Tearing the country apart this thing and we haven't left yet .

I think this sums up the arrogence of many brexiteers. There is a misguided assumption that Britain are benefactors and, in return, Europe owes us a living.

Arrogance? Misguided assumption?
So we are not net contributors to the EU then
So we only paid off the massive loan in 2006[I think that was the date] we owed to the USA for the war debt of over £21 billion although the USA made a very tidy sum from lend leasing to many nations
But you're right mate Europe owes us bugger all as I think is amply demonstrated in our Brexit negotiations even freezing us out of the Galileo space satellite progamme in spite of us already having contributed about £1.6 billion

Bingo...youve nailed it in one. Strengthened my argument and no need for me to reply.

Strengthened it by mistaking arrogance for fact you mean .

[rolymiller]

..and your party are all in agreement?

[KerrAvon]

I don't have a party, Roly.

You have to admit that there is a striking disconnection between the Labour leadership - who are moving towards a further referendum - and the grassroots, who seem to want a treason prosecution for anyone who even thinks about one.

It would be chaos if Labour got into power and had to square that circle.

..,ok I'll play your game ..and the tories they are all in agreement?

You weren't expecting an answer were you Roly?

[KerrAvon]

Do you not watch the news, Roly?
