    If this surprises you, you weren’t paying attention to who was saying it would lead to higher standards. There was no way it was ever going better with that bunch.

      It does not surprise me. I think I am quite well informed. I post to make others remember stuff like this. I fear that complacency could set in.

        Absolutely. Brexiteers need holding account. “Bonfire of red tape” always meant deregulation.

    The sooner we get rid of the Brexit supporting clowns and hangers on, the better. To demonstrate any potential upside to Brexit, you have to ignore the net losses. Brexit sucks and is destroying us daily. (Grumpy rant over)

      I have taken the belief that we should not be vindictive towards Brexiteers. The solution is in education, not vilification.

    Let’s get rid of EU red-tape so we can strip out the copper wiring sell the last bid of value to the highest bidder and buy a vila in southern France to happily live of the proceeds.
