Just sort it, we’re sick of Brexit fiasco
WITH the celebrations of Wales’s Six Nations rugby triumph over, the people of Cwmbran came back down to earth.
Yesterday they were unified by something else – utter frustration with Britain’s Brexit fiasco.
Residents of this valleys town, part of a safe Labour seat, voted 59.8% to 40.2% to leave the EU.
Now Leavers and Remainers just want the deadlock over.
Retired housekeeper and Remain supporter Lynda McAnsh, 68, said: “Bloody Brexit, I’m sick of hearing about it.
“We are getting nowhere fast. If I had my way we would stay in – I think there’s safety in numbers.
“I just want it settled now, I want to draw a line under it one way or the other.”
Leave-supporting fruit and veg seller Kevin Beckett, 52, said: “We’re no closer to finding out what’s happening than we were two years ago.
“I don’t know if MPs should vote for Theresa May’s deal or not but I just want it sorted.”
Castaways fish and chip shop team leader Claire Jenkins, 43, said: “I voted out so I’m frustrated with the way it’s going. MPs are out of touch.”
And retired factory worker Jeff Bishop, 71, said MPs “should all resign, the lot of them”.
The Leave voter explained: “What’s the point of having a referendum? They haven’t listened to us. The referendum said ‘out’ but all they have done is argue among themselves, for themselves.
“It’s unbelievable. Business don’t know what’s going to happen, whether it’s in or out.”
