Subject: RE: BS: Brexit & other UK political topics
Agreed, Dave, but there are things that are a direct cause of brexit. Difficulty exporting products. Companies moving from to mainland Europe to avoid the red tape. Products missing from our shops because EU companies do not want the hastle of exporting to us. Queues of Lorries on the M20. The peace in Northern Ireland being threatened. UK Artists having to cancel European tours. Need I go on?

Yes, Covid and the war in Ukraine have had their effects but that is global. It affects everyone and, as John put above, the financial crisis between 2007 and 2009 was global but the Tories still blame it on the Labour party.

I think a better question to ask brexiteers is "What tangible benefits are there to us ordinary folk as a result of brexit?"
