Pros and cons of the Brexit promised land

As a resident of France for the last 11 years, and having had a house here for nearly 28, I am disappointed by many Remainers’ attitudes here to other residents who voted Brexit, of which I am one. They automatically assume that every other person present is anti-Brexit and they descend into platitudes and sometimes insults such as: we are stupid, we only thought about immigration, we had no idea what we were doing, little Englanders wanting to go back to the Empire Days, what about my children?, etc.

I don’t know anyone who would say that they were 100% one way or the other. I totally accept I may be wrong in my concerns but so may Remainers be wrong in their views. I voted as much for Europe as for my own country. So please give us some credit. I am pro-Europe and I researched and thought hard about my vote.

Interesting to read the [online] article about the possibility of starting a Brexit party, as I believe a large proportion of the people who voted to leave would now wish to change their minds, to stay.

I believe Brexit is rather like the story of the King’s invisible suit. Where everyone is conned into saying how marvellous the promised land will be, until enough people say it does not, and will not, exist. Hopefully, sooner rather then later, i.e before we are taken over the edge, by a party that seems to have lost all sense of reality.
