Brexit, what have you learnt

[Macski]

It is 3½ since the Brexit referendum and we are constantly told that we now know more then we did back then, so what do you know?

I voted leave but really not sure which politician I could trust to run post Brexit UK, I also know our politicians are not fit for purpose.

For the last thirty years our MPs have run down manufacturing and now they are so concerned about what effect Brexit will have on manufacturing!

I’ve learnt most politicians are self serving scum

That vested interests have control of our country I guess it was always thus ,
the only good thing is they would use the same power to stop a hard left labour party getting traction (hopefully!!!)

Translated as,
Poor old useful idiot remainers have another thread they feel the need to spout anti democratic poison on ...

To be honest I've not learnt anything. A lot of what I've seen come to pass wasn't surprising, just disappointing. Big changes are still required to everything yet no politician (apart from Boris) seems capable of taking on the challenge.

What has become more and more apparent to (I hope all sides) is how ingrained the EU is to all our institutions and if we don't leave now, we never will.

Just how devious and childish fully grown adults can be when things don't go their way.

Surely you can understand why people were so annoyed that they didn't get freedom on the 31st of March, no wonder they've been that way since then.

Cuts both ways. Some of the behaviour of both sides in the whole thing has been woeful. Regardless of personal position on Brexit, one thing I have definately learnt is that is now apparently not allowed to hold an opposing view to someone and remain civil with that person. I find that truly sad.

That you can blatantly lie with little to no consequences. See Vote Leave.

[essayer]

That nobody really agrees on what Brexit is

[dazwalsh]

i have learnt that we should go and do our own research rather than relying on our politicians and the media for guidance. I suppose that was known before but the brexit vote confirmed it.

If it hasn't been complete lies its been woefully wrong and unfounded, from both sides.

And just for balance, do you remember the “deep and long lasting recession” that was due to hit the morning after the vote?

Nah, neither do i, because we have had 3 years of growth since.

How about those half a million to 800,000 jobs that would disappear after the vote?

This isnt me defending the other side, its confirming that they are both as bad as each other, and that makes any forecast of doom and gloom, and indeed the land of milk and honey, completely untrusted going forward.

That people will be people.

[Pesty]

That our politicians are in collusion with foreign powers to stop democratic elections in their own country.

We've not even had Brexit yet and plenty of jobs have been lost. 420,000 according to this website. https://smallbusinessprices.co.uk/brexit-index/

That we shouldn't have referendums on complex issues in a country where we still have to write on bottles of bleach DO NOT DRINK.
Or if we have to have such a referendum, we need to take the warnings off the bleach, for 2 years, and then have it.

Based on my local Facebook pages, Brexit has taught me who the low educated, casually racist people are in my town.
