If it doesn't work and this all goes tits up, at least we tried, and i'm proud that the majority of the country voted to try, despite it being such a risk.
The country hit recession like every other country did across the globe, and we would have been no less affected out of the EU.

The fact that the NHS is crumbling has nothing to do with the EU and everything to do with the fact that the Tories are systematically sabotaging it because they want to follow a US style insurance model which will now be easier for them to follow. Your family will pay no less tax, but now you will also have to pay for your own surgery on top of that. Well done.

This isn't really a "let's try something different :hmm: " situation... But these little insights into people's thinking are very enlightening at least. Horrifying, but enlightening.

Well, now that we aren't giving millions of pounds to other countries, maybe we can focus on the NHS. Like I said though, we can only wait and see how things will pan out.
That's exactly why I explained my reasons for supporting leave, to enlighten some people. Horrifying you is just an added bonus

The amount we'll be "better off" is probably hugely exaggerated for one... But then, even if we were several-million-a-week better off, they simply wouldn't give it to the NHS. The NHS is being systematically demolished, deliberately, and will continue regardless (has nothing at all to do with the EU vote, or lack of funds, would be the same either way).

The NHS isn't getting anything. They already conceded that today. It was a lie.
