Quite. But they voted for ideal world that does not exist but which they were told they could have, the idea that this included a recession was not explained to them. But that is , as you say, what they'll get.
Cue Riona to tell us that the economy is booming.........
Recession was explained ad nauseum
Funny that people preferred a recession than the reality of living in the EU. Just shows you how awful people must have been finding living in the EU.
Better times ahead folks.Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you.0 -

Recession and all other negative economic consequences were denied by the Brexit camp ad nauseum.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”

It actually isn't.
Yanks no nothing about Brexit. Hell, I seen an american on Bloomberg saying "why do they keep saying the EU is undemocratic - it has a parliament". Never crossed his mind that MEPs have no power, do nothing all day and get paid for it!
The Americans would never join the EU.Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you.0 -

But the negative consequences were well flagged up and people voted still Voted Leave. You have to accept that they knew the consequences but wanted to Leave anyway.
It was painful when we left the ERM - but we got through it and it did turn out to be for the best.Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you.0 -

Nonsense.
The Brexit camp spent months denying all the negative consequences even existed, and denied there would even be a recession, let alone that half a million or more would lose their jobs as current forecasts suggest.
Are you really trying to suggest that all 18m Brexit voters didn't believe a word of what the Brexit campaign was telling them about there being no negative impact on the economy? No recession? No mass job losses?
That's frankly an absurd argument.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

Although I suspect most of them at least know how to spell 'know'.

The EU is more democratic than the UK...Never crossed his mind that MEPs have no power, do nothing all day and get paid for it!
While it is true that UKIP MEP's certainly fit that description it's really our own fault for electing them.The Americans would never join the EU.
Well given they're not in Europe that's hardly a surprise...“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

Please. You clearly know nothing about the EU if you are trying to argue that.
I guess, like the other poster, you only care about getting cheap ice cream.0
