    You seem to be missing the point about leaving a political union etc. If you arent sure of anything just pm me and I will help you, save you looking stupid when you post stupid things.

    Mostly the old who were educated before the 80s voted for Brexit. Unfortunately the old politicians mainly didn't agree with them - unless you want Corbyn on the negotiation team?

    That would be the stall with no prices or clear description of sale then?

    Thought so!

    Still works! But that is a Brexiteer analogy.

    A likely bremainer analogy is that the EU is a fluffy bunny that racist Brexiters have despoiled!
