Boris Johnson

Which is why I still don't regret Leaving for a second. If the only only way an institution believes it can survive is by acting against our, and its own interests then it's not an institution I'd like to be part of. It does sum up why both Greece and Italy remain members after their appalling treatment by the EU. Me? I'd prefer to get out of a bad marriage than carry a grudge for decades.

Exactly the problem in a nutshell - complete misunderstanding of the reason for a common market. When we were in it we were protected and could manage our production and sales against the global competition that could have wiped out our production given the chance. 

We've just created our own little common market in the UK now. Same shit, smaller market, less customers.

The Single Market was amongst Dear Margaret's finest hours. I didn't know you were such a fan.

My reasons for leaving were to do with all the other shit she complained about.

And therein lies another problem, you're still playing team politics. I have no problem with items, such as the single market, that were brought in (and in fact instigated) by Tories because they were good for the UK. Ultimately trashing that because we couldn't have it all our way has left us in a position of having less than we did and making us poorer as a nation - it's simply stupid.

Brexit was always going to be a disaster for the UK because we were so embedded, it was the medical equivalent of removing a tumour that was attached to the main arteries - Good news is we got the tumour out, bad news is the patient died. 

Congratulations on everything you have won.
