says the person who voted out

I've stated my reasons for voting Out before, based on my own study of the subject albeit a few years ago, and the general failure of the Remain campaign to convince me otherwise. You, on the other hand, voted Out because you blame foreigners for your own failings in life.

we dont have any say in the standards for our exports to USA and China so that is normal
Nearly half our exports go to the EU
Perhaps. It seems to have only been taken seriously by the remainers and was ridiculed before the vote anyway. If anything, it's biggest impact would have been to shift some waverers to remain.
That is not logical Captain
 
It possibly did, but not as I suspect you're claiming.

The only people that seem to have paid any heed to it are remainers. If anything, it bumped up the remain vote. Seemingly they're the only ones fool enough to think the campaign was a political party in a position to deliver.


So the Leave campaign paid for that bus to tour the country, and arranged numerous photo ops with Boris and Nige, in order to bump up the Remain vote? Just how ****ing stupid must they be in that case?

A problem with this thread is that people try to oversimplify things, so that if you vote out, you have one set of attributes, and voting remain leaves you lumped with others.

It betrays their limitations as the situation is more complex than that.

If you say so. snowflake

I think they've all agreed it was a mistake. It's just the remoaners that seem to need to try and rehash it and ignorantly lump Farage in. even though it was sod all to do with his campaign.

I would like to think that Hull meant that this slogan was pretty much descredited long before the vote. The remain party should have been able to use that as ammunition, but failed to do so.

There were loads of reasons for voting In or Out. There are some extremely bright people who voted Out and some morons who voted Remain. However you split the population there will be some people on each side.

However, if someone's one motive for voting Out was a dislike of foreigners, they are undoubtedly thick.

Yep. I'd add that anyone that noticed it, would have been liable to have found the campaign untrustworthy, and voted for remain. I can't think of anyone that voted leave on the strength of that direct quote. I suspect people would consider the general principle that we could spend any money saved on our own projects.
 
why was it a lie?
1 they were not in a position to make the decision
2 we will still be paying contributions for another two or more years
3 it was a suggestion that we could use the money to finance the NHS if we so decided

Good grief! How many times do you need to be told that we do not send £350million to the EU every week.

True, voting remain can hurt far more foreigners. <ok>

Which is why you refer to "the gang" and "Remoaners"?
