[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 4354606, member: 2119"] There are those who see Brexit as a disaster because it might end their subsidy payments and it might hit export markets due to imposition of tariffs. There are those who voted for Brexit, ( despite being aware of the danger to their subsidy payments and export markets), because they were so tired of the red tape emanating from Brussels, the silly rules and overly complex schemes. (Just have a read through the NVZ rules for England if you want an example of the sort of overblown incomprehensible nonsense that is churned out by these people, or try getting any sense out of the RPA regarding your subsidy payments or lack of them.) It got to the point with our business where the cost of complying with EU requirements and of participating in their Byzantine environmental schemes just isn't worth the subsidy due to negative impact of schemes and requirements on the business. The game is no longer worth the candle. So we take a gamble and vote for Brexit in the desparate hope that we can sweep away the mess and have a cleaner fresher simpler future even if it isn't quite so cushy for those who basically want money for old rope. We had the choice of either acquiescing in a system that was rotten to the core, paying huge amounts of money out to those who needed it least, or having fresh start. God knows where it will end but we live in hope that it can't be worse that what we are leaving. If the will and ability is there, we can build a better country, but sadly I fear the muddled lukewarm fence sitters have inherited the legacy of the visionary pioneers, and will squander it.
