Brexit: it’s torn people apart. Cunk & Other People III, BBC 2019
Up Yours Delors. The Sun
The British establishment cares more about locking Britain into the EEC than other single thing for the very simple reason that they see it as the final guarantee that Britain under any government will never adopt socialist policies because it would be illegal under the Treaty of Rome. Tony Benn, Against the Tide, Youtube 53.24
Scandal of Brexit is not that we’ve failed, but that we have not tried. Boris Johnson
That dream is dying, suffocated by needless self-doubt. Boris Johnson, resignation letter
If you look through history there is no example of any free people giving up the right to govern itself. And yet what has happened to us in England is we have been betrayed. By Labour and Conservative politicians successively over the last forty years to the point where our parliament has become nothing more than a charade. And I will go on fighting. I will go on standing up because I believe that the best people to govern Britain are the British people themselves ... We’re doing this because we have been led up the garden path by our politicians. This is the fight-back. Nigel Farage, interview Alex Jones, ‘Obama is a Dangerous Man’
We have a Conservative leader that believes in green taxes, that won't bring back grammar schools, that believes in continuing with total open-door migration from eastern Europe and refuses to give us a referendum on the EU. Nigel Farage
I’m surprised we have the front to call this a debate, because the minister didn’t tell us any of the substance of the negotiations. But of course there is no debate is there? No debates in the national parliaments. No informed opinion in the press. No debate at all. And why? Because this whole treaty is being put together in secret. And that is being done because you don’t want to involve the citizens of Europe; you’re fearful that the more they found out about your grandiose plans, the more likely they are to vote NO. And what’s worse still is the downright dishonesty with which this whole process is being pursued. Nigel Farage, UK Independence Party, lone address to European Parliament
A terrible terrible drag for this country … Just 15% of Britain’s gross domestic product is engaged in the manufacture and sale of goods and also services to the European Union and yet we’re part of a single market that regulates 100% of British business. Nigel Farage, Oxford Union Debate, Youtube 15.45

But does the Conservative Party take some responsibility for the delay? ibid.
Family arguments have flared up in homes across the country, and with it frustration that nothing seems to be happening. ibid.
