Bit odd, thought Bernard was a very keen Brexie? But this piece is from the Express comic..
Wouldn't have thought he or Boris would care one jot about losing some EU leaning Brits - they would even encourage it.

The EU continue to demonstrate why we voted to leave. Opinion against them is now harder than ever.
I believe you are right in this analysis. Even some remain voters are now seeing the full extent of the EU system “from the other side of the fence” which is hardening attitudes towards the EU governance. I believe most people still like Europe but not the political animal in Brussels. Interesting times.

You had better tell the Brexiteers, they can't seem to come to terms with the fact they have nobody to blame anymore. :ROFLMAO:
I was referring to your continual “negative to the UK” news trawling, not what Brexiteers May or May not like about the new situation. Interesting to see a shel fisherman from Scotland having some success in exporting to the far east now which is considerably easier than to Europe. Smacks a little of the EU “cutting of their nose to spite their face”. While I accept it seemed stupendously daft to leave our closer trading partner this country did, just decide to do this. Ce la vie!
 
Only by those who had an opinion against them in the first place.


Before the negotiations I was indifferent to the EU, as the problem was getting representation in Westminster without the EU excuse being ventured all the time.

Post Brexit I really want nothing to do with the EU at all.

The problem remains in Westminster and won't totally be sorted until the idiots with EU fascination grow up.

What we need to see is the positives that have come from Brexit. It seems fairly easy to find the negatives but only very rarely are any positives seen. I don’t know the story of the Scottish shellfish producer but when you say he is having some success exporting to China is this a success story as in he’s doing better exporting to China than he did exporting to the EU or is he just making the best of a bad job.

For years the Noway prawns which did not go to the high end markets in Southern Europe were sent to Thailand where the meat was removed and breaded to be sold as scampi. It was always the market of last resort

Oh, lets not be pedantic and bother too much about a single fish processor or cheese maker or three, having had a recent successful entry to a far flung foreign market. That was ever thus. There’s always individual success stories.
The Brexit success has to be measured on national product flow data, compared to what it was pre the revolution.
Step up to the podium, ye advocates of Brexit and show us the economic benefits thus far. They must be substantial….

Well so far we hear far more about the downside of this move. The upsides will always take longer to surface as they have to be developed. Right now it’s easy to point out the downsides so I guess you’ll just carry on copy paste for the time being. Hey ho.

You do not need to trawl. The Brexit loving UK press like the Telegraph, Sun, Express, Mail are full anti EU propaganda every day. As for the benefits, I've been asking, what they are for the last 5 years and apart from nebulous stuff like getting our sovereignty, back its a bit thin on the ground compared to what we have lost.

Can you honestly say that is because of Brexit? Nissan came here because we were in the EU, it is of course a totally different company now. I am pleased that they are expanding production up there, which is most certainly on the back of promises of large sums of our taxes.
Every large corp which goes to any country will have govt. subs, it's standard. It may not because of Brexit but where is the doom that we were all promised? Hasn't happened and won't happen. Plus, it's not our taxes. The BOE will just print some more cash just as all central banks do.

No you can't. Same with Vauxhall and the new van plant resurrecting due to all the demand from Covid World couriers

What it does show is big globals flick their position as much as politicians
