@terrychristian On assumption a genuine Q, I was recently has discussion w/ 6 leavers ( lucky me ! ):

#Leaver1 - Doesn’t mind immigrants here already but doesn’t want anymore: lives in a town with 0.3% immigration .

Is dependent on medication & horrified to find we’re stockpiling & didn’t

@terrychristian understand why it would be necessary until I explained. Became more quiet as convo progressed & asked for info.

#Leaver2 Wants to make own laws . Accepted govt admitted we never lost sovereignty , didn’t know we had veto or how law was made in E.U. with U.K. as participants.

@terrychristian Went on to say lost job as co he works for outsourced to Poland : he was employed in a different way . Was not aware of JIT which the co relies on , now concerned the co will be affected by that & cld lose job .

#Leaver3 unhappy E.U. can make laws U.K. don’t want & used eg of

@terrychristian VAT on boat fuel . Would not accept U.K. can veto laws they don’t want .

Went onto explain JIT & how Nissan etc will of course move & eg American farms will sell U.K. cheap products & wipe UK industries out.

#Leaver3 beloved NHS lie . Very angry , wants #PV & #RemainerNow

@terrychristian #Leaver4 thinks England should be for the English .

#Leaver5 worried polish workers taking jobs . Reliant on NHS as taken ill - appalled when I told them of 4K shortage of NHS staff.#REMAINERNOW

NONE knew Vote Leave has been found to have committed electoral fraud

@terrychristian & thought propaganda had no effect on their decision whatsoever.

NOONE knew of new tax evasion laws being intro’d by E.U. in 2019.

ALL appalled at ferry contract news.

I learned that we #Remain need to talk to people . It’s hard . But it’s the only way we’ll make progress .

@terrychristian Last addendum .

NONE of these people are on Twitter : 3/6 on FB .

#Remain
