If the figures in this article are credible, then it is profoundly misconceived for the British government to continue it’s charge without a second referendum. The issues that have arisen since your referendum were not anticipated by your politicians or electorate and the closeness of the outcome under those circumstances shouldn’t be ignored.

Can those who voted either way really say they made an informed decision?

Unless it was on the side of a bus then it's not relevant apparently.

Speaking of passports, we’ve dished out quite a few to Brits since the referendum. And quite a few applications in tow as well.

Nice of you guys to all want to be wearing the green jersey now and I’m sure you’re all looking forward to 17 March. (disclaimer- this comment does not include Declan Rice or the majority in the North).

Of course, politicians are useless by being self-serving and/or incompetent to a huge degree. But I've been shocked by how much the whole Brexit process has revealed that the Conservative party doesn't actually understand business or the economy or even care that much.

For an area which is supposedly a core value and concern, their stumbling along to the point of a no-deal with many among them even advocating it, not to mention the crippling uncertainty they've created for almost 3 years, is a shock even to a cynic like me.

Or 'we could stay in the EU and stop dicking about with bullsh*t like this which will do it immeasurable harm'.

As a by-the-by, my particular trust is 100 nurses down from 2 years ago. The majority of the departed are overseas nurses of EU origin who aren't being replaced because EU nurses registering to work in the EU has essentially dropped to zero in the last 2 and a half years.

My local MP has refused several times to talk about the cost of the UK leaving the EU - he is a leaver- always countering that what the UK will save exceed any cost.

What's equally depressing is an opposition party with a leader who's actively in favour of the same course of action. One which is likely to lead to a degradation of worker's rights, mass hardship in the most vulnerable in society and mass deregulation(read: privatisation) because he thinks that if his opposite numbers f*ck it up hard enough he'll be able to build a socialist paradise out of the ashes.

A plague on both their houses.

I concur. The NHS has real problems.
I engage with the NHS on a monthly basis because I'm on anticoagulant therapy which entails a blood test to make sure my blood is thin enough to circulate my body but not too thin that I have a haemorrhage.
Last week a comment from one nurse about another nurse was that "She's agency and doesn't know where anything is". When I asked why she didn't help her the reply was "Not my job and I don't have the time as I'm rushed off my feet as it is".
Morale is not brimming in the NHS.

Blimey. I caught any of my junior nurses saying anything like that, they could expect a b*llocking based around the point 'if you show people where things are and how to do them, it will ultimately make your workload easier to manage'.

The first sic months of so will see them adopting the attitude of a man who's looked his neighbour in the eye, shat himself and is trying to brazen it out, then they'll be blaming the EU for 'bullying us' into this.

Don't get me wrong I disagree entirely with Corbyn's view on the EU. But that's his historic Leave stance, not opportunism. Arguably there's much more political capital to be made from adopting a Remain perspective.
