For a brief moment I was going to jump in on the pro/anti brexit debate until remembered two truth's that won't go away:

The one outcome of Brexit is to hopelessly divide the UK down the middle for generations to come.

There is no point trying to argue points with the rabid supporters of either side as they are both hopelessly entrenched in their positions like on a WW1 battlefield (which loops back to the first truth!)

The whole campaign was bloody awful, both side lied through their rear ends and nobody planned for a "leave" result. What they should have done was to negotiate the "leave" conditions first and then had the referendum - they we could have made an informed choice and left almost immediately without any arguments.

I voted remain. Why? Free market, ability to travel, live and work wherever you wanted to Europe, Employment and Consumer protection (despite the best efforts of UK Gov to limit them), being part of a big trading block which gives it more clout on the world stage instead of a little minnow and it stopped the UK imposing utterly draconian laws.
