brexit was just lies peddled to fools and racists
Sad and true 😠
Act the fool and play to racists, they need not be either of these things to get their votes.
They are better off than they were 10 years ago, can you say the same?
Wishful delusion ignoring important context at best, you’re precious.
Explain? Who is better off due to brexit? Because it is not the people
As you were told and as the public opinion showed, you chose poor wording and it seems you’re talking about the people being better off.
Because indeed, they’re not better off.
And you were condescending in your misunderstanding.
I referred to them as courting votes and then said they are better off.
I understand how people got confused but I wasn’t wrong and you were rude.
If the majority of people don’t understand you, as was the case, you can’t claim you were right, that’s how communication work.
And I’ll be rude and condescending to people I think support stupidity everyday, all the time, without shame.
I would apologize if you at least admitted your way of phrasing lead to that but it’s not gonna happen I’m betting.
Condescension and arrogance go really well together, I’d bet people are really looking forward to having you for dinner tomorrow.
I think the wording you’ve used is misleading people. When you say “they are better off” are you referring to the political class who fed this shit or the people who ate it up?
Political class, they played the fool to court racists and idiots when in fact it was a tactical move to enrich themselves and their cronies.
I don’t think the political class necessarily need to be stupid or racist to use this base to their advantage.
Can’t wait til they get onto those pork markets Liz Truss championed.
We import two thirds of all our cheese. That… is… a… disgrace.

So I’m guessing crashing our cheese exports is a win in her book, she wanted the British cheese for British people 🤪
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A priceless opportunity to sell “more affordable high-quality cheese to Canada” was one of those many Brexit boons that Boris Johnson championed with his customary blather as prime minister.
But after a meeting in recent days between Britain’s cheese makers and the UK government’s negotiating team there is a whiff to Johnson’s boasts that would put a stinking bishop to shame.
After months of reassuring words from the trade secretary, Kemi Badenoch, about working on a deal, the government is now advising cheese exporters on how to prepare for the worst.
Coombe Castle, which received the King’s award for enterprise in international trade in April 2023, has already had to set up a Dutch company in order to sell into the EU and is paying taxes in the Netherlands.
He said: “It is unacceptable that British cheese exporters are facing unfair price hikes because the government is distracted by its own endless chaos and many will be wondering why on Earth ministers agreed these cliff edges in the UK-Canada trade agreement in the first place.
William Bain, the head of trade policy at the British Chambers of Commerce, said: “It will be a worrying festive period for UK manufacturers and exporters of cheese and dairy products to Canada.”

Some hard facts with the hard cheese.
UK exporters shipped £18.7m worth of cheese to Canada in 2022.
So I guess it’s maybe 5% of where British cheese exports go.

The report showed that cheese is the UK’s top food export and is now worth nearly £400 million compared to chocolate sales of £386 million. Salmon and breakfast cereals are close behind with sales of both products exceeding £350 million.
