Nine years ago the godfather of Brexit, Lord Daniel Hannan, predicted life in Brexit Britain in June 2025. Roll the tape… (VO by @gavinesler. Parts 2 & 3 below👇)
'I was Chair of the Conservative Party when there was one.'
'They've lost the most important attribute: the benefit of the doubt.'
Former Conservative Party Chair Lord Patten tells @AndrewMarr9 the failings of the current government are mostly due to 'the disaster of Brexit'.
2018: @IronMaiden 's Bruce Dickinson, "I voted for Brexit.. I'm relaxed about it.. There's a lot of nonsense and scare stories being made up.. Brexit will enable us to be more flexible.. Brexit opens our borders"
2024: Bruce Dickinson, "We're sitting here. We can't do anything. All this guff about not being able to play in Europe, and the Europeans not being able to play over here, and the work permits, and all the rest of the rubbish, come on!"
If you've ever read about design, you've probably encountered the idea of #PavingTheDesirePath. A #DesirePath is an erosion path created by people departing from the official walkway and taking their own route.

@keithschapman Yeah here's the thing.
I've already proven that your line about "We just don't want completely uncontrolled migration" was always a lie.
And given that our immigration situation is objectively worse post Brexit, hence staff shortages, clearly EU membership controlled it better!
