Of course not, the leavers would prefer to believe it was all manipulated, yet stick their head in the sand over the referendum result. They just want to ignore the fact that if the referendum had been legally binding the result would have been in the courts long before now. There's a HUGE difference between an online petition which is easy to manipulate (using bots, people from other countries voting etc. etc.) and a referendum where each vote has to be cast individually, and mostly in person!

The most depressing, divisive, duplicitous political event of my lifetime. May there never be another. —Robert Harris, throwing some sense into the situation[1] “”The context of the referendum meant that it was always going to be a choice of evils: between the racism and bigotry that animated so much of the Leave campaign, and the neoliberalism of both the Cameron government and the EU. The option of a social democratic, or even soft neoliberal, EU was not on the ballot. —John Quiggin, economist[2] https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Brexit Rationalwiki says James Corbett "discusses statism, 9-11 conspiracy theories, chemtrails, climate change denial and anti dogma conspiracies that mainstream media would never discuss". It may sound to you like an accusation. To me, it's Corbett's greatest virtue - and, he invariably provides detailed links to his sources, which is more than you can say for the mainstream media and most bloggers. Sceptics can always, of course, compare Corbett's take on any given subject with those of contributors to Rationalwiki. As a group blog (which means it automatically fails the Wikipedia reliability test) Rationalwiki itself is not a totally impartial and reliable source. A Reddit critique of the website concludes many of its articles are "very heavily biased", and "it tends to be very pro-SJW/politically correct". Mediabias/factcheck categorises Rationalwiki as having a left-centre bias and says it utilises "loaded words to favor liberal causes". Debate org reckons it's "about as reliable as Conservapedia", with "a very sizable left-wing atheist slant". So there you have it. Nailing down the truth about ANY issue - be it Brexit or Climate Change or 9/11 is incredibly difficult, as is finding credible sources. That said, Corbett's cool and rational exploration of contentious matters the politically-correct mainstream media won't touch puts him bald head and shoulders above his rivals.

Loiner Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Before the UK, no member ever wanted to withdraw (but territories of Member States withdrew, e.g. Algeria and Greenland). And your flaw is that you have most probably never bothered to actually read Article 50, as it is not a matter of ‘being allowed’ to withdraw, but a right to withdraw: "Any Member State may decide to withdraw from the Union in accordance with its own constitutional requirements".It’s all very well having a right to withdraw, so any Leaving nation can send the letter to trigger the two year process. When they obstruct the path to actually exercising that right to its final outcome, we find ourselves in the UK’s current position. Stuck with deal that becomes a treaty, to being a vassal state to the EU forever.

beautifulthailand99 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Rather like Nigel's pathetic miniscule march the much vaunted Brexit civil disobedience that has been promised has turned out to be another damp squib so far.

mommysboy Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 The easiest thing to do is to just leave- the matter is done and dusted and the referendum result has been fulfilled. There can really be no complaint since nobody has come up with an acceptable compromise. Logically, imo, the obvious solution is to revoke Article 50 since nobody can agree what to do, and the only 2 options on the table are the most unpopular. I don't think a second referendum is at all useful- we know that Remain would likely win, but it wouldn't be a satisfactory end to the matter, because at base the country would still be split.

Good on him he's self-funded and gave up his job and he's harming no-one - a great British eccentric whose heart is in the right place. Whereas Farage is an opportunist politician who conceived a scheme that was undeliverable. He persuaded members of the public to make sacrifices to further it and recruited millionaires to bankroll it. And when it failed he simply walked away. The MarchToLeave is just a 14-day metaphor for Brexit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
