Your opponents aren't interested in you. Just go about your life and stop obsessing over a country you left. Opponents? Why is everything in life for people like you always a fight or conflict? I'm just commenting on my experience living in the UK and then deciding to leave. I now have a perspective from the outside which is very relevant to this discussion as 27 countries are also looking at the UK from the outside, some of which I have lived in. If you don't care then stop replying to my comments, the same for that other chap Rudi Hedman, who also doesn't care about my opinions but still keeps replying. The pair of you remind me of someone with fingers in both ears whistling and trying to avoid hearing what you don't want to hear. Keep it up, it's quite entertaining.

How many of the leavers said 'Dunno' and 'what's the EU?' Is it near Thailand? My guess would be none as people that hadn't a clue were likely to be in the group that didn't bother voting

One of the main reasons I decided to move my family away from the UK was the culture of bitterness and hatred towards people doing Well or being successful, particularly if they were 'foreign'. Looks like nothing has changed and that culture is on a path to get much, much worse.

We have had nothing but mass criticism of leave since the vote. The entire establishment was remain and they have done nothing but continually attack since the vote. If another vote started I'm pretty sure the 'leave' campaign would get them back. But this question is done for, by rights, over a generation......just like we had to wait for a vote on the EU again after 74.

I have principles I try to live by. You have excuses for not living yours....economic or not. London is the capital of England. I don't give a damn what you feel about it. Go live somewhere else in the EU. What are you on about? I simply said the EU wasn't the disaster zone you paint it and is actually home to many pleasant places to live, and places like Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam, Florence are all far more appealing places to live and work than anywhere in the UK outside of London in my opinion. It's nothing to do with "principles". I have no excuses, merely reasons for not wanting to leave London, but still thinking the next best location would be outside of the UK. I'm aware of London's location and capital status. I love London, but feel the concentration on and development of London has been at the expense of large parts of the rest of the country and that's the fault of successive Governments. Sadly Brexit will not solve this problem.

David Davis doesn't have a clue does he? Not one. He thought we'd be signing bilateral deals with Germany to import BMWs on day 1. His only qualification seems to be having been a long term Europhobe. He's also a complete hypocrite of the highest order. Unfit for his post.

According to the PM visiting Iraq today, no deal has been reached with the EU over the divorce bill.

This puts an interesting stance on things. Conspiracy or coincidence? [Tweet Link]

Sadly Brexit will not solve this problem. 2 of those are again capitals and in parts of Italy away from rich cities thriving in commerce and tourism there's unemployment and little hope of home ownership or starting a family. As I said this morning, France has real problems from freedom of movement and fiscal indiscipline. The only countries without serious issues are the main winners from the EU, Germany. And Scandinavian countries you mentioned this morning because of their ethos of high taxation that works in a small country when it's a permanent policy.

What I'm on about you'd never really understand...though you think you do in caricature..... just like the language and thought patterns you show on here come from a mindset I can only caricature myself.
