I voted to leave, but if I'm honest over the past 8 years I can't see any benefits of leaving the EU quite the opposite, if a referendum were held again tomorrow I like many others would vote to stay, but that ship has sailed so I guess we will have to make the best of it.

One reason why I consider Theresa May to be such an appalling individual.


She set out 3 red lines - no to customs union, no to single market, no to a 'sea border' between GB & NI. Either she was too thick to realise the 3 are legally incompatible, or she simply didn't care. Either way, it was a total dereliction of executive responsibility, chasing headlines when clear heads and commonsense was needed.

Making ‘the best of it’ is joining CU and SM at any price bar adopting the Euro. That wouldn’t work (see impact of Major’s misguided attempt to join the ERM in the 90s).

Time to put ‘political acceptability’ aside and think more about people's livelihoods, jobs and future. Is that not what a government is for? - or are they just there to pursue their own Drones Club fantasies and line their own pockets? The country is a mess. Brexit is partly the reason for that.

As for what these people knew, the government had to have explained to them two years after the vote what a Customs Union and Single Market was one Sunday at Chequers. They didn’t know.

They also didn’t know how trade worked or how the EU worked, what the so called red tape was for or anything else. Utterly clueless and wrapped up in their own bogus view of the world. Potential impact? Not interested. They knew nothing and most of the idiots didn’t want to know anything until it was made clear to them that ‘no deal’ could mean no anything - and I do mean anything.

The emerging catastrophe is quite clear from the Select Committees of the time and these a matter of public record.
