How do we resolve the Brexit mess?

Your double negative means immigration was a factor.

Speaking to people who voted leave, the "Polish wage thieves" was a common theme.

Always makes me laugh the old “poles stole our jobs” mob - nobody had a problem when the Polish fighter pilots massively helped us win the Battle of Britain

Greece actually put the bail out option to a vote. Democracy in action. A lot of people thought it was a bit cheeky of Germany to be dictating to Greece when Germany had had its war debts cancelled.

Yanis Varoufakis's book, Adults in the Room is a good read on that whole episode.

I recall 'Operation Fear' by Remainers before the referendum and after the referendum result stating the British economy would collapse within weeks of the UK leaving the EU, there would be 100,000's of job loses, financial instituions and companies would leave the UK en-masse and move to Europe, companies wouldn't invest in the UK anymore, the employment market, housing market, etc would all collpase, the UK would come to grinding halt.

Where are the cheaper clothes and energy we were promised?

Bits of that have happened , some businesses have gone under some are struggling to survive.Many businesses and sectors including health services are struggling to fill posts.Many have extra costs What we do know is everything is a bit more difficult and shitter than it was, and nobody can list a single benefit.

Liz Truss when asked about being a remainer before the 2016 referendum said she has wrong then and has changed her view. It's a shame the interviewer didn't have the balls to ask her based on what evidence I'm still waiting for someone to be able to identify a single tangible benefit from it besides all of the ideological claptrap.

They were chatting bollocks though. Anyone with half an ounce of sense knew that it wasn't going to fall apart on day one of leaving the EU. It would be a long painful drawn out process of deterioration, a bit like gangrene setting in.

I don’t recall anyone saying that. I don’t suppose you have any proof?

The disaster that is Brexit continues to unwind not least in the way it has allowed the libertarians currently in control of the country to move forward with their agenda largely unfettered.

Exactly.
