Either way everyone cast a vote and as a nation we voted to leave the EU. So I am happy to go along with whatever happens after we leave the EU.
Of course people are worried about losing their liberties with leaving the EU and freedom to travel and work is part of that. It is also the fact that even those in the Government right now who backed remain have no real plan. So there are people like Neuroscientists etc that live here being asked to leave even though we have not left the EU yet. They have every right to remain, are often married to Brits and are vital to our economy and infrastructure. So the Home Office is making it excessively difficult for people. This is a typical case of throwing out the baby with the bath water. My half brothers mother works for the NHS and has been here for 34 years, even she is worried and she is a highly educated asset to this country. An 85 page document and over £1000 in fees is not a simple administrative task. So even the cutting bureaucracy thing is a pack of lies. It turns out that May wants us to leave the Human Rights Act despite this being nothing to do with the EU.

So you may be happy to go along with whatever happens but that is not how democracy works. It is not supposed to be a static thing. It should respond to the best interests of the citizens it serves not just do what it likes. You seem eager to paint a lot of remainers as feckless people on benefits living off the state but those kind of people would not even have got off their arse to vote. Those who voted, leave or remain should both be equally proud they excercised their democratic right but that does not give either side the right to rub the others noses in it or feel superior. (not that you are) It's just not that simple.
