I live in the South East of England, and this issue is massively complex.

Rant, Rant, Rant, really sorry but the last few days have really surprised me!!!

I voted and have since followed it on the news and social media. Its about so many issues and I am amazed its being painted as a racist vote to leave.

But in short. The working class feel their pay has been slowly reduced by an increase in workers from other EU countries willing to work for a lower wage. Which has gradually reduces peoples options and lead to a tougher jobs market and a reduction in earning.

Yes migrating population from other EU countries have always been welcome in the UK. I know some of them and work with them. They are good people. But the open border has between the UK and EU has seen a big increase in EU members just looking for housing, benefits and free health care. Now I am starting to sound like a racist, sorry.

But there are many more issues.

Restrictions by the EU on Fishing, where and how much workers can fish. What Farmers can grow and the shape of the product.

How curvy bananas are, apparently no one likes them too curvy.

How powerful or noisy a lawnmowers, vacuum cleaner, or hedge cutter can be, among many countless other regulations.

All of which have been agreed by a very distant EU commission, which has then passed the ruling to the UK Government without any real negotiation. Sure they try to hold them off a little. But in the end they only agree a small amnesty then allow the new law to pass. All laws enacted by an EU ruling body that no one in he UK elected or can vote out.

All for which the UK contributes around £330 million a week to be a member of.

But there are many, many benefits. Free trade, free movement between borders for UK citizens. Employment options in other countries, a good exchange rate, favourable markets for UK investment.

But in the end the UK working class felt a little downtrodden but the UK Government and the fact they always back down from the EU.

Scotland's vote is another long issue.

And to be honest most UK people thing Trump is a bit of an idiot, a rich one, but still an idiot!!

Which he really summarised when he visited Scotland yesterday and proclaimed,

"You people have taken your country back".

Not realising that Scotland wanted to stay in the EU and not Leave!
