The woman, who appeared on Thursday night’s Question Time Brexit special, said she felt Britain was following European laws not adhered to by other nations – specifically the Working at Height Regulations.

The woman said: “The reason that I wanted to come out of Brexit was because we seemed to keep all the rules and many foreign countries didn’t. I’m just talking about people that go up on roofs, for one thing.

“We kept … when they brought the rules in about the safety guards, we took that on board. But when you went to France or Germany or something, they were all up on their roofs with nothing.

“And we were paying, you know, the cost of having to do it the right way but they weren’t. And that’s one of the biggest reasons why I voted to come out.”

It’s happened in coincidence with other factors, but it is a unique aspect of the economic adjustment that’s going on here.”
