You are deliberately attempting, with all the others who voted to remain, to muddy the waters and introduce irrelevant arguments that you may feel are issues or ways of getting a u-turn. However, the vast majority of remainers are not at all concerned about those arguments. They voted to leave the EU. Leavers do not misunderstand what 'leave' actually means.


Nope, just injecting a bit of reality into the simplistic assumptions of those who still support hard Brexit. We are still connected by a tunnel regardless, or should this be blown up?

I voted leave, I did not vote for complete separation between us and the EU.

With all the problems Brexit has thrown up I wish I and others who have since changed their minds had voted to stay.
