What's the point in Brexit?

I don't really understand why we're 'leaving Europe' last I checked we weren't even attached to them. The UK is floating out in the middle of the sea. Why are people saying we've left we were never there I don't get it, are you people just idiots or something?

    Its a case of who runs/rules the UK. Historically , since 1066, no foreign power has successfully invaded England and got away with it. We have been an independent sovereign nation and don't rules from anyone outside the country. The EU is trying to subordinate England, and all the other countries in its remit.

    You are clearly not too bright as Brexit has nothing to do with geography

    Yep. All complete idiots.

    The point of Brexit has to do with a new EU law coming in soon that requires all private individuals to declare their offshore accounts for taxation purposes. Basically it's a law to go after the rich nobs who are squirrelling money away in the Caymans and other places so that tax authorities don't see it to tax it. This is why the Rees-Moggs and Farages want to break away from the EU, so they can hide that cash. We're talking about BILLIONS.

    The UK had left the European UNION, but it is still geographically part of a continent of Europe.  The same way as Switzerland is not part European Union but nobody in his right mind will say that it is not part of Europe.  (Well, except maybe you.)

    Brexit is the UK leaving the UK.

    If you don't understand, perhaps you should do some basic research first.

     You appear to be the idiot the UK is leaving the EU it will still be part of

    Europe which includes countries who are not in the EU. Perhaps you should

    read the newspapers or watch the TV news more and you would not seem to

    be so clueless.
