Being taunted in long queues was the number one desire on the stump

That and being poorer

And a fix to migration

Ah so we don't have to wait for the afterlife to see any benefits after all.

It's disingenuous to suggest there have not been benefits. Keir Starmer mentioned a couple himself the other day.

Those who voted to leave can hardly be blamed for government failure to harness the freedoms we could enjoy, nor for the awful approach to negotiations and the eventual deal with the EU. The impending car crash I see with local government reorganisation illustrates how useless the State is in microcosm. At least the NHS is in safe hands.

It’s disingenuous to acknowledge it’s been anything other than our greatest ever political disaster

Do you invent an argument that shoots yourself in both feet deliberately?

As of 3 July 2025 us national debt is $36.2 trillion, which suggests that fucking off unilaterally hasn't worked out so well

If I was American in the same income decile as I am over here I think I'd take that quality of life over the one I have here absolutely any day of the week. Chlorinated chicken and all.

I have Aunts and cousins in a few states. They do have a good lifestyle. I like visiting. I know you like it but it ay for me. Are you trying to go permanently? My plan is to have a small UK base and live 11 months of the year somewhere warm, likely just various places in Europe though. But plans are often altered by what your kids do.

My lad has only one objective re: university and that's to have a year abroad in the US. I don't think he gives that much of a fugg about which one he starts off with in the UK. And having visited there a couple of times in my early to mid-twenties, prior to meeting the missus, an English accent can open many a door for you, some very pleasant indeed.
