Why is Great Britain paying billions to be worse off?

Great Britain is about to pay billions of pounds to the EU, some speculate, 40 billions or more, for the country to be worse off. We have to pay the price of meeting our existing commitments plus an inducement to get some sort of trade deal and transition agreement. Any trade deal that we negotiate with the EU will end up with Great Britain being worse off. The effect of us just saying that we want to leave the EU is already causing the economy to falter. When we actually leave the economy will suffer more. The Eldorado that the Leave campaigners promised us all is nowhere to be seen.

The UK government has just budgeted 3 billion pounds just to organise leaving, and is promising more to cope with further administrative and legal problems that might arise. This 3 billion could have been allocated to the health service.

We are paying billions because you are suffering from the illusion that we can regain our sovereignty, curb immigration and loose ourselves from the ECJ. We already have full sovereignty as no one tried to prevent us from declaring Article 50. If we want to trade with Europe we have to accept that we trade under their laws. The UK economy is modelled on importing skills; we need the doctors, engineers and IT specialists to come from somewhere because we are unable to train and educate enough of these specialists ourselves. Our economy also relies on cheap and mobile labour and the EU provides this. To keep our economy going for the foreseeable future we need immigrants from both the EU and elsewhere. The demographic nature of our country will not change significantly when we leave the EU.

 If you voted Leave then you voted to make yourself and most of the rest of us poorer. You voted to spend billions of the country's money to achieve this. You will not get Eldorado.

You voted to reduce the amount of money available to improve the health service and schools. Your job prospects will not improve and there will be no mobility allowances to fund your travel to find a job elsewhere. Social security benefits will be under threat.

The Home Office will have to recruit thousands of workers to register the 3 million EU citizens who are resident legally in our country. Most of these workers will have to come from the EU; the Home Office cannot find British workers to fill the vacancies. You will still have Polish, Romanian and Bulgarian youngsters living next to you.

You think that we will be free from the international law makers "interfering" in our country? Well, for every rule that we lose, by leaving the EU,  then we gain another one from the WTO etc.

I don't think that the 16 million who voted to remain in the EU and the 13 million who could not be bothered to vote will be thanking you.

The only people who will not suffer as a result of your vote will be the rich liberal elite from London both "Leavers" and "Remainers".

The EU is the only organisation in the world that accepts freedom of movement to work without visas. You will be denied that opportunity too, and your children, unless you are from Northern Ireland or you have dual EU and British nationality.  Your vote is going to make folk from Northern Ireland, who can apply for Irish passports by right, a privileged minority.

You will be stuck in Britain to enjoy your impoverishment.
