People have had opportunities that they don't even realise. It's rubbish that wealth is there for a few. Just those who can make it don't have faith in themselves. There is a culture of failure that's endemic, even trendy among some groups. Brexit won't fix that.

The difference is in your inability to understand the motives and empathise with the reasoning of a large number of the 17.5 million.

Instead you choose to hector and lecture.

You've forgotten your roots or choose not to engage them in to your reasoning.

One thing I'm most excited about is hearing we can go our own way worth animal cruelty so will be able tp ban fur, until now any hope of that within Europe, has been shouted down by Denmark and other fur producers.
Hi

That is one of the most insane posts I have ever seen.

It is completely factually incorrect.

Denmark has banned both Halal and Kosher slaughter, Poland is doing the same.

It has nothing to do with the EU at all.

As for Trade, 130,000 businesses here in the UK export to the EU and 40% of our Trade is with them.

130,000 Businesses will have additional costs for the first time.

We are not only leaving the EU,we are leaving the 40 odd Trade Deals we have with other Countries.

The EU are completing Trade Deals with Canada, South Korea and Japan, EU Businesses will have the advantage of them, our industry will not.

We will have to negotiate our own.

None of this is unsolvable, but so far we have not done anything successful to resolve the issues.

The reality is we have messed up so much we have complaints against us to the WTO.

We are now asking,not just for a 2 year Transition,but an unlimited Transition.

The two year transition is costing us £40 Billion,a huge amount of wasted money

There is no way on Earth we can control Immigration on leaving day.

The scoping Project for the new Immigration System will not even be completed until the end of this year.

I do understand the motives I just don't empathise. Nowt to do with roots. People cling to roots only if they lack confidence.

But it's plain logic to anyone that crisps in the future vs a three course meal now are not a wholesome deal.

I've still not seen any facts to explain how Brexit is going to make us wealthier or more successful than we have been thus far. The arguments for don't stand up to any academic scrutiny. Even the brexiteers are giving up on it.

And still it continues!

We are leaving. What do these remainiacs hope to achieve?

If they should ever reverse the referendum decision, all will be lost and democracy will have ceased to exist in this country.

Because our authorities are weak and afraid of upsetting the 'minorities' in case they react by letting off bombs and driving lorries into crowds.

Indeed I'm hopeful once we are out we will be making better choices of MPs and making big changes in how we do things. The idea if it isn't broken leave well alone is mad because it is clearly broken already and has been for years.
