Brexit: Do you #Regrexit? UK voters voice doubt over referendum choice

We should differentiate between the British government, the British people and the people running the British government. You might say that giving up sovereignty is something a government shouldn't do, and the British people voted in favour of recovering the sovereignty lost to the EU. But the people running the British government have no interest in sovereignty. They want what's best for their money.
Well, the soon-to-be ex-Prime Minister of England met with EU leaders today, and the message was pretty clear:
Blackie's already said it's BS and one of those 'nothing to see here' type things. Doesn't matter.
We've been through this already, and yet the left-wing gutter press sttill keep brining it up.
Nigel Farage never ever said that the £350 million a week we give to the EU could now be spent on the NHS instead. In fact, he wasn't even part of the Vote Leave campaign. He was part of the Grassroots Out! (GO!) campaign which lost the battle against Vote Leave to campaign in the referendum campaign. During the referendum campaign he even attacked Vote Leave for their £350 million a week claim, calling it nonsense.
I don't know if the left-wing press like The Huffington Post are genuinely mistaken and somehow don't realise, like most of the rest of us, that Farage wasn't part of Vote Leave and that he ridiculed their £350 million a week figure, or they do know this but they are conducting a filthy smear campaign against Mr Farage.
As for the £350 a week we give to the EU, there is no reason why it can't go to the NHS. Now that we are getting out of the EU the British Government is now free to spend that money on what it wants, such as the NHS, housing, education, defence, or a combination of them.
