They probably saw the Boris Bus and listened to Nigel Farage
She also lives there and can see it.
The problem for the Brexiteers is that we haven’t Brexited enough. There is more support now from that section of the electorate for a hard Brexit than ever before.
Of the undecided, they have seen the bullying nature of the EU first hand over Northern Ireland, the NI Protocol and how trade borders in France have been politically weaponised to deliberately disrupt trade - an illegal move incidentally and completely against the WTO rules (and out WTA incidentally)
If the remainers, there are now a fair portion of them who would want to leave the EU over the treatment of the UK during the pandemic, and in particular, the EU nationalising vaccines and putting a hard border between the EU (Republic of Ireland) and the UK (Northern Ireland). Also breaking the Good Friday Agreement. Also, the remainers who voted leave because of Project Fear, have now seen every prediction was a complete lie, the economy didn’t crash, 800,000 people didn’t get put out of work etc and will now have the confidence to vote Brexit.
The hard remainers will never change - no matter what happens in the EU.
Finally, immigration - the overwhelming majority of the UK want us to control illegal immigration. We got back control over our borders on Brexit Day (Jan 31 2020) but the government hasn’t controlled them. With EU membership, this would be a continuation of open borders and even worse, we would have to join the Euro.
So no - there isn’t more support for EU membership, unless ofcourse you do a poll among rich people in Metropolitan London.

Yep, but in some situations, by the time you have gathered enough “evidence” the sh1t had already hit the fan
50 years of membership wasn’t enough ?
Why should I research something that you posted unsubstantiated? Someone else did that for you and I thanked her.
Yes, I do have my own opinions but, unlike you, I don’t try to ram them down everyone’s throat at every opportunity without showing from where those opinions are formed!
Also, I’m always interested in the opinions of others if they can support them by facts, which you failed to do.

Literally a 2 second search. And for clarity this is information not opinion.
Then why didn’t you use it to support your opinion in the original post? A proper debater shows from where they have garnered their viewpoint they don’t expect others to do that for them! Lazy or what …?
I’m sure what you meant to type was ‘thank you for sharing’
Nope.
Julian Jessop, Economics Fellow at free market think tank Institute of Economic Affairs, told Express.co.uk: "The increase in trade frictions after Brexit has made life more difficult for the food sector, especially smaller firms and those reliant on migrant workers. Nonetheless, there is little evidence of a significant impact either on overall activity or inflation.
"Food prices have actually risen by less in the UK than in the rest of Europe since the vote to leave the EU, and the latest annual rates of food price inflation are very similar. Global factors are overwhelmingly to blame for higher food prices.
"Many millions of EU citizens still have the right to live and work here in the UK and extra visas are available for seasonal workers. The fallout from the pandemic has had a far bigger impact on labour supply.
“The Government could still do more to lower food prices by using Brexit freedoms to reduce barriers to trade with the rest of the world. Ironically, this is being made harder by opposition from lobby groups - such as the NFU - which put the interests of producers above those of consumers.”
Mr Hands starts his trip in South Carolina, where he will sign the UK’s third trade Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with a US state.
Last year South Carolina bought £1.4billion of goods for the UK.
It is hoped the MoU will help to address state-specific trade barriers unlocking opportunities for UK firms to expand overseas and attract investment.
Mr Hands said: "These MoU’s with US states can cover areas vital to the UK, from tech and renewable energy to financial and professional services.
"We’re engaging with the US at every level - federal, state and local - to increase opportunities for UK businesses.
“Whether it’s successfully securing an expansive removal of Section 232 tariffs on imports of UK steel and aluminium into the US, signing MoUs with individual states or seeking recognition of professional qualifications, the UK is focused on delivering for British businesses and consumers.”
The MoU focuses on key sectors such as automotive - including electric vehicles - and life sciences.
All these deals, deal or no deal is simpler, and more to the point.
Is there corruption in the EU? Of course.
Is there corruption in Westminster? Clearly.
Your point?
I somehow fail to see a brexit benefit in this. Can you help please?
Oh no, it seems there are no benefits. at least nobody can name any.
however, good look to anybody, everything will remain fantastic!
We won’t know for a long time whether it was the worse mistake Britain made or the best decision it made. The deed is done and I doubt there is any going back so it is what it is.
There are no immediate benefits that is for sure but ask again in a decade’s time.

What were the benefits of remaining? same question, same result.
