I'm Lawrence.
Yep what pleases me most is that we just managed to get this done in time before the next generation of brainwashed youth grew up and swung a remain majority. Now we can show them that there are alternatives (that actually work) to the left wing clap trap they've been force fed by socialist teachers and lecturers, and save the country from the shithole it was looking like becoming.

Shame he doesn't have the ability to stand up to an Andrew Neil interview. The man believes in nothing but his own ego, he switched sides in the Brexit campaign when he realised he had a chance of becoming PM. Though I of course hope that things do pan out well in our post EU economy, I don't think Boris or his cabinet are the best people for the job. The experts you refer to of course would have chosen not to leave the EU at all, or to have done it in a radically different way, May's deal would have been better for trade. And I'm sorry but as leader of our country I think it makes a huge difference that he isn't upto the job, just look at Trump and what he'd doing to the US.

Unadulterated claptrap - Britain was taken into the Common Market by the Tories.
Basic history lessons for you young chap:
"Sir Edward Richard George "Ted" Heath KG MBE (9 July 1916 – 17 July 2005) was a British politician who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1970 to 1974 and Leader of the Conservative Party from 1965 to 1975. Heath served 51 years as a Member of Parliament from 1950 to 2001. He was a strong supporter of the European Communities (EC), and after winning the decisive vote in the House of Commons by 336 to 244, he led the negotiations that culminated in Britain's entry into the EC on 1 January 1973. It was, says biographer John Campbell, "Heath's finest hour".[1] "

Most economists would agree that giving up membership of a trading bloc which is also our biggest trading partner is a bad idea. Brexit wasn't about economics though, it was partly D Cameron not being able to tame the more right wing elements of his own party, and also that large parts of the UK electorate didn't think they had much to lose, that's why Brexit is mostly popular in economically depressed post industrial areas like Wales and the midlands/North of England. It was also - and this is the bit I like - a kickback against the 'experts', and political correctness, of which the EU seems to epitomise. People don't like being told what to think, and I find remainers as annoying as you seem to, even though I agree with them about not being able to see the economic benefits of leaving the EU. Some of that may sound contradictory, but Brexit isn't the black and white, in or out issue its often presented as. The thing about leaving the EU is how complicated it all is and about how much of our parliamentary time will be taken up with it, and whether in the end it will all be worth it. I do wonder what the Tories will do for those Brexit supporting areas I mentioned? Because their manifesto didn't promise much govt. investment from what I read in the papers. Having more preferential access to the Chinese middle class market would be good, as to how different that would be to what we have now I don't know.
