Comments by "Steve Parker" (@steveparker8065) on "Tory minister fails to name a single Brexit benefit" video.

I can name a few Brexit benefits: It helped uncover shadowy groups such as the E-R-G. Has shown how good we had it under the EU. Shows how flawed the system is. Shows how data mining the public helps to steer and manipulate them to vote against their own interests. And has also shown how important the lack of transparency on our overseas territories are to the money men...

lol, there are loads personally I love the way Brexit has improved the lives of Brits up all over the Union. How smooth the transition was and how quickly all the border, import and export issues were solved. I was especially pleased with how little money was spent on administration and how the UK's standing improved on the global stage, especially in Europe. There were virtually no financial losses and the pound keeps soaring ever higher. The UK has become unified and we all feel a closer kinship with the world. It's like a dream come true and there were hardly any teething problems as you'd expect with such a huge endeavour. The Tories protected the GFA at all costs. They made a plan right at the beginning and stuck to it all the way through, for a seamless transition, without aggravating a precarious peace. While implementing border controls that were easy to understand and smooth sailing for all involved. So glad we didn't lose any of the trading deals and relationships that took decades to build. An all-around success story for the UK. Now all that's left to do is to sit back and enjoy all those wonderful benefits with a nice cup of Sovereign Tea and a trip to the sunlit uplands to feed my Unicorns...

@andywest6062 lol the combined membership fees we paid to the EU in 47 years have been dwarfed by the administration costs of Brexit alone...

@gabrieldarcy1744 Not to mention that the Tories did such a wonderful job with the pandemic, protecting care homes, buying cost-effective and durable PPE, spending a minuscule amount on the test and trace system, and leading by example during the lockdown... Those wonderful philanthropic humanitarians in the Tory party make me proud to be British!

@andywest6062 PS "In 2020 the UK made an estimated gross contribution (after the rebate) of £17.0 billion. The UK received £4.5 billion of public sector receipts from the EU, so the UK's net public sector contribution to the EU was an estimated £12.6 billion." ...and this may interest you "estimate of the “economic cost” of Brexit, £130 billion, now exceeds what we’ve paid in to the EU over 47 years."

@andywest6062 lol I just lost 50 points off my IQ reading that. Don't let your mind wander it's far too little to be let out on its own!

@martinday2815 Sure please do. I just love the way the Tories have always done their best for Britain and its citizens. Every decision they make is carefully considered to provide the best opportunities for the British people especially the poor, vulnerable and disabled. They always do their utmost to help the elderly, especially during the winter and provide safe care homes for them in which to spend their final years. They never abuse their power by selling Britain out to the highest bidder, and they never give their donors and friends overpriced contracts at the taxpayer's expense. They are the most moral, dependable servants of the country and always put everyone else above their own interests. It's indeed a pleasure and a privilege to be governed by such altruistic, philanthropic humanitarians, with such integrity, compassion and honour. Long live our inspiring Etonian overlords and their wealthy corporate handlers...

Thanks to all the first few points were given to me in a comment by a poster named Jodie, but can't find the original so couldn't credit.

@chrislaurenceleo Agreed, Panama Scandal (Which named Camerons and Johnsons) - EU tax-avoidance directive - Cameron negotiates - Comes back with tail between legs - then used a magic destruction spell "Referendum gratuitous" and the rest is history.

@chrislaurenceleo Farage? is that the one who looks like the product of relations between a certain Austrian-born dictator and Kermit the Frog? The alan Patridge of Fash ism?
13
@hastekulvaati9681 Agreed, and yet the cognitive dissonance forced on the British public has given me late-stage terminal sarcasm with complications such as irony and satiristic leanings. I'm not sure I'll ever recover.

@trident6547 Agreed m8, I live in a heritage town Blaenavon so we benefited from EU funding. But did you see who I was replying to>? Not sure he could read that in one sitting...

@johnadams9353 Thank you for that intelligent, erudite, concise and informative comment. I'll be looking forward to hearing more from you in the near future...

@darv66 lol i just remembered a scene from 'The young ones' when seeing your comment. "Look out Cliff" seems appropriate :)

@roban28 Yes, It's so wonderful to see our new King, can't wait to bow down and doff my cap to his Royal Heinous. I'll be forelock tugging all day as I'm so happy to still be a subject of a feudal system and therefore essentially a serf. God save our King and those wonderful upper-class Tories whose philanthropy is unmatched. I only wish I could bow and scrape all the time but I have to work 23 hours a day to pay for my electricity...

@WherEmEweeD It's Blaenavon and I moved here from Cwmbran - Valley of the crows.

@yt.personal.identification I will add that :) That red bus with £350 million reminds me of a scene in 'The Young Ones' where they're all on a bus and Rick shouts "Look out Cliff!"

@mikewilson8513 Thank you!

@Hill_Walker Yes he's a Eurosceptic, but voted against Boris's deal. Still a legend though. Corbyn is also a Eurosceptic.
3
@Hill_Walker To be fair, I think there were several types of Brexit voter, the 90% are the ones who based their decision on the tabloid rhetoric. Then there are 5% Eurosceptics against corporate hegemony and globalisation like Corbyn and Skinner, then maybe 5% like Mogg who did it for their own financial interests but had the loudest voices and representation.

@phillipjolly6287 Thank you!

@iskrajackal9049 Thanks, but if people believe in Unicorns and can't recognise the obvious sarcasm and irony then I'll take their likes to further spread my message. I don't like to pander to those types.

@ianhirst1148 lol did you take long to think of that? As much use as an ashtray on the international space station...

@jonno1335 Those are government figures, are you aware of the Tory's modus operandi? They use any excuse to overcharge the taxpayer.

@jonno1335 lol shhh. I'm not wasting my life trying to talk a trifle into sentience...

@Mark Thomas Yea mate, the cost of not being in the EU greatly outweighs your pride at being an isolationist...

Benefits? lol Brexit was the equivalent of cancelling your direct debits, defaulting on your mortgage, throwing your mobile phone in the bath while it's charging, setting fire to your house, driving your car into the canal and then running off into the woods half-naked screaming "I'm the wild man of Britain, hear me roar!"
