The right-wing talk radio hosts in the UK are still utterly convinced that brexit has been a success. I struggle so hard to understand that perspective. I don't see how anything good has happened as a result. We now have: - a shortage of workers from the EU - harder to buy things from europe - harder to sell things to europe - more red tape when trying to drive in europe - higher insurance costs when going to europe - no rights to live or work in europe - thousands of EU citizens yet to apply for settled status and will be liable for expulsion - zero extra money for our health service - more expensive mobile phone costs and that's just what I can think off from the top of my head.

But also a much higher vaccination rate. Probably a few thousands more of your compatriots would have died had you followed the EU vaccination program, don't forget that.

  EU states were (and are) under no restrictions to persue their own deals with pharma companies. The UK would've been no different within the EU unless it chose to.

    So what's the benefit of the EU? They do terribly at basics like vaccinating people to keep them alive, but it's ok as you can do your own thing? Lol so why bother being part of it?

    Yet they didn't do it, aside from very minor exceptions. And with good reason, trying to outbid each other doesn't make a great strategy to keep a Union. I don't get why I'm downvited, btw.

An internal trade border within the UK that has directly triggered a multi-day arson-involved protest in the bit of the country that no longer has unfettered trade with the capital.

Lots of downvotes and no actual discussion. Pretty much sums up Brexit.
