10 Years of Brexit

I see that it’s been 10 years since a tiny majority of the citizens of the UK voted to leave the EU (51.89 per cent voted in favour of leaving the EU and 48.11 per cent voted to remain a member state). It was a referendum and the then Tory government had decided that a simple majority would be enough for the UK to pull the plug on EU membership. David Cameron, the then Prime Minister, resigned 24 hours later and walked away from the mess he had created.

10 years on and Brexit continues to be a disaster for the UK. Enter “Brexit” into the Search field on this blog and you get three pages of tales of woe that it has caused.

No, today is not a day to celebrate.
