Brexit

Why do you think people who voted differently to you in the referendum voted that way?

Just this really, what do you think drove people who looked at the referendum and made the conscious decision to vote the other way?

TTIP is an ironic reason as if we leave under no Deal and revert to WTO rules it is most likely the end of the NHS as we know it.

To fabricate the brexit divide as remainers = rich people, leavers = poor people is much more lazy and a load of nonsense.

That was the point I was trying to make.

I agree there were probably a few racists/stupid people/nasty people who voted remain, but I think the leave campaign did attract far more than its fair share.

I do wonder how many people realise that, TheWorldIsFullOFIDiots .

Anyone with a pre-existing condition should be very, very worried about the prospect of leaving with No Deal. I can't imagine how much private healthcare would cost in that case. Or even if it would be possible.

Sad

and my dh is going to be fucked then.

Me too. Sad

It's driven home to me that these idiots are actually going to make my life physically intolerable. I'm very angry about the people who are saying that they don't mind a "No Deal" exit. I'm quite sure I'm not alone in the terrible impact it would have on my life. I'm pretty sure a lot of those saying "No Deal is fine" simply haven't taken the time to find out what the consequences are, ie. they think it just means a continuation of the status quo, rather than WTO and goodbye NHS. Sad

Because they didn't realise they were being lied to about extra money for the nhs because Boris and Farage have so much integrity

Because they think we somehow still have an empire, and are still a big player. Rather than being a pariah that no one will more do business with

Thisworld - mine too. I'm beyond furious with the hard/no-deal evangelists. The leave margin was wafer thin, they don't have a mandate for this.
