Unsurprisingly, I'm not surprised.

Look, I haven't said much up to now, but I believe in the European "plan" on a philosophical level. I believe that Europe is an entity in the way the US is an entity, and that, for example, Utah would have felt a bit daft now if it had ( if it could have) opted out of the US experience.
I believe that the French minister who said we would be no better than Guernsey is correct - though of corse Guernsey is a lovely little backwater if you've ever been there.
I think little englanders should reflect on what we could be, rather than what we once were, and we COULD be a leader in Europe,once the initial hiccups of Union are overcome. The California of a strong Europe rather than a small and insignificant pip off the coast of the European mainland, waiting for scraps from the Eurotable. The EU is very young in political terms, and it would be fools who wish to give it up now.

I must have been very mistaken then... I sure Mr Murdoch has only the highest altruistic values at heart when he uses his media company to politely encourage the free people of the UK to throw off the oppressive shackles of EU domination, it's obviously quite absurd to suggest that Brexit will be in his interests personally or professionally in any way.
I feel deeply ashamed that I might even think for a split second that directing his editorial staff to construct and publish arguments for Brexit in editorials while trying to report even-handedly on the forthcoming vote could constitute an attempt to skew the vote for his own advantage. It seems obvious now that this is just the work of a benevolent father figure merely guiding the hot headed youth of today in the direction that is needed for the good of the country.
He publishes his newspaper day,day out and has done come fire,famine,referenda,etc.How is backing Brexit with one of his titles making him any more money than usual.Do try to answer the question when you've got up.You Remainers follow the party line,and never answer a question.Now if you bother answering,you will ask a question about experts,or say Brexit haven't got a plan,or you're all little englanders.

What,that Britain will be like Guernsey if we leave?The bloke is not just a clown,he's an incompetent clown,totally incapable of proposing a realistic plan to rescue the French economy from its downward spiral.I have no idea what a pivit is-a french vegetable?

Absolutely gutted. I started this process being ambivalent about the EU, but having read so much, educated myself about it during the campaign, I've come to learn how positive our EU membership is for the UK, and about all the good it does. So yeah, pretty gutted

I ticked 'Other'.
There have been some good arguments in favour of Brexit, one or two of which I would make myself. But given that it was the hugely over-egged immigration issue that apparently swung it for large numbers of voters, and given the xenophobia that has been the subtext of much of the Out campaign at local level, I am afraid that my feeling this morning is utter shame.
