I get really bored with that plonker Farage always banging on about the imaginary Brexit of his dreams.
17.4 million-a small majority-voted to leave. They voted for "Britain" (which conveniently forgot that NI was not in Britain) to leave the EU.
What they most definitely did not do was give any mandate whatsoever as to exactly how we left, or on what terms.
To quote that idiot from the time, "Leave Means Leave". That is all it means. And to pretend otherwise, and for the constant claim that we have not got a "real" Brexit (whatever that is supposed to mean) is just plain wrong. We have "the Brexit we voted for"...

I couldnt agree more.
Apparently there is a bigger than ever majority that believe that it was a mistake. Many people believe it has been a disaster.
His solution to this is to try to make people believe that it is only a disaster because we got the wrong Brexit.
When in reality the choice was to Leave or Remain.
We Left, and this is what we have got.
A softer Brexit that would have caused less damage to our economy, was not a real Brexit.
I just hope that Mr Starmer can get immigration, and particularly the small boats under control, which I hope will put a huge dent in his popularity, and he will be forced to shut the f... up.
The graph within your article at 07:57 was particularly illuminating.
Between 2012 and 2020, net migration to the UK was almost always between 100,000 and 200,000, except for 1 year (2016) when it was 300,000. Net migration in the years 2022-24 was 2 million
A massive increase. Nothing to do with "illegal" migration, which remained largely constant. Nothing to do with Brexit. Everything to do with a 3 year period where May and (particularly) Johnson waved hundreds of thousands of "study" visas, together with masses of "dependants" which had never happened before.

The Leave voting xenophobes must be sick.
And before anyone picks me up on this, I do know that every Leave voter was not xenophobic, but all our xenophobes voted Leave.
