Brexit Good News Stories Coming Soon
15 Answers
Following complaints of Brexit bias within Private Eye, a letter published in the current issue includes the following:-
‘I would welcome those writing to complain of your biased coverage to name a single advantage, even a marginal one that has materialised since January. Maybe there’s been one; I probably just missed it while I was trying to find the import tariff codes for each of the thousands of items we now import from the EU.’
The letter goes on to detail further grief the writer has suffered (both professionally and personally) as a result of Brexit.
Private Eye sells nearly ¼ of a million copies, if only 1.5 people read each printed magazine, I would estimate that well over 100,000 Brexit supporters will read the above letter.
Expect the next issue of PE to contain a plethora of reader’s letters listing the marginal (and not so marginal) advantages of Brexit.
To avoid disappointment, place an advance order for a copy at your local news agents.

Some might say its the same list as the disadvantages of being tied to the EU
Some might say the advantage is its what the majority wanted so at least those people (plus remainers who are realists and want us to succeed not fail) will try to make it work

gulliver is unfortunately correct - Britain is behind Spain, Denmark, Norway, France, Italy, Ireland and others in the proportion of population fully inoculated (72% for Britain), despite the initial advantage of having a vaccine made at home. It's only just ahead of Sweden, whose initial laissez-faire approach to social distancing led to others predicting disaster.
Quite what's gone wrong since the quick start, I don't know - maybe there are more anti-vaxxers here than elsewhere, maybe they've been slower to treat kids.

It'll take a while. We are still enmeshed in all these EU regulations, which will take time to unpick. E.G. Farmers, who cared about their stock, used to be able to slaughter them - so saving the need for slaughterhouse butchers (imported). There are lots and lots of other tiny frustrations brought about by all these laws. Even when I lived in France a lot of fonctionneres spent most of their time finding ways around constricting laws to find a common-sense solution for people. Yes, I can give an exact example if anyone wants me to.
Obviously a good thing was our freedom regarding vaccinations.
