If you don't agree with "patriots" and their "common sense" regarding asylum seekers, you're stupid or a traitor, and have suicidal empathy.
You must also lodge several asylum seekers.
If you've been to university, you were indoctrinated, and you're stupid.

A large company inter-connected economy is relatively resilient but not dynamic. Our demands for state protection of various sorts continue to grow. With larger trade barriers than all our neighbours our investment attractiveness is reduced.
Little of this is seriously discussed.

I suspect those who put sovereignty high up on their issues list will never want to be part of the EU, and the UK could only return to the EU when a clear majority feels European.
Also because the EU doesn't want a half-hearted UK back.

What if the strongest argument for rethinking Brexit isn't economic at all? What if it's British sovereignty?

Is the best argument for reversing Brexit actually British sovereignty?
Rejoiners like to talk about economics. But Northern Ireland’s fate might be harder to ignore.
