THE THINGS THEY SAID


I know it's a bit late but I read an awful lot of rubbish about Brexit, usually written by Brexiteers who even now can't accept the whirlwind they have unleashed on us. However, I don't want their predictions to be forgotten, so I plan to add articles or quotations so in the future we can look back and perhaps remind them of what they said.
