Boris has told the EU we will not agree to a "level playing field" in plain English they want to tie us to their rules and regulations so we are not a competitor to them. Of course if we export goods to the EU we have to abide by their rules and vice versa but we should not be tied to their protectionist policies that is a matter for our Parliament. Boris is talking a good game now he has to deliver. One more point

I saw some extremely weird people celebrating on Friday evening but I understood why, even though I profoundly disagree with them and think their reaction juvenile, and rather pathetic. I wouldn't have joined a wake for Brexit myself but some people, with every much passion for our membership of the EU as those who wanted us out, obviously felt strongly enough to express their sadness in this way. It's not bitterness at all. It's a genuine feeling of loss and of something happening that ought to have been avoided. They had every bit as much right to express those emotions as those who were celebrating. Ok I get their disappointment but it just seems a bit over the top having a candlelit vigil. Leaving the EU is hardly worth getting upset over and I highly doubt it's going to make much difference to their lives. It will probably improve it the EU is in freefall and we are best out of it. That's me done so no need to reply.

They had every bit as much right to express those emotions as those who were celebrating. Have to say the “people like you” comment does you no favours. I suppose the ultimate irony here (well 2) is that you claim to be tolerant, yet insult anyone who doesn’t agree with you. Yet that isn’t the most damning, For all the insults you lay towards Trump (blinkered, uneducated, intolerant, dogmatism) you are guilty of exactly the same thing. Both bigoted, both dogmatic and both believing everyone should bow down to their superior knowledge. Granted you may be slightly more sophisticated than Trump, but the pair if you don’t half spout b****** as fact and insult those who don’t agree.
