Have we really left yet?

Brexit is Margaret Thatcher's true legacy.

'I need a scape-goat'.

Ordering her ministers to blame Brussels for her disastrous economic failures.

'Nigel (Lawson) has messed it all up, now he must fix it'.

And what a target Brussels has been.

Totally unprepared to be portrayed as bureaucratic and anti-democratic, they even thought because the UK was a member, we were friends.

Now, it is an impossibility for the British to do anything but blame the EU for all their self-inflicted disasters.

The Remainers on here really don't know how sad they sound.
Britain has defied the global agenda and will prove that a move toward a globalised world is not an evolution but a choice. There is no natural evolution in man made decisions since the term describes something that is a random process.
Ask dogs if they think that man made 'evolution' worked well for them. They used to be proud wolves and now many of them are rat sized ugly lap warmers.
Something similar would happen to Britain if they slowly surrendered control of power to Brussels.

Sure we will have no one to blame for our mistakes and that is just how I like it. We will become better by learning from them like everyone does.
The biggest mistake we made so far was to join the common market and then open the flood gates of immigration.

If we could build a great big wall all around the UK and never let anyone in, or out, ever again, and become totally self-sufficient in every aspect of life, feeding ourselves and manufacturing all we needed, then your plan might work. We would of course have to commit huge sums to our defence too.

Life would be very hard and really boring. A bit like North Korea without the fun.

There is though a basic problem. The people wouldn't accept it for a moment. The rest of the world exists. We are part of it and if they now think globally we have no choice than to do so too. They are both our customers and our suppliers. Today's world is interdependent. Mess with it and it's you that gets hurt.

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.

It's been confirmed that Big Ben will bong on the 31st of December as we transition from the EU.

'Who are you and how did you get in here? I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith.' (Leslie Nielsen)

Mistake 101 by the Remainers.

Brexit is about expanding our horizons beyond the EU not pulling up the drawbridge. Yes we want a sensible immigration policy but that should be in the control of the elected government. When Labour next win I have no doubt that they will adjust the policy as is their right.

As for self sufficiency what sensible person would not be in favour of it. Do we really want to rely on Russia and the Middle east for our energy? As for food I am fine with importing it especially the exotics but would prefer the basics to be home grown we were 6 weeks from starvation during WW2.

Brexit should be an outward looking UK in control of its own affairs and trading with other nations. In this century the growth markets will not be US and Europe but the rest of the world we have a great opportunity to exploit that.
