You're still in "I told you so" mode. Worthless.
And you’re still in denial mode, so ?

Another of your ridiculous and untrue remarks. Read my posts - I'm denying nothing. I challenge you to show where I'm in denial.

Re: Britain outside the EU

Well it's been a year or more since the 'event', and I still can't think of any area where it's had a negative impact on my lifestyle.

Maybe I don't have a lifestyle worth moaning about?

Lots of hardship due to Covid, but really struggling to think of one caused by Brexit alone.

The incessant remoaning by the usual suspects who still haven't accepted the result, but some days it's an upside that cheers me up as i laugh at their pain

Of all the Remainers, MrM appears to be the most vehement and you must thus be cracking up, Papa.

It’s as valid a comment as your ‘I told you so’ statement earlier.

Nope, as I’ve said in many posts prior I do hope we make a success of Brexit, but we shouldn’t be trying to weasel out of our responsibilities just because we had poor negotiators

Aw bless, you’ll need to be cheered up as well after being caught fabricating stories of visiting hospitals. Won’t you, Billy ?

That’s fair comment, however, imho I don’t believe in advocating for the I’m alright jack mentality.

Slowly but surely we’re seeing more and more cracks & fissures appearing as we progress in this new chapter outside of the EU. I hope I’m wrong but I have a feeling it’s going to get worse for many more people before it gets better

Re: Britain outside the EU

Yes I see that, however if I was of the 'I’m alright jack' persuasion, I could well have been employing scaffolders & steel fixers at £4 per hour plus free accommodation in a shit caravan on site . . . or something similar

Correct. It is due to EU interpretation pedantry.

The sandwich fiasco that seph refers to, nothing to do with covid

Correct. It is due to EU interpretation pedantry.

Reintroduction of roaming fees, nothing to do with covid

Correct, but we could legislate to prevent this from happening if all operators decided to go down that route.

Collapse in exports of shellfish, nothing to do with covid

Correct. It is due to EU intransigence and sheer obstinacy.
