“…but we will NEVER get to keep the 'Euro' trading that is handled through London.”
You paint an ever darker picture, Eddie. As I’ve said previously I think you are wrong. But even if you’re right it doesn’t matter. Most people who voted to leave voted that way because they wanted to reclaim control of the country and in particular of its borders. We cannot do this and remain in the EU. The Leavers are prepared to sacrifice some of the economy (but not as much of it as you seem to think) to achieve this. It’s tough on those who may be affected. But the bigger picture – the survival of the UK as an independent sovereign state – takes precedence over the jobs of a few bankers. It’s called democracy, Eddie. The majority prevails.
“”As almost nobody knew what the short term, or even the longer term, drawbacks or gains would be, you assume too much.”
The expected short term drawbacks are economical uncertainty and turbulence (already evident) and the long term gains the restoration of supremacy of UL law and its Parliament (indisputable if Brexit is fully effected).
I think I’m withdrawing from these referendum post- mortems. Tennis is on the telly for another ten days and the debates are becoming increasingly tiresome and bizarre. To summarise, Leavers were mad to vote the way they did, did not know what they were voting for and are now regretting the way they cast their votes. Oh dear, how sad, never mind!
