Here are 61 reasons why Remainers are fighting to stop Brexit and stay in the EU. (Brexit is nothing like a football match. We can't just "get over it" because we lost. There's far, far too much at stake!)

37. Service providers (e.g. freelance translators) can offer their services to clients all over the EU
38. No UK VAT or duty on imports from the EU (great for online shopping

39. EU citizenship (it's a real thing with real benefits - look it up!)
40. Cross-border collaboration on taxes, to hold huge firms like Amazon and Facebook to account more than we otherwise could
41. Venture capital funding and startup loans

42. Legal protection for minority languages such as Welsh
43. Mutual recognition of academic qualifications

50. Products made or grown in the UK can be sold in 31 countries without type approval, customs duties, phytosanitary certificates etc.
51. Protection from GM food and chlorinated chicken
52. Objective 1 funding for deprived areas and regions

53. Financial services passport, enabling firms in the City to service the whole EU market
54. Strong intellectual property protections
55. University education in other EU countries at "home student" rates (many still have free universities.)

All the above costs just 34p per person per day. Thirty four pence! The UK Government only spends 1% of its budget on our EU membership.

So now you have a crystal clear understanding of why we want to stay.

If you still want to leave, why?
What's in it for you personally?
How has being in the EU harmed you and your family?
What do you stand to gain by leaving?
Are you sure, absolutely 100.00% sure, you'll get it?

BTW, on your way out, can I very gently steer you towards my book? "Slaying Brexit Unicorns" busts two dozen Brexit myths, and examines the reality of no deal and trade on WTO terms. People who've read it seem to like it. 😉 Out now on Kindle & paperback.
