Brexit and EU cost benefit analysis

-

It does seem a pity that D.R. Cooper has found so much about the Brexit deal troublesom­e.

The accusation of disingenuo­us placard waving on the Irish boarder with its smaller neighbour is the latest irksome byproduct of the deal negotiated by David Frost, on behalf of the Big Buffoon.

What a pity that memories of the lies told by the Leave campaign have escaped such scrutiny:

Turkey was about to join the EU and 90million Turkish citizens were on their way to the UK.

The NHS was due to benefit from £350million pounds per week of extra spending.

Top notch trade deals were going to be forged worldwide.

Within a few months, the cost to the UK economy of Brexit will have exceeded the net total payments made to the EU and its predecesso­rs between 1973 and 2018. Those losses will continue.

Surely that’s more important than waving an allegedly bogus banner.
