Ah - right. Yet another Brexiteer being happy with a leap into the dark
over something so inconsequential as jam jars. Perhaps it was the bent
bananas which swayed you?

Most Brexiters are aware that the classification of bananas is also
inconsequential. It doesn't make the selling of 'wonky' bananas illegal
either.

You are missing the point of why people voted for Brexit. Typical for a
Remoaner.

If only. When I ask for some concrete reasons for leaving the EU all I get
is esoteric things like sovereignty, taking back control, and the wild
hopes we'll be able to do far better deals around the world.

You seem to forget the real reasons such as a shortage of housing,
stagnation of wages being propped up by the minimum wage and a lack of
infrastructure to match the level of immigration.

And non of those much to do with the EU. Immigration from outside the EU
has never been tightly controlled either.

And it is nothing to do with the EU how many houses we build, what wages
are paid, and what infrastructure is provided. Just very convenient to
blame the EU, when the fault lies with the UK government.

Whilst I agree it is the largely the fault of 3 sets of governments,
there was no other solution. None of the governments has put in place
policies to cope with change.

I do take issue with wages. They have stagnated due to immigration. You
can deny this as much as you like, but only now are businesses
complaining of potential shortages, which is a recipe for increased
wages in the future.

Things are moving in the right direction for those who work. For those
who don't, well, they make little contribution to the nation's wealth.
