You're better than such victimhood, Rob.
You, like those named (not to mention a certain Jezza Corbs, of course) offered legitimate and measurable reasons to leave. Ones not revolving around perverted patriotism or a race to the bottom in terms of workers', consumer or environmental protections.
Folk still championing those that did, or saying Johnson's 'oven ready deal' isn't the economy hammering failure it's turned out (yeah, who cudda predicted a pathological liar and buffoon would deliver that. Oh, wait...), must explain why for themselves.
Or not, perhaps.
But my current point is about the 'Reform' manifesto. I repeat: how many of those saying they'll vote that way are across their health policy? Their plans to introduce private insurance? The impact of their environmental policy? Allowing those making billions from fossil fuels - or flushing raw sewage into our waters - greater freedoms to do so? Their impact on schools or public services or workers rights...or...or...
Or is it all about immigration. Countless voters who've never met or been effected by an asylum seeker convinced by Farage's racist rhetoric.
This thread offers a golden opportunity to discuss that question...
