Standard reply. Anyone who dares to disagree with you must be lacking in intelligence. What a pompous person you must be. So pleased not or likely to ever meet you.

I am/was a firm remainer. Brexit has already hit my personal finances quite significantly, more than any other individual that I know. No doubt there are others in the same or worse position than me.

As for stopping Brexit now? Boxxocks to that. The UK is currently a basket case, cannot move forwards without moving backwards in the same moment. To go back to the EU would entail the use of a begging bowl, not a pretty sight. The UK should leave as quickly as possible, deal or no deal. It is the only way to escape the ridiculous situation that exists right now.

I personally think the UK will be worse off outside of the EU, I hope I am wrong for the sake of friends and family.

There is just a little bit of me that wants those who voted to leave to see their life impacted in the same way that I have been. Selfish I know.

The way I see it, Corbyn has two problems, (and dementia isn't one of them)

1) No politician can take such a ferocious and sustained barrage of abuse from the right wing press and not get dragged down. Most of the abuse is nonsensical, and is designed just to convince to the intellectually lightweight, but the sheer amount of mud being chucked means that doubt enters the minds even of those who detest that sort of publication.

2) The hordes who turned up and listened to him now won't (because of brexit). Imagine the reaction if Corbyn tried to do Glastonbury again this year. This means his strategy of going over the heads of the press to get people to share his message on social media won't work.

The Tories can balls up the country as much as they want and they'll still get in, as long as they outflank Farage by getting us out of the EU on any terms.

I'll be voting Labour. Because Peter Kyle is my MP and any other vote is a vote for the Tories, but I see a General Election as the least likely outcome of the coming chaos
