@KingOfMacedon13 @aev1609 @SamCampling @NSoames @Jacob_Rees_Mogg Like to think Iβm reasonably patriotic, but when every single expert from every field says that everyone, from average Joe to company director will be worse off if we leave the EU, then I believe self-preservation should rule blind loyalty to some out-moded love of your country.

@Sillyshib @EHijacked @GiselaStuart She is a shame on her free-thinking, generous of spirit compatriots. One Angela Merkel is worth a hundred of @GiselaStuart.You took away my son and daughter's freedom! Where do you find the hatred in you to condemn something as positive as nations working together to benefit all.

@RussInCheshire 1Beautifully put Russ. My little anecdote. Broke my nose batting at school. Had to go in hossie as haemorrhaging. Missed Windies v Derbys tour match in Queen's Park Chesterfield. West Indian nurses went to game, took my autograph scrapbooks, got pics signed by that great '76 team.

@JimMFelton @NadineDorries @thetimes What are these people on?! Are they just brainwashed by Dom? Lock down was after the school's closed on Friday 20th after the PM's speech on Thursday 19th I think it was where he implemented lock down from the following Monday. My kids had their last days on that Thursday and Fri.

@NinaParker Many well off people can buy a property worth β¬500k which gets them a Golden Visa, with Citizens rights and the like. At least I know that works in Spain. I'm hoping for the moment that figure drops by 40% and I'll be in! Ironic that the anti EU types are securing their futures!.

@RiffmanDale Great thread John. Such a shame that no-one on the Leave side ever thought RM through the human cost. Each day the perpretators must awaken with a shame that comes with the realisation that it is just as we shouted all along: An unworkable mess for a few off-shore beneficiaries.

@NadineDorries Is it a race though? We're not competing. We're all on the same team v C-19. Please stop feeling the need to reassure me of this greatness simply because one thing the government touches hasn't turned to shit. And I know it's being driven by the NHS anyway.

@GerryHassan As a Remainer I'd have to say that this is nothing to do with Brexit. It's travelling INTO the UK. Even in the days of FoM you'd get queues like this travelling home. Down to underfunding of border service & paying one body to tell you which desk to go to rather than manning it!.
