Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

The scenery is pretty attractive where we live but we're technically in chosen "early retirement" until the government either changes their mind on the WASPI front, I reach 66yrs of age or our current funds run out - whichever comes first.

QUOTE FROM BMG RESEARCH:
“However, readers should note that digging deeper into the data reveals that this shift has come predominantly from those who did not actually vote in the 2016 referendum, with around nine in 10 Leave and Remain voters still unchanged in their view.”

So those who either couldn’t or wouldn’t vote, have since been roused from their lethargy.

At least it got a few dozen snowflakes out of bed to tap their i-pads…

Just curious: was leaving the EEA discussed in the run-up to the referendum?

Nothing was discussed other than Leave or Stay. A decision was taken to limit the referendum to 1 simple question.

No discussions or advise was given on implications.

We are now told no sectoral impact analysis has been undertaken, which is a lie.

I am pretty sure those who voted leave wanted a few things (1 or more each)

Complete control over sovereignty - create our own rules
Limited immigrations - stop immigration
Stop paying money into the EU

There wasn’t much more (or I stand corrected) factions within the vote.

I certainly have no recall over the implications of hard or soft.... that came later. No discussions over much else, other than a timescale.
