Are You Prosperring Mightily Yet?
Johnson's Brexit promise: The UK will "prosper mightily".

If the UK was prospering mightily people would be happy, well-fed, and flushed with success and enough cash. Under those circumstances, most people do not care a jot for what is happening in Westminster, not even the sleaze.
But the post-pandemic recovery of the UK is anything other than Prosper Mightily when compared to the majority of the rest of the EU. Only rich Tories and their chums have Prospered Mightily.
The UK, was stitched up, not by the EU but by this government., The smoke-and-mirrors measures adopted to try and cover up the harm done to our economy by Brexit is now only beginning to be revealed. Every UK citizen who is not a millionaire now faces a future of diminished wealth, reduced human rights, and restricted opportunities.
The UK drank the Farage Koolaid. He showed us a poster of EU immigrants flooding the UK, stealing our jobs, and at the same time, being a massive drain on services. And we didn't stop to question that if our plumbers were being put out of work by Polish plumbers, then why were Polish plumbers not being put out of work by British plumbers in Poland - that was what the EU was, a level playing field to make sure that no member country had an unfair advantage over any other.
Now we are out of the club, and Brexiteers are whining that the UK is being unfavourably treated by the EU in trade negotiations. Why would you suppose anything different? We chose to change our relationship from collaboration to competition. Each party takes *full control* of setting its own terms and conditions. It is literally exactly what was voted for.
Was it the voter's fault? How could we know what we were voting for when 47 years of successive governments had failed to take the time or effort to explain our role with the EU; our rights, our responsibilities, and how we participated. All we had was a popular press that went on about what we paid and bendy bananas.
The UK is out of the EU. Both Tories and Labour have fully embraced Brexit because neither party can bring itself, to tell the truth, that the country has been tricked into making a massive mistake.
Making a success of Brexit is a sham in a world where technology catalyzes globalization.
Making a success of Brexit is telling the tide not to roll in.
Labour or Tory makes little difference given the opposition party now embraces Brexit.
There is nothing for the UK other than making Brexit work and enjoying the rewards of exactly what it voted for.
Though clearly, not everyone is so sanguine about it: 2019 Sets New Record for Irish passports:
