jfman's post above #4018, if it is representative of the remoaner community, clearly suggests that they do not want the best for this country at all.
I actually missed this first time around. I totally object to your use of remoaner. I've said many times I voted to remain, although will financially benefit from a disorderly Brexit.

You have been unable to quantify that the best thing for this country is leaving at all. Until that time, which I expect to be the day after Elon Musk dies on Mars, it's a perfectly legitimate point for anyone to hold that the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland remain part of the European Union.

Indeed, legitimately, that the deal on the table furthers the cause of Irish reunification and perhaps even Scottish independence. I don't see what is patriotic about the death of our great nation.
