Bregrets

If I were to ask any Brits or UK citizns, because there is a difference, the question:

If Brexit were reveresed tomorrow, what would you miss?

Few, if any, could point to any benefit we would lose.

Just as few are proclaiming the benefits Brexit has brought, instead are crowing about how it wasn't as bad as Project Fear predicted. That is because, projections were made on A50 being triggered the day after the vote, like Corbyn wanted.

Instead it was done more slowly, but still too quickly as to have an actual plan, rather hope that somethig would turn up.

Brexit was sold on many things, but first and foremost an act which would have only positive outcomes. So, on its own predictions, Brexit has failed.

It has not unleashed the trading tiger that was the UK, it has been further smothered in red tape. Red, white and blue tape. With the promise, of is that a threat or more regulation to come?

Andrew Griffith (Treasury Minister) speaking in The COmmons could not place on record one benefit from Brexit.

Former Brexiteers are seeing the folly of their ways, or at least the way it has been implemented.

Which makes it odd that the Labour leader yesterday spoke out against immigration, even though the UK economy and many leading figures in various secotrs are screaming for it.

If Starmer cannot make the case for low-skilled immigration, who will?

Who will fill the shelves, drive the trucks, pick the apples, look after our elederly and sick?

In society, we can't all become white collar. Someone has to do the actual work, we can pay them more for doing so rather than top up their rockbottom wages with benefits, but that is a political decision.

As it always is.

As predicted, the plan for a Swiss-style relationship did not last 12 hours after it was published in Sunday's papers, the PM rejected it, but so did the EU who don't like the Swiss style agreement they have with the Swiss.

Someone has to make the case for stronger economic ties with the EU. Business leaders have, now its time for someone in politics to say so too.
