The Brexit faithful will never stop believing and inventing new reasons it failed.
What are you talking about, “failed”? The UK is not a member of the EU anymore.

Blackmist@feddit.uk 1 day agoDon’t worry. The papers are already on it, in their bid to put Farage in power.
The Brexit faithful will never stop believing and inventing new reasons it failed. Wrong type of Brexit. What Brexit did they want? Vera Lynn singing on the cliffs of Dover. Dying old men smoking in pubs. No muzzies. A flashback to a childhood without all the grotty bits they’d forgotten.

Yeah but we’re not exactly living in the utopian society that we were promised. If anything brexit has proven to be as disastrous as everyone who opposed it predicted.
The brexit voters are utterly unprepared to accept they made a mistake so they are casting around to find reasons to blame everyone but themselves. Clearly somebody did something wrong clearly there was some evil cabal intent on ruining it for them. L

Have you looked at other European countries lately? They’re no utopian societies either. And things like the EU probably going to demand 34 billion Euros from Germany for not quite reaching the arbitrary climate goals the EU made up… make me very happy that the UK isn’t a part of those shenanigans anymore.

You mean the arbitrary climate goals Germany and all members of the EU made up.
The EU is not some nebulous org that doesn’t exist without it’s members. Germany was a huge part of the members calling for these goals.
As was the UK in absolutely everything brexiters complained about.

I’ve no idea what promises you’re referring to.

I don’t see how voting for brexit was a mistake. Again, the UK is out of the EU. Seems successful to me.

You know all of the promises that Boris Johnson the enormously deceitful individual gave. How he’d be able to negotiate all our own trade deals with India and Australia and suddenly those countries would randomly want to trade with us. Where did those trade deals go?
How are we better out of the EU than we are in it if our biggest trading partner remains the EU and therefore all of our policies and business practises have to be in line with EU requirements in order for them to accept our goods. What we seem to have voted for is to still be under EU rules but to have lost any ability to have an input on them.
You appear to be defining success according to your own definition so you can claim victory where none was achieved. You are defining success as it was done, yeah we left but we got zero benefit out of it.

As expected, the Brexit faithful and the rightwing press are already at it: unacceptable, sellout, waiving the white flag, surrender, capitulation, etc. This deal could prove to be rather popular, so the outrage crowd may find their attacks fall a bit flat.
