*** OFFICIAL BREXIT SUNLIT UPLANDS and #MEGA THREAD ***

That may be, although it might also just be the case that many more people have cameras to hand than ten years ago. In any case, it has nothing to do with Brexit. We wouldn't have better roads if we had the same government but were still in the EU. It's just nonsense to even relate potholes to Brexit, like you're having to work really hard to find reasons to still moan about it.

lol, cause it's been such a huge success. High inflation and low growth ftw!

Also, this comment is pretty ironic since this convo started by me pointing out how hard the Express has to work to find reasons to complain about the EU.

Brexit has been a fantastic success. The economy has survived us leaving an economic bloc, a pandemic, and gross neglect from the government. We're still one of the leading economies in the world, still ahead of France, despite everything that has happened in the last five years. High inflation and low growth isn't exclusive to the UK, it's a global cost of living crisis that affects nearly every country.

Let me put it another way. The war in Ukraine is having a much more serious impact on our economy than Brexit has. That, and the war in Israel, is causing an energy crisis, which means people paying more for everything.

This is why there's high inflation and low growth, and this is why it's not exclusive to the UK. Everyone is affected by rising energy costs.

Brexit is nothing compared to war.

Brexit is nothing compared to war.

"It won't be as bad as a war." If only they had put that on the side of a bus instead of "Let's give the NHS £350m" or whatever.
