DOES anyone else believe we have been duped by the referendum on leaving the EU?
Once the vote was in we believed the process to leave would start immediately, yet four months on we are still waiting and still in the dark.
Were we told about Article 50 prior to the referendum?
Were we told we had to negotiate our terms of leaving and that any terms had to be approved by the 27 other member states?
Were we told that leaving could take up to 10 years?
David Cameron and his Government never had any kind of plan about how to instigate leaving the EU because in their arrogance they did not believe the majority of the people in this country would vote to leave.
Our Government should have started the process of leaving the day after the referendum so everyone knew where they stood and would not have to endure months of uncertainty, threats of doom and gloom and the bullying tactics of Juncker and Tusk et al.
