Blame Google translate.

It's awful mate, even duolingo is better. It might work OK with a very formulaic language like German but it hasn't a hope with the Celtic tongues, so much is about inflection and phrasing and words can have multiple meanings dependant on context. Focloir.ie has (some) input from Gaeilgeoirs so it's a lot better. Teanglann.ie is decent too.

It's annoying because I always do the reverse translation afterwards to check it goes back to what I started with.

Leave won, INHO, because remain got dragged into the leave narrative instead of just giving all the benefits of being a member.

Its very difficult to sell the 'status quo' ..... particularly to those that cant remember or weren't around before the benefits came along.

We should've been shouting those benefits from the rooftops for the last 50 years though.

What a daft article saying Britain has lost it’s ability to control its own destiny and its primary premise of size has nothing to do with it.

Exhibit A. Size. Haven’t the EU/US only just recently agreed a ceasefire in their own long running retaliatory tariff war? A war we were forced to wage irrespective of Britain’s own views?

Exhibit B. Destiny. At least we have the option to back down on taxing big tech (although I don’t think we should), isn’t that controlling our own destiny?

Bias journalism by someone with an axe to grind to feed the masses who have the same axe to grind.

what it shows is the sun doesn't shine out of our collective arseholes - Leavers thought Brexit was consequence free - ask fishermen and hauliers if thats the case. Lets go ahead and tax big tech - we can its our choice and lets see how much control we have

I’m not sure if being the status quo is a benefit or a hinderance. They let leave control the narrative, you ain’t going to win if all you do is defend.

I agree on your last part. Maybe if we hadn’t spent the last 40 years fighting the EU and taking the piss we may have all felt a bit more European.
