Whether you are pro or anti Brexit, arguing obsessively about it to the exclusion of almost everything else for 8 years seems like a waste of time to me.

The vote was leave so we need to make the best of it.
Make the best of it.. I think that is an admission that it is a st.

The unrealistic part is expecting everyone to pin their flag to a bad decision that was taken many years ago and expect them to do nothing about it and stop complaining.

I know brexiteers would like any mention of brexit to just go away, but it wont happen.

I voted leave and would do so again. Getting seriously fed up with ‘Remoaners’.

If you don’t like it Foxtrot Oscar and live in Europe.

Why didn’t you leave the UK to a non EU country when it was part of the EU?

I don’t see the point of that question but the answer is because I like living here in England.

Ridiculous to compare specialist spirits to wine. Completely different volumes of production and demand patterns.

I would go but, ironically, you have made it much harder for me to leave. Maybe I'll drown my sorrows in a couple of pints of wine...

Oh come on.. it's so easy these days, all we need to do it simply divorce your current UK Wife/Husband and marry a European one or find a distant Irish relative (you may be really lucky and have married somoen wtth Irish heritage which saves the hassle of divorce).

So easy.

Then you get all of the benefits of being in the EU. Easy ! Another brexit win. Stop Remoaning smile

The point of the question is simple. You think people that don’t like Brexit should shut up or move out of the country.

Yet you didn’t move out when it was in the EU ehich you didn’t like.

As your answer proves, you can dislike some things about the country (especially politically) but still like living in the country.

I assume you mean your getting seriously upset that remoaners keep pointing out the failings of brexit and that there is now a large majority who agree. I know when you make a bad decision it's annoying when people remind you.

Personally I have foxtroted but nothing to do with brexit.

I agree that our politicians have not made the best of Brexit but that doesn’t mean that we were wrong to leave.

My point is that the decision wasn’t accepted by the Remoaners from day 1 and now 8 years on it’s still such a hot topic. I’m a right wing politics guy but when/if the Labour Party are imo inevitably elected I’ll accept the majority decision and move on.

Khan just won again in London which was very disappointing for me but I’ve accepted the decision and won’t spend the next few years moaning about it.

That’s slightly different because you know there will be another election in a set period of time.

So if and when Labour get elected you’re never going to have a moan about them, pull the other one.

Do you live in London?

You and the others here were trying to reverse Brexit the day after the result. Now it is different because there is not a set time. Hilarious.

What’s hilarious is you think anyone posting in here would have any influence in reversing Brexit. It’s a niche sub forum on a car website.

Go on explain how I and others were trying to ‘reverse ‘ Brexit.

I find it annoying when brexiters complain that others have somehow stop the UK achieving the brexit sunny uplands. Then when you ask what theses benefits are it all goes very silent.

Ive asked a few times what should the government have done to make Brexit a success, never got an answer.

Repealing more European laws would be a good start.

A little off topic but imo Frederick Forsyth is spot on with this letter:-

Not long from now, when we all have the magic gift of hindsight, pundit after pundit will try to explain our country’s degeneration in these past three years. Allow me to pre-empt.

It all stems from Covid, but not the virus. The pandemic was the cause of the panic that persuaded a weak Government with a sick premier to hand over the management of our country to an incompetent Civil Service. Since then, failure after failure, botch after botch and fiasco after fiasco can be traced directly to a bloated, self-rewarding bureaucracy, which costs the taxpayer billions and affects every moment of our lives.

We are no longer a real democracy. The only cure is a radical reduction in red tape and its cost. But that would need political leadership of steely will, not possessed by any major party. We have not seen such steel in high office since Margaret Thatcher, and nothing similar is on any horizon.

Frederick Forsyth

Which ones? And why would repealing them make it a success?
