I voted for Theresa May because she is the patriotic one, who as a remainer, understands the meaning of democracy. Brexit means Brexit.
This great country will realise later that we have managed to take the best decision in a generation by leaving this political project which the politicians signed us in to through the backdoor. It was supposed to be economic union. This project will fail and sink like the Titanic but we would have dodged the bullet.
I have voted for labour party all my life beginning with the 1979 general elections which the then Jimmy Callaghan lost to Maggie Thatcher. However, I found it difficult to vote labour in the last general elections because I could see that Labour party was in disarray and would have mortgaged our future to the EU bureaucrats at whatever price, as long as we remained in the single market, free movement et al. It will be like the biblical Esau who sold his birthright for a mussel of pottage.
The Labour party election promises were empty Father Christmas wish-list which they could never deliver on.I remembered Jeremy Corbyn fiddling with his Ipad in vain when asked about the costs of these promises, David Lammy telling us our going to the polls was advisory only,Chuka Harrison Umunna saying the referendum result was cataclysmic, and please don't mention Diane Abbott forgetting her simple primary school arithmetical additions. These are MPs who would have been running a labour government, God have mercy on us!
David Cameron threatened us that leaving EU means leaving the custom union as well as the single market and repeated this several times during the campaigns. We all knew what we voted for in the referendum, so stop patronising us. At least after Brexit, every nation will be on the same level playing field when it comes to citizenship, working regulations etc in this country whether one is EU born or from South America, Asia or Africa.
The EU negotiators have been unreasonable, rigid and most times insulting the intelligence of UK citizens in "not grasping the enormity of the negotiations".
However, which woman will be foolish enough to agree to a divorce before the discussions with her husband on the sharing of assets or even access to the children in the marriage? The EU wants so much money to cushion the effect of what they know will be equally catastrophic for them. Maybe we should come up with our own divorce bill as our money over the years helped to build all these projects scattered all over Europe.
This is not negotiations at all and Theresa May should not cage in to these unreasonable demands.
At the end of the day, we will go through a period of hard times but this great country will bounce back. It is better to have the pains now and free ourselves from the shackles of EU so we can tap into the opportunities provided by the whole wide world.
The strategic location of this country as an Island, the English language (as the unofficial EU language), the economic prosperity, connections with the rest of the world, et al makes this country "the J.R of Dallas" (the man you love to hate but can't stop loving).
It is actually the EU that will be hard hit monetarily, economically and socially by our decision to leave and they know it!
