How he has died and gone to heaven? CP and Steeley living the dream, whilst most others are living a nightmare

"Dover is once again beset by miles of traffic jams.... not because of brexit, but because of Brussels bureaucracy & red tape".

Of all people, the Tory MP for Dover Natalie Elphicke.

Its not of course caused by our membership of the EU, which allowed us to trade seamlessly with Europe, but brexit itself which re-installed all the bureaucracy we previously had, with knobs on.

Facing ridicule she continued with her failed Thatcher impression and Johnson immediately agreed with her.

It was about the majority of those who voted expressing a political view that you did not and do not agree with.

Russia’s top diplomat since 2004, said on Thursday the British side was unresponsive to the Kremlin's point of view.

“I’m rather disappointed that meeting Miss Truss is a bit like talking to a deaf person,” he said.

“It’s like they’re listening to us but not hearing.”

He is obviously in tune with post-brexit Britain.

This is the Brexit apologists way of spinning the situation. That politicians would behave politically could have been, should have been and was, anticipated. France was never going to make things easy for us. The EU as a whole don't want other waverers encouraged.

Food imports from all over the world isn't new. If we are actually importing more then it won't be because they are cheaper for us. It will be because they can be obtained by air and in no danger of spoiling in lorry queues. We just pay the price which, as you will have noticed, is going up. A lot.

I have yet to see a single Brexit benefit, but many negatives. I cannot detect any on the horizon either.

The brass nosed Brexiteer will continue in denial forever, convinced being able to manage poverty ourselves is better than sharing prosperity with others. Those who were always 50:50ish won't be so sanguine. The mood is already changing, and it ain't going to shift the other way.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

So a good reason for staying in the EU is France and the others wont be nasty to us?

You should think about that, it's like the East Germans building a wall to keep their people in.

Being afraid to be bullied by the EU was and is never a reason to not leave in fact is shows just what a bunch of C units they are.

The EU has behaved badly all the way through this process and yet you prefer to blame our politicians and laud theirs.

I don't want Scotland to leave the union but if they do I hope the UK behaves a lot better and fairer to them because one day they might change their mind and come back.

There is no change of us rejoining the EU whilst they behave the way they are now.
