Don’t ignore the facts in Brexit discussions

James Aidan continues to spread the gospel according to rejoiners and accuses those of us wish to deliver Brexit of spreading a ‘fog of fluff and fumble’ and asks for straight replies to questions.

Such questions are a continuous theme but may we please have some answers from outstanding questions first please.

I have asked, in response to various claims of a ‘tumultuous tumble’ a ‘tidal wave’ and a ‘burgeoning rejoin movement’ and the complaint that 48-52 per cent vote was too close to call just what percentage vote would rejoiners accept?

Why was my address relevant to the argument?

There is no mention of points raised about life in the promised land of Europe with virtual anarchy in France, economic woes of the German powerhouse and growing anti EU sentiment in Italy and others.

The abstract picture is painted of GB Ltd being alone in suffering the exigencies of the cost of living crisis, let us not forget that one of the prime movers of this situation was the EU, particularly German, reliance on Russian fuel and its willingness to continue to pour money into the Russian war machine.

Opinion polls are a reasonable steer on matters but are not sacrosanct (2019?), the question is what is the question asked.

Rejoining will of course not be on the terms we left on, joining the Euro, becoming responsible for the debt of other members and of course the EU reticence to accept a country that would have a large proportion of exceptionalism rife in its population together with the absence of our veto.

Factual responses such a Dr Cooper’s last week about trade relations with the EU will doubtless continue to be ignored and facts that do not suit the remain argument are dismissed as ‘obscure sources’.

Again I think this debate will never end until we all accept that we are out and start getting on with it.
