I know people that voted to remain and now want out for the same reason.
And I know hundreds who voted to leave and now want to remain. Jesus.

Great to see the EU tackle the alleged gig economy tax avoiders, Amazon €250m and Apple a staggering €13bn. Fantastic news for those citizens. In the meantime a plane manufacturer with a plant in Northern Ireland gets a 219% trade levy by the USA.
As conspiracy theories go it's pretty thin. The Moggster has been motivated by a lifelong love of UK parliamentary sovereignty and opposition to anything that threatens this I doubt the latest EU tax proposal makes a blind bit of difference to him. If you know different or can name any of his friends that have offshore accounts that would be impacted by the EU proposals and have contributed to the Leave campaign then I'm prepared to change my view. The biggest single contributer to the referendum campaign was Lord Sainsbury ( for Remain).
On the wider issue of tax avoidance, I was interested to hear from the Head of the IFS on the Daily Politics recently that the Government have introduced over a hundred different measures/regulations on closing loop holes/ tax avoidance recouping £10 Billion.
Yay, we rool.
are you really lauding the EU for action on taxes arrangment that only occured in the first place because of the EU?
Er no. That's the point. You don't. You lost.
Hooray for Great Britain. You remainder lot should be thanking us brave Brexiteers.
No, you are right, tax evasion by global tech giants is an EU issue, I had forgotten that.
yes, apparently you have, both cases down to how the EU allows transfer of sales between member countries.
I had always felt that Brighton supporters are more enlightened and educated than your typical football fan.
Perhaps you'd prefer if we were quiet. No chance.
I know you won the vote, but something tells me you won't get what you voted for. Its a bit like a referendum on getting a bigger cock. You may vote 'yes please', but.....

Again, I was talking about odd-ball Euro sceptics and freakoids in The Conservative and Unionist party like Neil Hamilton and that Rees-Mogg creature, not mainstream big business people like Lord Sainsbury or the more normal mainstream majority of The Conservative and Unionist Party.
If I can name people that have offshore accounts and would be impacted?! I suppose you'd like Friday's Euro Millions numbers while I'm at it and Lord Lucan's address in Botswana too?
It's not really a conspiracy theory though, it would impact on all sorts of unscrupulous freakoid, Euro sceptic odd-balls like Rees-Mogg, who with his inherited wealth made on other peoples misery, Russian business involvements, links to the offshore magic money tree forests and all the rest of it is frankly as dodgy as **** as well as being a complete ****. He must know plenty of other like minded odd balls. Perhaps his Russian friends might get impacted too?
It has been mentioned before openly, and I've read it in a few places and there may be nothing in it but I can understand your disdain that some of heroes may not have played with a straight bat, like their public schools taught them too.
(A hundred measures that have raised £10 Billion though?! Wow, that's less than 1 months NHS budget! There's only £1 Trillion supposedly holed up in the just the murky British Virgin Islands alone. I'm sure it's all legit - I'll ask my MP all about all if you like - she knows all about 'tax efficiency' schemes in The Caribbean magic money tree offshore forests for the benefit of her 'clients' )
