I'm unclear why the remainers still think we all want t don black jackboots and start closing everything down. No one I know does, yes I'd like to restrict immigration to something manageable, even the most zealous left wing luvvie must recognise circa 300,00 annually - that we know of is a bit... crappy really.

I don't think it's all fluffy unicorn farts to the sunset either, I fully acknowledge it will be difficult and not 'instant great' In the long run though I think we'll be better off, especially if Europe falls.

I'm especially thankfully that we at least have the chance to do something for us, without the handicaps or advantages the EU gave us, I suspect if we had left it another 5 years or so, there would have been enough 'tactical' voters in Scotland and 'people of foreign origins' in London & other big cities to thoroughly put the kibosh on that idea forever.

We're masters of our own destiny now, and how we work towards that will determine how we end up - it would be nice if we all worked towards that goal to ensure that the best possible outcome arises.
Well hopefully...

Yes that would be the sensible thing to do wouldn't it. If they decision is made, as we've been promised, there's little point in going over what would have been etc. We need to get on with determining what will be and panicking, talking ourselves down or whatever serves no purpose other than to harm our chances of arriving at the best possible outcome whatever that turns out to be. No there's no room for complacency about the UK's prospects or the problems ahead but we can't afford to be defeatist now because that could well turn out to create a self fulfilling prophecy.
