A Little BREXIT Chat

 I read a social media comment by a non-Brit this week....observing that maybe the best thing to ever happen to the EU...was BREXIT occurring, and sliding the UK out before the 'big-mess' occurred (meaning probably a civil war).

I sat and pondered upon the idea.

The basic idea of BREXIT was that things would improve.....migration could finally be controlled....the UK could develop it's own personal rights.  On just about every single angle....BREXIT failed.  You could outline this....over two-dozen reasons for the failure....it doesn't matter.

Travel and tourism in the UK....made up around 9-percent of the GDP....before Covid.

I would imagine hundreds of thousands of non-Brit tourists....planning trips for the fall and winter  of 2024...plus all of 2025.....are sitting there and pondering....is it really safe in the UK?  Are there NO-GO zones?  Are the police monitoring your social media while visiting the UK....possibly arresting you?

I don't blame any particular group.  

From a EU prospective?  To be honest, I don't see nothing correcting itself and matters just getting worse as each year goes by.  

So yeah....maybe BREXIT was a fantastic idea.....timed just right, and giving everyone a brief idea of poor planning having consequences.
