Perhaps my remain vote was a mistake

He skates over the cost of the EU project, but the Sunday Times shed light on some benefits for 76,000 present and former EU civil servants, with 拢60billion of retirement and healthcare, and average lump sums of more than 拢700,000. Oh, and that鈥檚 small change compared to the payout for Jean-Claude Juncker.

One of the prime causes for the Brexit vote was the increasing realisation the EU is run by an overly-rewarded elite, happy to spend your taxes on a lifestyle beyond your dreams.

I voted 鈥楻emain鈥�, but I am beginning to wonder if I backed the wrong side.
