Leave supporters voted against the status quo in 2016. Therefore Leave voters (including you) were the party arguing for changes to the Ireland / Northern Ireland border (in and amongst all the other changes brought about by Brexit). Not Remainers, who were the party arguing to keep that border as it was (in and amongst everything else they wanted to keep as it was). Man up and own your success: you knew what you were voting for. After 31st December, I don't expect many Leave voters to openly admit that they voted Leave. I'll not let you wait until 31st Dec. I voted 'Leave' along with 17,410,741 others.

I am proud to have voted Leave too. Against all the odds, plucky little Leave took on the massed forces of the global capitalist Remain establishment. And won.

Car Boot Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 The Leave vote was, in reality, a revolt against the rich. We took on the might of the global capitalist establishment, ducking and diving about with all sorts being flung at us. We didn't do it because we wanted the status quo. We wanted change. We knew it wouldn't be easy. We knew it would be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U.K. companies are turning to cheaper overseas labor to complete their post-Brexit customs paperwork, creating jobs in countries such as Romania and India due to a shortage of trained staff in Britain.
