No wonder I voted leave, it must be down to being unable to think for myself or, maybe, having a brain cell between my ears, 9 O-levels, 3 A-levels and a degree I might just have used my own judgement and arrived at my decision based upon the information supplied. As I've alluded to in both my post and the reply to Steve Gale, my family links with the armed forces have a major influence on my thinking. Taking back control of our borders and reinstating our judiciary are not extremist views. The UK is now a multi-cultural society and the envy of many other countries. All I hope for is that we continue welcome these migrants, from whatever ethnic background, but with the basic understanding that they chose us, we didn't choose them. These are the laws - don't like them? Then you need to go somewhere else!Dylan Wrathallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01285181139467170047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7338589224051075532.post-45321328327164712732018-07-29T09:44:20.383+01:002018-07-29T09:44:20.383+01:00Steve,

I think that we can agree that since the "Brexit" result our political parties, not just the government, have put on a shambolic display, when a unified parliament should be pressing for the best result for the UK but, instead, have done nothing to instil confidence about anything they say or do. Quite how this whole farcical process ends is out of our hands but no deal looks ever more likely due to ineptitude and infighting within the mainstream political parties. As you, quite rightly, point out both leave and remain campaigns supplied very little information that would sway your thinking. My mind was made up from day one and, given what has happened, I would vote out again, if required. My family history and links with the military are ingrained in my makeup and exactly why I wear my poppy with pride and support The British Legion. I fully understand that subsequent generations will have lesser attachment to these views, but should remember the debt they owe to all those service personnel who died defending our independence, beliefs and sovereignty during the two World Wars. If Brexit were able to return us to being a member of "A Common Market" rather than this current bureaucratic monstrosity then I feel both leavers and remainers would see this as a win/win result.<br />Sorry for such a long winded reply - I just got on a soap box and away it went!

Same old refrain, 'those who voted remain understood what they were voting for', those who voted 'out' didn't, just believing lies.<br /><br />Funny really, they then went on about some building work they had done. In the past they had a British guy who used to do the work himself. Now he has a team of Romanians to do it instead.<br /><br />Here's how it panned out.<br /><br />They had the job done sooner than later (advantage them) <br />However, they paid just as much for it (no advantage)<br />The Romanians got money to send home at a good rate (advantage them, disadvantage the UK balance of payments)<br />The British guy got his money for nothing (advantage him)<br />The couple also had a few items stolen by the Romanians but didn't want to make a scene (advantage Romanians, disadvantage them)<br /><br />Quite honestly, I couldn't see why they were so pro 'remain'.<br />I voted 'out' and it wasn't because my table clothes and cutlery had gone missing.Richttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02714117508358025668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7338589224051075532.post-4636684527642589312018-07-28T13:46:25.461+01:002018-07-28T13:46:25.461+01:00My opinions are the polar opposite to both you and...My opinions are the polar opposite to both you and Derek on this one Dyl. What I hope we can all agree on is that the whole campaign - from both sides - was amateur, and since the referendum result the governments handling of the leaving negotiations, and the forward planning for the country after fully leaving the EU, utterly shambolic. This whole situation was born by a spat between factions of the Conservatives, and subsequently taken over by wealthy people, who, by their influence will make themselves even more wealthier. The recipients of any 'Brexit dividend' will not be me, you or Derek.

The gall of some MP's who are using every trick to remain, despite their constituents voting to leave, is unbelievable. We've survived a lot worse than coming out of the EU and will do again.Derek Faulknerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05140363868104172311noreply@blogger.com
