Boycotting British Goods?
Hurting the workers who produce them?
Those who you profess to be protecting?
That is so hypocritical.

It's usually the well-off middle classes who complain as their assets may end up at stake through increased taxes. Tough.
But again, we will have to wait and see and not worry about anything just yet.

I haven't yet noticed any difference either, though our Europhilic friend would assure us that we haven't left yet and the sky will fall down only AFTER we have left!
One additional good that will come after Brexit is that our glorious leaders will have no-one else to blame if they cock things up. It will no longer be the EU's fault, but theirs alone.

I read today that Corbyn's days are numbered and that he'll be gone by next year.
May is upsetting so many people that I shouldn't be surprised if her days are numbered too.
One hope is that the far left component of the Loony Party might reform to create a far more moderate Labour Party.
We need a strong opposition. We don't have one, which is probably why May is so happy to sell us down the river.

Incredible!
So if you meet someone new, the first question would be how they feel about Brexit?

It's ironic that you complain about anti-intellectualism and yet shut down debate and abuse your opponents in the most vile and stereotypical way.
The only thing that is polluting public life and public discourse is the refusal of Remainers to get with the programme and the constant , shrill and cringeworthy accusations of racism and such like.
Your contention that workers rights are under threat is ridiculous when you consider the Gov't have stated the opposite and when life under EU dictatorship has seen the free movement of people imposed on the UK leading to an influx of cheap , untrained labour that has driven down pay, conditions and led to the imposition of zero hours contracts and the proliferation of agency run workplaces and taken away any incentive to train and upskill British workers.
The worst thing that could have happened to the British Working Class has been happening for the past 10 years and that is thanks to the EU and that's why we voted Brexit.
I hope the middle and better off classes do suffer......but we know they have the habit of snaffling all the funds and resources for themselves and their kind and will continue to do so.

I don't believe that for a minute. He will resolutely refuse to go. He has too many radical supporters who according to reports are going around kicking out moderates from local authorities. It would be a disaster for Britain.
