So Best case scenario... The biggest Brexit financial Backer is offered favourable (below market value) deals that are restricted to only friends of a hostile foreign power...
And yet us Remoaners are the Traitors.
The remoaners are, particularly the ones in the civil service, do not expect you to believe me as I could just be saying this to prove an argument but I know for a cast iron fact that the are civil servants in the foreign office changing reports and trying to reverse the process of leaving the EU.
What is leaving the EU? It is a simple act by a sovereign nation wanting to determine its own future, strike its own trade deals on its own terms and control its own borders(something I am guessing will have to happen eventually within mainland Europe in the future ironically)
As for dodgy businessmen making a bit of side money out of something, well as Blair is one of the chief remainers I am not sure I will bother going down that path. Politicans and business people are some of the most corrupt I have met, maybe a prerequisite for those industries I dont know.
I do know that all the people I know that voted out did so because they wanted to see a more independent nation that they had more control over through elections, immigration was an issue for many particularly in the circle I move in a common comment was "fine if we really have to have mass immigration and the traffic is terrible but why does the EU tells us we have to take in criminals as well"
That is the problem with the EU and it has nothing to do with Prutin of Russia, it is the EU that is overbearing and controlling like a possessive partner instead of a trading block. It is in the founders of the EU who wanted to get rid of nation states. It has a one size fit all philosophy which is rather stupid and does not fit, you do not even have that in nationla government because a national government will know to treat different regions with leniency.
Another common reason for people I knew for wanting to vote out was that they wanted to see Britain strike its own trade deals as the EU is so heavily weighted towards protecting German industry and French farming, would be great for us to buy cheaper food from Africa and help improve the economy out there so perhaps those poor sods would not risk life and limb to get to Europe across the med.
Why does the EU engage in protectionism and stop Britain doing trade deals, our commonwealth friends in Australia and New Zealand are very keen to trade with us. Why does is matter to the EU if we have trade deals with other nations as long as we abide by the standards and rules of the bloc when we sell to it. They care because they are a controlling state that wants all power over individual countries, that has nothing to do with Russia or Putin.
Another concern of mine and people I know who voted out was the comments coming from Brussels and people working for the EU how eventually they wanted to have a European army, to be able to arrest people in different countries while circumventing individual countries laws.
Most scary of all is the talk that they wanted to collect taxes on a European level, from a fairly wealthy country but one that needs a lot of investment in services(transport, schools, health service and armed forces) I do not want to see money being paid into taxes into the EU for them to waste on vanity projects or to give to eastern european countries to build roads and bridges(as happens) or to southern european countries who do not live within their means.
I do not want to see French people get their state pension at 60 while we have to work on till 67 but paying taxes directly into the EU. I do not have the links where the EU politicians were talking about this but I remember seeing a tv programme where they freely spoke that this was the future for the EU and seeing how the EU is eradicating power of countries more and more, I believe them.
None of that had anything to do with Putin or Russia but is how the EU behave. I did not need Cameron after meeting a social media giant(facebook) to extend to the date of getting on the electrol roll for the referendum because they had data to tell them that more and more younger voters were signing up(the young voted remain in the biggest percentage) I did not need cameron or any of his cronies to try and tell me they were subverting democracy for their own political points, it was obvious to see.
As for people making money out of the result of the referendum, Nicholas Soames was in my local newspaper the argus in sussex before the referendum saying how he would make a fortune on the result when we stayed in because of spread bets he had on it. His Grandfather would have been turning in his grave.
None of what happened around Brexit had anything to do with Russia and Putin for me and the people I know who voted out. I know you will not accept that and call us useful idiots. But the cat is out of the bag, if Britain is to stay in the EU as you and so many others want, they Britain really does not exist anymore, the laws will all be made in Brussels, we will not really need Judges, just bots who can read out legislation passed in Brussels.
We will have to accept everything that the EU tells us and the will be nothing we can do about it anymore we will have no power or control of the direction of the country in the future, that is quite 1984 and scary to me. At least now the whole truth is out there, because we can decide whether we are a free country of just a pawn in the ideas of some very unseemly empire building federalists.
