None of this should be surprising unless you've been just gobbling up whatever you heard through mainstream media.

Britain is at a breaking point. There are existential questions to be asked:

Is Britain British without British Bourgeoisie that have lived there for thousands of years with new arrivals that have no commmon culture or connection to the land?

Can Japan be called Japan without Japanese that have lived there for thousands of years and their homogeneous identity?

Why is it okay for one but not the other? Where does this double standard come from ?

The fact is the loudest voice in the room so far has never been representative of the answer to the above questions.

At the time "polls" predicted a Remain win. Between the vote and the eventual Brexit along with protests, there was a government petition for a redo and a Remain optimism that a re-do would flip the result. For this poll to me meaningful, I would expect to see declining support for Reform. But the opposite is happening.

Also today: UK cutting infrastructure investments into healthcare and education by £5bn to fund defence [1].

I'm all up for defence spending in Europe, but if you had anything to do with British state education or healthcare, you know what a desperate move this is.

I'm curious what valid reasons there are against Brexit? AFAICT, most people arguing it is/was bad are ignoring any kind of evidence.

The UK is doing fine, especially relative to other EU countries. None of the things the anti-Brexit side claimed would happen have happened.

Didn't the polls say the same before brexit? I don't get it. They left to stay away from regulations, just to put even harsher ones.

This is why these kinds of decisions shouldn’t be flipped on a marginal vote. Most countries require a supermajority before doing something like this.

Sadly this now cuts the other way and the EU is highly unlikely to enter into anything with us without serious guarantees.

Tufts University asked an academic what the financial results were for the UK:

"The British GDP has been reduced by 6–8%, business investment has been reduced by 12%, and trade volume has been reduced by 15%, compared to what it could have been if the U.K. had remained in the EU."

That's a dangerous situation for EU:

- UK would rejoin EU,

- and then, later on, Reform would reach power and undermine EU just like Orban did.

So maybe it would be better to refuse UK its reentry into EU...

I don’t buy it. They are getting ready make Farage a prime minister, based on the exact same premise: xenophobia.

I don't really understand what the point was since they haven't gotten rid of harmful EU policies like the climate change hysteria.

At the time it was the best thing for the UK. Then Starmer came along and ran the country into the ground, so it's really no wonder they want back in with the EU. No one is surprised...
