History Shows Blair Was 💯 Right On Brexit & Farage!

Thanks to the Tories and #Brexit, #Britain is once again the poor man of Europe.

The ­economy is £140bn worse off as a consequence of Brexit. Our trade is about 15% lower than if we had never left. Far from having a featherbed of extra cash, Britain sinks deeper into poverty with every day in Brexitland.

Blair has been consistently right about Brexit all the way through the last 8 years and Farage continues to harness populism to distract people from looking at reality.

Hopefully Farage will be history he has done so much damage to the UK, similar to what Trump has done here in the USA, looking forward to the UK rejoining the EU and to finally close the chapter on Farage and Trump when Kamala Harris is hopefully elected! Glad you elected Labour, now there’s hope for the UK rejoining the EU! Blair was 💯 right!

Brexit is beneficial as an experiment - it shows the value of the EU and how much we should appreciate what we have. Thank you Brexiteers! Greetings from the happy, peaceful, and prosperous EU!

I'm Dutch and i would like to say i'd be happy to have you guys back in. The EU is far from perfect but let's fight together to change it for the better. 🤗

[sarahbarrett]

That’s because, whether you like Blair or not, he actually has a huge knowledge of how the EU works.

I am Swede currently living and working in Denmark due to finding my wife here. Before Brexit I would spend thousands of pounds each year buying electronics, supplements, foods and spices, board games etc from the UK. Now I have to pay import fees and extra postal charges after Brexit. I couldn't believe it when Brexit happened. The British empire became great through trade, so I could not believe that a few well-spoken populist neo cons could dupe a people whose economy is based on trade and international economical services would leave the biggest free trade ø zone in the world in the world, where it had negotiated the sweetest deal of any member state. Now the money I spent on UK products goes to Germany, since they cannot compete price wise. It is sad.

Britain will have to change drastically to be allowed to apply for membership again, but I hope we do.
Whenever Farage heads for America again, I really hope he never comes back.

UK: Hey EU! Do you bet that I can shoot myself in the right foot?
EU: What? Why would you do that?
UK: Because I want to show you that I can do whatever I want, to show you that I'm independent!
BANG (BREXIT)
8 years after
EU: Hey UK! Is that you behind?
UK: It's your fault that I'm behind!
I'm crippled because of You!!

I'm half-English, half-French. I'm a former reporter on Tory-supporting tabloid newspapers. I was twice interviewed for the job of Communications Director for Vote Leave.
Let me assure you, Tory tabloid owners and the handful of individuals who instigated Brexit haven't the slightest interest in Britain's future. Their only interest is in themselves.

Brexit being a failure was a no-brainer for everyone except those sitting in parts of UK.

[davesy]

Blair/Brown fecked up on a few issues. Cameron/May/Johnson/Truss and Sunak fucked up on everything.

[snowman]

Not just Tony Blair, Michael Heseltine, Ken Clarke, John Major, Mark Carney, indeed anyone with at least half a brain!

I left the UK 30 years ago, now living in Ireland, although we maybe not perfect, but what I see we are far better off than the British
Just the other day I was speaking to my sister, living in Essex and Sadly she is a Farage voter

[NickAskew]

From my position within the EU, I look at the UK and wonder what it is doing to itself. I am sure we can all agree that the right wing in the UK seems deluded and determined to scupper the UK, but I see too that the left wing are also unwilling to address the elephant in the room. When Labour comes to power, they are suddenly going to find themselves in a damaged economy with a right wing press that will blame them for everything. To me it is as clear as daylight that the Labour party need to talk about the damage brexit has inflicted on the UK.

18:14 As a left-leaning German, I have to say that I have always blamed Jeremy Corbyn most for Brexit. His tacit agreement with the Brexiteers left the British without a strong voice for remaining in the EU. All the Brexit lies could so easily have been countered with facts and positive emotion towards the EU, but through Corbyn's complicit inaction, the British people were almost betrayed more by the Labor Party than by the stupid Tories.

[BlissLovePeace]

Greetings from Germany. I was really sorry that the UK had decided to leave the EU. I have followed the debate long before the referendum, and the very morning right after the referendum I wrote my very first online comment on a British Newspaper (The Telegraph): "You geniuses just started a trade war with an 800 pound gorilla." ... It was absolutely clear to me that this decision would have major negative implications for both parties, but certainly the UK being the much weaker party was going to be battered to pieces in the process, and so it was, both economically as well as politically and not even talking about what it did to society as such.
In hindsight, given the problems we have now in the world, we should remember, that we (EU member states) and the UK are not enemies! We share fundamental values and culture and we should realign to strengthen ourselves. The threats do not come from Europe, I hope that much is clear meanwhile!

Two groups of people voted remain: the young and the intelligent.

[garyarnold]

You're doing a great job in exposing Brexit. Blair is right, choosing to walk away from the biggest market on our doorstep should never have been an issue of debate.

Believe this or not my father was 92 years old when he died. He was a spokes man for the Conservative Party.
And I am a Labour party supporter.
My father said the best place for the UK was in the EU.
He disagreed with Brexit and he told me it would an impact on the country.
The Tories from 2010 to 2013 created 100 billioners in the UK.
David and George defended the dodgy banks in Brussels.
The bad investment they attracted to divert us from dipper recession caused an explosion in high price house rentals and utility bills.
Domestic utility energy should have been renationalised back into public ownership.
Labour had some good ideas.
Look at our country now.
Homelessness quad tripled.
Divorce quad tripled.
Teenage stabbing at an unprecedented high.
Please kick out the Tories and their propaganda media come July 4th. It beggars belief what has happened to the UK.
No they are using immigration as a tool to vote Tory a shameless Party deciding the country, when you should be uniting the country.

Nigel, promising free money, ought to have been the reddest of red flags to anyone.

When Tony Blair was in power, the UK was the 4th largest economy in the world, had a bespoke membership of the EU as the second largest European economy and London being effectively the financial capital of the World. They also sat in the G8, was a member of a strong NATO, a primary member of the Commonwealth and enjoyed a ‘special relationship’ with the USA. While not being a superpower, they were one of the richest and most influential countries in the world.

Now? They have removed themselves from the EU, collapsing public services and have a weak economy in general. They are, at best, around the 6th largest economy in the world and falling as other nations like China and India rise. NATO is under existential threat, the Commonwealth is no longer relevant to many countries seeking to be Republics and the relationship with the US is also rocky. The UK decline in just 20 years is astounding. 

Blair will always be tarnished by his policies on Iraq, but say it quietly, he was also the last true statesmen who sat in the UKs Prime Ministerial office.
