A year after the EU referendum I am still dejected. I made my views clear before the vote and they have not changed. I have not heard one convincing argument to persuade me leaving the EU is the right choice and I will exercise my democratic right to continue arguing for remain. The entire handling of the referendum and its consequences has been nothing but lies, damned lies and dereliction of public duty by government and parliament.

It isn’t fashionable to claim to be more informed or knowledgeable that the ordinary person and experts have been derided. But what is the ordinary person and what is an expert?  Each is an expert in their own field. I know more about the EU and how it functions than my Dad, but he knows more about quantity surveying than I can imagine.
