I happen to be a dual citizen by the way and until you've paid anywhere near the taxes I paid into the British Internal Revenue in my lifetime plus serving in the British Army I dont need you tell me what I can post or where I can post on this forum

Spot on.

a 4% majority vote is a clear enough decision, both major political parties have said they will not try to rejoin the EU, that is final enough for me and should be for everyone else.
FYI I paid taxes all my working life so dont try to tell me how I should think.

Well it looks like the majority now want if not rejoin, at least some reconnection with EU on some existing models.

When people were fed a pack of lies by self-serving politicians with nothing turning out as assured, only natural to rebel against those falsehoods.

Not a single benefit has surfaced from leaving EU. Plenty of negatives though for small business for example.

Perhaps you have already been manipulated in how to think without being even aware of it?.

we would have been better off if we havent had to work with Treason May's Brexit deal, and if Remainers hadnt tried to change the result at every opportunity/
Rejoining isnt on the cards, we wouldnt get the same deal and would be worse off, we would have to have the Euro, even the most ardent Remainer can see it just wouldnt work, even that arch Remainer Gina Miller has said it wont happen.

I don't think the UK did ratify May's deal, and went with the 'oven ready' Johnson one.

I agree with you that rejoining the EU, which I do not want to see, would be harder, which makes it all the worse as the UK had a favourable deal before it committed economic self harm by leaving.

He's typical of the far right ultra nationalist loudmouths, all wind and p**s. My parakeet knows more about economics than he does.

Dont worry about Nigel though. I'm sure he's doing alright for himself. No COL worries for him

Funnily enough I've just been watching his show on the TV, talks a LOT of sense that man. By the way he is NOT far right.
