I was thinking about the Poles who gave their lives in the Battle of Britain. And given the fact that their airmen shot down something like 1 in 10 of all the Luftwaffe planes downed in that battle, and arguably tipped the balance, maybe the thanks should be going the other way. And before trumpeting anything about our commitment to Polish freedom, you'd be advised to Google Churchill, Stalin and the blue tick. And that's before you start shaking your head at the stupidity of framing 2018 policy in the light of what happened in WWII. It's farcical that folk are still bringing that up. If you're digging up old history, why should we expect to get a trade deal with the USA when we burned the White House in 1814?

He needs to remember how many Brits died to save his third rate country from his mates in Berlin. Show some respect.And you obviously don't know much about WWII either if you think we saved Poland.

Yes, the Poles who died in the RAF were very brave men who I have great respect for, unlike their snidey politicians of today.
Can't see why we joined in the first place. We are an island and never have been and never will be part of their clique. We have more in common with our commonwealth, they are our family.

But none of that seems enough to convince any Brexit supporter to change their minds. Which makes you wonder... what does it make you wonder?

"prepared to lose some money" sums up how well informed you are and how much credence you have given to the case made on this thread for how we all will be affected by brexit. When UK based companies cannot sell to their main export markets there will inevitably be unemployment on a scale you clearly haven't considered.
