Thank you for the more considered explanation of my thoughts. Whingeing, especially on footy forum to a bunch of strangers, is utterly futile.

Agree with this.
I voted to Remain and was disappointed when the vote went to Leave.
Irrespective of the personalities involved and the untruths they may have told, we are where we are and we have to get on with it.
To be fair there are so many uncertainties caused by Covid to chuck into the mix, including the increased cost of shipping containers in from Asia, which has little to do with Brexit.
It is currently quite difficult to actually itemise the negative effects on our lives that are Brexit related.
That said I have yet to see one positive effect of Brexit that has impacted positively on my life.

I agree with most of your sentiments but yours seems to be of a reluctant acceptance. 

It will only be when the delayed border checks are implemented that the majority of the public see it impact their daily lives.

I believe there will be a lot more scrutiny on the” oven ready “ deal then. The Tory govt will then blame the eu for being obstructive when it’s the one they negotiated.

We are being treated exactly the way any other 3rd country is being treated, which is what we voted for apparently.

Of course it will. If people vote accordingly you end up with a government , whether Tory or otherwise who put in place pragmatic arrangements with the EU and quite possibly join efta .This governments credibility is shot on all kinds of fronts.

I'm not saying "bar any mention if it". I'm saying that whingeing achieves nothing of benefit, ditto rummaging through the ashes. 

As for discussion, in reality there has been none, just lots of "it's shit, I told you it would be". That also achieves fuck all.

Buctootim seems to think that whingeing will lead to a possible chance of some wider future integration with the EU. You just seem to like whingeing. 

Buctootim seems convinced that his whingeing will lead to something to vote on come election time. I've merely said that there needs to be a manifesto before there's something to vote on.

Maybe the delivery is wanting. I am merely illuminating the mess of Brexit. The media is not doing this.

 I think that if enough Brexiters eyes are opened to the disaster and admit to it then there might be a way forward.

I think when scales fall from the eyes and people can say they were duped there may be an agreement that a new narrative is needed. 
Rather than accepting that this is it we can work towards a newer more collaborative union with Europe rather than this harsh hard Brexit that we have.

We need Brexiters to compromise on their ideology in that its just not practical in an interdependent world and that we should be rethinking intergration into the single market.

You're deluded if you think that there's any possibility of any imminent change in our relationship with the EU after the events of teh last few years. It ain't happening.

Well it's actually happening now as reported this week, the surface rhetoric is the same, but behind the scenes the beurocrats on both sides are bending, fudging and loosely interpreting in order to make things work. This will slowly erode the ideologs positions and be something to build on.

Just to recap, Brexiters won the vote to leave the EU.  The UK has left the UK and for some reason you think it is Brexiters that need to compromise on their ideology because 'you' don't like how it has turned out.

I'm not sure you truly understand what compromise means. This is how it works, there is a vast difference between the types of brexit from hard to soft. The ideologs want the hard on brexit, whereas there will others who want a softer brexit. Given that no voted for a type of brexit, it can't be assumed what type the public actually want.

Therefore acompromise would be a softer brexit, the brexit nutters get brexit, the anti foreigners get to keep foreigners out, people get a black passport and a crown on their pint glass and the nation gets to keep some of it's European freedoms and we all live happily ever after.

There was a compromise, Mays turd. The Remain nutters rejected it, they rejected everything apart from fucking staying in. So the Government had  to  go to the country on a “get Brexit done” ticket. They won a landslide, and Brexit got done.

Your side didn’t want a compromise anymore than my side, if they did they’d have voted for Mays turd. Unfortunately, your side were a bunch of fuckwits that ensured a “hard” Brexit.

The changes the UK are asking for on the Irish protocol are fundamental and go all the way back to Theresa May's original strategy,  Boris/Davis resignation and the oven ready deal he ultimately signed as Prime Minister. It's the unsolvable issue we are still trying to wriggle out of.

Completely agree, it will be a slow process but the country will eventually wake up to the complete fuckup Brexit is. The EU will be quite happy to play the waiting game. All the cards are in their hands.

The NI protocol will sink the current agreement as the only way it’s solved is the single market. That’s the compromise. The ERG nutters get to keep the immigrants out and keep their blue passports but trade will be tariff free again.

The “we are where we are brigade” are correct but it doesn’t mean things won’t evolve. They will have to because what we have now isn’t working. M and S closing in France is the latest blow to British business. It will carry on and on costing businesses and people’s livelihoods until we rejoin the single market.

Freedom of movemonet ( if you remeber the democratic country you live in voted to stop this as it is not best for the country, just low wages which helps the small 3% of the rich ) , dont bother me or care dont go on holiday to europe, and it hampers me by drivng down my wages and the rest of the UK labor force, the people who get food on your table the ones forgotten about during the pandemic.... Tarif free trade? Its not tarif free as we have to pay into the eu kitty and accept eu rules and regulations and abide by eu courts, stop telling lies. No roaming charges, i dont pay any as i dont go nor does my provider charge me (atm) and when it does if i want it i can just pay 2 pound for an add on, its not so expensive that i cant pay for it out of my 40k pay rise a year. 

Whats the point in training kids and giving them a great education if jobs are reserved for exp'ed ppl and cheaper work force from europe? Dont know if you noticed, but youth unemployment is down since we left the Eu while it continues to climb all over the eu. My pet dont need a passport for the eu, i dont go or ever have intentions of going and you still need one to go to every other country not in the eu so your point is mute, again i asked how it will affect me and so far your failing and how it will make the country better, you have not shown me yet, just sprouting nonesense of so called perks i have never enjoyed nor will the population who also didnt go, prbs because low wages means they cant afford to save for one.... 

You mean taking 6 month longer than the rest of the world to buy life saving vaccines for its population....  Yep clearly much better block buying power full of red tape and delays and waiting for meetings always months down the line, then they buy them and tell its own population not to take them for political point scoring over the UK... cant even read and discuse contracts with vaccine producers correctly. Just in time deliverys... That that dont help the country, just poor managers who cant order the correct stock, which means a potential customer lose, no lose for the UK though as surely if one store has no tomatoes you would go to a different store... Cant picture people getting a taxi to eu for tomatoes cause just in time deliverys stopped hahaha. 

None of the rubbish you have said makes the UK better. 

Since brexit, wages have gone up, youth unemployment down.. More housing... More jobs.... Less unemployed.... Free to make trade deals with the rest of the world who are growing at a far faster pace than the eu. And its only been 9 months. 

If you think the EU is so great, move to it..
