Actually, looking into what Leave said, is it the £350m/week you're concerned about? if so, nobody ended up believing it was £350m because that sum was well debunked during the campaign.
Is it the naivety of people like Fox and Davis who thought it would be the easiest negotiation ever? Do you seriously believe that Leavers needed to take that into account as a partial basis for their decision?
The problem that TM is trying to resolve is the rigidity of the EU and its unsurprising desire to see us well stiffed. We hurt them most, in retaliation, by leaving on No Deal.

Can I say "....idiots like Fox and Davis"?

I was referring to personal abuse of other CF posters.

Disagreeing with someone is not "anti-democratic".
It could be argued that trying to shut down others' differing views by calling them "anti-democratic" is, in itself, anti-democratic...
That's like saying anyone who protests or disagrees with whover is elected in a national election is "anti-democratic" - no, it is freedom of assembly and free speech.
