It’s not about the economy, or the best interests of the country, but about restricting freedom of movement at all costs. Being happy to have five years of recession is quite a price to pay.

At least be honest about it, I’d have slightly more respect for you.

No, just Brexit. That is what was voted for. Not interested in any adverbs or adjectives you add to the word.

nope, not my dream, as I have stated from the very beginning, I voted Remain.

The nation didn’t.

congratulations, for much of the country it wasn’t

Quote:

Well that could mean anything, a subjective point. Depends what you think the best interests of the country are when you vote.

Quote:
but about restricting freedom of movement at all costs.
Well to directly answer the that point, I think it was categorically established that that was what the majority of the electorate in the referendum wanted.

not happy, also no guarantee that would be the outcome.

I don’t seek your respect, so don’t worry about it.
