The people who voted out certainly considered what is happening to them now and what will happen if they stayed IN.

Take out the top 5% and most of the rest are poorer today than they were 15 years ago. This isn't a trend that's slowing down, it's picking up pace.

Study average wages, GDP per capita, tax revenues, Government spending, Government cuts, rising debt and the cost of the ordinary people's living standards. And it's getting worse every year.

So where are the benefits from the EU?

Don't say trade because it was there with the Common Market. Also don't include the money the EU gives to projects in the UK. That's a small portion of the UK's money coming back.

Will the Remain Camp tell us what is so great about the EU? Please.

At the moment many EUpean politicians are working out how to spank the British for breaking ranks. Without hurting their own economies. China has threatened it might take 10 years to set up a new trade deal. That means China will sell less to the UK and the UK will get more in taxes because of a 10% tariff on Chines goods.
