Oh, and it seems to me that most of the 'panicking' going on is from the Remainers camp 
Nothing wrong with this Country at all, as long as you've got a job and somewhere to live.
Those that haven't will have a different view of many things and, whether rightly or wrongly, will blame much of it on the EU.
I'm sure they'd swap their current lifestyle for one of those with a nice house, car, and earning 300k + a year, and probably change their vote if they did. |
One thing that Margaret Thatcher did was to try and teach people to take personal responsibility for their own circumstances and to try and improve them. Clearly that message did not reach those who apparently "blame much of it on the EU".
And no, those leaked documents are not guesswork. It's hard evidence-based work, not Project Fear or anything like that, just cross-departmental work from some of the finest brains in the country. Doubtless Leavers will try and criticise our hardworking civil servants in the same way they denigrate this fine country of ours.

If another form of words is what it takes then I'm happy to stick with Robert Peston's:

Or to put it another way, the Whitehall “experts” - so derided by Gove in the run-up to the referendum - are getting their own back on Gove and Johnson by providing supposed empirical proof that the Leavers’ passion to take back total control over making laws that affect business and commerce would be to throw mountains of £50 notes on to a religious fire.
