  1. More fool the EU then because the British people only agreed to trade under the EEC and were surreptitiously entered into a political union that none of us wanted or agreed to. Freedom of movement is one way traffic, poor members countries coming to richer EU countries and creaming off the benefits and higher wages. Sorry but that doesn't work the same way for most Brits so we don't want it.

  3. I'm perfectly happy with my vote and have no intentions of changing it and can't wait to leave the EU as it has done nothing for me. I also don't have to resort to profanity like a five year old.

  4. Exactly, thats what the referendum was all about, choice. Had we not made a choice it would have been too late to do anything about as the EU would have made it impossible as the whole idea is to have a United States of Europe with unnacountable, unelected EU bureacrats that tell us what we can or cant do and we have no way of removing them.

  5. Ever closer union In the secret document that we weren't supposed to see yes but the people were sold a lie right from the start by Ted Heath. Who in their right mind reads a treaty? Most politicians don't they just signed them off. None of us as individuals had any input in the Masstrict treaty or Lisbon treaty, no referendum that I recall. Most people don't know how the EU works, including politicians. Maybe you have studied it closly but it's unrealistic to expect ordinary people to have much of an interest in how it works or even what it is, most people didn't even know any of the key members before Brexit. Therefore, we vote on our own personal experiences and whether we believe the EU has benefitted us or not. In the case of freedom of movement, it hasn't benefitted me whatsoever and most Brits will never use it.
