check the unknown which is what brexit was. I think you are disingenuous to assume people don't want to see this go for a much longer period. I have stated before that I doubt there are many leavers who wouldn't consider rejoining if conditions and terms allied to our status as a country.

The western economy is changing due to technology and automation and will happen regardless of Brexit. The pandemic has given companies the excuse to speed this process up. I notice this week one of the big finance houses has told 500 personal assistants they are no longer required. Anyway still to early to say whether Brexit is a success the best I can suggest and it is just an opinion is that so far it has not been the disaster that some predicted.

It was a strange selection of companies they chose, but the BBC were highlighting difficulties now the UK are out of Europe. (not much point choosing companies who had a seamless transition). Some companies are continually given additional hurdles to jump through, and it's costing them dearly. "Europe were never going to make it easy for the UK to leave. They want to make an example of the UK in trying to fck us over, so other countries don't leave."
