Don't you know how to use Google? There are loads of websites about swimming pools and everything you need to know about them. 

To be fair, I've just moved into a new house and I have similar questions about my pool. It makes a lot of sense to ask for local know-how rather than clickbait-ridden Google garbage - some of that info is completely inappropriate for the Thai climate.

Well done. You won. Now deliver on all the promises that you guys made to get that win.

See this is where the real work begins. You will no longer be able to blame anyone but yourselves when the realities of what you have won start to emerge.

In 5 years time I suspect many of you are going to be wondering just what the hell you actually did.

I didn't make any promises and if you believe that those who demanded Brexit subscribed to the political rhetoric during the Brexit campaign, you are misguided. You are right; this is indeed where the work begins and let us see where the EU is in five years time, crippled by its inequitable currency, bogged down in endless bureaucracy and wholesale inertia against economic development. Pitch that against the world's 5th biggest economy able govern its own tax legislation, global trade deals, free-floating currency and arguably the biggest financial powerhouse on the planet. Unencumbered by EU regulation the UK stands to expand its economy in fisheries, pharma, agriculture, technology, energy and countless other dependant industries.

Yep, we won. The UK won.

It's interesting that this thread has elicited so many of the stale tropes and irrational stereotypes attributed to the 'Brexiteer'. What should be remembered is that Brexit was driven by a mass movement of a largely silent majority; while the BBC and many other media outlets portrayed them as 'swivel-eyed loons', racists and those fawning over memories of a forgotten empire, there was a significant proportion of the UK who did not protest, did not shout outside Parliament but had a vote. And they used it.

The reality is that Brexit came to pass because sovereignty, self-determination and a meaningful vote were, to majority of British citizens, rights that should be retained. This was evident in the referendum and was patently reiterated in the recent general election - i.e. the 'peoples' vote' AKA 'the second referendum'.

In the face of an onslaught of negativity from Project Fear v1.0 & 2.0, that same silent majority held firm and voted that a period of negative economic pain was a price worth paying for democratic freedom. 

The irony is that a bunch of stupid Marxist idiots who governed an essentially Remain party precipitated a landslide that made Brexit utterly inevitable. The Marxists will be glad but the Labour Party now has very little support outside its cohort of shouty Momentum trolls.

Brexit is happening because there was a majority who voted for it, that's democracy.
