Voting for freedom to make our own decisions as a country is a lovely idea, along with being in favour of "motherhood and apple pie", but back in the real world...

I feel sadness for the working people who will pay the price for our leaving and annoyance with the intellectually self- indulgent, well-off professional classes and politicians who will float above whatever mess we finally end up with. "Oh dear, that hasn't turned out well has it, but another bottle of Petrus, shall we?"

I am going to Belgium for a holiday tomorrow. I hope people will treat me with pity.
But Graham people were sick of the EU fleecing us to maintain an elite. They were also tired of people coming over here on the take. It's bad enough having a take, take , take attitude at home without spreading it to Europe as well. This country and Europe couldn't and can't go on like that. Subsidising the poorer members of the EU will inevitably draw our standing of living down - no question. That is the whole purpose of the EU: sacrifice of the richer nations to the poorer.

What the UK has to do now is to de-regulate as quickly as possible to make this place the best to do business. The chances of our government doing that are remote, but that is the best way of moving forward from this.
