It is just Tory party rhetoric to show that Brexit is progressing (as it is!)
On this thread just another way of disparaging those who have different opinions to yours and other Remainers who post here.
Happy Christmas EMR.

Indeed, what about them! Oliver Healy had a point -
Brexit campaigner admits he set up second EU referendum petition signed by three million people | The Independent
Edited to add: The relevance is the voting criteria in his petition.
(My machine is driving me mad, forcing me to keep reposting as it keeps saying "connection has been reset". I blame Brexit!

I could keep posting multiple reasons that those who voted to leave have voiced in discussions pre and post the vote.
The majority of which had were not accurate or will change after we leave.
But we are leaving and Brexiters will have to live with their decision but they will no longer have the EU to blame.

But as the saying goes, you can take the UK out of the EU but not the EU out of the UK.

One of the classics which provides a perfect example (& more serious than bendy bananas) was the EU Bass fishing regulations which caused fury among the UK fishing community, fuelled by howls of outrage in the tabloid press but which were introduced by the Commission at the behest of the UK Government - in the words of George Eustice (DEFRA Minister & Brexiteer) "after constant lobbying"
From the Govt. site -
From the Govt. site -
New restrictions on the fishing of sea bass, including the introduction of a minimum catch size, will come into effect from as early as 1 September. This is following action by UK government to protect this iconic and threatened species, Fisheries Minister George Eustice announced today.
