Brexit, Am I Missing Something

[Vagus]

When the referendum took place I didn’t believe what either side were saying and looked at what I thought would be best both for me, my family and the country and voted remain.
Now that we are leaving I’m trying to see the positive and see how it’s going to improve things for me and my family in particular and I’m struggling to see any benefit.
I’ve noticed that lots of people on here seem very keen Brexiters so can you tell me how you see the benefits of leaving to you and your family. Do you see yourselves being better off etc?

So you own no paintings, listen to no music, watch no television Spicey? Come on, 'proper jobs' is a jibe beneath you, you have no idea what is involved in acting, it's not going to parties and rocking up 5 minutes before your scene you know, it's exhausting, difficult, sometimes dangerous and often leads to physical injury or the exacerbating of existing conditions, and at the bottom of the tree really demoralising, but it is a 'proper job' whatever you might like to think.


.....And scene.

In my humble opinion, acting is very rewarding for the few at the LUCKY few who get the breaks.
It is a vocation, hard work, and commands respect.

[Spicerack]

I said it was the hardest job in the world. Michael Caine is a Leaver. He's an actor you know.
I don't know, Talbot, I've no reason to disbelieve it. I know all the factories around here have either shut and gone to Europe or re-opened with a new name and an agency workforce. (progress, I suppose)

[kvalidir]

I'm afraid my opinion of Michael Caine more or less mirrors those of the late Richard Harris, which were legend :) x

You could be a "model" Spice...……...for scatter cushions.(^_*)

All the white good manufacturing was promised to Turin, and subsequently went there.

Spicerack, let's wait to see if there is a reverse flow of your list after next March when the UK will be such a better place.

Kvalidir,20.29, yes remember the " Caine Mutiny, "?. and as Spicecrack says ,
He's an actor you know.

What we originally voted to join was 'the common market', a trading agreement, not a controlling agreement. When we were, eventually, given the chance to vote reference the union we were put into without a vote, the majority voted to leave. This has so far not happened.
There is no way we should be asked to vote again before our wishes have at least been tried out.
Voting has always meant that the majority vote is the one that goes forward.
Why do the remainers want to have a second vote at this stage?
You can't keep asking for another vote until you get the one you want, that is not the way democracy works.

[Theland]

Togo - thank you. Focus on truth.

[cashier]

We didn't vote to go into the Common Market. We were put jn by Ted Heath.

[Theland]

Wilson gave us a referendum but for the COMMON MARKET, not the EUSSR.

[New Judge]

Just for clarity, the country was not afforded a referendum before we joined the "Common Market" in 1972. Mr Wilson staged a referendum in 1975 asking the country whether they wanted to remain or leave.

[stocksman]

OK, so I was wrong about voting to join Common Market, but that was a good idea. We certainly were not given any choice with regard to EU, which has turned out to be far from a good thing. Now we have had a vote to leave EU and the wishes of The Majority was to leave. That is what should be happening.

[New Judge]

"Now we have had a vote to leave EU and the wishes of The Majority was to leave. That is what should be happening."

Plain and simple - and spot-on.
