Would losing access to the EU market, higher prices for foodstuffs, higher inflation, higher unemployment, tens of billions lost in tax revenues, having less security, more pollution in our seas and rivers, and one or two other negative things that will almost certainly happen in the years after Brexit, perhaps make you question the wisdom of your choice to Leave? We would access the EU market in the same way that most other non-EU countries do. Higher prices for foodstuffs? We can trade with non-EU food producers who currently have massive tariffs imposed on them, which by the way are bankrupting African farmers. High unemployment? You mean like Greece's 24% and Spain's 20% and the EU average of 10% compared to our 5%? We intend to pollute the seas and rivers do we - why would we do that? We will certainly start to replenish our fish stocks that have been decimated by EU fishing 'policy'.

These will happen regardless and has very little to do with Brexit and more to do with the general economic state we find ourselves in, tbf.

We will certainly start to replenish our fish stocks that have been decimated by EU fishing 'policy'. The Environment Agency relies on EU cash, and they have done fantastic work with it in tandem with EU directives for cleaner rivers and seas. The North Sea has much better fish stocks now than at the end of the era when trawlers could take what they liked and how much they liked. The discard policy was extremely wasteful but has, I believe, been rectified. I said 'higher unemployment' for the UK. You still didn't answer if you would think that as acceptable with a Brexit. You speak from the hard heart. Not the head.

The Brexit result doesn't really make that much of a difference in the grand scheme of things as Europe is also majorly f-cked.

I did not expect senior remain tories upon losing to appoint themselves in charge of enforcing the result not in their favour. Doesn't that show their complete lack of integrity? The PM made the appointments.

It actually shows their faith and support of democracy to carry out the will of the majority of people, even though it does not accord with their personal wishes. Some of you lefties could learn from that.

All the bad things remain warned us of are unravelling and this is before brexit happens. Todays bonuses are the financial sector parts of moving to Europe early next year, food prices due to the weak pound due to brexit I noticed in Tesco marked up generally, a few more foreign workers bashed by us for existing in our once proud nation now known for hate crimes. There are more things than the price of fish (gone up too).
The Remain camp's warnings were that we would be in economic meltdown by now. They correctly forecast the devaluation of the £, but forgot about the upside of that event helping our exports. Initially the stockmarket fell, but only for a few days and has now recovered and nearly at an all time high. Sh1t stirrers like you will seize on any opportunity to bang your drum about the Tories, The Brexiteers, Capitalism, etc... anything your miserable lives detest in your world of communist inspired unworkable heaven. Go on a march or something with a witty placard like "Tories Out".

So you think it is integrity not to serve your country. Also not all remainers voted remain for the same reasons nor had the same intensity. I know a few remainers who voted remain but had little enthusiasm for the EU. It isn't for an observer to judge a person on integrity without knowing the actual person.

I think you will find that the publics perception of politicians has reached a new low after the advisory referendum I heard the conservative head of the treasury committee say that. The conservative party do not serve the country IMO they serve themselves I don't feel left wing in stating that. Well... thanks for sharing that with us... we now know where you stand. On the contrary, people like Corbyn, Abbott and McDonell would not serve the country either by way of incompetence. The country would be bankrupt again in record time if this ship of fools ever got into power. I don't feel right wing stating that either.

Some of you lefties could learn from that. Faith or support of democracy, to carry through their plan for Brexit, irrespective of what the will or majority of the people want it to mean. Which is odd, because all I keep hearing is how Labour are completely unelectable. So the Tories would apparently be a shoe in.
