StreetCowboy Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 From what I read on these threads, it’s not really about the EU, and whenever we leave, to quote Graeme Green (Brighton Rock) “The worst horror was yet to come.” Chamberlain should have never appeased the Nazis, and May should have never tried to appease UKIP. She was elected to save parliamentary democracy, not destroy it, and pursuing the whims of the mob is not the way to do it (in my view). So let’s take time to make a plan. List the things we want. List the things we don’t want. List the risks List the opportunities Set aside dogma, slogans, vitriol and prejudice. Or whatever. I’m pretty sure she knows what she’s doing, and has our best interests at heart. That’s why we voted for her party. Or maybe it was just a protest vote...

I think it would be fair to say that the mob are the remainers who do not like democracy and wish to overturn the result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The paper should have been a list of what you do NOT want to do, Then we might have got a majority - possible for a couple of options. I think our best option is to unify Ireland, with the rest of the British Isles united behind and under Dublin.

I agree on unifying Ireland would be the best way forward but there is so much ingrained bigotry on all sides I can not see anyway that will ever happen in this century.

StreetCowboy Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Thirty years ago an Irish bloke told me in a pub in London that Ireland would accept unification with devolution under the Crown, He's the only person that has told me that, but one more than has told me Ireland would accept unification under the Pope. Alas I fear that many amongst us have not considered either option, nor any other. I consider myself blessed that I have not been asked to solve the problem, and fortunate that my current job is unlikely to be significantly affected.

Most of 'em have since changed their minds and have now decided they want to leave the EU. 16,141,241 voted Remain, 6,062,752 have signed the Revoke Petition, therefore by your argument 10,078,489 have changed their mind. Therefore: 17,410,742 voted Leave, 605,732 have signed Leave the EU without a deal petition, therefore 16,805,010 Levers have changed their mind...

We know, because we did it! The petition to revoke Article 50 has received millions of signatures. It looked pretty obvious to us that it was being gamed by bots to make false political capital, thereby seriously devaluing the UK Government’s platform for digital democracy. So we tested it for ourselves. In a single weekend, using just one spare server and with a budget of £22, we were able to make 72,000 confirmed robotic entries. Imagine if we’d put any real effort and resources into it! https://www.kent.house/uk-petition-article-50-hijacked-by-bots/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure why you would do that, but at least we are agreed on one thing. We need a second referendum now we know what is being proposed. Thanks for the votes.

StreetCowboy Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 The fact of the matter is that unless every last one of the electorate is made to suffer the full consequences of the referendum, and learns to appreciate that we appoint a government, not puppets, we will forever suffer this idiocy, ASsecesson offers a small hope of saving us from this chaos, but we have plenty of Cromwellian ruins that tell us we may struggle to avoid the idiocy of our Southern neighbours SC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beautifulthailand99 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 There is a section of the country that is still bang up for No Deal – mostly people in their forties and fifties with Union Jack Twitter avatars and exactly 14 tweets, all of which are calling female Guardian journalists "traitors". These people think we ought to embrace the Blitz spirit, keep calm and bloody well carry on. "Get in line for your Brexit rations," they say, "but make sure you start an orderly queue, because we're Brits and that’s what we do!" No Deal means pleasing these people and ignoring the millions who are worried about the fact that EU migrants are vital to our economy and culture, and concerned about the serious warnings over access to medicines following a No Deal withdrawal. As such, it'd cause major upheaval and none of the wartime spirit that this lot are romanticising, not least because as the war was Actually Very Bad, it never existed in the first place. As such, it's likely this bizarre environment will affect how we act. https://www.vice.com/en_uk/article/kzdmqy/no-deal-behaviour-a-guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
