Question 4;

Welt am Sonntag: The message we hear here, on the European continent, is that the two countries that traditionally were the leading champions of capitalism and free trade now turn their back to the world.

Hammond: At the moment, we don’t have any control, not any more than Germany does.

Welt am Sonntag: And that has to stop?

Hammond: That has to stop. That’s the message the British people sent on June 23rd.

My memory may be a little fuzzy on this one - I seem to recall roughly half of all those that actually voted (so ignoring those that didn't / couldn't vote) chose Leave, and (according to polls) 33% of those did so due to fears over immigration.

Which works out at roughly 5.5m people out of an electorate of 46m people.

The rest is just the same old moon-on-a-stick crap being spouted by government.

Maybe I missed something.
