Just to be clear, I do not "detest" wealth creators and risk takers per se. The ones I detest are those who seek to gain personal wealth at the expense of the population they claim to help or represent.

The most disturbing aspect of your reply is your casual disregard and contempt for the other citizens of this country. Your willingness to plunge into the abyss of a no-deal Brexit betrays a naivety at best and a frightening level of denial at worse.
Completely wrong - again! Incidentally, I was not 'name calling' - you must have invented that one.

If you seriously believe that wealth creators are not making money to make themselves rich, I don't know what planet you are on. The point is, the money they make comes into the country, and this is good for all of us.

Something you might like to consider. Our exports to the EU have reduced from 57% over a decade ago to 44% now. Additionally, according to the IMF, 90% of global growth in the next five years will occur outside of Europe.

Codification, bureaucracy and incompetence in the EU is stifling business. The reality is that a good future for the UK lies outside of the EU, and if we actually manage to detach ourselves from the EU's stranglehold over us, we will go from strength to strength.

I want this country to prosper in a way that also benefits the poorer sector of our society and to free ourselves of that collosal debt that has been accrued while we have been bringing down the deficit. In what way is that 'a casual disregard and contempt for the other citizens of this country'? That sounds to me like a Corbyn rant.

On September 19, 1946, Sir Winston Churchill delivered his famous speech in Zurich calling for the creation of “a United States of Europe”:
Unfortunately, this 'United States of Europe' will be ruled by bureaucrats. Something I doubt very much Churchill envisaged.
