I detect a certain wistfulness in that statement.
If I had voted Leave and (for instance) were to see my kids lose their jobs, the scenes we saw earlier this year with bare supermarket shelves, or my dad unable to get the medication that makes life comfortable directly due to Brexit, would I have regrets?
Damn right I would. And if you wouldn't, there's something wrong with you.
That's already happened with Nissan workers who lost their jobs and bear in mind many families worked there, so i wonder how those employees who voted Brexit see the logic in not only putting their kids out of work, but themselves and quite possibly losing their home too. It beggars belief that anyone of sound mind could think thats brilliant.
It's literally incredible. That people can attach themselves so tightly to a completely false premise, to the extent of throwing their own kith and kin under the bus in order to maintain their own purity of belief, boggles the mind.
They appear to be brainwashed, if ordered by the likes of Farage to drink the Kool Aid they would do so without question even as their friends and relatives begged them not to.
What a fractured country we live in now.
