@evans_jeff5509@MarkStockman4@TeresaC123 I agree the country is in a shit state and our politicians have been largely useless. But blaming every problem on weak governments while crediting Brexit for every success isn’t an argument. We got Brexit. It’s reasonable to judge it by the outcomes, not the promises
@evans_jeff5509@MarkStockman4@TeresaC123 Being a net recipient under Dublin III doesn’t prove Brexit had no effect. Brexit was sold as the answer to illegal immigration. Years later, small-boat crossings are at record levels. Whatever Brexit achieved, it didn’t solve the problem it was marketed to fix.
@MarkStockman4@evans_jeff5509@TeresaC123 Brexit failed to stop illegal immigration because it tackled free movement, not the causes of irregular migration. In the process, the UK left EU returns and asylum systems that helped manage it. The result? More control on paper, but record small-boat crossings in reality.
