  They wanted a Brexit that would still offer them the benefits of being in the EU, without any of the responsibilities of it

      I’d prefer the complete opposite of only Brussels telling us how to live and the Tories fucking off forever.

        I don’t think Brussels ever trying to make me do anything, or change my life in any noticeable way.

        The Tories on the other hand not so much.

    We already basically had that. There was essentially no onerous responsibilities on individuals to be in the EU. Sure we had to give the EU money, but we also got money and I’m pretty sure that it was coming in more than it was going out.

    On an individual citizens level, essentially there was no downside and huge amount of upside.

    Have you tried going to France lately, it’s a nightmare, it used to be that you would just drive up to the little passport kiosk and some French guy would barely glance at you and wave you through.

      I have a Swiss friend who just is waved through in airports. And the Swiss have never even been part of the EU to begin with!

    Lexiters are the most deluded of all Brexiters.

      Really? The CAP sucks up the largest slice of the budget and rewards rich land owners to pollute

      Remainers were the most deluded, thinking they were already in the sunlit uplands, when in reality they were just giving up sovereignty for pet passports and mobile roaming

        the EU offers a lot more than your over simplification.

        Oh yeah, how has Brexit worked out on that front?

        The rivers and sea are literally full of runoff and shit.
