Ok the remainers on here have had their twopen'orth....and what a miserable lot they sound....how about some pro-leavers stepping in and putting a more positive view?

They don't see it Jura2 because they are blinkered and will never admit they may be wrong. Even when it all does go wrong it will not be blamed on Brexit but they will find another scape goat.

Indeed - how anyone cannot see that by now, is just beyond me.

ERG have never wanted a Deal- and pushed for Leave to avoir new EU Directives on Tax Havens and Tax Evasion - it is crystal clear. Now just going through motions, pretending - knowing full well the EU just cannot drop the backstop- and cannot give the UK a 'cake and eat with all the trimmings' deal that would put other EU members at a clear disadvantage.

Surely nobody believes that the rich right wingers pushing for Brexit are doing it for altruistic reasons? These men and women see an opportunity to grow their assets and they’re taking it - and to hell with the rest of us.

JRM apparently thinks it would be fine to import our food.

Saw this today, and I <3 it

I am NOT a TRAITOR, I care deeply about my country's fate and future prosperity

I am NOT a REMOANER - I am alert about the dire warnings given by experts in all fields

I am NOT a PESSIMIST - I can see al the advantages of being a strong EU partner

I am not BETRAYING a PESSIMIST but I am really worried about my country losing its traditional values of tolerance, acceptance and diversity

I will not be silenced by far right anti EU propaganda machine - never.

Michael Gove has admitted that a mass cull of lambs would be necessary after a no deal Brexit as the market for them would have disappeared .Didn't hear that on MSM !! I believe thats whats changing Welsh farmers minds about their leave vote ,that and th fact the subsidies they got from the EU WONT be replaced by Westminster .Brexit ..the gift that keeps on giving!!

That's no surprise though is it while JRM does the Little Lord Fonterleroy act and says nice things about nanny he is quietly making another fortune on the back of this countries problems.

So one of Boris’s donors, a Brexiteer, is betting against British firms post Brexit.
A lot of the most wealthy and by that, most powerful, pro-Brexiteers have made a lot of money out of this whole sorry mess.
