No they're not looking at any of that Brexit stuff you still cry about Andrew, but the pay cuts, job losses and diminishing services are just around the corner and they're getting a tad disillusioned with it all

Just the same as the UK really, so why the rush to jump back into the bucket?

Didnt "polls" say we would not leave in the first place ?

I advocate rejoining the single market, it's too soon to rejoin the EU.

For a Brexit supporter who finds a spare £36m down the back of one of their sofas, being £400 better off is a bit like me finding an extra wine gum in the glove compartment! But to me and a lot of British families, £400 makes a lot of difference.

Sorry, didn't know you'd all had a £400 pay cut mate. Was that £400 a month or £400 a year?

. . . or is it not actually a pay cut you've had and more to do with the present (Labour) Government messing with income tax and National Insurance ;) :shrug:

I doubt it. A majority of voters in every EU country wish to remain, ie keep the status quo. Conversely a majority of voters in the UK want to rejoin, ie change the status quo.
