I fear they orchestrated the entire thing to rid us of regulations and rights.
It's not a popular theory, but it's mine

I see the EU as the core of neoliberal politics and because Britain is the essence of what the EU was founded on, for too long it hasn't had to answer for its own poor politics. Nobody was questioning 'austerity' and as you and I both know Kizzy, 'austerity is a big con. Without the EU, we can at last hold the Tory government to account. Already the Lords are taking more notice of public opinion and May is, at least so far, treading very carefully.

Cameron was the leading force behind the transatlantic trade deals and without him behind that driving wheel, those deals quickly fell under a bus.

As for immigrants, what scapegoaters fail to consider is the £billions brought into this economy from immigration alone... without immigrants, we would become both insular and poorer. What people don't get is, if we want to
reduce migrant labour, we need to also reduce our need for migrant labour. But anyway, the only immigrants affected by Brexit are those who are members of the European Union. It makes not a scrap of difference to the Africans, Orientals, Arabs or Middle Easterns...for them it will be a visa application as usual. Having worked with immigrants from people outside of the EU, I have a full understanding of the tough process these immigrants have to go through if they want to live and work in the UK. That won't change. We have never had open borders for anyone outside the EU and its doubtful we ever will.
