We're divorced from the EU, and like any divorce, we have to move on. At first there's recriminations and the thoughts of what might have been. But then you make a new life for yourself, and change the way you live. Then you realise that there are better partners out there, and you find one, and then you find yourself being happy and wonder why you didn't meet this new partner years ago. Only when you move on from a divorce, then you can be truly happy with your new life. Let go, move on, enjoy The Gills today
Good sentiments LSB2 but for many they can't yet move on. I'm lucky Brexit has had little effect on me albeit I am very much against it.
If you were to own a business and see all that hard work undone as your access to your main market is now much more costly/difficult to access then you aren't ready to move on and you are looking for someone to blame.
The biggest issue for me were the blatant lies from Johnson and gang. I'm sure everyone remembers the buffoon telling people in NI that if they are asked to do a customs form they can tell people to phone him. I guess he's not answering.
Fisherman being another example especially after he made such a thing of protecting fishing. Lots of Scottish and other fisherman now discovering that its much harder to get their product to market. Finding "another market" for them isn't easy when their product is a fresh not frozen commodity.
Brexit was always going to be hard but the one thing we need was clear communication from government and words that we could trust.
In my opinion Johnson is the least trustworthy PM we have ever had. I honestly believe he will say literally anything to get what he wants (to be PM) and then backtrack on delivery. The beauty of social media is that someone somewhere will have caught what he said/tweeted and they quickly go viral.
As I said impact on me will be very limited, minor impact at work, kids became dual nationals so retain the benefits of EU citizenship and I hope that my desire to travel to the EU "freely" won't be too restricted.
I think I am just disappointed that the UK seem unlikely to hold Johnson to account. The opposition really need to wake up and be seen to be electable next time around. I honestly believe Johnson could come out with another witty three worder and be elected again.
I really need to get out of the UK - oh hang on - back to brexit !!!
