    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

    I'll be staying on the original thread, if only to see if Stevo can resist replying. Well, and for old-times' sake.

    I am convinced that flimsy argument was just a figleaf to helpjustify an idea that for the leadership was entirely about sovreignty

    Brexit benefit obviously, that's the new quota for blue finned tuna now we've left.

    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.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    The return of Duty free shopping whilst coming back off holiday is a bonus. Just need to start smoking again.

    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 ;)
