Exactly - I worked in Maydown years ago right on the border and completely free.

The BBC Remainers report that economic growth exceeded expectations, through gritted teeth:

How many of the Remainers predictions have come true since a June 23 2016?

In a world of free money continually being issued (DEBT printed from thin-air that will HAVE to be repaid!) then why does anything really matter? We are way past that point.

Question: Why do the Remainers never mention the billions upon billions (of DEBT that will HAVE to be repaid!) constantly issued by Draghi to prop-up what would otherwise be a FAILING EU Bloc?
Answer: Because they are NEVER bloody told of the real facts.

Some here think that the ever increasing global DEBT is a good thing.
Don't be one of them.

No one said they would ‘get rid of foreigners’.

If you have proof someone did, please provide it.

So when things used to be completely different from how they are now then you mean?

One argument that I've seen very little of is around the futility of a "soft" Brexit. This is perhaps due to the complete lack of a plan from the government in over 5 years since Dodgy Dave announced his commitment to a referendum on EU membership. This has allowed for chaos and wrangling over various shades of Brexit.

The only 2 options that should have ever been on the table, and this should have been explicit, are full Brexit and remain in the EU as a key player. Soft Brexit and staying in the single market and customs union would necessarily be worse than staying in the EU as it would necessitate signing up to de facto membership without having any say in the direction of travel. We'd also lose our rebate and likely have to continue to make some sort of contribution towards EU projects and the budget and we've already lost a number of high profile agencies and jobs that go with them. It is also a waste of parliamentary and civil service time when we're still being plagued by Tory austerity and incompetence in running public services.

Cameron should never have been allowed to call a referendum without having set out clear options and without having made proper plans and providing proper information, like sector analyses. Furthermore arguments from people on the Brexit side over Norway style deals, Canada +++, not losing any of the benefits of the EU, signing huge trade deals on day 1 were ill-informed and disingenuous and clearly unhelpful post the vote. Remain running on a platform of fear was clearly a bad strategy and didn't offer a vision of the UK being a European leader and reshaping Europe from withing (a la Macron). Cameron was too narrow minded and scared of his back benchers to do that. He will surely go down as the worst ever PM.

The situation now is a mess and we'll almost certainly end up in a state that no one wanted and is worse than either option could have been with proper planning. Given the mess the government has made of this I think we should now only consider those two options. The problem has been a lack of planning and then a lack of competence. I would like to see some genuine leadership from May and for her to say lay out the two options and allow a second vote on them, and if Brexit wins then go for a "hard" Brexit where we will be a genuine 3rd country and not in some halfway house. Sadly this won't happen as she's weak and a coward. I have no idea who would win as polling is mixed, but at least we'd have a mandated direction and not be left with the worst option due to incompetence and craven acts of self preservation by politicians. The lack of such an explicit choice has made soft Brexit almost inevitable.

Labour could of course engineer such a decision in a way by changing their stance on Brexit. They probably won't though.
