Look, they’re irritating things like reducing pollution, stopping our packaging from containing hazardous chemicals, keeping working hours fair, protecting temporary workers rights, banker regulation… how are the Tory government supposed to fuck everyone over with all these in place?
We already basically had that. There was essentially no onerous responsibilities on individuals to be in the EU. Sure we had to give the EU money, but we also got money and I’m pretty sure that it was coming in more than it was going out.
On an individual citizens level, essentially there was no downside and huge amount of upside.
Have you tried going to France lately, it’s a nightmare, it used to be that you would just drive up to the little passport kiosk and some French guy would barely glance at you and wave you through. You could have been a terrorist or smuggling drugs, he didn’t care.
Remainers were the most deluded, thinking they were already in the sunlit uplands, when in reality they were just giving up sovereignty for pet passports and mobile roaming whilst 25k lobbyists in Brussels shape policy and decisions at the top are made in secret
And that’s not even the Antici secret notes from the Council meetings.
Edit. lol downvote away, no karma censorship bollocks here
Facts > feels, most of you don’t even know how the EU works, and given an actual chance to do something revolutionary cowered like chicken littles because of a threat to Thatcher’s neoliberal single market?
Anti Brexit: told you so.
Pro Brexit: this is not the Brexit I voted for.
They wanted a Brexit that would still offer them the benefits of being in the EU, without any of the responsibilities of it
Which is pretty much what we had anyway. Oh, but if course I dOn’T wAnT bRuSsElS tElLiNg Me HoW tO LiVe!
I’d prefer the complete opposite of only Brussels telling us how to live and the Tories fucking off forever.
I don’t think Brussels ever trying to make me do anything, or change my life in any noticeable way.
The Tories on the other hand not so much.
Hold on now, the EU had given us our rules on annoying things like keeping our water clean, allowing citizens to move around, and human rights.
How are we meant to exploit people and the environment being told to live like that?
In fact, the UK has been strong armed into over 52,000 laws!

I have a Swiss friend who just is waved through in airports. And the Swiss have never even been part of the EU to begin with!
Pro Lexit: this is just about to get started
Why would any sane left leaning leaver believe the right would deliver a left leaning brexit?
The added benefit is crippling the Tories for at least a decade, plus all the scalps already taken:
Lexiters are the most deluded of all Brexiters.
Really? The CAP sucks up the largest slice of the budget and rewards rich land owners to pollute
