What the referendum has shown me – thread, please add your own tweets to it: 1/11
The referendum has shown me Parliament has for too long been allowed to ignore the wishes of the British people and more importantly without any real consequences to them, from expenses to lying under oath there has been one rule for us and a different one for them. 3/11
The referendum has shown me it is OK when politicians call members of the public without any basis “racists” but not the other way round again a different set of standards is constantly but inconsistently applied. 4/11
The referendum has shown me that we are heading into potentially very dangerous territory when politicians believe they can operate above the law and are not being held properly accountable for their actions and that so-called "experts" know nothing worth knowing. 5/11
The referendum has shown me the uncertainty which normally comes to symbolize big changes, has not happened #DespiteBrexit because #Brexiteers are by definition optimists who want the economy to succeed and #Remoaners are cowards who fell for #ProjectFear or who hate the UK. 6/11
The referendum has shown me the #Remain establishment are scared of the people being able to make up their own minds as it means they immediately lose the power to control us. 7/11
The referendum has shown me the Financial Services sector is not concerned at all about #Brexit but is very concerned about the damage a #Corbyn government will do to the city of London, which is why @SadiqKhan is so keen for a #Corbyn government - all part & parcel. 8/11
The referendum has shown me how completely paranoid #Remianers were to the point where they were unable to distinguish between even simple factual statements and the constant lies of #ProjectFear – the EU is an organisation and is not Europe, for example. 9/11
The referendum has shown me how the #EU is not a law based organisation, but just a bully which cannot stand it when it is stood up to, also as @realDonaldTrump has consistently proved, it is also run by completely incompetent technocrats who only look after themselves. 10/11
The referendum has shown me we need a complete overhaul of the two party system of first past the post and we need a new breed of honest politician who puts the country ahead of themselves and are #ForBritain above all else. 11/11
