We talk about Brexit as a past event.
But for millions, it’s a present-tense system that still says no every single day.

No one voted to lose time with family, access to healthcare, or the right to live normally across borders.
Yet that’s exactly what Brexit took — and we’re told to be grateful.

So, Trump sues the BBC for $5Bn and puts the technology deal with the UK on hold until the US gets more concessions.
Anyone still deluding themselves about that “special relationship”? No. Just the tedious parade of simpering MAGA dickheads - led, of course, by the traitorous Farage.

5 reasons European Freedom of Movement is good for workers:
#1 it separates permission to reside from jobs. Workers are not held to ransom by unscrupulous employers in guest worker or indentured labour scenarios.
