    I gave up travelling to the USA a few years ago, fed up waiting 2/3 hours to get through immigration and passport control, 4 desks open to deal with a fully loaded 747 was normal, and that had nowt to do with Brexit.

    Of course he did.
    Apparently 56% of Brits want to Re-join.
    Thoughts please?
    Imo Since day one it was doomed to fail as the Cash Cow ( us ) was removed from the black hole that was all consuming- by that I mean Uk France Germany in reality we’re funding and holding the whole show together pumping billions and billions into numerous countries who keep taking the money but offer nothing in return.

    We are better off out regardless or we would be if anyone actually gave a **** enough to stand up for us and stop pi—ing money ( still ) into the black hole that is Europe.

    For a nation of what was stiff upper lip - get on with it we really have gone backwards,

    You started this thread mon ami, not me. Swiss sums it up well in post 7. The country was run by Remainers, Remainers negotiated the Brexit deal, Remain politicians made it impossible for us to leave without that deal, the country is still being run by Remainers, both politicians and civil servants, what we have is Brino, Brexit In Name Only.

    So any discussion about whether Brexit has worked or not is superfluous, we haven't actually tried it yet.

    Agree 100%. Scandalous the way that the democratic vote has been ignored. Not just ignored but thwarted by many unelected officials - just like the unelected bureaucrats in the EU. All birds of a feather, interested only in getting their noses in an even bigger trough.

    After all - “all men are equal, except some are more equal than others”.

    Yesterday was the 7th Anniversary of the Referendum Vote and we are nowhere near having achieved anything because there never was a will to achieve what the public voted for.

    We spent 6 years fighting WWII, lost lots of lives in gaining the victory, however, we were determined that this would happen and had the leadership to back up our resolve.

    Can anyone spot the difference? Something that we have not had for around 40 years! Sadly, it is not going to get any better as far as I can see.

    In the early 1970's I became politically involve in trying to stop Britain's entry into the then common market, where both major parties were only too willing to throw our commonwealth suppliers under the bus to be able to top up wine lakes and butter mountains. Unfortunately Mr Heath had is way and we became dependent on the European markets, that was my only and last political involvement.

    In the 2016 Brexit vote people were promised a better health service, less immigration with more overseas trade which would lead a better standard of living, such was the promises made by a certain Mr. Johnson.

    Out of a total electorate of 46,500,001 some 17,410,742 people voted to leave the European union which was 37.44% of the total electorate,
    16,141,241 people voted to remain in the European union, this being 34.71% percentage of the electorate.
    There were 25,359 rejected ballot papers so 27.29% or 12,922,659 people could not or did not vote. So is it such a surprise that our country is still so divided by this especially now that Mr Johnson has been shown for what I have always believed him to be a complete Bull**** merchant.

    Agreed Vintage but I’m not sure we can lay the whole of Brexit at Boris s door , though he’s as complicit as the rest of the look after yourselves so called politicians( I used it loosely so called because I’m not sure any of them on either side of the main parties is any better or worse than the other ).

    I’m in a predicament this time on voting as I refuse to do it - but I know In reality I have no voice if I don’t vote and can’t comment.

    Only one with an ounce of sense to me at the minute is Laurence Fox - Reclaim

    I despair of this f*cking government sinkov, May, Johnson, Truss and Sunak, surely they cannot be the best we have got. The Chancellor is utter tripe too.

    Told you before mon ami, it's a Puppet Show, the strings are being pulled behind the curtain. Truss tried to strike out on her own, they took her down quicksticks.
