Brexit Opportunities

It would be easy to mock arch-Brexiteer Jacob Rees-Mogg who has been appointed as the Minister for Brexit Opportunities and has issued a plea to readers of the tabloid Sun Newspaper to write to him if they can identify any possible benefits of Brexit.
The Tory MP published a letter in Thursday's edition of The Sun asking for suggestions because obviously he was buggered if he could think of any benefits to us leaving the largest Free Market on the Planet which was conveniently situated right on our doorstep but at this Blog we are nothing but helpful so let's see if we can come up with any.
Well, there is the...hang on that's 4% of our GDP we are losing so not that so what about...hmm...we did but we could do that anyway so not that either.
There is always the lack of...nope, miles of tailbacks at the Dover port but what about the....oh that's right, staff shortages leading to the empty shelves, i forgot about that.
It's a bit of a stretch but i guess we have become...oh yeah the Northern Ireland border...come on Lucy, think!
There is that agreement with Australia for lamb but one agreement for a few million pound against the one we left worth hundred's of billions and anyway the Farmers protested against it, as did the Fisherman who have now lost their market...wow, this is hard.
Maybe the Sun readers will come up with something but from what i can see, the only one benefiting from Brexit is the new Brexit Opportunities Minister who has a new cushy job in the Government, there you go, there's one for you Jacob. You are welcome.
