The fact that 'Leaver's Remorse' is a thing only reaffirms it.

Are you calling yourself ignorant?

Have you got anything useful to add or contradict what I'm saying or is your only response a jibe?

Hey I have a quote for every day of the week, except as stated earlier in the thread, a quote is but one persons opinion....

It's very relevant. Your words were, as usual, personal opinion - not fact. You accuse people who voted to leave as 'scared' of change due to immigration when others could equally accuse remainers of being 'scared' of change in other ways - fear of the unknown for example.

No one knows what will happen. Some 'experts' imply it is doomed to disaster and we will all suffer the consequences, despite the lack of any real evidence for that, whilst others say that such independence could be good for our economy in the long run. Some agree with the former and some agree with the latter. It is all supposition at this point and no one, try as they might, is better informed than the other.

And as for the term 'leavers remorse' - that came from the remoaners, no motive there then! A good dose of both manipulation tactics and wishful thinking. I'm not sure exactly who they are trying the hardest to convince - the leavers or themselves.

The reality is that in this we are all ignorant. Some are also ignorant of their ignorance.
