    Remainers don't do facts. On Twitter they cite the collapse of chain retail & restaurants as evidence of destructive Brexit.


    When they are pointed to countless articles on the GLOBAL demise of physical retail stores, they simply don't reply. US Malls are closing hand over fist as online retail booms.


    It is a fact that almost all of Project Fear is a lie, yet still the sanctimonious Remainer brigade cant see it.

    ...Not upset at all....very happy in fact with the investigative reporting by the Graun into the fraudulent activities of Vote Leave.


    You celebrated Obamas ground-breaking data mined, targeted social media campaigns. Same with Labour's 2017 GE social media campaign.

    Remain outspent Leave by 2/1 & benefited from a £9m Govt leaflet backed by almost the entire establishment and global elite. Leave was vastly out-gunned.


    Remain thus had vast campaign advantage yet still lost.

    About as believable as Vote Leave's referendum campaign was ethical!


    From that Zoe Williams, Guardian article;
    southerners voted in greater numbers; their votes were decisive. Furthermore, most leave voters are middle class, or at least were of the generation whose housing and pension windfalls put them squarely in the category of wealth.

    There was the leave campaign, the remain campaign and the government's own campaign to remain with its unlimited resources and the entire civil service in support. Despite the overwhelming odds in its favour, the government still contrived to lose.

    And still the whinging continues nearly two years on. Pathetic.

    Do something to convince us that it's not a bad idea. Get us on board. Why should we support Brexit?

    We are fortunate to live in a stable democracy. Something our past generations gave their lives for. No one has to support anything they disagree with. Though at the end of the day. You'll need to get on with your life and make the most of the situation. Little point wasting ones life away for nothing.

    Why would anyone even bother to try as nothing would change your opinion? If the economy doubled in size over the next ten years, you would still be telling us how much better things would be if we were still in the EU.

    Only if that was the case. So far all I've heard is hollow rhetoric and a complete silence on details. I hope I'm wrong though.

    I'm being unfair though; until we know what a Brexit is, we can't really have any detail, and that's not the fault of anyone but May and Davis

    Fixed that for you. ;)
