British people increasingly recognise Brexit is a mistake – so why the silence? (inews.co.uk)

“Those voters do not want to have a conversation about Brexit,” said Joshua Simons, the director of Labour Together, a think-tank close to Labour leadership. How dare they prioritise one group of voters over all others?

Ellwood thinks that the election will bring release and hope: “I can see all parties embracing the idea of rejoining the single market… I put money on it that it happens in the next five years.” After so many years of Brexit thought compliance, will this country be in a fit state to take such big steps? I don’t think so.

I’m so sick of hearing about brexit!

The only reason brexit is a failure is if you believed the government that things would be better! I’m going to bet the government is loving all the infighting of brexit this, brexit that and blaming voters and not the government for the mess!

If the government wanted brexit to work, they would’ve made it work! Stop blaming voters/society for the mistakes of governments!

Sadly people are clearly being brainwashed to just do as there told and not look at what the government does but its ok, because they will definitely not allow rich idiots to abuse AI and robots to decimate everyones job so people all starve or live a life of misery! 🙄🤦‍♂️😎

In your opinion, in what way could this have been made to work, if the government had done everything right?

I'm in the EU but not UK, and I can't see any possible way that Brexit could have been overall better for England no matter what the government did.

I mean they could have screwed up a little less, but it was never gonna work like they promised.

So what exactly should a community titled /c/brexit talk about if not brexit?
