I have absolutely no problem with leaving the EU if the people choose even by the original margin. What I have an issue is that people made a decision without having the facts in front of them.


Dr to family: We would like to remove the patients treatment. It's causing discomfort to the patient and it's costing a large amount of money.

Patients family: Well, what happens if we do remove it?

Dr: Well, we won't really know until after we remove it, there's a chance it could be OK with other medication, but we just don't know

Patients family: OK, well it could be OK so lets try it.


Fast forward two years...

Dr: Well, since we agreed all this, studies have shown that there will be short - mid term discomfort with a real chance of significant pain and the patient may not recover fully. But since this is what you asked for we're going to carry on.

Patients family: Ummmmmm

Dr: We can try and see if the existing medication will work better, but the manufactures say that this is all it will do and no new treatments are available

Patients family: Ummmmmm, Could we think about it again ?

Hospital security guard: No..., no you can't, you can either have the existing medication or nothing at all
