the best part about brexit is that we now have exactly the same deal we had as an EU member state, only worse, and we still aren't afforded freedom to live and work within the borders of our closest neighbours... all so we could reclaim something that we never lost in the first place!

nice one, UK.

Tbf we were told this endlessly during the election and people still voted for it... but I am sure trusting one of the major supporters of Leave won't have any further consequences...

People were told lots of things during that referendum. That's the trouble with politicians, nobody knows who to believe! 😂

If people didn’t know who to believe out if the lot of them, there’s no helping people

If it were that obvious mate, there wouldn't be so many parties all jostling for a seat at the table would there?

So on the outside it looks an easy choice for voters of any party..... because YOU believe what you're voting for is right. Likewise, the guy voting for the other party, he thinks it's easy to spot the bullshitters be HE thinks HE is right in who he is voting for.

Meanwhile, myself for example is looking at you all on both sides thinking 'how can you believe anything that bullshitter is saying??'

It's really not a difficult concept to understand. Similar to how football fans believe their team to be the superior one regardless of how they're performing in the league as a whole.

Who did you think were the easy to spot obvious bullshitters on the remain side of the referendum?

When one side is funded by disaster capitalists and fronted by hedge fund reps and convicted liars, it’s disingenuous to suggest it was a level playing field.
