David Cameron had resigned as Prime Minister after gambling and failing that Britain would vote to remain.
And I stood on the ninth tee at Turnberry Golf Course with Donald Trump as he'd come over to look at his golf courses and saying, well, of course, I predicted all along that Britain would vote to leave the European Union.
It doesn't feel quite as joyous 10 years on.
Also, the whole idea of taking back control, which was the great slogan of that time.
I just don't know what it means.
Why are we any more in control?
And we look at the cost of borrowing in the bond markets.
Are we in control of that?
No, the bond markets are in control of that.
You know, what is happening in NATO?
Are we in control of that?
No.
Donald Trump's still in control of that.
And I just think that the idea that somehow this was all worth it.
I just I find the polling fascinating, but not surprising.
I think it's virtually impossible to imagine a circumstance.
If you think about it seriously, where we go back into the European Union, given the conditions that will be attached to us rejoining and given what the European Union will be demanding from Britain so that they don't go through another bloody psychodrama with the Brits not sure whether they want to be in or whether they want to be out.
dissembling frankly which is yes it was always going to be very very prosperous for a very small number of probably men who are already millionaires i think this will go down as the greatest act of national self-harm that a sovereign nation has inflicted upon itself you know sometimes wars start and you know ukraine is bombed to pieces by russia and has no choice in it because russia started this bloody thing you know we voted for this thing
It has left Britain's worse off.
But the chances of it reversing seem to me negligible because as this polling data shows, people think, oh, no, please, please, God, no.
