Why the need to neatly label someone and put them in a box?
I am not a “Brexiter” (which is a term I despise) and on the only chance we had to vote on it, I voted Remain….( I’m also not a Remainer, I voted Remain that’s all)
As a Democrat, I believe we should all move forward and not whinge about getting your own way like a child.

Unfortunately for you Pierre, the gravity of trade will always tie us into the EU. Leaving the EU won't stop the debate on our optimum relationship with the bloc. As we've seen this weekend, few would agree we have the optimum relationship right now.

It depends on what you consider “optimum”. Anyone with half a brain would know the journey from leaving the EU to establishing a new equilibrium with the globe would be difficult, painful and lengthy. The very reasons I voted Remain, but the decision went against me, and I can live with that.
What I can’t live with is people throwing unnecessary obstacles in our way, and others taking pleasure as we find our way through these very early stages of the journey.
Again, only an idiot (and there seems to be millions) would have thought that Brexit Day+1 would instantly see us reap any benefits and sunny uplands free of the EU. To complain and constantly moan that it hasn’t happened just cements the stupidity.
Brexit is a generational journey, and once the bitterness and aftershocks have subsided, we may begin to forge a new relationship with the EU, but there’s too much hate on both sides at the moment to do anything meaningful.
For real Brexiters, the fact we are no longer in the EU is reward enough.
The rest of us need to look reality in the face and do what’s best for the country.
