I think you'll find that those last three dregs of a Brexit 'defence' [MENTION=35289]Baker lite[/MENTION], [MENTION=534]Chicken Run[/MENTION] and [MENTION=11191]Pretty pink fairy[/MENTION] decided that a 'tactical retreat' was in order a few days ago, together with [MENTION=35196]Is it PotG?[/MENTION] and his friend [MENTION=33253]JC Footy Genius[/MENTION]
If it has finally occurred to them, it just shows how desperate it has become.
If you look at the 246 people who voted 'Leave' at the top of every page of this thread, many of whom are still active all over NSC, it is incredible that 9 months in, not one of them feels able to defend the complete and utter clusterf*** that anyone with a modicum of understanding always said it was going to be.
And we still haven't implemented a Northern Ireland border solution, we have no import controls whatsoever and we have no idea what we will do about our financial services industry haemorrhaging business to financial centres all over the world.
And this will be on top of the current problems across the industries of export, logistics, care, Fruit and veg picking, food preparation, hospitality, fishing, HGV etc etc etc
But they obviously knew what they were voting for
The list is still growing TBH, almost every industry seems to have relied on either cheap, easy EU imports or cheap EU workers at some level in their business model. At the time of the referendum some of us saw the potential pitfalls of leaving but none imagined the complexity and the depth of the problems.
It's been like those Russian wooden dolls, so many layers of problems are being revealed, we will survive and adapt but we have to accept that all these shortages of labour, goods and the increase in red tape ( the reason for allegedly leaving !) will end up with most of us paying more and having less choice across society. We have now reached the stage where we have " indefinitely " delayed introducing the NI Protocol that apparently was an " Oven Ready " Brexit Deal as it is impossible to implement without NI exploding in to violence and recrimination. Can't wait for the next few onion skins when we have to try to implement border checks on EU imports .
