Not yet seeing great benefits of Brexit

A small majority (4 per cent) of misinformed voters are now suffering together with the ones who voted remain

NOW that Boris Johnson will soon be consigned to history in British politics, some will hail his achievements and the biggest legacy he is said to have achieved – Brexit, gaining independence from the EU and other great benefits.

I, as a pensioner, do not see these great benefits. What I see is a shortage of labour in all sectors of industry, agriculture, care work, hospitals etc. All these are the result of foreign workers not returning to the UK and this is the direct result of Brexit.

The costs of produce imported from the EU are going up and so is the cost of living in general. However, rising energy and fuel bills are not necessarily the cause of Brexit, this is a nations-wide problem and many factors are involved.

But another big mistake Boris Johnson made was to sign the Northen Ireland protocol without reading the small print. This has created all sorts of problems, and now he is trying to get out of it by unilaterally signing legilations.

In conclusion, all these “big advantages” of Brexit – well, we are all worse off for it and it is no use pretending otherwise. A small majority (4 per cent) of misinformed voters are now suffering together with the ones who voted remain.

At the moment Scotland wants independence from England as the Scottish did not vote to leave the EU, and want to rejoin the Bloc.

Only time will tell if we will be better off out of Europe.
