Quote:
Tony Blair is announcing his "mission" to persuade Britons to "rise up" and change their minds on Brexit.
Speaking in the City of London, the former PM claims in a speech that people voted in the referendum "without knowledge of the true terms of Brexit".

Same could be said of the Remain side. How many of those who said to remain in the EEC in the previous referendum, knew what the EEC was to become? Who knew the way in it would enlarge, encompassing former Eastern Bloc countries? Any freedom of movement was for WORKERS. Even the UKs own laws on rights to housing, benefits, etc were very different back then. At least the Leave side knew that their concerns would never be addressed, and that the EU would carry on regardless.
Strangely enough, Blair's comment applies even more so, to those who voted for Scottish Independence. Not even the simple matter of which currency to use, wasn't settled or presented.
