MartinII You're free to disagree, just as I am with you. Maybe you're one of the few, like Rees-Mogg, Farage, etc. who has personally benefitted from Brexit but it's been a disaster for the vast majority of us
Many people were deceived into voting for Brexit to "keep the furringers out". They didn't understand that other EU countries could do the same so UK nationals who have retired to Spain and France can also be sent back home to the UK. The Government is now desperately trying to recruit people from overseas to solve the labour shortage, after telling them we didn't want them here. Before Brexit, young Eastern European students used to come here to work on the fields during summer. We all, they and we, benefitted from that arrangement. Over the last couple of years, tonnes of food has had to be left to rot in the fields becuse there was no one to harvest it.
Many UK companies have lost contracts because trading with EU countries is no longer viable. Many EU companies are no longer willing to trade with UK companies for the same reason. It's true we're free to try to negotiate trade deals with other countries but we don't have a strong negotiating position like the EU does.
It's the young I really feel sorry for. The older people who voted for this disaster have only themselves to blame. The ones who are really going to suffer from it are the younger generation, many of whom were too young to vote. We haven't seen the worst of Brexit yet.
