I thought Brexit was going so great? That is what @dribbles keeps saying.
Brexit is going beautifully thank you here in reality. Of course some silly people will blame Brexit if it's raining, some for their divorce and lost friends, many here have mocked Britain and blamed Brexit for a shortage of Tomatoes. But to put it into perspective looking to what is happening across the water in the EU, where we might be if we had remained, and to be thankful every day that Brexit happened...

Funny, the most up to date list, shows the UK behind Germany since they don't have one for 2022 yet.

So basically Brexiteers are down to, "Look at this bad thing happening somewhere in the EU. Clearly it's the fault of the EU and literally nothing else and we don't need to investigate this further."
Brexiteers are basically constantly this -

Although it's unproven, the fuckers arrested for shooting Caldwell in front of his primary school-aged kids and their friends... some of them were late teens. Refreshing the circle of violence and all that. That was what Murray was banging on about. I dunno

Bit more complicated than that, innit? Only solution is self-determination. But, as everyone predicted, Brexit has rendered the process less stable.
But, Brexiteers don't care. Steve Baker doesn't. Sarah Vine doesn't.
That's why they can take their self pity and fucking choke on it.

there has always been a low level militant violence (1-5 killings a month) and the only real no go zones are in NI (cops get firebombed when they go in).
Id be surprised if this wasn't to do with a drug investigation.
veg isle is still fucking empty, no bananas either madness.
Bananas to blame Brexit for no bananas.
The majority of our bananas sold in the UK and Ireland come from Costa Rica, Ecuador and Colombia.

But then some people blame Brexit if it rains in the UK...
But the good Brexit news keeps on coming as I read talks are progressing well for the UK to join the CPTPP today, who have a combined population of 500 million far in excess of the EU.

Side effect of our membership of the CPTPP that noone talks about would be that it makes it impossible to rejoin the EU. Beautiful.

Okay dribbles, then educate us if this notion is bananas. If the shortage of fruit and veg in the UK is not linked in some way to Brexit, why is it that there are no similar shortages in the EU?
If it isn't the Brexit that our Brexiteer leaders gave us, then how else have our Brexiteer leaders failed us to cause this issue that isn't impacting the rest of the EU.
I'd just like to know what specifically the Brexiteers running the country have (or have not) done to cause this problem. You seem to be adamant that it's nothing to do with Brexit, you can't have that degree of certainty without a solid understanding of the real causes.
Please, let us know.

another big W for the brexiteers woohoo. Now we have to accept their rules on IP law and food standards. Rule takers from China oof.
Always happy to help Huey in disbarring global problems in their connection to Brexit.
From the end of summer 2022, the shortage of fruit made itself felt on the European banana market. Due to poor climate conditions (cold, rains, lack of sunshine), as well as a lack of fertilisation directly linked to increasing input costs, the dollar origins supply was well below average.

A European wide problem see, nothing to do with Brexit. Unless of course you blame poor climate conditions on Brexit, which wouldn't surprise me.
