    “Economically we have erected barriers between ourselves and a trading bloc of half a billion mostly wealthy people who again are on our doorstep.

    And yet people and politicians just don’t see it, it’s all covid and the war causing everything 🙄. Well, politicians probably see it, they just don’t say anything”.

    Did anyone say you would see any Brexit benefits as soon as we left Richard? I was on the understanding it will take several years at least to see evidence with all the unentwining we have to do, and it’s pretty naive to expect things will happen at the flick of a switch.
    We were told though by remoaners that the housing market would fall 10-15% as soon as we voted to leave. What happened to that?

    And as I see it, we left on 31st Jan 2020 and just seven weeks later on 23rd March we and most of the world were in lockdowns with disruption to work, supplies, everything.

    Come the start of 2022 where we truly started to get back to some sort of normality, Putin decides to invade which has thrown things up in the air again.

    Brexit has never been given a chance, and even if the big two events hadn’t happened it would have still been too early to see many results.

    We still have 4,000 of the laws to sort out yet. Things have been pushed back a couple of years on top of expectations already.

    I can see the appetite for Brexit to fail for a number just to prove a point, even if this country goes down.
    But they are really naive if they expected to see any results now, even before two major world impact events.

    I just see them as unaccepting, and undemocratic.

    Trouble is Richard where as people accept results of General Election’s, remoaners have never accepted the referendum result, wanting another one straight away, want this country to fail just to prove a point and have been a thorn in this country’s side ever since.

    Our democracy is set every four or five years generally, there’s nothing wrong with that only those that try to kill it as per another referendum, like Starmer.

    But now, currently, I’m in no doubt whoever is in power is not up to the job, and that goes for Labour, they are shite as well.

    If and when Labour get in then fine, that’s democracy. My feeling though is for an even bigger disaster than we have now and they’ll be out the following election.

    I can see it coming that they will have us as close to the EU as possible, which is against the wishes of the majority.
    Then watch the sparks fly when they destroy our democracy.

    The country has currently gone to the dogs now so who gives a **** really.

    Most I reckon feel politically homeless!

    “ I was being somewhat facetious, he’d be a disaster and would lead to a Labour government in a matter of weeks”.

    So Sunak in charge now is not a disaster, no bounce back on what was there before, no real action or urgency on any of the many big issues this country is facing. He wasn’t the choice of anyone, and unelected.

    On the contrary I think voters would warm to LA who would be quite different to previous PMs, the left and MSM would not know how to handle him, just like Trump, but the majority of people would like him.
    My only concern would be there are so many toady left liberal Tory’s as MPs, that would be their downfall.

    The Tory’s have nothing to lose because leaving thing’s as they are now is their disaster.
    They need to take a ‘punt’, they have no option.

    “ We do agree on Lee ’30p’ Anderson though, I would happily see him made Tory leader tomorrow”.

    That really surprises me Richard. I would have thought Lee would be the polar opposite for you as regards values etc.

    Can’t see this will be too riveting!

    The Toff has his own show.

    The cons have done nothing to suggest they are turning things around, indeed as each day goes on the public will only feel their concerns just haven’t been listened to, or addressed.

    Sunak has to go now and the only way the Tory’s will win is by bringing someone in like Lee Anderson in there.

    Would love to see him shake things up and he would get things done. Trouble is it’s been exposed there are so many left tory globalist MPs, they need to go as well.

    Yes they have Richard, MSM won’t have them on.

    I forgot another channel where politics is rife, youtube.
    But all I see is mainly people on the right on there who have effectively been cancelled, or have no place on the BBC, ITV, C4, C5 or Sky.

    They just would not ‘entertain’ them.

    I would say MSM includes the TV so we have BBC, ITV, C4, C5 and Sky for the left versus GB News and Talk TV.

    The TV is received by many more millions than the papers so would say MSM as a whole is very much to the left.

    I think this lad has got his sights set on bigger things, rather than one moment in time.

    “ Not saying Starmer will necessarily obtain a Blair 97-style landslide, but it’s going to take an unparalleled MSM hatchet job to get the Tories back in now, I feel”.

    It’s Labour’s to lose Ian, the best thing they can do for themselves that is is to say and do nothing.
    As they won’t be able to, once they start opening their traps they will be falling in all sorts of holes they dug themselves. But the pendulum has swung from the last election with no Corbyn and a much weaker cons party the main factors.

    Another of your comments, and it shouldn’t be like this “ but it’s going to take an unparalleled MSM hatchet job to get the Tories back in now, I feel”.
    The left say MSM is right orientated, and the right say vice-versa. Interesting, as both suggest MSM are influencers when they want to be, and this is a big bug bear of mine.

    They should just report, and that’s it no opinions, no pieces told like a story and adding their two penneth which may not be true.

    What a touch Ian and ap.

    On the dogs in 2009 I done a 50p straight patent forecast totalling £3.50.

    All 3 came in with forecast payouts something like £18, £20 and £22.

    With a Coral bonus of 10% it all came to approx £4,500. As I waited by the payout counter for what seemed like an eternity, they offered and I agreed to take it home in cash which they put in an envelope I couldn’t hide anywhere, and thought all eyes were on me for the next hour until I arrived home.

    Bought a TV which I still have today, paid off a loan and with the new TV got SKY, which I cancelled five years later with their price hikes.

    I detest the blameless hypocrite and hope he never comes back.

    Meghan’s probably already making plans to divorce him once the US gets fed up with the privileged whinging victim.

    Loves his family?
    He said the other night that the RF weren’t racists and it was the British press who labelled them that, when he said it was ‘unconscious bias’, and what the bloody hell is that.
    So he really protected them then and didn’t put the press right and has left it two years to say this bit while the RF have been on tenterhooks.

    That dismissal of the Queen’s lady in waiting was disgusting, but as a result of Charles and William having to be seen to do something and distance themselves.

    That really was an error on their part how they behaved, guilty before innocent, but were shitting themselves something seen as racial may have landed.
    I hope they have learned from their too swift an action too!

    Back to the ginger twat, he now is apparently below Andrew would you believe in ‘popularity’ ratings.

    Anyone defending him, liking him, you may want to review your values too!

    Although I suspect people that like him are into minority groups as well.

    Put this in here as connected to the thread.

    The UK economy grew ‘unexpectedly’ in November, surprising analysts.

    Not the top headline it seems for MSM for this better news.
