Yes my post was a little on the rude side for which I apologise to Rich.
However Phil I do not accept that I said Brexiteers are "dim".
I don't think this. I think their ongoing inability to articulate a clear tangible benefit is however illuminating. And I suspect the more intelligent of them have probably, albeit quietly, changed their minds. |

Very ironic indeed Steve. The real damage to the British economy, employers and businesses across the land will be done from within the UK itself by its own governing party.
I liked the confidence that DSC and Wyot felt that they would not get an answer only to be bulldozed with a stunningly good blitz straight back.
Regards Brexit and the benefits, well it would have been easier to see without that wretched pandemic getting in the way at the exact same time we left formally. But the last government should have made far more of the abilities they had once we left. The most obvious was the ability to fully remove VAT from fuel bills for instance. That would be a big deal to nearly everyone. Couldn't lower it less than 5% while in the EU, could abolish it entirely once we left. To not do so was a major mistake. The way in which the last government failed to realise many of the available benefits they could have done is a bit like some of these people you hear about from time to time who live long frugal lives penny pinching yet when they pass and get their last will and testament read everyone finds out they had a million or more liquid assets in the bank and nobody knew.
Ah ok Rich there were many potential benefits that those in Government, unlike yourself, were too dim to see.
While the only tangible alleged benefit you mention is possibly reducing VAT on fuel bills. Is that bloody well it?
Well the Government could reduce tax on all sorts of things if it wished to reduce tax revenue and put more money back in our pockets - inside or outside the EU.
This is just a Brexiteer headline not a substantive point.
Bulldozed my arse.
Come on: in one clear sentence - not prolix word salads or solipsistic journalling - one real tangible benefit that was a direct result of leaving the EU? |

The killer line for me from Steve came right at the end with the last sentence, Steve saying - "I am very much a working person and expect to get clobbered next Wednesday. It will be the arch remainers in this government from the PM down that will be doing this to me and making me and our business pay the price and nothing to do with leavers and Brexit. How ironic is that when you think about it."
Very ironic indeed Steve. The real damage to the British economy, employers and businesses across the land will be done from within the UK itself by its own governing party.

Still not one tangible benefit of Brexit given just a personal view that it hasn't harmed Steve, which is good to know...
