There were several factors of voting leave with not all voting for one set of things either.
That is my view and you can discount that but even from that small number in my family who did so, they did not vote for instance,believing we would leave the single market..
Also neither were they voting for that when they voted leave.

Needless to say I disagree too with your fist part of your post sadly, I see no reasons for personal attacks on others and stating they appear to know nothing.
Everyone has opinions, they do not need to be offensive,.
But what makes those examples that you give of leave voters you know any more valid than those that Kirk knows?All are equally valid.There are many who researched what they were voting for aswell as many who did'nt on both sides.I don't discount your view as you shouldn't discount Kirks on those examples.There are implications on here that most leavers are unimformed or racists or xenophobes etc(i'm not saying that you've suggested that).These are offensive to leavers.
I saw no personal attacks in his post towards any person.Just an opinion on posts on here.
