If(?) and when we leave, they will punish us as an example to others, so they have to make it difficult.
I really think you should either cite or provide some source for this "accusation".
It is a favourite strategy of "vote leave" easy to say but as far as I can see without any foundation whatsoever.
The EU wants to protect it's interests for they are the interests of its citizens.
Seems so obvious that even having to restate it seems banal.
I don't think Rees Mogg has my interest or the interests of the wider UK at heart.
He is on record as saying "the loss of hundreds of thousands of jobs will be worth it".
Some folk thought his view worth voting for.
Nothing fruitcake about that Mogg (or his dad, from whence he receives his diabolical wisdom). He knows exactly what he wants and how to get it. He is as clever and dedicated about it as any sociopath with a firm belief in the Divine Right of an aristocracy; or Social Darwinism; or any of those other schemes employed by those with the better half of their human nature missing to justify their predatory greed for power and riches.
Now, some feel that a fellow able to pursue power and riches will somehow be a good fellow in charge of a nation. The power and riches will "trickle down". The worthless ne'er-do-wells will all be expunged, to boot! In fact, the power and riches required by a Mogg-type are relative. He wishes to exert power by depriving others of any. He wished to measure his degree of "rich" by comparing it with the poverty of others. He will trickle down only that effect that turns everyone into one of "the undeserving poor".
