@manick62 Sadly, I'm still very much in the Brexit closet, for career reasons. I would definitely lose work if I "came out". I really admire your courage.

@manick62 @Fox_Claire Same in healthcare. I always speak up but know many to ‘shy’ to do so. Also many remainers tell me in another referendum they would vote leave because they believe democracy is important.

@manick62 @errjustsaying Discrimination against us Brexiteers is happening on a large scale.Tried to book a session in a well known recording studio to record a pro Brexit comedy song, everything was ok until they heard rough version of the song, now not replying to emails, gone cold

@manick62 @Fox_Claire It’s absolutely shocking that in this day and age people can’t admit to how they voted for fear of recriminations - and even worse, *career suicide.* I admire your bravery!

@manick62 @Fox_Claire You’re also Manick Govinda of the climate change denying libertarian Manifesto Club. The Manifesto Club loaded with assorted RCP and LM ball sacks. You guys are popping up everywhere now aren’t you? And they say there is no network. RCP/LM/Spiked funded by shameful dirty money.
