Re: Brexit referendum result aftermath
I've been trying to find the poll data with no success. Until I know what they asked and who they asked its pretty difficult to judge. Does the poll write the story or the story write the poll.DaveWHU1964 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 05, 2022 10:20 pm On the face of it it doesn't look like a 'push poll'. I can't see any leading wording in that poll Sam, can you?
Clearly though, The Independent would have commissioned that poll knowing it was highly likely to give results that would fit their angle. It's not been hard to see which way the Brexit wind has been blowing these last few months as the poll findings show.
If a majority of people thought that Brexit Britain was going well then the likes of the Mail, Telegraph and Express would have been commissioning their own polls by the bucketload. They're not. Just like The Independent they can see how people are currently viewing the benefits or otherwise of our decision to leave.

Re: Brexit referendum result aftermath
It also depends on if the poll is restricted to the UK and voters in the referendum. How many times can some one vote.
Not really a bell weather as remain has been organised after the event.

Re: Brexit referendum result aftermath
As I've said many times, being on our own is absolutely fine as long as we have a government capable of delivering to the people what they promised.
These lot couldn't deliver a KFC, and I haven't got much faith in the other lot either.
We cancelled our contracts and sent the world's worst salespeople out to find some new ones. I've got no beef with those who voted out, because they wanted something more. But there is no fuckling way on earth that we should have walked away from any of the deals we had given the absolute ****ing bell-end, selfish, in-it-for-themselves, root-of-all-evil, pull-the-ladder-up-jack, untrustworthy, fat chodes that we currently have in charge of making new deals.
If we need to build new relationships, then we're ****ed. Because this governmnt is not capable of delivering. We chose to go into the wilderness on our own, but sadly our leader has forgotten the batteries to his torch, doesn't know how to hunt or make fire, and he isn't prepared to share his massive 50 man tent with any other poor ****er because he's a selfish **** who is only interested in planting a flag in the ground and getting his name in the history books and he doesn't care how may of his team has to perish in order for him to do that.
Individually, most of us will probably be fine. But collectively, those who need the most help, those who need jobs, those who need medical care are all ultimatly ****ed. Not because of Brexit, but because every single day we lean more on more towards individual success and less about looking after those who really need it.
Anyway, I can't even remember what my actual point was. Jeez, I've become so boring even I switch off half-way through.

Re: Brexit referendum result aftermath
Cool. Well I'm glad things are going to get better for those that really needed it, because I as starting to worry about them.SammyLeeWasOffside wrote: ↑Fri Jan 21, 2022 9:33 am We've just had 2 years of the biggest welfare initiative in history.
My personal view is that the furlough scheme was needed of course, but cuts to lots of services that helped over the last 15 years have generally hindered those at the bottom. I think it's harder than it's ever been to get on the property ladder, I think it's getting tougher to find a solid job and I think it's more challenging for high-risk kids to get themselves out of their situation than it was for high-risk kids 20-30 years ago.
That's not just about Brexit. And it's not just about the Tories. But I don't see things improving at the moment, and I don't think that our government were focusing on the right areas before Covid.

Re: Brexit referendum result aftermath
So.... What do you suggest. More protests! More demands reverse Brexit. Or accept the vote and move on.

We need to let everyone face the consequences of Brexit, probably for a decade, before considering rejoining. Thanks for ****ting the bed.666 hammer wrote: ↑Sat Jan 22, 2022 7:13 am So.... What do you suggest. More protests! More demands reverse Brexit. Or accept the vote and move on.

Re: Brexit referendum result aftermath
Why learn a skilled trade, nursing ect, when you are forever undercut by a infinite cheaper labour force. Unless you train and move to a non EU country. Which is what has been happening for decades.

Re: Brexit referendum result aftermath
No. It has been neutral for me, I think.
If you seriously think that the inflationary impact plus the tax impact due to relatively smaller economy are going to be a boon for those on low wages then I have a Brexit project to sell you.

Re: Brexit referendum result aftermath
No, and that isn’t what I said.
If you increase costs, via customs charges, making stuff here with people on higher wages etc. then that has an inflationary impact. You also become less competitive internationally.
So part of the inflation we face now is due to Brexit.
