A large number who voted Brexit simply wanted change - at any price. And
I'd say they will find out what that price actually is. Far more than they
can afford, and definitely not what they were promised by the likes of
Farage and his cronies.

Never quite understood why so many believed rabble rousers like Farage.
Who never was in any position to deliver his promises.


I voted BREXIT because the alternative looked much much worse.

Having lived with the alternative for the last 40 years, I can
honestly say that it hasn't been bad at all.

I have also spent a lot of time in an EU country where the government
just gets on with it and governs instead of hoisting the blame for
their ineptidude on the weakest members of society.

Watch Hungary and Poland - and how the EU treat them in the coming year,
for daring to want to maintain some policies that the EU don't agree with.

Ireland does things the EU on the face of it does not allow, like the
unpopular water charges, their government governs, works to find
common ground, solutions.

Pity our shower didn't do the same. The waste and stupidity on water
sites beggars belief.

The shareholders do quite well though,

We're too clever for merely interpreting and changing the rules to
suit our situation, we send scum like Farage to represent us and the
EU makes a terrific scapegoat for all manner of ills anyway!

From my experience of the workforce Poland, and it may well go for
Hungary too, they will be getting a hell of a lot of investment
directed their way.

Flag waving, nationlism and bigotry are all well & good, but it's a
bit like the sterling exchange rate at the moment, the most important
thing is the bottom line & cashflow through every strata of society.

It may not stop some EU members from doing their own thing, but when
you look at what Greece has been through, they obviously think it
worth riding out the storm.


If the only people to do well out of Brexit are going to be the
multimillionaires, it isn't going to help the UK much is it.

Everything I read in the news indicates that those at the bottom end
of the jobs market are going to have a miserable time.
