People who supported Brexit - do you feel conned?

Are you sure about that mate? You may want to do some more reading, I know I spent days researching before I voted leave.

No. Remainers, do you feel conned that:

1. The 3,000,000 job losses was found out to be a lie
2. The families being £4,300 worse off was found out to be a lie
3. The emergency budget turned in to a lie (and was criticised by Lord King today as being the nadir of the campaign)

No?

There were lies on both sides.

As far as I can see, Boris Johnson vocally supported and ended up leading the EU campaign purely to distinguish himself from David Cameron, have an agenda to support that would get the public behind him personally, and pave his way into No. 10.

I find it highly unlikely that he ever genuinely thought we were better off leaving the EU, and has found himself in a real pickle now that he's unwittingly found himself on the winning side. Like many Brexit voters, all he wanted to do is shake up the establishment and raise his overall voice and profile, not to actually go through with it.

That's why he seems awfully subdued for someone who has just won a campaign, and his statements are now more focused on damage control than about how great a decision the country has made. In particular, forms of damage control that directly contradict what Brexiters voted for.

No. Remainers, do you feel conned that:

1. The 3,000,000 job losses was found out to be a lie
2. The families being £4,300 worse off was found out to be a lie
3. The emergency budget turned in to a lie (and was criticised by Lord King today as being the nadir of the campaign)

No?

There were lies on both sides.

Yes, I'm positive.

So what did you do to prepare?

That image looks as though it was made before the referendum result was confirmed.

Well we haven't actually left the EU yet. So I'd doubt that those things will have happened.

I think that when Article 50 is triggered and we get a better idea of what deal the EU will give us, then we will feel the effects more severely.

But, already - with just the referendum result, we are seeing bad things happen. So no, I don't feel conned. I always thought that this result would end up being a total bloody nightmare.

What, do you want a list of sources?

No, because I voted for reasons not plastered on the side of a bus.

Nobody expected things to change only 5 days after the referendum you patronizing moron, get off your high horse, it was obvious to everyone with a brain that if we voted to leave it would result in short term financial instability and market chaos, it was fully expected. Most people who voted Leave however (the intelligent ones anyway) voted leave with the hope that in the future it will result in a better Britain, short term pain for long term gain.

I voted Remain in the end but I think Britain is fully capable of thriving outside of the EU it all depends on which way the future government take us forward, as to whever we will be better off in the long term outside of the EU.

Alright then, let's go through each of the things that Mr Garrison points out

"Brussels bureaucrats" next to a clown controlling the ship: The bureaucrats are literally controlling the EU, which is the ship. They have done a shameful job, look at Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece and others

"Taxes" : The £350 million a week

"Regulations" : Even though the Brexit movie exaggerated the amount, there are a huge amount of regulations in the EU, to the point where it is starting to strange small business

"Waves of immigration" and Merkel demanding the ship to ride towards the waves: Should be pretty self-explanatory

Doesn't matter if we've left or not, the first 2 got debunked during the campaign by fact/reality check (as did the £350m figure as misleading) and the 3rd one got debunked today ironically by the chancellor himself. So there you have it, 3 of the many lies from the remain campaign - there were lies on both sides, simple as that. It doesn't make it any more acceptable but you cannot call out one campaign for lying and ignore the other.

We're seeing short term economic instability which was completely expected following a leave vote and added to by investors and traders naively banking on a remain vote.

I don't want sources.

I wanted to know what you did because of your research.

Unless, you are saying that you did nothing other than vote leave

It was.
