Anon @ 16:36, you will of course however admit that much of the immigration that caused concerns that led to the support for Leave was immigration from outside the EU?

We need to address immigration in the round without the PC squeamishness and fear of being called racist or xenophobic (no idea if there is a parallel in Norse or OE for the 'freemen of the land') and no doubt the inability of the political elite to do so for decades fueled resentment which was then exploited (or at best left to fester).

But to rely on that alone demonstrates the paucity of the argument that you have, let us look at the evidence saying 'Brexit is Bad', erm in statistical terms everyone.

Saying (and I paraphrase) the EU isn't perfect therefore we must leave is a false nirvana paradox and a rhetorical device best left to those who never would have a better argument.

Remember the Brexiter's mantra 'no deal is better than a bad deal': well the fact they've stopped repeating this should tell you rather a lot.

We have three choices, chaotic no deal (no prospect this will get through the house) May's deal (my unicorn has more chance of winning the Grand National on current forecasts) or no Brexit.

While the EU is (like our City and County Councils and Parliament) far from perfect it is better than a chaotic no deal with no transition.
