‘I’m embarrassed to say I voted for Brexit’: Woman expresses regret over referendum choice

“Brexit has made this country a lot poorer, people a lot more divided, but no-one wants to talk about it anymore.”

A woman has spoken out about her dismay over the Brexit referendum three years since Britain officially left the European Union.

Judy Thomas, who lives in Stratford-upon-Avon, a town that replicated the referendum results of 52/48, told the BBC that she is “embarrassed to say I voted for Brexit.”

“We were obviously lied to so much… it was such a big mistake… and I just feel a fool.

“It’s just done so much… all the people who’ve had to leave the country, all the nurses and doctors, then you’ve got the lorries on the motorway. There are just so many things.”

She is one of several people to have expressed dismay over how things have turned out, although some people still believe it needs time.

Mike Mills is standing by his decision to vote Leave, saying: “I think it was never going to be a quick fix. A lot of people thought it was instantly going to produce a big change for the country, but it will take time. And you’ve got to play the long game.”

Richard Shimmin, a long-term Conservative supporter, takes a similar view.

He’s recently joined the Reform Party, the rebadged Brexit Party, saying the government hasn’t delivered the Brexit that was promised.

“I don’t believe we were lied to,” he says. “I believe the government has not implemented anything that they promised to do in terms of Brexit.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
