The amount of information out there was gargantuan.

The government paid for information on what it meant to leave to posted through every door in the nation.

To say people didn’t know what they voted for is, and has always been an insult to those that did. The fact that the government has not managed the outcome as they should or could have is no reflection on the wishes of the people.

They voted out, not because of sunlit uplands, but because they wanted British issues to be dealt with by the British parliament not the Brussels/Strasberg one.

The referendum question was not vote out and get this or vote in and get that.

7 years on and we’re still whining about it, pisses me off.

The fact that 7 years later you are still misrepresenting the truth probably pisses off more people than just me. People voted out for a whole set of reasons and many did not do any research at all before voting. Some just believed the lies they were told.

A British couple in their sixties have bought a bargain €15,000 (£13,000) three-bedroom house in Italy for their retirement – but they cannot get a visa to live in it because of post-Brexit travel rules.

Greg Walter, from Winchester, says he voted for Brexit, but now feels betrayed.

“We were told Brexit was not going to impact our life abroad, that it would be just a matter of formality,” Mr Walter, who used to work in construction, told i.

“People who had second homes in Europe, or planned to buy one, were never given the correct information on the vote outcome.”

He and his partner, Steph Appleton, purchased an old dwelling in the picturesque town of Latronico in the Basilicata region of southern Italy last year and want to relocate to the quiet village, surrounded by lush vegetation, to enjoy a laidback lifestyle.
