Neuroscientists now claim that the human brain is not

With elections, the reverse, thoughtfulness rather than
obedience, should yield better outcomes.

It didn't with Brexit. Leaving seems to have been driven by emotion,
rather than thought.

My wife, a committed leaver, comes from Southwold which has links to
inshore fishing but hardly relevant on a national scale. She had links
to the travel industry through her mother (BEA) and godfather
(Thompsons) and spends far more time abroad now than I do. So why
attempt to pull up the drawbridge?


No drawbridge is being pulled up, international
travel will continue to be just as easy as it ever was.


well, it doesn't seem to be that way on the Dover Calais route

Nor any other route, but that has nothing to do with Brexit

The trouble with you remainers is you never travelled internationally
before.
