I voted and campaigned for remain in the EU Referendum. However, as I did then and I still do now, I totally acknowledge ‘my side’ lost, and that there were good reasons to vote to leave the EU. I was just on the side of Remain, mainly based on some of the consequences we see now. I defended those who voted differently to me and still do, when very arrogant, lazy, FBPE, Lib Dem/Labour Right people said those voting Brexit were racist, xenophobic etc; and there was definitely some of that. But certainly not the majority. So I defended many people who voted leave and almost everyone who voted leave told anyone who would listen that they “KNEW EXACTLY” what they were voting for…
Therefore, you’ll forgive my fury at those MANY people now who keep saying “This wasn’t the Brexit I voted for”. It was. Because exactly what is happening now, and let’s not pretend that it has been and is currently absolutely f***ing disastrous on many levels (especially for small businesses like I work for…oh, and I have lost count of the amount of delivery drivers who told me they voted leave and now massively regret it), is what you were told would definitely happen. You chose not to believe that, and that, of course, was your right to do so. But that also comes with responsibility and it comes with taking it on the chin re the consequences.
Also, remember all those FBPE, Labour Right lot (including MPs from other parties too) who lied through their teeth about Jeremy Corbyn, then blew the couple of chances to back a very soft Brexit when it could have been achieved, then refused to back Corbyn as PM when Johnson could have been ousted pre 2019 General Election… who now defend one of the main architects of Labour’s 2019 General Election defeat BECAUSE of their stupid, arrogant, patronising and insanely bad political judgement… and have said absolutely F**k all about Keir Starmer backing the hardest, crappiest, most self-destructing Brexit possible. Indeed, he whipped to make sure they backed it.
I appreciate the media are not talking in these terms. Quite deliberately of course, because they were equally guilty in all this.
So, Starmer’s lot, FBPE lot, your James O’ Brien’s, Lib Dems, Greens, SNP etc YOU were all a MAJOR part of where we are now, then the Starmer/FBPE lot who backed Starmer backing THE worst possible Brexit….. AND those Brexiteers are now complaining that this isn’t the Brexit they voted for….YOU also have to take responsibility and own what you did, because you repeatedly, angrily, stated you knew what you were voting for. Between these two seemingly opposite groups, they have given us what we have now-an absolutely, insanely incompetent, arrogant, ruthless, cruel, disastrous government and Opposition. THE biggest sh*t show and Opposition sh*t show it is possible to muster. In conjunction with THE worst media, and THE worst commentariat.
Thank you all so, so much. Well done. Jeremy Corbyn would have been a disaster they tell us. HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE SO F***KING WRONG AND SO F***KING ARROGANT and STILL DOING THE MENTAL GYMNASTICS OF DENIAL WHERE YOU STILL BLAME CORBYN AND HIS SUPPORTERS?!?!
Now the rest of us have to live with your arrogance and incompetency, as I see our rivers and seas full of sewage, worker’s rights being touted to be eroded at a huge pace, empty shelves, starving people, malnutrition, economic collapse etc etc etc. And absolutely no responsibility or admission from these dangerous f***wits who go on being ‘experts’ with complete impunity.
WELL DONE, WELL DONE!

Unfortunately it isn’t just Leave supporters who have to “take it on the chin” though is it. Every country has Covid and Ukraine costs to deal with, but only the UK has added Brexit costs on top due to the Brexit fall in the pound, new red tape, loss of EU workers and supply constraints. 6% on food – Brexit. Loss of £100 billion net to GDP from being outside the SM – Brexit. Crops rotting, sewage dumped due to lack of chemicals, hospitality venues closing – Brexit. 40% of our doctor shortfall made up of those no longer willing to leave the EU to work here – Brexit. And so on.
Everyone should remember this: every bill you pay has an added Brexit cost on top. Every one. All because Cameron wanted to see off a small faction of zealots, the ERG, in the Tory party. A Tory catfight has led to economic catastrophe because too many people would rather watch football and game shows and indulge in celebrity worship than take the time to undertake proper research of the consequences of what they were voting for. So easy to just believe a campaign of lies, so easy to dismiss warnings as Project Fear, so easy to sneer at those who made those warnings. Cameron? He jumped ship rapidly as he knew what the vote would do to the country.
In 2007 living standards were 8% below those of NW Europe – now, post Brexit that figure is 20% and soon even countries like Poland and Slovenia will have a better living standard than us. Now Leave supporters know what they were voting for. It was for poverty, arriving now – sorry for the delay. Enjoy your trip to the foodbank, just don’t tell anyone you voted for it. Project Reality is here to stay.
