‘Disrespecting my vote’

“It’s become an absolute joke,” said Green, who is unemployed for medical reasons, as he stood outside the Bridges main shopping centre. “It’s disrespecting my vote completely. Myself and my whole family voted for us to come out,” he said.

“The MPs need to get their heads down and get us out.

“I just want it over and done with because I’m sick of hearing about Brexit,” he added.

Strolling along Roker Beach, 67-year-old Brian Halse said: “It’s just a shambles. I did vote for Brexit. I would like us to go out. I think we’re better off by ourselves.

“I like [Prime Minister] Theresa May but nobody’s backing her the way they should. We should all stick together and go out the best way we can.” —
