Re: What!
I've noticed that too Brucie and I haven't stuck around long lately as I never comment on the Brexit thread, i have my own thoughts on it and wouldn't 'argue' over it or even discuss it. Having said that, this forum is a discussion site and if some want to discuss Brexit then they are quite within their right I suppose. Me personally? I find it really boring but what's boring to some is interesting to others.Brexit and Covid is all the news ever seems to report these days too

With the world still at the beginning of a pandemic this is the most important topic?
What will you talk about next year?
It could be argued that the pandemic has been thrust into the public spotlight by the media (BBC) in order for brexit to be pushed to the back in the order of importance. I'm not saying that covid it not important, but eventually covid will have been tamed, but the seismic reaction from leaving the EU will be felt for years to come and will have an effect on every man woman and child, not just in the UK, but possibly Europe and indeed the rest of the world.

Had we all accepted the majority decision it could have been over and done with now, and for good or bad, we would be surviving on our own two feet, making our own laws and judgements and business deals just like Australia does.

If I may add a thought, those who are now bored, with the discussion of Brexit, should give some thought to how "wearing people down by attrition" works.
If you can get people so bored, with a major project, that they can no longer be bothered to read about it, or vote on it, then you can, probably, defeat the project by Attrition!
I'm convinced that attrition is the ploy which has been in use since the referendum (many years ago, now).
Even today, many who sought their freedom are not, actually, sure that they will cross the line, totally, any time soon.
Almost every week, a new road block!
The last thing we should do is stop debating it.
