I regret to tell you that in my opinion it was the Brexiteers who bullied the people with their lies and false promises. That's rich. It was clearly the Remain, doom-laden 'project fear' that was trying to scare and bully us into staying in the undemocratic, socially irresponsible, protectionist, price-rigging racket that is the EU.

I just want to live apart from these people who want to dictate your life. You can pick any policy and immediately know exactly how they stand on every subject because they are happy to be fed a narrative and uncomfortable questioning authority. They are automatons who truly expose the lie that is “democracy”. Unfortunately they would also have you locked up or worse for daring to go outside of their dogma. Truly dangerous times.

Leave also spent a considerable chunk and their campaign, run as it was by Cummings, was particularly effective. Credit where it's due, but choosing our future via marketing campaigns just isn't sensible. Add to that the unanswered questions over where some of the Leave money came from, and the bad taste is still there. It is always easier to sell change rather than the status quo. It was in 2016 and will be again when the time comes to re-enter. The economic problems the west are now suffering are not caused by Brexit. Ours are just worse because of Brexit. So the tide is turning. The whispers are faint, but they exist. I would like you to back up that last paragraph with actual facts. With a worldwide pandemic and a war since Brexit, it must be impossible to categorically blame Brexit, unless of course you are so obsessed with criticising it at every turn

I know, we can run our own undemocratic, protectionist, price rigging racket pretty well without them.

Whilst I share a lot of sympathy with many of your views, on this particular one, I fear you are overegging the pudding a little. Campaigning for us to rejoin the EU is a perfectly legitimate political aspiration. Holding marches is part of our how democratic process works. I detested, and cut plenty of people out of my life because of it, the insidious campaign to have my vote from June 2016 rendered null and void, and still seethe with anger about the disgusting attempts to stop us leaving the EU but its done and dusted now. I never had a single problem with anybody wanting, and campaigning, for us to remain in the EU prior to June 2016. And now, post our departure, have zero problems with people wanting us to rejoin. This is how it is meant to work.

Really amusing following a thread overpopulated and dominated by a last word merchant who appears to lack any self awareness at all. Glad to be of service. I’ve been busy but have a little time on my hands now so, with my wife away and just the cricket to watch, countering the repetitive nonsense of the Little Englanders passes the time before the pub. Some of the nonsense is so bizarre I ignore it, as it speaks for itself. So no last words there. More like no words.

Our EU trade is disrupted and more bureaucratic. Nothing new has compensated. EU workers have left us. Nothing I have read suggests the smallest real benefit, only the ability to control our decline ourselves. What’s that worth in a cost of living crisis?

Project fear was the pathetic epithet of the Euro sceptics for the totally reasonable concerns of those who saw the folly of leaving. Not all were forecasted 100%, what forecast ever is, some are worse, some not so bad, but overall the warnings were well made.
