    Brexit is really a religion!

    Exactly. Will you dare to insult a religion, say Islam? I bet not.

    Then why insult Brexit?

    Herzlos, an honest question, is there no way you can move back to an EU country? I think maybe in the long run you would be happier.

    Everything in the EU for you seems so much better, so why would you want to stay here?

    Goral - I take it from your posts you are not British - why would you stay either? If you’re not happy here and everything is so much better in Europe why stay?

    I'm going to wait and see what damage you do to my country first and what we do about it. I'm pretty certain once you realise how bad it'll be you'll want back in and this will just have been a bad dream. I've got deepish roots here so would rather stay and for us all to prosper.

    I can afford to wait because I'm well enough off to weather it and I'm in a job that wont be affected (beyond the extra hassle of interacting with europe). I might even be able to get a bigger house out of it. If the downturn is sustained and my family starts to suffer I'll be one of the many higher rate tax payersp heading back into the EU.

    I know you dont like foreigners being here but I thought you'd appreciate their tax payments.

    Unless there's priests, prayers, temples and so on, it's not exactly a religion, is it? Rather it's a metaphor.

    And you can subject religion to critical thought. It's called theology.

    Because if you chase out all of the skilled professionals, who's going to pay for all the infrastructure?


    If I leave, I'll take my job with me, and all my tax will go to whichever host country I go to. I won't be leaving a role for someone else to take. It'll be a net loss to the UK. Enough to affect anyone on my own? Nah. But how many of us leaving before you suddenly stop having enough money to pay pensions, or to keep hospitals open and so on?

    Islam is a proper religion, with a long history and pretty smart teachings.


    You'd be better comparing Brexit to a cult like Scientology.

    Oh Herzlos we have the lowest unemployment rate since the 1970s. I’m sure Britain will live if you leave. You should put your own health first. It can’t be good for you being so angry and wishing ill on your fellow country persons. Wishing us to have a pension crisis, hoping our hospitals close down and that we can’t fund infrastructure projects. That’s not a nice place to be.

    It’s nearly four years since the referendum and you still haven’t accepted the result. Maybe you never will? Maybe you really need to live in an EU country because you believe in the EU project? Maybe you can never accept that the U.K. wants to be independent of the EU?

    Read my signature- I voted Remain. But I accept we’re leaving. That’s democracy.

    We're still waiting for you to give us a single example of an ECJ ruling which has protected us from the excesses of the UK government. Just one please and don't just disappear as you usually do when challenged.

    Sorry, lost in the noise.

    I'm sure uk Gov was overruled on a couple of things regarding treatment of the disabled but dont have references yet. There is the case against the snoopers charter.

    I accept we're leaving, whatever that means. It was a bad idea then and a worse idea now and from all of the polling it's not supported by the people, but that's democracy I guess.
