  1. One day you will thank us.

  2. Firstly there was no promise to give 350m to the NHS, the slogan was "we give the EU 350m a week, let's fund our NHS instead", it didn't say let's give all the 350m to the NHS, and yes there will be some expenses in the short term but we got our country back, which has no price, people died 75 years ago fighting for our (and Europe's) freedom, that is a much higher price to pay. It's messy because the establishment didn't expect the result so didn't have plans in place. The money will need to be spread amongst farmers, science research and many other things, but at least we get to choose where it goes not the EU ! Truly it was a great result.

  3. +Mishell Cornell Sorry I don't understand. Are you suggesting that all 17.4 million who voted leave have to go and live in England/Sunderland?

  4. What EU money? The EU doesn't have any money...It's our money, we give it to them and then they send some of it back and spend the rest on their big salaries and expense accounts and buildings. If we didn't send it them in the first place we could be doing this sort of thing ourselves, and keeping the change.

  5. Nobody took it away, it was progressively given away by various PMs by signing us up to treaties without asking the people if they wanted to go in that direction. When asked they answered. You are quite right the 350million was wrong, when you add in the invisible extra payments, like the 4/5 of VAT and import duties we pay to the EU plus the fines they lump us with, it is more like 400million a week.
