Do you agree that Brexit has been “a pointless waste of time, money and effort”?

    It wasn’t pointless at all. It accomplished exactly what the conservatiives wanted to do.

    It broke the U.K. That’s what they wanted. That’s what they got. Exactly as planned.

    Conservatives aren’t trying to fix things and make them better. They’re trying to destroy everything in order to gain full control. it’s easier to do, when everything is broken as opposed as to when it’s FUBAR. Then they drain the money into their personal accounts from whatever grift they can pull off.

    Why does everyone think their plan failed? It didn’t. This is what they wanted. The UK globally lost 10 years fighting over this Brexit garbage, and it still has work to do to fix it. I remember when the pound was 2:1 over the dollar. Not anymore, and not until the conservatives blow up the U.S. market in the same way.

      Don’t forget the Russians’ too. They put big money and effort into dividing and weaking the eu. And it worked and it is still working.

        Yup let’s not forget that the Tory government buried the Russian Interference Report and when it was finally released it revealed that the inquiry was specifically asked not to investigate russian involvement with Brexit and the UK GE.

      I think you’re giving more credit to the conservatives than most of them are actually worthy of. I’m sure there was some political machinations somewhere by someone but a lot of the conservatives genuinely thought that this would be an improvement.

      You’re not telling me that the likes of Bad Enoch are in on some kind of grand conspiracy.

        No but they’re the useful idiots the folks with money and no desire for the spotlight chose to use.
