Why are "Leavers" so angry?

Jaycee, I use it in a very limited way, not to follow discussions. I don't really think it is terribly useful.
People are just firing off comments. It reminds me of the signs of the zodiac. How can anyone divide the whole of humanity into 12 categories.

How can we divide a population into 2 groups and then ascribe various traits to them?

Yes I did read it.
How can anyone be so sure Brexit will be so damaging. The same people who said the economy would be flat on its back by now?
If you were listening to R4 this morning the chief economist stated that the economy is actually in growth, small yes, but when Germany is going into recession and other EU countries are not far behind it seems there are those in the wider world that have confidence in the UK.
With regard to the NE. What do you think will happen to the money that goes to the EU to come back to the NE (after admin charges have been deducted) will go?
It will stay in the UK and will be of greater value because it will be the gross amount without the deductions. The government already knows where current EU funding goes and will doubtless ensure support continues. Indeed as the funding will be handled in country there will be opportunity to apply it in a more bespoke manner rather than complying to the strict and cumbersome EU funding application criteria.

Grapefruitpip That was exactly the point I was making. There are good and bad people on each side. Clever and stupid people on both sides. Bigots and tolerant people on both sides.
I was challenged on that which is why I only responded about one side.
This is why it has been impossible to have rational debate. The spitefulness and bitterness just because people have a different point of view about belonging to a trading bloc.

Joelsnan My MP recently asked the government to give her some idea of how much they would give to the NE to plug the gap left by the withdrawal of EU money. They wouldn't answer.

Well said Jaycee5 ??
