A lot of blame must lie with those Labour Party members who thought it a good idea to vote for Corbyn as leader, who should be sitting in a cafe in Hampstead playing chess in his flip flops - totally incapable of addressing working class concerns about ithe mass movement of people

I think you underestimate people's intelligence. People voted based on experience and on what they see. The beauty of this referendum is that it completely transcended party politics and, personally, I don't think nearly as many people as you seem to believe were influenced by the shenanigans on both sides: in fact, I think it probably convinced them (if they still needed it) that politicians are a bunch of selfish, narcissistic w@nkers.

This result of this referendum wasn't just to give the EU the finger - it was to flip the bird at the entire political class. We should have them more often.

Quite agree.

Not really a major issue, given that freedom of movement hasn't been around that long. The big change was the easy of employment in different countries. Back before freedom of movement, you could easily travel around and visit European countries with ease. The only real impact is that without it, corporate exploitation of poorer EU countries to undermine working class people in the wealthier nations.

I'd be very worried however if I was a landlord. The rental and buy to let market is directly threatened by the prospect of an eventual decline in temporary working migrants. This has been keeping the housing market high. After all, if we end EU migration and phase out EU workers from the UK is going to mean several million less people renting in the UK - which could have big issues for home owners, people who own investment in property portfolios and especially landlords.

Of course its good news for people who don't own properties or have paid off the majority of their mortgage.

True to an extent, but there were still many who believed the hyperbole.

Still no sign of your assertion that the NHS claim was dismissed pre referendum...

I take it you concur with my last couple of paragraphs in that we need to pull together now the decision is made and look for the best way forward.

Nonsense. Poll data, pre-referendum.

Please stop, the campaign is over.

Optimistic as ever

What he said was:

1. He wasn't part of that side of the leave campaign.

2. The money saved there for a number of things. He included the NHS. This part has been left out.

What we will see in years to come are the lies told by Dave, George, all the debating group, Amber Rudd, the business leaders thinking only of short-term dividends in their 10 acre properties and to hell with the British people and the politicians whose only focus is GDP, not quality of life.
