Out of interest, what is your job (assuming you have one) and where are you based?
Yeah I have a job, a pretty good one that takes me all around the world. I'm also under 50 and have been educated past GCSE's so I fit all the remain demographics. Edited by Groat on Sunday 8th September 23:24

What did I lie about?
Your memory isn’t as good as your (self-proclaimed) intellect:“..large manufacturers and banks made a decision to pull out of the UK to the referendum decision.”
I’m sure the US needs you more than the UK so don’t rush back! Perhaps you can share your great intellect with the President, he’d appreciate that.

So you benefit from easier travelling etc. Yet seem to fail to understand a lot of the population loses out as their low paid jobs have salaries depressed by easy migration (others willing to work for less). At the same time house prices/rents are pushed up at same time from the same migration. I’ve benefited from EU, but to say it’s only idiots who voted for Brexit is an excellent way of marking yourself out as a bit stupid IMO. They have their own reasons for voting, and it’s not just they’re too stupid. NRS said:

It’s the silent revolution that the British do so well amdnis much more preferable to the mainland way of burning stuff or ultimately murdering people. It’s the fools’ argument to write off the 52% as fools when the most important thing is to sideline the rankings of the fools on both sides and clear the decks to actually see why so many people opted for what was always going to be a difficult transition, as you say.
A clearer way to look at the non fool elements is to possibly argue that the 52% is comprised mostly of people with nothing economically to lose and those who are sufficiently economically secure, versus a 48% who are hocked to the eyeballs and with weak economic foundations with much to lose from an economic downturn.
Either way, Alastair Campbell has said one correct and honest thing in his life which was: ‘ Never allow the public to actually have a vote on genuinely important matters.’

Another claim of yours that doesn’t stand up to basic scrutiny. Do you have this problem a lot?
You seem very keen to call people idiots but very reluctant to explain your own qualifications and job. Why is that?
Wow, you are one of the most objectionable contributors I've ever experienced on here. You seem very keen to call people idiots but very reluctant to explain your own qualifications and job. Why is that?

How right he was!! There was only one way this was going to go..I spoke to someone the other day who said maybe if we leave the EU we can stop "all these immigrants flooding in and keep Britain British"
And another person said maybe if we remain we'd be better off because "Europe is too big to fail"
To be honest I think a portion of the voting public had no real idea what they were voting for either way. It didn't help that there was misinformation on both sides.

Doesn’t really answer the question.However, you still chose to make stupid and incorrect statements about something you clearly don’t know much about, then tried to ‘double down’ when your lies were highlighted. Which made you look a bit of an ‘idiot’.
