Thread Name: BS: Feelings = Facts
Subject: RE: BS: Feelings = Facts
I can only speak for myself (I would never suggest other voters 'fell for a pack of lies') and I voted Leave after much thought, discussion with my friends and consideration of everything put before me (all sources, both sides of the matter) I am old, and have therefore experience of living in this country for many many decades. I also reflect often on my late father's views (He served during WW2, and was an extremely wise man) I find it rather insulting and arrogant when someone suggests I was duped 'by a pack of lies', or that the cost of being in the EU was my only point of reference for voting as I did.
Everyone knows the whole issue was/is very complex and difficult to grasp. There were many points for and against leaving. I am capable of evaluating and assessing what various politicians and economists have said. I am not stupid.
I had a vote and I used it, which in a democracy such as ours I had every right to do.
I don't regret how I voted at all. And I was thrilled when it became apparent that Brexit had won.
