Reliving the referendum debate.
Problems caused by Covid or Brexit ?
Problems caused by Putin or Brexit ?

We are never going to agree on the above so why bother, it is history, it has been done, you know what I think about it, and I know what you think about it.

Immigration at the moment is quite high, lots of people are emigrating here from none EU countries, because there are opportunities to be had in this country, immigration is running at a higher rate now, than what it was just before Brexit, but the difference is that the people coming here to work, must have the correct documentation, and to get that documentation, they have to apply for it whilst still resident in their own country, and they must have been accepted, and have that correct documentation before they can travel here.

That is controlled immigration, and we need it, and not to be confused with the illegal immigrants coming across the channel in boats.

As regards Northern Ireland, is the thing working, and the only trouble is that the Unionists just don't like it, for sectarian reasons.

It is nearly 15 months since we were fully out of the EU, after the year long transition period, so without Covid or Putin, if those two things had not occurred, I think that 15 months, or if you like 27 months, is just not long enough to say whether Brexit has been to the benefit of this country, or it has been to the detriment of this country.
