  • Those who believed it could be a success, were into a low tax low service type of economy, American style... then the pandemic came and we suddenly realised how much we need the NHS and how much it costs to run it...
    Suddenly the all low tax argument makes no sense at all... hence the all Brexit argument makes no sense at all

    Blue finned tuna for blue passports.
    The most expensive passports in passport history. World class you might say. 😉
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

    Does this mean that the small number of Cake Stoppers who were desperately trying to keep the Brexit thread alive have now agreed to let it die with dignity as requested? :)

    Also people seem not to know really basic stuff post Brexit, such as when to use capital letters ;)
