Re: General Election called

I am sure that you are not on your own JCB on understanding the complexity of the EU.

I trawled through lots of information before I voted, just to satisfy myself I was going to be doing what was right(with my conscience ).

I also asked myself if an organisation which wanted us to stay, that was supposed to be friendly, an ally would make the threats that it made about how we would be 'punished' for leaving.
The EU treated us like naughty children.
This organisation was far more reliant on us, than we were on it.
It was misrepresented to the people of this country. It was sold to us as a trading organisation. But it had grown to be far more than that.

I also asked myself, if this were a business would I invest in it.
That told me all I needed to know.
I do not value our elected representative making generalised slurs against the people who put him where he is today.
Whether he said it or not...he posted something that was from somewhere else and it was clearly inflammatory. I don't know anyone who would post a link to a story unless it was something that they believed to be true.
