What the petition asks
The benefits of Brexit are now clear. The UK does not benefit at all, but the 27 EU states will benefit with an increase in taxes, business rates and more EU jobs for its citizens.
What was once dismissed as ‘Project Fear” is clear for all to see as truth.
And it's only 26 days after Brexit.

It's cheaper, quicker & easier for the UK to join than to trade alone. The costs of shopping between the UK and the EU will return to normal.
If your weekly spend went up by 40% after trying a new supplier, would you continue going or go back to your previous supplier? It’s common sense.
If the real reason the UK’s rich & powerful wanted Brexit is not because of the EU’s stricter tax laws, then why doesn’t the UK Government implement those same tax laws? It would raise £35 Billion every year.
