Honest answers, Brexiteers only, what price do you consider too high to leave the EU?

Well. I’m sorry, but back in 2016 it was as plain as day to me (a simple peasant) that yes, this separation was going to do neither side any good.
So, guess what, I voted against it.
There is no satisfaction from me from that as all my family are living/trading in the uk but I am at least relieved that my own business is 99.9% European. I can manage for a year or two for David brown parts (it’s retired anyway), Martin leishman bits are a bit more annoying. If the sh!t really hits the fan, then farming in the uk with claas, Deere, Fendt.....🤔?
I think you maybe quoted me by mistake? none of this is to do with my points.

Fair enough.

Let’s be honest, you don’t need to be bright for this job😂

Are you saying that all the problems are to do with leaving the single market? we all knew there would be problems there but that's not what we're talking about.
The issue here is the awkward attitude that seems to be in place which is nothing to do with the deal we left with.
Are you saying the BOE guy is making it up? what do you think Gove was having a meeting about yesterday if not to address these issues?
Are you really saying that there is absolutely no agenda here and we are all making it up? because that's how it looks and if that's what you are telling us how much else of what you say should be taken with a pinch of salt?
This is doing neither side any good so hopefully they all come to their senses but this comes right from the top of the EU as we saw with the vaccines fiasco and the Irish border humiliation so there's obviously some sort of policy there.

Yes actually. Voluntarily leaving the single market AND the customs union, voluntarily signs up for a raft of restrictions, constrictions, paperwork, delays, higher costs etc.
Don’t tell me, British business lobbies weren’t sick and tired of telling the government that business would suffer outside the SM
The governments response was “f**k business”!
Not everything has changed though. EU is still getting the blame.

You missed the point entirely. Probably deliberately.

Gove hasn't got 90% of the Protocol working. As Šefčovič said "put the whole Protocol in place. Then we'll see. You haven't done what you agreed to do, so you've broken the agreement already."
You wrote the Third country rules, you voted them in place, you pushed harder for them than many other countries to implement them while in the EU. Then you voted to become a a Third Country. FFS!
So now you whine constantly that the EU are implementing said rules. Did you really think they would say ' aahh it's ok , you can have your cake and eat it'.
Sod off to WTO, you've half screwed the country over , go commando and finish the job 100%!

A shortage of parts will lead to a drop in whole machine purchases and a gift to the likes of Kubota. No wonder the Germans are commenting on the slump in sales to the UK. Who really is shooting themselves in the foot?
