Are you actually suggesting that if we hadn't joined the common market none of the above would have been brought in by a UK Government??????
It is not all true anyway because I enjoyed paid holidays long before we joined.
We joined the common market, nothing more nothing less, and were assured that it would not progess into the United States of Europe or would interfere with individual national sovereignty etc etc etc. We were lied to, manipulated, charged vast sums of money, controlled and generally step by step had our sovereignty eroded. They even wanted us to ditch the pound. That was not what was envisaged, which was a common market. Why we left was the fact that sensible people could see or had actually witnessed this ideal of a community ruled from Brussels and said no more, enough is enough. Freedom of movement played a part in some people's decision to vote leave but it was by far not the main reason. Some of us witnessed it from the start. When we left it was nothing like what we had been sold. So we left. Those who were involved don't need the lies and propaganda spouted by people like you Jamie. WE WERE THERE.

We had most of Jamie’s list before we bleedin joined…even clean air started in the very early 60’s….what a plonker

Most of the rights of employees wouldn’t have been granted if we hadn’t been in the EU Snowy.
Snowy answer me one question what have the benefits of Brexit been and don’t say we are £350 million better off. Rees Mogg couldn’t understand why you should be paid when you were on holiday, the Conservatives were in the process of removing workers rights, tbh you have no idea, you need to stop reading The Telegraph, Express, TheMail or what ever right wing rag you read and stop watching GB News and listening to Farage.

Thank you Commissar Jameski comrade for enlightening an humble ignoramus like me who fell off the path of EU righteousness.
So kind of you to point out the error of my ways and admonish me for failing to see the light of eternal wisdom you bring to this board from your Brussels’s pent house to uneducated, brainwashed enemies of the all powerful EU like me and would like to take this opportunity to tell you you can fuck right off …you snob.

Go on Go on Go on Go on Go on Go on....just 1.

just what was the point in voting to leave anyway when the vast amount in parliament were against it and we would never see a benefit in leaving die to that. plus it has made referendums on any other issue now more or less dead in the water as we;ll never get another chance or even use our vote against the political establoshment.
