It's amazing that after two months there is still disagreement about why we voted the way we did. I read that we voted leave to regain control of our borders (Farage et al). Some people (Bojo and Daniel Hannan for example) think it was all about sovereignty. Now Jeremy Warner in The Telegraph (HERE) is telling us it was all about free trade.
He says Theresa May should reassure the G20 when she meets them later this week that Britain voted "for the advancement of free trade, not against it".
This again highlights the problem. No one knows what Brexit means - except Mrs May perhaps who thinks it means, well .. Brexit. There you have it. What a shambles. There are bound to be tears when 80% of the population find out what Brexit means for them.
Those who voted because they thought migrants were driving down wages will be ecstatic to know that they will now be competing in world markets with folks from India (Per capita annual income about $1500). No doubt Mr Warner will be able to explain all that easily down at The Dog & Duck.
