Young people especially need to decide whether they want to live in a democracy or a bureaucracy. Conceding the democratic system that has served this Country so well is the real leap into the dark.

Those with good intentions as you so delicately put it were warned by those of us who voted against that this was what would happen. They only have themselves to blame for not listening.

I believe it was but he failed massively just as he failed on all his targets and promises made at the past 2 elections. Again the rich get richer, this time at the expense of the disabled, while the rest of us suffer yet again with stealth taxes. In my opinion all he did was manipulate the figures to make it look as if he was still on target for 2020.
What really angered me was him using it as a political platform to put the Remain point across about being safer and more secure in a reformed EU. Has the EU actually been reformed? This was unfair to the Leave Campaign as we could not respond. Are the INNERS working to a script I wonder as they say word for word the same things?
I don't think it's any coincidence that Obama is visiting next month either. It's no secret how he feels about us remaining in the EU. Talk about bringing out the big guns. They must be worried about the possibility of losing the vote.
