UK based, left, anti-EU but 100% anti-reform. Space Karen's Hellsite, anti-vaxxers and other low IQ morons are slowly making me think Stalin had the right idea. Save me Bluesky. You are my only hope.

Who knows what the senile, mango mussolini thinks, remembers, forgets or lies about? The main issue is to watch for the cancelling elections that Trump knows will be lost by him. If that happens then 'Good Luck' to all real Americans.

I'm more likely to vote for Starmer on magic mushrooms. Maybe hallucinogens will add some colour. He cannot be entirely a human coloured strip of magnolia.

This is probably true but it doesn't change the fact if we'd remained the pound likely would be higher possibly near to £1.45 to the euro and this also stifling exports. See this Brexit "thing" sometimes works out neither bad nor good.
February 1, 2026 at 6:12 PM
That is a good point but the higher value pound was previously punishing UK to EU exports and in part driving the reduction in UK exports to the EU. The pound did slide on brexit but recovered much then dropped. The pound is probably now where it should be.

I disagree brexit was a fundamentally racist, though proponents on the right took this route. Interestingly the ultra far right were (are?) pro-EU preferring to take white migrants over non-white refugees/migrants. Such groups also used poor turnout EU elections to gain foothold. BNP in the 2000s.

100%. It is pretty obvious we could have done more and in particular the right is reluctant to let people own their own means of energy production.

The idea we are solely a competitor is an example of binary thought - especially in the age that the EU seeks help against Russia as Trump becomes unreliable.
January 31, 2026 at 6:55 PM
I'd have to disagree on the trade deal point. I feel many remainers have become extremely binary in their thoughts - wishing no deals over any useful deal. The EU will as the Trumpian new world hits, likely begin to think about flexible options beyond a slippery slope to full integration.
January 31, 2026 at 6:52 PM
It is worth pointing out that prior to brexit we was importing more than exporting.

Many small/medium UK business are probably exactly where the trajectory was going regardless of the outcome. Large businesses appear honestly unaffected by Brexit. Trump's trade war is the current problem.

We do need more renewables but I think we should celebrate that we have got this far despite the Tories and the right trying to slow down the introduction of workable, green and renewable solutions. 25% of UK power currently being provided by wind while writing

Would UK inflation not also need to be contrasted with inflation in the EU? I've not looked recently but I'd suspect inflation across the EU is also up given the energy choices the EU has made.
January 31, 2026 at 6:42 PM
Are we talking about UK companies here? Small, medium of large? Are we talking about exporting or importing ? I think we need some context to be able to say who has been a Brexit winner, loser or neutral outcome.
January 31, 2026 at 6:40 PM
We don't rely on foreign gas much and hopefully less so as we continue to lead with green renewables like wind and solar. I have to say my point was about the actions regarding energy choices in the EU over the past two decades! it was not a criticism of the UK!
January 31, 2026 at 6:40 PM
Oh and just to add both sides has really good and bad proponents. Leavers thinking all inbound migration would stop. Hysterical remainers stocking up on canned goods... still least they probably got some use in covid.
January 31, 2026 at 5:45 PM
Ten years on and sadly the EU is not still not appealing to me. In particular the continued EU reliance on Russian gas even as Russia became more unruly. A comprehensive trade deal is all we need (not CU). The other integrations were never needed. This Trumpian world may make the EU more pragmatic.

The grim part of this is justice may take so long Trump will be long dead. The great part about this is Trump will die naturally one day. Soon hopefully.

It would be better to quietly target the cars and other ICE assets with a fairly discrete way of disabling them. This is not an endorsement of such action. I am just saying this because other methods appear to get one noticed, followed and shot.

Local flags are pretty cool though especially considering how dull both the England and Union flags are. I'm often surprised parties with a localism slant don't use them more. The more people don't adopt regional or local flags the more the far right will use them.

Lets be honest though. Travel may broaden the mind but package holidays chasing the sun do not.

I'm aghast saying this on the outside looking in but fascism has come to America. I hope left and liberal people realise they can use the second amendment to protect themselves.

Remember when Trump called deceased US military personnel "suckers and losers". I remember. The malignant narcissist strikes again this time. Trump is a man not even was not liked by his sex trafficking peadophile mates. Says it all.
