Oh fuck off.
The economic damage Brexit has caused is undeniable - even Brexiteers are now admitting it.

We Brexiteers must acknowledge the costs of leaving Europe
Breaking free from the EU has undoubtedly deepened the UK’s malaise, and it’s no use denying it

Album Review: No Violet- Self Titled - Joyzine
Bristol-based four-piece No Violet have unleashed their long-awaited self-titled debut album, and it’s every bit as dark, dirty, and deliciously unhinged as their reputation suggests.

Incredible amateurishness
Reform UK Party Ltd spent £700,000 on a 2-page spread — one page being just an image of Farage and the other a letter, meaning he spent £350,000 on pictures of himself.
The average UK house price is £272,000.
Also, the ‘full English’ is badly photoshopped on — it's tiny!

Last revamped in 2018 with £1.8 million of EU development money and another £1 million in business development cash.
Original development also received significant EU funding.
Farage, by contrast, will give Llandudno nothing but hot air and lies.
