Did you know that remainers think that walking from one taxi rank to another constitutes a long walk.

 

Did you know that the only boots that remainers own are attatched to their cars.

The problem is that both major parties and Teresa May in particular, have approached brexit as if it was only the leavers opinions  that mattered.

 

Hence we get the divisiveness we now see in the country.

 

You ignore us and try to push us into a corner, we will fight back.  

You must be living in a parallel universe. Remainers are not the victims here. They lost the battle but with the connicance of a Remainer PM and Remainer Parlaiment are going to win the war. Its Brexiteers who have to find a way to fight back, and that can only mean a future full of the divisiveness you mistakenly blame on them.

Poor you, I feel you pain.

 

But you voted for it.

And pigs can fly. But one things for certain: if Brexiteers fail to get what they voted for Remainers will definitely share the pain of being a vassal of the Euro superstate.

If the pain materializes let's not forget to remind Remainers in the midst of that pain they were the group that put the interests of the EU before anything else!

But this just encapsulates the whole problem. 

 

We have such differing world views that we both feel betrayed by TM's actions , but for opposing reasons.

 

This the problem with populist politics and politicians. 

 

They don't realize that democracy is not to the victor the spoils.

 

We need consensus politics were everyone's view is taken into account. OK the winners should be take into account more, but ignoring a sizable percentage is a recipe for instability which is exactly what we have got.   

 

Stirring patriotic frenzy by calling one side traitors and saboteurs may play well to the gallery, but causes divisions in society.

 

What we should have done is stopped and thought about what we wanted from Brexit. Talked to people from both sides. Weighed up the advantages and disadvantages  of each aspect of our membership and worked out what we want to keep and what we can do without.   

 

Now any rational discussion like that is impossible.

 

TM has always had a bee in her bonnet about immigration from her time at the Home Office. She took brexit and used  it to drive a deal that stopped EU immigration, only half wrecked British industry, but left the UK subservient to the EU. She is using brexit, neither for Leave or remain purposes, but to forward her own agenda - her red lines.   

 

How do we recover from this ? - I have no idea. The country is broken.

PR and compulsory voting will be the long term effect of this nonsence. I have explained fine detail elsewhere so I'll keep this short.

Things are never as bad as they seem. I trust the innate goodness of the British people. Most just want an end to this madness and if that means Revoke A50 so be it. There will be a lot of bluff and bluster from a small minority - but as we have seen on the March to Leave and the Go Slow mob they are hugely irrelevant now.  May is not the issue now she has been driven half-mad by the unwinnable task she has been given. Our national sovereign parliament will steer us to safer waters and very soon. Wise heads and calm hearts of the EU, parliament and the people want to resolve this for the good of all. This nightmare will pass and pass soon.

She still comes out of it with a generous PMs private pension of 65,000/year, so it's not all lose for her.

Not to mention her PMs allowance of 150,000/year AFTER she leaves the job payable for life.

I find much to agree with in your analysis and your depressing conclusion, though I see May more as a pawn than a prime mover on the European chessboard, manipulated - whether she realises it or not - to ensure the right outcome for the globalists.

 

One thing is clear from the present shambles : whether or not the country is broken, our political system certainly is - a bitter reality becoming clear to Remainers and Leavers alike. If nothing else, a failed Brexit will at least provide the impetus for both sides to help rebuild it from the ground up.
