@whitevancisman@mick_wynn67@Greenironcoxy@DaveWimblePhoto@danielmgmoylan Ok, let's go with benefit. Tell me how we have benefited...(that actually stands up to scrutiny)
(If you actually provide one, you will be the first leave voter that I've engaged with who has ever provided one. Part of the reason why Brexit is so exasperating)
@mick_wynn67@Greenironcoxy@whitevancisman@DaveWimblePhoto@danielmgmoylan ..for deprived regions that are significantly less than what we received in the EU. Awful labour shortages across the UK. & a big economic hit when Truss decided to go Full Brexit.
Give me a tangible benefit from leaving the EU and then we can start talking about evidence.
@mick_wynn67@Greenironcoxy@whitevancisman@DaveWimblePhoto@danielmgmoylan Evidence? Dire growth rates. Disrupted supply chains that force smaller businesses to entirely pull out of Europe. A Japan trade deal that Japan's own trade minister said was essentially a rollover of what was before. Aussie deal that damages farming. Structural support payment..
@whitevancisman@DaveWimblePhoto@Greenironcoxy@mick_wynn67@danielmgmoylan And to be clear, there was an incredible amount of power in the media behind the leave position. Totally disproportionate given the incredible volume of lies being perpetuated by that campaign.
There is no Brexit dividend. Just division and an inexorable slide into obscurity.
@whitevancisman@DaveWimblePhoto@Greenironcoxy@mick_wynn67@danielmgmoylan You're confusing 'controlling the media' with sharing the overwhelming intellectual majority opinion. Which has since proved almost entirely accurate
I'd actually argue that the media gave far too much balance and credence to the sunny upland lies spread by Vote Leave and others
@danielmgmoylan You're singularly the greatest reason to reform (or indeed, abolish) the House of Lords.
A life tenure whilst demonstrating such incompetence makes a mockery of the democracy we are supposed to have.
@Oucheeeeee @bigathey@stuferthecat@GNev2 Just to be clear, you're happy with the economy right now? Or, more importantly, with the state of our society?
Even during the last global crisis (2008), the Labour government STILL managed to reduce child poverty. Look at the state of us now...
@Dazbillcoop@rundle_mick@attree_c @DisgruntledCare @DeborahMeaden Presumably you're advocating to leave the WTO? UN Refugee Convention? Geneva Convention for war? Good Friday Agreement?
We have traded all sorts of sovereignty to secure global order/stability. Undermining it is a fools errand. To do so would make us weak & utterly irrelevant.
@Dazbillcoop@thecraftybeggar@attree_c @DisgruntledCare @DeborahMeaden Over 70% of those seeking asylum in the UK are granted refugee status. Are you really going to deprive us ALL of our fundamental human rights in order to appease the scaremongering around 'illegals'.
The Tories absolutely LOVE people like you.
@AdamC__________@scottygb@HackedOffHugh Probably some of the sane people who recognise Brexit to have been the horribly avoidable disaster that many of us expected it to be.
@EdwardArthur5 @Airbag70062136 @JMPSimor Finland just called...📞
(Oh, and I think that's Denmark, Sweden, Norway and a myriad of other European countries on the line).
@znoitator @drahcirrich@Sheba706Smith@GaryLineker But it is MAINLY the Tories fault. Those absolute fuckers are amplifying the misery that is overwhelming us all right now
@MCDBEES @lanky321 @GaryFTM@RWiSblog@Sheba706Smith@GaryLineker By what possible metric has it done its fair share. Come on, give me some numbers here.
The UK is an absolute travesty - enabled by people like you, who think we're actually making a positive contribution
