Well, of course? What did brexiters expect?

Doing business from the uk to the rest of europe is harder and more expensive now, of course it is better to do it in ireland (geographically close and speaks english natively) or somewhere else (idk, Germany or something).

"Chocolate teapot no good for hot tea".

No surprise whatsoever. What on earth did Brexiteers think was going to happen?

Still, at least we now have £350m a week for the NHS (oh wait, we don't) and a whole bunch of trade deals with others (oh wait, we don't) and a thriving economy (sigh).

Obviously Covid will be used as the fall guy from now until eternity, but it's so blindingly obvious that we've been stiffed by a bunch of nutters with some totally false sense of "Being Free Again". Free from trade, partnerships and an easy way of doing business, yes.

Sorry. Bit bitter about the whole thing.

Friendly reminder that Europe is not European Union.

£30 per hour for picking broccoli and they still can't fill the roles...basically says it all IMO. I love the UK too.

I'd wager some wanted this to happen, it makes buying up public infrastructure and companies very cheap. The sale of ARM just after the referrendum is just one example.

I’m all for bashing brexit but let’s stick to facts here (otherwise you’re no better than they are), I’m pretty sure the UK has done trade deals.
