What I found most interesting is the Nissan workers ignored politicians and their company bosses reasoning that they were such a good workforce that Nissan dare not stop production in Sunderland.

Posts 167 and 181 - relax! It's a minority, it doesn't do that viewpoint any credit and in any case the question was clear - do you want the UK to leave or remain in the EU, and so was the answer - leave.

Post 184: didn't follow that - of the electorate who expressed a preference, more said leave than said remain.

That is simply untrue, polls show that in a new referendum Leave would win.

It's certainly only speculation, even ignoring what polls may suggest (and their track record seems somewhat tarnished of late). Personally, I doubt it's true (that significant numbers of people who voted 'Leave' now wish they had voted Remain). Given "Project Fear", the portrayal of the consequences of an 'out' vote by both sides of the argument, whatever you want to term it - and irrespective of whether those portrayals were accurate or not, I think one can argue that the referendum question put to the electorate amounted to 'Do you want the UK to leave or remain in the EU given any conceivable scenario?'

I have not changed my mind and have yet to come across anyone else who has changed their mind.
Going by the comments emanating from the EU and the remainers I am even more convinced my out vote was the right way to go.

It is debatable whether freedom to cross borders is a good thing.
Fine if you are from a poor country trying to earn more to send home to your family, not so good if the indigenous people of that country see their wages gradually eroded by a migrant cheaper workforce.

I suspect Mr Dixon may have been alluding to visiting Eurodisney or some such. Tourists from abroad put money in our collective pockets.

In the days before the EU was formed I travelled in Europe with a passport but no visa except in the "Iron Curtain" countries. I cannot see this "EU citizen" bit changing things and we will still need a passport.

Which is why I think freedom to cross borders is a good thing. Beats the attitude of 'the French or whoever' hands down.
