yeah

11:48

difficult I think sometimes you've

11:49

always got to kind of take a you've

11:50

taken a step and you've got to make the

11:52

most of what you've got um Europe has a

11:54

huge amount of opportunity though I

11:56

think and that's I think there's

11:57

probably other ways you can have trade

11:59

agreements with the countries maybe

12:00

around that going back is probably too

12:02

hard but I don't think it's impossible

12:05

but I think we also W very happy with

12:06

some of the things that Europe were

12:07

bringing upon us as well at the time are

12:09

people still wanting to go back do you

12:10

get that feeling I think so yeah I think

12:11

people still want would rather it was

12:13

how it was before could you see a way

12:15

back I hope there's a way back just for

12:18

um like a younger generation Our nieces

12:20

and nephews are struggling with all

12:22

sorts of elements of not being able to

12:24

be part of that so I I do hope

12:27

especially being as so many of the

12:28

younger generation weren't able to even

12:30

vote in the referendum but it was

12:32

actually directly affecting them what

12:33

were the actual downsides to the EU from

12:35

your opinion I think there was probably

12:37

the I think the country F rightly or

12:40

wrong there was a perception we couldn't

12:41

control as much we wanted control I mean

12:43

immigration probably played a big part

12:44

in the in the decision- making and we

12:47

couldn't control where the spending so

12:48

we would put a huge amount of into

12:50

Europe but we couldn't control where

12:52

that was being spent great to have nice

12:54

shiny new roads in some countries but we

12:56

struggle with the kind of four roads

12:58

that we have there were way more

13:00

benefits to it um and I think it's

13:03

people easily forget that you know like

13:05

I personally really like having a

mandatory
