While that's 100% true, the UK wasn't in the Euro so they got to enjoy all the EU's benefits with none of its drawbacks.

They even got some extra benefits noone else got

The experience over the years
of nothing getting better

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/aug/23/grenfell-british-media-divide

quote:

In April this year, I was involved, alongside Bill Gates, in judging a schools debating competition in London. I was there to judge the best floor speech. I had little difficulty in deciding – the winner was Firdows Hashim, a remarkably poised, headscarf-wearing 12-year-old from west London. She was confident, and used language beautifully. Two months later, reporting from Grenfell, I spotted a picture of Firdows on a missing poster.

Two weeks ago it was confirmed that the remains of Firdows and her father had been found in their flat, their identities confirmed using DNA. Firdows has been described as “the most intelligent, wise and eloquent girl”. I was fortunate enough to witness that first-hand, and since then I often think what she might have become. Could she have prevailed over the fractures in our society, and succeeded?

Arguing railway nationalisation with olds and libs is v annoying because they go "well it doesn't help and nobody wants it" despite things clearly getting worse after privatisation and everyone wanting cheaper trains.

Almost like they're detached or dishonest and will be assigned to the jam plantations

privatisation doesn't work, nothing like higher cost and worse service.

quote:

Brexit campaigners have seized on signs of a possible climbdown over Europe and are using it to rally support around alternative Tory leaders, according to a study.

Promotion of hot button issues such as the ECJ now appears to be behind a wave of online support for Tory politicians who are opposed to any softening of the government strategy, and may stir a similar resurgence in support for Ukip as Labour also softens its Brexit message.

“The issue is a proxy for sovereignty and control, and has become a tool for galvanising Tory Brexiteers and Ukip supporters, coalescing their support around Jacob Rees-Mogg,” said Joe Harrod, chief operating officer of Signify.
