Only one in 10 feel leaving the EU has helped their finances, while just 9% say it has benefited the NHS, despite £350m a week pledge according to new poll
A clear majority of the British public now believes Brexit has been bad for the UK economy, has driven up prices in shops, and has hampered government attempts to control immigration, according to a poll by Opinium to mark the third anniversary of the UK leaving the EU single market and customs union.
The survey of more than 2,000 UK voters also finds strikingly low numbers of people who believe that Brexit has benefited them or the country.
Just one in 10 believe leaving the EU has helped their personal financial situation, against 35% who say it has been bad for their finances, while just 9% say it has been good for the NHS, against 47% who say it has had a negative effect.
I don’t get what you mean by “rubles”
It’s Russian currency, I’m guessing they’re saying Russia had a part in helping Brexit pass.
This is unfortunately a well documented fact at this point.
That’s honestly pretty creepy.
Which part?
The part where Russia contributed to Brexit.
Guess where the money for the bus came from? Brexit will be remembered as one of Putins biggest triumphs.
You guys really could’ve explained it earlier.
I genuinely didn’t get the joke at first, and my punishment was lots of downvotes.
Gotta get more informed buddy. Nothing discussed here is that new. That said downvotes are a piss poor way to make that clear. Come on guys, let’s be civil.
Honestly I kinda deserved it, since I basically knew nothing about what was happening in politics back in the day.
Russian money lol
Yeah, I know that. But why?
Russian interference in the 2016 Brexit referendum.
In essence, the Russians interfered with Brexit through various means. There is allegations that some of the biggest supporters of Brexit took Russian money in their goal of winning the referendum.
Edit: Grammar
Finally, it makes sense now.
Finally, it makes sense now.
There’s good reason to believe Russia has meddled into a lot of things around that time (and beyond).
I get it now.
I expect there’s an enormous amount of things you fail to grasp.
Yeah, exactly.
