David HollandYes the 'man in the street 'is 'stupid'. That is why generally no sensible country had a yes or no referendum on anything remotely important

Morgan WilliamsAlmost perfect summary

David HollandWhat a load of jingoistic rubbish.

Ulla JacksonWell said Ulla, As truer line ever spoken, the rest have accepted it and moved on. Endless questions on the same issue which won’t be changed for a generation are pointless. Most peoples lives are untouched by Brexit. And I quite like getting a stamp in my passport. The disputes, the nurses have not reached a mandate so have settled The others remaining Are getting no where. A compromise will be achieved, It’s the English way. I was just being flippant about tomatoes and milk , but the U.K. has very good prices for food .and most goods actually. As for the debate pre vote it was spurious and Ill informed for the very reason no one really new what was on offer. Or what the response of the European Union would be. And to quote the boxer “ a man hears what they want to hear and disregard the rest “. But the U.K. system is as you know first across the line And the question on the voting Paper was quite clear And unlike some nations we don’t keep voting until the required answer is achieved.. France voted against the Treaty changes in 2005 , it was ignored.Ireland voted on the same question 3 occasions. But the tensions in the U.K. had to be released some how. The intransigence shown to Cameron with the council door closing him out , shown on tv like a seen from the godfather certainly didn’t help. And the investment bankers wealth destruction exercise and resultant chaos and austerity primed the pump of discontent. The case for the European Union membership was punitive prevention not benefits. That again didn’t sell. So now we have U.K. politicians with “no can’t, “ because of European Union rules excuses . And for me that’s the win . Responsibility.. the rest is only noise.

David HollandUsually I agreeeing with your comments here but not this time. I was living in the UK when there was the debate for or against and the information was certainly not explained in any detailed way what Brexit would mean. As usually it looks good in principle but breaks down in details. The big end game was against immigration. As you know the voting was 52% for and 48% against Brexit. Regarding strikes in the UK is not crumbling, despite not being as violent as in France but still make life difficult to many. Regarding your comment about lower tax in the UK. It's in my view not quite so, as the tax are in two parts. Tax and NI. Put these two together and it's not that low. Many, if not most, countries take one tax only. Somehow it's a bit of delusion to many in the UK that the tax is low. On top of it the council taxes are also high in the UK. Regarding your prices. You do not have to buy "Mutti tomatoes", there are local ones available - fresh. Milk is cheaper in the UK. Why pick on just two items!? And to leave it be. The ones who have difficulties are the British, the rest have accepted it and moved on.

Andy WalkerYeh me too Scary.

tranq tranquerWell they should think and consider And listen and not just hear what they want to hear But that’s folk . And it’s not just Brexit or Brits that don’t understand the story.

Morgan WilliamsWell Morgan other than our shared love of Jazz . And a question mark about Scotland. I maybe agree with you .

Piers de-VillneuveWell Piers as for USA investment banks that plunged the world into world worst economic crisis since the 30s I’ll take their advice with a pinch of salt. As we are still suffering the consequences of those illustrious experts , in excess asset prices and inflation due to years of loose money supply, QE… As for milk well it’s actually cheaper in the U.K. than most of equivalence Europe. And I’m still reeling from seeing a tin of Mutti tomatoes In Eroski Pagurea at over 4euros . 90p in my local Waitrose. But after 7 years of its Brexits fault and Boris’s cake and the never ending analysis. It happened, democracy in action. Right , wrong , good , bad . And does anyone in the U.K. or especially Europe want to go through all that again. Time to leave it be.

Andy WalkerWell good for the poles . They work hard and in my experience excellent people. I helped set up a us manufacturing site in Gdansk back in the early 90s. They’re hardly no 1 with old Europe at the moment though are they. Part of the east awkward squad.
