The government wouldn't have allowed a referendum if they thought there were enough people wanting Brexit, and 2. If you interview the wrong sample of people extrapolation doesn't work Do you seriously think they found enough non-voters across enough demographics to make an accurate extrapolation? Can you prove this to us? No, of course it is not 100% reliable, but we also have the 11 post referendum polls wth remain in the leave, and when you consider the demographic change in the last two years, it's actually obvious that remain would win now, well over half a million more young people. Be honest, you only argue against the evidence because you fear that the will of the majority today is not to leave. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That race has been won. If the stewards now want to arse about with the result, they will find that the punters will not take kindly to the Jockey Club doing anything other than honoring the result. And what exactly are the punters going to do and more pertinently yourself - if we have a no Brexit situation down the line or one that doesn't satisfy your taking back control mantra - what will you do ? There is a lot of talk of insurrection being bandied around but I haven't seen anything of substance to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lancaster house speech had no details, the UK is becoming more like Thailand every day, plenty of cosmetics but no substance. They don't have the infrastructure nor the trained staff nor have they gathered the highly skilled people needed for the standards institutions, food safety, medicines, flight safety standards, finance, etc for a hard brexit and the EU must know this, May isn't holding any cards. When the ports are blocked with ships that can't unload and mile long queues unfold at the too few border posts all the flag waving rah,rah,rah, will simmer down to a whisper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EU made an offer based on what TM said her red lines were - the Canada deal. Unfortunately that kills the UK services industry and all JIT manufacturing. The EU is not going to offer the benefits of membership without the responsibilities, which is what the Brexieters said we would get before the referendum. Mutually sensible from the UK point of view is not the same as mutually sensible from the EU one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong again. The British people voted for what they wanted. Unfortunately as in Ireland,France and the Netherlands the elite are not willing to accept a democratic decision.

From the Guardian, so any semblance of reality is fleeting at best. So none of these problems existed before the Brexit vote? I doubt it. Anti Brexit people are like anti Trumpers - blame for any and all ills, real or imagined, are laid at the doorstep of Brexit and Trump. You got beat, get over it, carry on. If the quick Brexit had been started, it would almost be finished now, but the anti Brexit crowd seem to now enjoy being perpetually aggrieved. You are right blackheart, How I read the article is the anti Brexit people are saying" Hey,we Antis didn't realize that Brexit would be so complex because we are too stupid to have read or studied about it,so you Brexit voters might have been stupid like us and should now change your minds". 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter so much about what you want as about what you are capable of. Not enough staff, IT systems, infrastructure, or border posts to deal with the increase in customs post brexit. Leaving the single market requires you to have recognized standards and institutions to mirror those of the EU, they don't exist,the institutions can be years in the making. Where do the laws between the EU and UK vary so greatly ? Due to it's colonial past the UK has always been wide open for immigration. Many EU laws have been beneficial to the working people of the UK and to the environment ( environmental laws are to be watered down after brexit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully believe that the majority of Brexiters are doing what they think is for the best for the country. But the Brexiteers are not representative of the British people, else we would not be having this debate and we would all be walking happily towards Brexit. Brexiteers may represent slightly more who voted - and yes, that is what counts - but so far there has been no major breakthrough in winning over half the country, who remain firmly opposed to it. Calling half the UK selfish and suggesting that they are betraying their country is not helpful. You can shout 'we won - deal with it' as much as you like, but the fact remains that there are many unhappy Remainers out there, and the collective you have failed in the most dismal way possible to reassure them that the future is, indeed, rosy, and that you are not wilfully destroying the future for the entire country. And this is what I think should seriously worry TM. No matter how things turn out - hard, soft or no Brexit - there are going to be huge swathes of very dissatisfied people clamouring to be heard. Language is important and everyone needs to be more responsible about how they contribute to the debate; the crap that the Daily Mail spouts about traitors is particularly troubling. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
