Because the people who tend to find the answers in history have tended to be sceptics. Challenge everything within reason.

Irish border and freedom of movement - basically incompatible.
Businesses responsible for employing hundreds of thousands and big money in tax receipts leaving the UK.
The racism that Brexit has unveiled.
The funding issues. The EU funds so much here and we may well be a lot worse off than £350M (false figure anyway) per week in tax receipts.
Britain having to abide by some regulation from Brussels for the purposes of trade but no longer having a say in shaping that regulation.
Science and investment in industry held back by lack of labour and no more EU investment.

So out of all these worries its really only about getting Eire and the Northern Irish to sort out how they want to run their border.........

Do you remember a few pages ago a certain poster claiming he gets attacked all the time but doesn't say anything out of turn.
Well PG has been called an asshole creeper And a puppy who follows along in the last couple of pages.

@Joey66 I'd just like to point out that you liked this post therefore I presume you agreed with the source
However you countered this post from the exact same source & also liked other posts that disagreed with this.
Just another example of you trying to have your cake and eat it.
Ridiculous

Brexit in doubt as leaked tapes reveal Theresa May ordering continental breakfast in French........
Leaked tapes of Teresa May ordering a continental breakfast in school-level French mean that Brexit is all but dead in the water.
May was attending an EU summit in Paris, when she requested a “breakfast” consisting of baguettes, cheese and pro-European marmalade, which is low on good cholesterol and essential grease.
“Du pain et du fromage pour moi, s’il vous plait,” said May in a blatant snub to her proud English
roots.
“Aussi, les croissants et la buerre. Et maintenant garcon,” she added, as if that were somehow natural.
May was then filmed breaking a croissant apart at its seams with considerable dexterity, suggesting she has no intention of triggering Article 50.
Political analyst, Simon Williams, said, “It’s either no Brexit or a Brexit as soft as the stinking cheese she used to garnish her croissant.”
The outrageous footage suggests May would be more at home discussing Jean-Paul Sartre in a smoke-filled café on the Champs Elysees than looking after the interests of the English working class.
Yesterday, May added insult to injury by visiting an Audi factory in Wolfsburg, where she addressed plant foreman, Gerhard Fotze, in German.
“Guten Tag,” she said, betraying the fifty-two percent who voted to leave.
“Wie geht’s Ihnen?”

You say it like it's no big deal. Seems to me that the whole thing is predicated on the idea of controlling your borders

Sorry, it is a big deal, but one that can be sorted out......
In other news:
"Science suppliers are raising their prices in the UK to adjust to the steep drop in the value of the pound following the vote to leave the EU.
On Monday US life sciences firm Thermo Fisher Scientific, which sells reagents, told customers it is increasing prices by about 5 per cent from 1 November.
The firm's trading is denominated in US dollars, so sterling's 17 per cent devaluation against the US currency since the Brexit vote in June means that UK prices must inevitably rise.
Scientists are beginning to feel the effects. “In my research I do a lot of molecular biology and biochemistry, for which I need a substantial amount of reagents, plastic ware, enzymes and other wet lab supplies,” said Anne Osterrieder, lecturer in biology and science communication at Oxford Brookes University. “A price increase means our research budgets won't go as far now.”
Paula Salgado, lecturer in macromolecular crystallography at Newcastle University, said the increase on Fisher products translates to roughly an extra £1,000 for her lab.
“That will mean we'll be able to afford fewer items than before. To give you an estimate, we get approximately £15,000 - £20,000 a year for consumables in my current grant. Over the past two years, I spent nearly that much on Fisher products, so this price increase will have a clear effect,” she said.
Finding a replacement supplier for such specialised products is not an option, Salgado added.
Similarly, reagent supplier Newmarket Scientific has informed customers its prices are going up by 10 per cent.
“I run a core facility. For me this simply means I have to raise prices for our customers,” said Daniel Swan, head of platforms and pipelines at the Earlham Institute, a supplier of genomics services.
If the pound regains value, Newmarket Scientific promises to drop prices again. But in the meantime, Swan said the company will push up the cost of sequencing genomes.
“It impacts all our sequencing platforms and our library preparation and sequencing reagents costs – we have a large installation of Illumina platforms and when they adjust their prices this is going to be financially very significant for us,” Swan said. US sequencer manufacturer Illumina did not respond to a question about its price plans.
Higher prices could depress demand for UK scientific services
“Customers may choose to send their samples elsewhere if we become uncompetitive in the global supplier space. [And] when this price hike hits capital equipment purchases, it is going to be particularly painful on some of our more high-end £500,000-plus platforms,” said Swan.
The price rises also mean researchers will have to scale back studies. “They will have to do fewer experiments or [reduce] samples, potentially negating critical aspects of experimental design [and] statistical power,” Swan said.
As a junior lecturer working towards securing the first big grant, Osterrieder is on a tight budget. She relies heavily on advanced microscopy facilities and a few specialist software licenses, so any future price hikes for these services will hamper her career progression.
“I will need to sit down and go through my past and future spending to figure out where price increases are likely to occur, and which ones would affect my research plans the most,” she said.
The pound’s slump has translated into price increases in other services used by researchers. Earlier this week, Microsoft announced its Azure cloud services will go up 22 per cent from January next year, while its Office software will go up by 13 per cent."
