Were you happy with our trade in 1973?

Yes. I voted against joining. Had to wait forty years for my next chance to vote on it; same should apply now. Fair's fair.

We were in EFTA and had been since 1960. So, you were happy and we could join EFTA again now.

Remainer uses derogatory language - gives remainers a bad name. I wonder why this ended in the Bear Pit, eh? Some people seem so bitter they can't help themselves.

But the Tories were not explicitly anti-EU. A small hardcore of them was, but every time that faction gained power they got their arse handed to them by the electorate. Even in 2015 that held true.
At last we agree on something, this thread has not one tangible benefit [emoji106]

Margaret Thatcher introduced the Single Market which was used by the EU. John Major has spoken out against Brexit, as has Kenneth Clarke & Michael Heseltine just this week.
bigotry = obstinate or unreasonable attachment to a belief, opinion, or faction.
I await constructive argument to refute the term about the people mentioned.
I'm not bitter at all..... except in your mind.
But I am willing to listen to and reflect on an opposing view. I simply pointed out that these named people may have been driven by and appeal to emotions, but do not make a reasonable case.
Your criticism is misplaced

Interesting responses, in summary...
No one's life has improved. Just one poster pretending he got his vaccine because of Brexit

An opportunity to boast about the good things Brexit has bought to our lives, to stick it to the former remainers... 90 replies and nothing but some generic terms that the poster cannot explain, and something that isn't related to Brexit.

Followed on on from my post yesterday, they will probably go like Dominoes on the next work or two. The EU stood up for consumers in numerous ways older people amongst us wiil still recall the annoyance of having to buy and fit a 3 pin plug every time we bought a new kettle or toaster..
The EU thought it was dangerous and unfair on the consumer so they forced manufacturers to fit them....
You used to buy step ladders without warning stickers and instructions as to use with them..Lots of stupid people died or got injured in ladder accidents so the EU insisted on proper Health and Safety warnings. People raged against" Health and Safety gone mad " but less stupid people now die in accidents with ladders....who is there to stand up for the consumer in the UK now?

If we did have another vote to rejoin and whether it actually happened I can guarantee before, after or at any time I could easily reel off clear and compelling reasons why and very easily evidence how my life is better.

My immediate concern is whether the UK will exist in 4 years....

Why can't John Redwood provide the benefits himself? Maybe he could also compare them with the benefit promises made that persuaded so many to vote the way he advocated......
