The EU comission is still an unelected, anti democratic bureaucracy so of course I'm not changing my point of view. Why would I?

Your remark suggests a profound lack of confidence. If there's so little confidence that 'you brexiteers' can't handle the scrutiny of the position that's a better argument for continuing to question it than I could ever make.

I absolutely do have a problem with confidence in this matter. It was a bloody miracle that we managed to get a majority out vote and the remoaners are using every trick in the book to turn this ship around. There were massive forces working against brexit and there still are. Of course I'm worried.

On the corporation tax stuff, good point, no idea how the UK would do if we tried to become a 'tax haven'. I must admit I struggle to see how that'd coincide with rebalancing the economy.

iirc, cutting tax usually results in a greater tax take for the govt because people and companies are happier to pay what they perceive to be a fair tax rate rather than using tax avoidance vehicles to dodge paying it.
