Father, forgive them (Lievers) they (are too stupid to) know not what they have done.
Yey. An extra £350Million a week for the NHS. Wait, hang on a minute.... :(
Sorry, I'm a bit drunk and don't want to get involved in political controversy. Happy new year folks
£350m not enough anyway, 20000 less beds than 10 years ago and wonder why NHS is under pressure
Firstly, no one (not even the bus) said that - check your facts. Secondly, check how much extra the NHS has received since we left the EU in January and reply here with the figure.
The NHS' days are numbered.
There was a reason the Tories rejected the Labour amendment that the NHS should be protected from being put on any trade deals.

Are you still trying to re run the remainer campaign?
Currently the NHS gets 2.5 billion a week

Hopefully we can now move on from the Brexit debate and deal with the real issue of covid and how we will recover from its effects on the economy and people lives.
You mean the pandemic that was identified as the biggest health risk in Exercise Cygnus in 2016.
Nope....the Brexit you voted for will haunt like a Christmas Carol...
You mean the real issue of the massive overreaction to covid, unjustifiable lockdowns, deliberate destruction of small businesses and mass unemployment, loss of freedom, the new abnormal, the scaremongering, the lies and the deliberate data manipulation to support the narrative. Buckle up because 2021 is going to get much worse.
Shame we’ll be a poorer country and have less to spend on fighting it.
Covid was a short term impact, unfortunately brexit will have a far longer and more permanent negative effect. I am speaking for my business but there are no positives, its just damage limitation, there is not a single advantage to our trade from leaving the EU. Don't fall for the nonsense the BBC keeps printing about tariff free trade, its just not true, its just less tariffs, its going to hurt!
Start by holding Johnson and this government to account over the pandemic fiasco. Still I'm sure you will fall for the spin. Before you criticise look at the facts.
Yes, he's done such a great job with that too. Unfortunately, his dithering and incompetence has cost many lives.
Was that the royal ‘we’.
This completely inept government has put the UK in this awful position.
It will be the many generations to come that will have to struggle with repaying our debts.
Boris and his rich cronies will all have run with their money and retired to warmer climes.

Brexit is only just beginning. So far all we have done is to agree the trade deal necessary to support the Good Friday agreement. Over the coming decades we'll need to work out how to do business with the EU.
Most UK people who voted leave did so because they want to stop jonny foreigner coming here. They cdnt care less about trade. Got what they deserve.

Just like you couldn't care for the Queen's English or grammar.
Terry, your single brain cell is fizzling out.

Absolut clap-trap! I voted to leave because we had been lied to for over 40 years thanks to heath and his cronies who landed us with countless billions of cost due to our membership of the corrupt e.u!
Brilliant response from an uneducated and illiterate poster
Foreign criminals and free leaders more like.
The same people will be crying for those Jonny foreigners back soon enough when all the unpicked fruits and veggies start rotting in the fields...because who else is gonna do these kind of jobs if not them pesky Eastern Europeans? Or will the lazy blacks, browns or entitled white English will finally move their their arses away from a comfy couch?

He even lied when he was challenged about the extra effort that is needed for all the declarations and paperwork.He preferred to call them "changes". Our own little mini-Trump just cannot be trusted on anything...a born liar who got us into this mess for his own benefit.
You call it a mess, its not, but that's an aside, this was all started by D Cameron after years of pressure from want away tories. Not Boris OK....
What mess, we left the EU, 6O% of our export trade was already outside the EU, if it gets to be a pain, then more will be outside, the EU has only itself to blame.
Indeed, he has learned that with a hard core far-right support don't care what he says as long as it fits the nationalist narrative.
View from the EU:
Britain 'taken over by gamblers, liars, clowns and their cheerleaders
God help us....

I feel so free like never before, ever! I just don’t know what to with myself...
Netflix, I guess.

You're not free, you're now in a country ruled by people pandering to the rich elites in the ERG. They will get richer, you will get poorer... Your freedom means nothing.
BritBox is quite good, too!
Happy New Year, all!
Happy New Year, all!
And like all good conmen the politicians responsible will be long gone before the hurtful impact of Brexit is truly felt.
Bet your a real laugh at a party moaning glass is half empty
I wouldnt worry about Brexit. You will have much more to worry about soon enough
Sadly True. Think their pensions should be docked if Brexit proves to have a negative effect on the UK GDP.
Really?
Boris will resign and go live with Dad. He's done the task he was assigned and now leaves. Just like most Prime Ministers, they go and live and work abroad. Make a lot of money, tax free with tax payers paying for their protection. Immune from the hurtful impact of Brexit.
What a waste of time having this HYS, the second one today on Brexit. The BBC seem intent on stirring up rivalry and hatred between Leavers and Remainers - now I suppose they should be referred to as Rejoiners.
Or non-leavers?, or dis-beleavers.
I think there is a good case for all HYSs to stop. There were none for a few days after Christmas..it was so refreshing.
There are two vastly different views on every subject and harmony is gone forever
There are two vastly different views on every subject and harmony is gone forever
So "freedom" is more paperwork, more customs checks, less opportunity to work throughout Europe. Odd definition of Freedom...
For the Scottish ‘Freedom’ is voting in the May election....Brexit has given all the sovereignty arguments needed.....well done England.
That's because you don't understand, or maybe you do and your just spinning either way get some rest trev, relax and enjoy your future....
Shows you have never had to fight for anything... you take freedom for granted... like the new EU - China deal.. how does help the Hong Kong 12.. are you going to protest for their release.. no.. of course not .. keep eating pies..
You planning on working in the EU then?
No, freedom is less EU red tape, removal of non-tariff barriers for the 60% of our exports/imports that DO NOT go to the EU. Wakey, Wakey the EU has been a declining market for the UK for some years & it will decline further.
Freedom. Another word that means different things to different people. Just like Democracy. And Sovereignty for that matter.
I think you've missed the point Trev, it's no coincidence that Brexit was a project of the far right, they ALWAYS meant more rights for THEM to act in an authoritarian manner. Boris' illegal shutdown of democracy last year, his constant lies, his insistence that his staff can break the law but no one else can are all the evidence anyone should need he's a dictator in the making, yet here we are.
Rubbish. If you are good enough to work in the EU, you apply for a work visa. Simples.
AS I SAID IF YOU DO NOT LIKE IT ,,, YOU ARE NOT CHAINED ,TO THIS COUNTRY,, YOU ARE FREE TO LEAVE? YOUR CHOICE BUT PLEASE KEP IT TO YOURSELF WHICHEVER WAY,, MOST OF THE OEOPLE DO NOT WANT THIS CONSTANT RUNNING DOWN BRITAIN!!
You don’t understand the point of Mr Johnson. His aim is purely to support his chums, cronies and hangers-on in their quests to make ever more money and launder it into tax havens and shady deals. They don’t even bother to conceal their activities in brown paper envelopes as back in the days of Hamilton - they know their government will always protect them from the people.
Boris's dad has applied for French citizenship,i will rest my case and make no further comment.

Someone should check that Boris actually qualifies as a British citizen.
Unless he renounces his UK citizenship, it's a meaningless PR stunt...
Good, because your inane lies are pathetic
Whatever ! . Happy New Year misery .
Hopefully his son Boris will follow very soon please .....although not sure that he will pass the intelligence and economic tests for access.
Pity he didn't do it before the bumbling oaf was born, then we wouldn't have been saddled with it.
Why? Stanley Johnson campaigned to remain in the EU.
Unlike most people on these boards the Johnsons appear to have been brought up to think for themselves and not just spout the bitter vitriol of their parents.

Let him live there then, bet he doesn't as he has broken almost every rule in the UK isolation rule with impunity.
And if Boris's Dad gets French citizenship, maybe Boris can too, once he has a French dad .... How about that for a new but unforeseen Brexit-bonus export opportunity
His Mum was born in France to a French Mum so has a big affinity. No story there sad person
You could too if you don't like it here. No one will stop you this side of the Channel.
You should do the same and move.
Are you, or do you feel, responsible for all the actions of your family members ?
I hope they refuse....

If you don't like it here in the UK,you can follow him.Good Riddance.
What’s your case? He says he has always thought himself as French due his parent ( mother) so he has applied for French citizenship. Remoaners will never give it up will they
Why would ANYBODY want to be a part of an anti-democratic body like the EU! Suck it up Remainers. YOU LOST! Your EU chums are HISTORY! Welcome to the NEW WORLD without EU socialism!
Says it all, of course not long before DCs announcement of a referendum. Bunter Boris was all in favour of the EU. Definately an Eton Mess

Some people were actually convinced that it was impossible for the UK to leave the EU. This was the sole reason for them not to vote leave.
I really do feel for these individuals. We must rally round and see that they’re ok, and as a matter of urgency.
I just hope it’s not too late...

He is right though
I suspect that the real problem Isn't that the glass is half-empty but that it's bone dry. When Johnson said everything was 'oven ready', what he meant was, 'we're all stuffed'.
you're
Brexit painted as the usual party by people without much between their ears
To follow on your analogy, our glass wouldn't be half empty if it weren't for idiots falling for slogans by said conmen.
With 2.5 hours to go before we leave the EU its pointless re-running old arguments.
No matter what your views are or how you voted, we all have to bear the consequences, good or bad.

Now Brexiteers want to move on from Brexit, i.e. Brexiteers are running for cover.
Quite, but it's the crowing of the amoral Johnson about his perceived Churchillian triumph that grates. He's bumbled and lied his way through his PM-ship and claims credit for the work of others in this process. I voted to leave, but to have this oaf parading around as my leader makes me ashamed to be British.
Let's not remember who said running the Titanic into the iceberg was a good idea...
The point is we can take responsibility for our own decisions.
we left the EU a year ago
It was also pointless coming online to state an obvious truism that helps absolutely no-one. If you hold an opinion, hold an opinion. It doesn't just magically disappear at the stroke of New Year; nor do the consequences, whatever they might be, suddenly turn into fluffy rainbows just because we all gave each other a hug and pretended to agree with each other.
A good time to work out which leave voter gets it first
Thats right gammon we took back so much control we leave at 11 pm not midnight
Enjoy your blue passport, you cant go anywhere with it you will soon need it to go to scotland
Enjoy your blue passport, you cant go anywhere with it you will soon need it to go to scotland
Because not even half the voting population voted for it. It is a terrible miscarriage of our Democracy. 29 million were told that they have no say. Malta reran their Referendum when they had exactly the same outcome in 1992. Not the Tories though. Millions will now become poorer through no fault of their own.
I disagree. If you are sold a new car that stops working a year later then you don't bear the consequences. This is not a game but the futures of other generations. Hopefully enough of the younger generation will understand the benefits of freedom of movement and how world trade actually works and want to do something about it. Not very British? Claptrap.
Does not mean we have to be hypocrites, it was wrong in 2016, it is wrong now, and will still be wrong in the future!
It would be helpful if one person could think of one good consequence of Brexit. So far, all the politicians seem to be able to come up with is that it is now easier to blame Europe for stuff than when we were actually in Europe. Brexit might be good for a small group of political elite but it's bad news for everyone else.
I've noticed that nobody is mentioning the divorce bill of £40 billion we also have to pay; anyone else think we've been sold a pup?
Well that is a one off for existing contractual agreements
Do you think we should break the law?
But on the other hand we will no longer be paying £15bn EVERY SINGLE YEAR to bail-out the EU

Take it out of all Leave voters incomes. Although most will be pension and unemployment benefits though.

I think you will find that we all lost, except of course for those in the ERG who will be raking it in
True, if the EU tourist trade doesn't open up in the next 6 months , the EZ and Southern Europe is done for, lucky we got out in time.

Well, everybody has had a good vent about BREXIT. It's now time to turn to free speech, and the fact that the BBC moderators take down posts they don't like, or get the odd complaint about. Democracy is democracy, and it's taken a very long four years for it to actually work in the UK. When do we get free speech back, or is political correctness here forever?

Read Kuenssberg above and it's her usual waffle, could be good but could be troublesome with her usual red spin, about time our BBC acted as a responsible news reporter or are they just an electronic version of gutter press with over inflated egos and salaries.
Kuenssberg a "red"!!?? That's the biggest laugh I've had in days and shows how far right some of you lot have gone. Tragic.
She is the worst reporter on TV, shes asks some real dumb questions, particularly during the first lock down, question after question was pointless and wasted. Her favourite was "when is the lockdown going to end ?" no one knew the answer to that, yet she kept on asking.
So a qualified journalist deals with facts and simply because some of the opinions conflict with your Boris loving stance it's wrong. Grow up and accept not everyone thinks this liar is perfect.
"are they just an electronic version of gutter press with over inflated egos and salaries?" No, that's the Murdoch press/Fox News.

The UK joined the EEC in 1973. In the same football season Carlisle Utd were promoted to the 1st Division. Lets hope that the UK is able to do better than Carlisle Utd were when trying to play with 'the big boys'.

We are happy to be lied to and controlled by a Right-wing media and their stooges in government.
I am often no longer proud to be British, I am often apologetic when visiting abroad.

I've noticed that nobody is mentioning the divorce bill of £40 billion we also have to pay; anyone else think we've been sold a pup?
Hopefully we can now move on from the Brexit debate and deal with the real issue of covid and how we will recover from its effects on the economy and people lives.
Well, it looks like the laughable lies of the Leavers was equally matched by the ridiculous threats of the Remainers. Instead of marching into each others countries, we have to ask first. That sounds reasonable to me. We are also insulated from future governments gradually signing up to increasing EU Federalism.
If we're lucky it will be fiscally neutral, but a disaster ? Really ? Come on.

It already has been a disaster. Billions in investments where shelved or cancelled because the Tories couldn't make their minds up, or because they were going ahead with any form of Brexit. The pound on the stock exchange is the same one in your pocket, and when it loses value, so do your savings and paycheck.
This HYS is full up with the usual spiteful left wing trash, I see!!
Well, to be fair? We're generally not enamoured of dim right-wing types at the moment. You have after all evicted us from a mansion into a shed in the garden and set it on fire...
I think you'll find the extreme left and the extreme right both supported Brexit.
And idiots who can't spot a lying clown.
A lot of Righties will be worse off. Don't forget 50% of our food comes from EU so they will want a contribution towards CAP. US? America first,
To be a remainer does not make one left wing. Johnson did all of this for his own political future; meanwhile his Dad wants out. I wish I could too. By the middle of next year, it will be like the 1930s here.
Except Boris was standing in front of a bus which says "We send the EU £350 million a week, let's fund our NHS instead, Vote Leave." -- Check YOUR facts.
Anybody can give away money - A fool and his money are easily parted. I get that you wanted Brexit Andrew and you'll own it for all the missed opportunities of my children and their children - like all who voted for brexit , you know what you were voting for and that's why i blame you and your like.
Andrew
Firstly, no one (not even the bus) said that - check your facts. Secondly, check how much extra the NHS has received since we left the EU in January and reply here with the figure
--
First, every brexiter - including the bus - said that. You're a liar
Second, the NHS has received since January less than an extra £100 M more a week. That's about £250 M less than promised. You were saying?

Half truths. Ok, it wasn't a week but it was £350m.
We were still paying into the EU since January, and a little thing called the pandemic has happened since then.
There are so many sources for how much poorer we will be due to Brexit, but Brexiteers are not good with figures so I can't be arsed as I am watching a film

Just google ‘Boris Johnson 350 nhs’ and then come back and repeat your denial/lie about the bus...
There’s 48% of the people who voted who will be expecting the first weekly cheque next Friday!!

Laura Kuenssburg and the BBC can now at last stop blasting out ant brexit propaganda, and move to Brussels too spread the word further through Europe. U k mission failed.
How dare she state facts.
Despite the deal, the increase in paperwork and bureaucracy is huge for some businesses. I lead a Supply Chain team and we will announce job losses in the New Year as we move our operations to the EU. That is a direct result of Brexit as it makes us less competitive being in the UK. Call us Remoaners, the reality is more job losses. Hope the job losses are worth it.
Bye bye.
Well, that's an optimistic outlook before it's even started. Let us know after you've moved everything the EU, and tell us how it's gone.
Prime Minister who only does off the cuff bluster like the interview with Laura K yesterday. As soon as he is asked about numbers or factual stuff he just disintegrates. If only he’d been up against someone other than Corbyn we might not have been saddled with this liability.
The majority believed Boris despite his previous history.
Democracy then had its way.
Boris's dad applies for French citizenship.
The referendum's minority is then expected to face the future without comment.
Oh well, here comes the promised land!

I don't think he'll get his citizenship , Arch Brexiteer Nigel , lord, sir, esteemed , whatever , Lawson tried and was refused, quite amusing really
It's my English, not some unelected relic from the middle ages. Still, that's where the likes of Johnson and Rees-Mogg are taking us, so one day, you may be correct.

The freedom to work, study, live, retire in 27 countries ended for nearly 70 million people and their children and probably their grandchildren. What a travesty.
If the leave campaign had been accurate and fair with their claims people who voted remain wouldn't feel so wronged and angry at their European citizenship being taken away. We're not just going to shut up now we've left.

Why don’t you move to one of the 27 ?
You can still go, just have to fill a form out

Most voters had already made up their minds before campaigning had started.
Diddums. A bit more paperwork. Wow. Lives wrecked, I think not.
Then come back for the NHS.
You've literally been told to own your win for years, so start doing so?
Never in the field of British history has so much been lost for so many by so few.
The worst PM in British history.

Just think, Churchill fought for Europe to have its freedom. Now Bojo is taking away freedoms from the Brits. How Bojo manages to fool so many people is deeply worrying.
f Bozo rates "sovereignty" so highly.
1. Will he support Scotland in a referendum on their sovereignty?
2. Will the Scottish people have the balls to vote in favour of it this time?
3. If they do, will Wales and NI follow Scotland's lead?
Interesting decade ahead.

The worst PM in UK history must be Tony B(liar) who led us into an Iraq war based on lies and who signed the Lisbon Treaty, giving the EU even more powers than they already had. Good that we're out now.
Churchill spoke of wishing for a "united nations of Europe" and fought to defeat nationalism. He must be doing about 2,000 RPM in his grave.
The only thing the UK's got going for it is if we stick magnets to Churchill's corpse maybe we can generate electricity.

I’m not totally disagreeing with you but what exactly do you mean? What have so many people lost?
Corbyn would have been the worst pm in world history, not just British
Never before, in the history of human cooperation, so few, have convinced so many, that cooperation with others is bad.
He's trying to say now that we had a covid vaccine because of Brexit.
Yes, the same Brexit that decided that the science industry were just a bunch of academic elite remoaners who did nothing for the country, and we'd be better off without them. The same UK science industry who had been in a recruitment freeze since 2016 and still have no idea if they'll be able to operate in the EU market.

Agree and he is now going to mess up the vaccine by not following the manufacturers' advice.
When it comes to the vote, many indies might decide to follow the money.
The opposite is true , the SNP hates leaving Unions.. bad for economy, culture, etc., every argument against Brexit will be used against Sexit.. well doneSNP nationalists
It's true. The biggest problem pro-unionists have now whenever they try to counter an argument against Scot separatists is that they supported the same argument during Brexit. So not only do they fail, they lose face as massive hypocrites.
Currently the best argument they have is Scotland's economic prospects. But even then Brexiteers kept telling us that freedom was more important than money...

Scotland will get no referendum for at least another 25 years. Dream on LOSER
The concerns and wishes of Scotland have been ignored by both Boris and Theresa. If they choose to go it would be sad but I would understand why.
You're nae too bright, are you?
You do know it was a Scottish king that became king of England and joined the crown's, creating Great Britain?
Maybe England should be asking us for recompense?
Eejit!

Yes considering they were told last referendum that if they voted to leave the UK then they could not belong to the EU.. I know it was a consideration to many.
Can you imagine the horrendous negotiations on Scexit! It would be more of a divorce than Brexit. And the rest of the U.K. could just adopt the EU line on protecting the single U.K. market / level playing field, customers checks etc etc. Luckily s had a once in a generation vote already!
Does Johnson realise that his chosen image - the backdrop of huge massed flags, moronic slogans, and arms waving frenetically - resembles more a fascist dicatator from the 1930s - if a very scruffy one - than the Prime Minister of a modern democratic state?
Read Kuenssberg above and it's her usual waffle, could be good but could be troublesome with her usual red spin, about time our BBC acted as a responsible news reporter or are they just an electronic version of gutter press with over inflated egos and salaries.
I wonder if a certain footballer will come to realise that the law enforced £160 a year TV Tax also contributes to child poverty. And if he does I wonder if the BBC will create another special award for him.

1. You think his Turkish amcestory makes him unsuitable to be PM?
2. I don't believe you actually have to be British to be PM (Boris is a dual national), as you don't have to be British to be an MP.
I suggested you take your of orant bile elsewhere.

I wonder if 2021 will see more people see Johnson for what he is. A corrupt serial liar. The man who said the country should never leave the single market, the man who still lies about frictionless trade, the man who lied about Turkey joining the EU, lied about £350 mill a week, lied about Erasmus being ditched . I honestly pity those who can't see through him, Jesus,, how much proof do you need.
He may have won the last election because he told less lies than the others!
Too many idiots in this country brainwashed by the Murdoch press who can't think for themselves. If they told them to go and jump off a cliff they'll do it.
All politicians put stuff in their manifestos they know they will never be able to carry out after an election
Aspirational? Looks and smells like lying. Been going on since time immemorial.

He just wants to live in France as a native rather than an immigrant on a visa. Visa immigrants are treated like trash, and only English exceptionalism seems to prevent most Brexiteers from realising they'll be treated the same over there.
What worried me more are high profile Brexiteers moving their bank accounts and companies out of the UK on the quiet.

And like all good conmen the politicians responsible will be long gone before the hurtful impact of Brexit is truly felt.
