Heath was far worse than Blair I am merely stating that to claim that there is amoral obligation to "respect" the referendum is wearing rather thin. From the day of the result, only a few remainers have respected the referendum vote, or the people who voted out.

It was market weekend and on the Sunday morning I heard a commotion from a long shed and wandered over to have a look. There was a long overhead conveyor track and at one end an old woman was hanging on ducks, they had strangled themselves by the time they got to the other end where another old woman took them off and threw them into large baskets. I am fairly certain the ducks prefer to go to the market under EU regulation. Animal cruelty, as any other cruelty, is a mentality issue and nothing whatsoever to do with "the people", supermarkets or cheaper food.

Looks more like you’ve moved backwards with all the information popping up now that people should have had when they were asked to vote. Indeed, the UK does not do 'progress' it lives in the past, and for that reason we will remain in the EU, until it collapses. Watch May's deceptive deal taking us back into the EU. This deficiency in democracy and the leadership that fears change, coupled with monstrous inequality, will lead to civil unrest, here. Expect UK French style protests. The battle is not over, just beginning. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Loiner Posted March 4, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 4, 2019 How do you “respect” a referendum vote? How do you “respect” a manipulated referendum vote? Are the people in North-Korea also expected to “respect” the election results there? Did you “respect” the 1975 referendum or did you call for another one? You respect it by delivering the majority result, not the minority’s. We’ve already noted that when the politician say they ‘respect’ the referendum, they mean the opposite. They actually intend to disregard the referendum result, then lie and cheat their way to something else. Nothing was manipulated in the ballot, unless you refer to citizens being excluded for over 15 years absence. The 1975 referendum was respected because it was the ‘correct’ result for the government of the day.

The referendum result is a fact; everyone acknowledges that. It cannot be “turned over”, because that would require traveling back in time. What you mean by using the word “respect” actually is to shut up, stop thinking, and do nothing. That, however, is not “respect” but simply surrender. 16 minutes ago, nauseus said: 2. By recognising that there was "manipulation" from both sides. Even worse then. If not half of them were cheating, but all of them, makes the whole vote even less legitimate and democratic. 16 minutes ago, nauseus said: 3. UK is not NK, yet, at least. No idea. No comparison. By asking people to shut up and swallow a manipulated vote, you’re doing exactly the same people in countries like North Korea are facing their whole life. 16 minutes ago, nauseus said: 4.

Same as Brexiteers called for a referendum or to leave the EU, remainers are also calling for a referendum or to stay in the EU. That’s how democracy works; everyone is entitled to their opinion and no one needs to fear someone trying to silence him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post nontabury Posted March 4, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 4, 2019 8 hours ago, welovesundaysatspace said: I will not disagree that Blair and the UK are (together with the US and others) responsible for the war and chaos in the Middle East and all the deaths and refugees it has caused. But any comparison with Hitler or the Nazis is completely wrong. I did not compare Tony WMD Blair with the Nazis. What I said, is that he has inflicted more damage on the U.K. than Adolf Hitler. His willingness to accept more immigrants from an alien culture into the U.K has resulted in all sorts of conflicts in our society. One of the reasons he took that approach, as admitted by some of his supporters. Was the knowledge that these alien immigrants are far more likely to vote Labour. In contrast, another member of the axis powers, Japan have taken a completely different approach,regarding immigration. And strangely, their country is safer and far more unified than the U.K. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And many of the Remainers say that the Brexiteers are always tossing insults. I guess Brexiters don't do humour. "The vegetables voted for Brexit" was a bon mot; a quip BTW, you will note that I don't "do" ad hominem insults. I don't feel I need to do so I do find vegetables to be socially inferior to me; especially sprouts! Finally, you may accuse me of many things but "ignorant" just doesn't really fit, now does it? Are you misusing the word? A common error. Ignorant 1) Lacking knowledge.2) Slang: Insult used to describe another party as stupid and/or prejudiced. Often used incorrectly as the most ignorant parties in a debate tend to call others ignorant to make up for their own lack of information or prejudices. If you wish to insult me, do me the courtesy of trying a little harder! Now, enough bickering. Matter closed.
