I voted leave and would do so again. We are now (supposedly) a free country now and can trade with anyone we wish to and build a great independent country again. It will be a bumpy ride for a few years but in time our economy will boom. Also with the way the eu are heading i dont think it will benefit us, just my opinion. They want a single economy for all countries in it with single eu army etc. If we had stayed part of that lot then the london stock exchange would have gone to frankfurt and we would have no control over anything. Also every country in the eu has different economies and the dictators of the eu want a single economy but i dont believe a one size fits all works. Whats good for one country will not be good for another. If they stayed with the original idea of a group of countries in an agreement to free trade with each other that would have been fine. What i said now is just my opinion, could be wrong or could be right but it is just my opinion.

@kinkymale I'd like to believe that; I really would.

@SW-User that we are free country? i would like to believe that too. Another thing i dont take kindly too is to be told i am no longer british but european. I am welsh first and foremost and british 2nd. even on application forms under nationality, british is not there, its european including uk. I have always ticked other and either put welsh or british.

@kinkymale Well I'm British/Irish and therefore very pleased that I have an EU passport and that any kids I may have will therefore be able to live and work in Europe.

@kinkymale No country is truly "free" whatever that means, but we were a lot freer in the EU than a lot of people realise. We had the power of veto and could opt out of things like the Euro. We have completely squandered any freedom we had, particularly with trade.
It's already evident that we're desperate for trade deals and that Boris will jump through whatever hoops a country demands in order to get one. It also seems increasingly clear that the delta variant is so prevalent here because Boris refused to close the borders to India in order to get his deal done to prove that Brexit worked. That doesn't sound like "freedom" to me.

@SW-User hi samphire. from what i have read over the years if we had voted to remain in 2016 then we would have been forced to adopt the single currency and go hook line and sinker into the eu. I honestly believe that once a lot of crap has been sorted we will be great again. Yes it will be a bumpy ride for whatever reasons, but long term we will be fine.

@kinkymale Well you must have been looking at a lot of "fake news" Leave websites just before the Brexit vote. We would never have been "forced" to adopt the Euro, just as Denmark and Sweden would not have been "forced" either.
And again, I would like to believe that we will be "great" again, but I think it's going to take a long, long time before all this "crap", which was predicted well in advance, has been sorted.
