So is this the post Brexit Utopia we were promised?

[Henarar]

There's a lot who are doing better post Brexit , both workers and business owners , many of those moaning now never planned ahead and expected nothing to change .

I know, thats why I got out of sheep farming cos all the experts said it would be crap post brexit

Really. Can you point me to the news items showing empty shelves and petrol panic buying in the EU please. I haven’t seen any.
Europe had Covid as did we, but only we had Brexit. Coincidence perhaps? I never accepted that not joining the Euro was a good thing either. Still, the sunlit uplands are just over the horizon, along with the £350 million for the NHS.

How much was pumped into the NHS through the Pandemic afterwards?
Possibly treble that and more and not over yet ?

There was a new golden dawn promised by arch Brexiteers if we left the EU.

The reality so far, while we await the belated sunrise, which I’m sure will happen: is partially unharvested fruit and vegetable crops, galloping inflation, a chronic shortage of delivery drivers, chaotic scenes at fuel stations, long delays in importing vital goods and an ever growing number of empty shelves in retail outlets.

Now not all these maladies are a result of us leaving the EU, but some are: and the Utopian idyll we were all promised when Britannia was once again able to rule the waves and create a glorious new era of world trade seems rather slow to materialise. Never mind, apparently all good things come to those who wait, and wait.........

FFS ,Boris isn't Paul Daniels ...... it's magic .

Experts are drips under pressure , you have to make your own decisions.

I suspect there are plenty of areas of the world that have far higher population density than the UK, just not if you take figures for the whole country. Plenty of cities with people living on top of each other, whish you would think was rife for spreading an air borne virus.

No intermingling to see here?

I'd go with the infection stats being bilge tbh.

the net result of limiting immigration for work will just result in more imports no one wins.

Are you taking into consideration UK tax payers are paying farmers subsidies?

 

[caveman]

You only pay tax on the margin if there is enough to show a profit.

Sheep farming is crap regardless of lamb price though for the moment prices this year have surprised me. I for one didn't factor in high global sheep prices offsetting the impact of EU tarrifs Rather than thinking lamb price is up £30 despite Brexit the truth is lamb price is up only £30 because of Brexit, it could have been up more! Exports to EU in first half of year down 25% but this has to a significant degree been offset but our lower production and reduced Irish meat imports.. had those who got out or cut back numbers because of Brexit fears not done we would be looking at rather different numbers!
