In November 2022, I wrote a piece on Brexit and its extraordinary impact on the lives of millions of Brits.

To those who understood the spirit in which it was written, they readily recognized the motives of the author and to those who didn’t, it worked an absolute treat.

Given the degree to which the landscape has become barely recognisable, it is worth revisiting the basis of the article to ask if Brexit has been a spectacular success.

And I would love to read your thoughts on the subject:

If all you read were the naysayers on this platform and elsewhere, you would believe that Britain is the worst place in the developed world right now; that energy costs have risen inexorably, supermarket shelves are empty, and businesses are shutting on a daily basis.

But I want to let you know that these things aren’t true. It’s all a complete fabrication; a great lie.

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is the best place to be in the world right now.

We campaigned to leave the European Union because we wanted our sovereignty back. We wanted a return to the good old days when rule Britannia wasn’t some poxy song that some idiots sang, but what our governing policy was really all about.
