Whereas if we do go ahead with a Hard Brexit, what do you think disillusioned Remainers are going to do, just sit there and say "ah well let's keep voting for the same idiots who brought us this mess?"

Is the average person going to even notice.........

Most people are concerned with their own locality. If there's less house building. Easier to get a GP appointment. The UK retaining it's English culture. Etc etc. Then daily life will have improved. That's a real measurement of success.

If we lose high quality jobs people will notice, they will notice surprisingly quickly, "English culture" doesn't pay the rent. Why on earth should the UK have a solely English culture anyway, its one part of the union, unless you are planning on getting rid of the rest of the UK as a follow-up to Brexit....

How do you reckon brexit will reduce GP waiting times? Unless the Tories privatise them and No one can afford to go?

My GP and hospital are staffed by a huge portion of foreigners and attended in the vast majority by local pensioners.

People haven't been concerned previously about the loss of UK companies and related technology. Clutching at straws to reinforce an argument is somewhat meaningless. Successive Governments have been trying to rebalance the economy for decades. Unfortunately without any success. A dependence on services and houses. Is going to cost the UK dearly in the longer run. Whatever the Brexit outcome. As an example French savings rate is currently 22.9% of income. Different attitude, different culture towards money.

Old bats in straw boaters, most of the adults middle aged or older, dragging their poor grand children along.

Hang on - aren't brexiters the ones supposed to have one foot in the grave??

Over 65's was the only group with a leave majority, something like 60%. So there's still a lot of older folk wanting to remain.

Just on my home from London. There was a big anti Brexit protest (which I wasn't at). What's maybe less well known is that there was also an anti-anti Brexit protest made up of, largely, people from the Shires.

They're milling around the train stations with "Screw EU we want our country back" placards hanging limply from their hands.

Having just shared a train carriage with some of them I could probably most kindly describe these people as ignorant racist drunken thugs.

Have you forgotten Brexit is the mess.

If there is to be a second vote I leave that to others to decide on the question.

'Bring back the rope for !!!!!s'

Nice to see your tolerant side coming out, if/when you claim later that you have not stereotyped leavers I will remind you:)

Tens of thousands of people have marched in central London to demand a final vote on any UK exit deal, on the second anniversary of the Brexit vote.'
