That is unbelievable...
So the Remainers touched a raw nerve in you and you abandoned all sense, from a pro-EU standpoint?
You do realise that the people behind Brexit, make a career out of taking the piss out of the UK public.
I feel that is rather a loose interpretation of what I said.
I try to be open and honest about things when I post (seriously) on here, and you know what, sometimes life is complex, things change and views about those things change.
I consider myself flexible and open minded, I am not constrained by political dogma. During the noughties we enjoyed our time in Spain, all was new, fun etc. As time went on some of these perceptions changed, but overall, I remained fairly positive about the EU in general.
It was the 'enactment' of the Lisbon treaty that started to make me think, little or no debate in the UK parliament, consultation with the people that was promised but never happened, the second votes forced on the Dutch and the Irish, and the implications of that treaty on sovereignty, which I hold quite dear. All of these things (and a fair few others) troubled me.
Then the rather nasty campaign I mentioned earlier, rather swayed me the other way. Maybe I was naive, I would certainly own up to that with respect to party political infighting, but then, a duly elected British prime minister told me quite unequivocally that a vote for leave 'would mean leave the Single Market, the Customs Union and all other institutions of the EU', I thought Yes that will do me.
