No such group now as Bournemouth for Europe - it morphed into Dorset for Europe, which is thriving, so personal views here.

I think it was only projected onto our television sets, not onto the Eye itself, but quite a good effect anyway.
Don't you find it odd that there appears to be no record of such a significant decision?L

Hey remainers. We’ve really got to STOP saying we voted for this outcome.
Don’t give that lie any credibility.
1. **we** didn’t.
2. It was an advisory referendum.
3. Every democratic exercise after Brexit showed declining and minority support for Brexit supporting parties.

I can’t read the article, but if it’s talking about the SPS agreement, the idea that a large and technically complex arrangement of this sort could be negotiated in a few months was never plausible. David Henig estimated 3 years to negotiate and at least one to implement. No quick fixes.

Absolutely. But really, when you think about it, FOM is essential to make the other 3 freedoms useful. A seller of goods needs to be able to service them: needs FOM for people. An investor needs to be able to put people into his new factory: needs FOM. A professional wants serve clients in the EU.

“Move on” is rarely advice for healing.

Brexit is often discussed as a moral drama.
In reality, it’s an administrative disaster with human consequences.
