UK TREND : Brexit continues to fail

23 February 2023

The ongoing Brexit debate has caused animosity between the UK and the EU for many years. It all started with a referendum in 2016, in which 52% of British citizens decided to leave the EU. Since then, Brexit has suffered a number of setbacks, including negative effects on the economy and harm to the UK’s reputation abroad. The hashtag #Brexit has failed has been top of the trend on Twitter for the past few days, and people have been using it along with the hashtag #get Brexit undone because the public has grown too frustrated with its failure. They are requesting that the government act to address the situation.

One twitter user shared an image of the empty shelves of fruits and vegetables at ASDA along with an image of sign that states “ Sorry for the limited choice right now. Because of David Cameron’s ill-advised opinion poll”. He captioned it “this says it all #Brexit has failed”.

Other users were sharing images and video of grocery stores around Europe ( particularly of the fruit and vegetables isles) to show how full they are, as the “ UK press has been claiming that the fruit and vegetable shortage in the UK is a Europe wide problem due to bad weather”. Yet as the footage posted demonstrated, the issue is clearly due to Brexit.

Priest Fr Paul posted on twitter as a reminder of life before Brexit to demonstrate how badly #Brexit has failed. He said, “ remember food on supermarket shelves the ability to live, work, study and travel without restriction across Europe, heating bills that didn’t bankrupt you, free trade with the biggest bloc in the world, a powerful seat at the European table ….”.

Remember food on supermarket shelves, the ability to live, work, study and travel without restriction across Europe, heating bills that didn't bankrupt you, free trade with the biggest bloc in the world, a powerful seat at the European table…#BrexitHasFailed

One individual shared the front page of the Daily Mail with the headline “ Secret plot to unravel Brexit”. Along with the caption “ Brexit has failed miserably. This debate about Brexit should have been had long before the Brexit vote. The fact that it’s being had now almost 7 years after the Brexit vote demonstrates how ill-informed and misinformed the British people were at the time.

So, Brexit has failed miserably.
This debate about Brexit should have been had long before the Brexit vote.
