His look just like the eyes he gave the woman in the comic . Projection much ? <| sep |> Really ? Wow I never even thought of that . Well I guess there ' s always someone who finds a problem with everything . Shame But they turned out great I think , put a smile on my face <| sep |> Isn ' t it by definition ' outward looking ' to be looking into trade outside of the EU bloc ? The EU was actually doing this . And the last time I checked we are still a nation of multiple ethnicity and cultures , everybody didn ' t just bugger off overnight . TrueSome people don ' t like the idea of a closer , introverted EU . They see Greece , Italy , Spain Portugal whose failure absolutely cannot solely be attributed to the EU and they think ' well why is that our responsibility ' since the benefits of being in the EU aren ' t as blatant as when things go royally tits up Syrian Migrant deal with Turkey for instance . Nuance ! I really must thank you for this , so few people look at this through shades of grey . One thing I will add to this is that we have a veto and a bill in place that should ever closer union attempt to happen a referendum is called . Finally , and this is just my opinion , In a lot of people ' s eyes the EU represents globalisation , reshoring corporate shysterdom . The referendum was a protest vote at stagnation , blue collar industry job losses and the massive disparity between income in the city and pretty much everywhere else . I agree with this , but the EU isn ' t at fault for the majority of this . Our government is . It doesn ' t do to call everybody calling leave an idiot , and everybody voting remain a weakling since both sides have valid points . There are idiots on both sides , calling them idiots for their idiotic views is just par for the course , its just some on both sides hold on to it as if its something new in political discourse , it isn ' t , but outrage serves as a motivator . What I ' d love to see is everybody simply agreeing that the decision has been made and should be respected yes it was tight , much like the indyref , and that we all need to present some sort of united front since we are now facing off against 2 or 3 strong countries who would like to take a lot more of our jobs over the next 1015 years . The problem is no decision has been made , its just muddy water . I could suggest that only 37 % of the eligible voters of this country voted to leave , that does not make a mandate , you could then suggest that those who didn ' t vote shouldn ' t have a say , I say that isn ' t democratic and we go around in circles . We don ' t know what was voted for . Each individual leave voter may have an idea but most of my conversations with people not included in political discussion are I asked the older generation what they thought , I was told to vote leave , I just picked one . Genuine replies to me from educated people who were so apathetic to the entire thing that they didn ' t give it a second thought . If the ref was more nuanced and included a broader choice than I could agree with your line of lets get on with it but we don ' t know what there is to get on with . Brexit means brexit doesn ' t actually say what brexit means , our government is in chaos and cannot agree with one another , they are trying to play politics with the entire thing while we suffer . The ramifications of a hard brexit are too much , soft brexit whatever that is seems more plausible . Being part of the EEA , retaining free access to the single market , free movement , passporting and so on is the best course but then what was the point of the vote in the first place if all we do is give up our ability to control the EU from the inside which is why this is so frustrating , there is no point .
