  1. I always had a sense that Brexit was about lowering standards in many areas, and because the UK economy isn't doing so great, the government has more of an incentive to lower standards to boost economic growth, that might look good on paper for the economy, but it's not good for the British people as standards drop, and the Tories have always wanted to lower standards even whiles we were in the EU, now the UK doesn't have the check and balanced from the EU, the Tories might get away with it by doing it slowly, hoping the British people don't notice and accept it. One thing I do know, Brexit was never about higher standards as the Tories wanted us to think, the EU sets a high standard in many areas already, EU members can have higher standards than the base EU standard, but they can't have lower standards, so the UK could have higher standards than EU standards whiles in the EU but can't have lower, and I think that is what Brexit is really all about, after all, there have been many cases where the Tories have been pulled back into line by trying to lower standards in the UK, only for the EU to pull them back into line, now the Tories can get away with it if the British people let them, which they probably will. In the meantime, they are going to continue to weaken the NHS so it gets so bad that more Brits go for private insurance and honestly, I think most Brits are unaware of what's going on and if was you, I would keep a close eye on the government in any areas where they try to water down rights and standards, because they will try to do so to boost economic growth.

  2. That deal with Canada is a prime indicator that the UK is a weaker country and has less leverage, the UK was trying to get a deal in line or better than the EU got, but Canada knows it can get a better deal out of the UK then it could with the EU and Canada pushed on that, basically, the UK give Canada and every other country in the world a stronger hand against them thanks to Brexit and many are taking advantage of it. The EU might be on the slower side of getting trade deals, but it always gets deals that are favourable for themselves, and it's easy to sign a trade deal, it's another thing to get a good one, the UK since Brexit is basically getting worse deals then what the EU could get them and the Canada deal is a prime example of that, among others. Anyway, has there actually been any tangible benefits to Brexit, you know, the ones that actually have value? Because all I keep seeing with Brexit is disadvantages it's giving, and we really need a website that shows the benefits for and against Brexit in all areas, I suspect the list against Brexit is massive now and growing. For me, the real crime on Brexit is the ones that pushed hard for Brexit, pushed a lot of lies are not being held accountable, we live in a democracy, but a democracy is quite weak if we don't hold the ones accountable, and this is a real problem I find in the UK public, the people pretty much give them a free hand to do what they want, tell any lies they want, push through with them and not hold them to account, it's no wonder they keep lying, they know the British people will do nothing anyway. The sad thing is, I don't think much is going to change and might get worse, you've got a Tory government that can't change its tune on Brexit because they've dug themselves in too deep, you've got a Labour leader that seems scared to mention the word Brexit and is playing all sides to try and win voters, it's clear that momentum among Brits is changing, that they see Brexit as a mistake and many have changed their minds, but unless any leadership is being shown from any of the major political parties, it's going to mean nothing unless the British people show leaders, which unfortunately, we have a poor track record of standing up to governments to get what we want, so expect things to continue to get worse unless something drastic changes among the British people, so a wake-up call.
