Freedom of movement is the main thing that affects me personally. I am moving to Spain this week, which has had to be brought forward in our plans because of the end of year cut off to take residency.

I am aware that it is possible to achieve residency without living in the EU, and that lots of people do it, but the process is longer and the bar is higher than it is currently, and it is also country specific.

The wider points about “taking back control” were all vague at best, and the issues about money were at best disingenuous, or at worst were outright lies.

We had control of our borders, we always could veto laws, we opted out of a single currency and so any further integration of defence or similar would have been up for debate as well. I believe that we have benefited from the increase in environmental and trading standards, and that we were a stronger player in the market than we will be outside of it. The UK never really took being in the EU particularly seriously - turnout at the European elections was always low, general sharing of information about the EU was poor. If we had wanted to know or to have more of a say then the options were there, We just didn’t take them.

The EU certainly isn’t perfect, but it wasn’t broken. The UK opted to quit as a result of lies and false information, and we will be weaker as a result. It’s caused division in the UK and will lead to the break up of the Union. It’s cost billions already, will cost billions more and will damage the economy.

But maybe I should ask you - what specific laws did you disagree with? What was so bad that quitting the whole thing was the only answer?
