Brexit policies? There were none.

Brexit comes in several varieties?

When we voted in the referendum, we had but two options: remaining in the EU or leaving the EU. I voted for the latter.

I saw no options for us to leave nominally but to remain under the aegis of the ECJ. Neither did I see an option for us to leave nominally and continue to allow unlimited immigration from all other EU countries.

It's funny how our politicians seem to have interpreted the 'leave' option to embrace several other options that we didn't even know about.

Exactly ! I was given to understand by various MPs that we could simply recind one law and that would be it we would be out and under wto rules.

We're not alone, Julia. Fortunately, there are over 17 million of us!

Same here, and the government sent us all a leaflet to tell us what we were voting for. This was pointed out in no uncertain terms by the audience on Question Time from Barnsley on 15/12/17

I haven't watched every news broadcast since then, but on those I have, I think I've seen a slightly more aggressive or pro - Brexit stance towards the Remainers, including MPs, both Labour & Conservative parties

Last opinion poll I heard (Yougov I think) is that only 15% of people now wish to remain in the EU
BBC, Sky, and most of the the rest of the media were notoriously pro Remain, but I wonder if the message is slowly sinking in, that the majority of the electorate are fed up with the antics of the Remainers, and, if only cynically, they'd better look to the future of their jobs & positions

I completely agree.

I didn't see the Barnsley Question Time. I never watch it these days because it is so left-wing biased. I wish I'd seen it now, having heard all about it.

Perhaps I can watch it on iPlayer.
