I along with millions more have been forced to live through 43 years and more of the imposition of German and French corruption and rules and regulations that have been put upon us without rhyme or reason or discussion with the people who have to live with it, ALL OF US. This once great country has gone to war at the behest of German arrogance and its wish to be the supreme leader in all things, 3 times. Two that became world wars but started by Germany in which millions died fighting for the freedom to choose thier own path in life. The third was the european union one between Germany and England wherein Germany having not been able to win the first two decided to war with us again, but this time it was financial. Two polititions in the 70s who are now thankfully dead but did grave damage to our country, gave Germany with French collusion the opportunity it craved to defeat us. England, this tiny little island that once ruled two thirds of the world and was not even defeated by the Roman armies. The Germans tried to undermine and take away the London money market and shutting down our financial institutions, they even wanted to tax our private pension funds by 5 billion year on year to fund thier own pension shortfall. BUT the referendum gave England Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland the chance to fight back, everyone had an equal vote, everyone could choose the way they wanted to go with it, so you and all of those who could not be bothered to take the opportunity should stop bitching at the MAJORITY of good people who did get off thier rear ends and voted to take back our country from levels of corruption unprecedented in English history. You “Get real” obviously think you know everything but did you know of the final documented coop de gra to be inflicted by Germany and France on our great country was to relegate us to nothing more than a Suberb of Brussels the smallest country in the European Union. Therein is just one of the real reasons why we the people spoke up and fought back and we beat the Germans again, We are English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish and we are all members of the finest nation on Earth and you and all the other remoaners should remember that, and while you are at it DON’T YOU DARE EVER TELL ME THAT I DID NOT KNOW WHAT I VOTED FOR England is not a tiny little island, despite what so many people mistakenly believe. England is part of a tiny little island. There are many Scots, Welsh and Irish who lent a hand in the empire - don't forget about them. And did the Roman not walk all over you? It certainly looked that way when I visited the Jorvik centre. Edit: Please also do not forget that the Scots and the Norther Irish have also voted clearly - but their wishes are being ignored.

The only ones complaining are the Brexiteers, meanwhile rising support across the continent for the EU continues to confound them all. I appreciate that it upsets many Brexiters to see that their goal of the EU in tatters seems to be receding by the day, but the reality is that it is not only the UK where they are in the minority. Rising support for the hated E.U. I think not. You only have to notice the increase in votes for anti E.U. Parties. Be they in France, Holland, Austria,Italy etc., Will other countries follow the U.K’s lead, I‘ve no idea, though I suspect it’s causing many sleepless nights in Brussels. That and the prospect of losing the U.K’s charitable contributions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to understand the difference between rubbish and question. I think it is reasonable to question the ruIes and process of the poll in light of, not innate prejudice, but recent election results. I am very happy to accept the poll if someone can give it merit by showing me it was a professional independent audit, but not on the basis of your innate prejudice, resulting in a blind faith which obviously satisfies your needs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tebee Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 It's all our fault, Dominic Cummings, former campaign director of Vote Leave explained when he wrote an open letter to Tory MPs and donors explaining why Brexit had turned into such a shambles. It’s not his fault, you’ll be unsurprised to learn, but that of a government of secret Remainers and a civil service which doesn’t believe in the policy. https://www.newstatesman.com/2018/05/if-only-we-could-all-be-clever-dominic-cummings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
