What it means is that a substantial number of the UK's population do require the government to rethink the Britanic2 shambles. The most important consideration, IMO, whether we support leavers or remainers is to consider whether it would be more beneficial to the UK's population for the UK to enable Brexit or not? IMO, leaving the EU - and the single market and the Customs union is suicidal to our future prosperity. 

 

Please challenge my post, and prove to me that leaving the EU would be a better place for the UK's population? I would suggest you would be in a minority at this point in time when 4 million people  - and growing substantially - are requiring the government to revoke article 50. 

 

That includes Nauseas, Laughing gravy and Nontabury whose ideaology I can understand, but IMO, would not benefit the UK going forward. 

Does one know what that "substantial number" is, could it be actually be an insignificant number. You see when you have Mickey Mouse epetitions that is open to abuse, nobody really knows now do they.

And by the way this is an open forum and members don't need prompts from you to answer questions that has been answered multiple times, members have been warned about this behaviour before.

You could put you head out the window if you are in central London.

Hundreds of thousands are marching through central London calling for another EU referendum, as MPs search for a way out of the Brexit impasse

Crowds were told the initial count showed more than a million people had turned up - putting it on a par with the biggest march of the century, the Stop the War march in 2003.

BBC correspondent Richard Lister, who was at the scene when the march began in Park Lane, said: "The march set off about 20 minutes ago but the movement up the march has yet to reach this point - and we are relatively close to the front - people here are still waiting to march."

He said the organisers of the march "believe it's the biggest mass movement in the UK"

You obviously don't accept democracy because you are trying to overturn it, but well done to you for using the phrase "you lot" Our citizens who have voted in a democratic referendum and have won by 1.4 million votes have been reduced to "You lot" And we wonder why there is division in our country.

Come on. You are better than that. 52/48 whether in favour of Leaving or Remaining - both voices must be heard and neither side allowed to trample on the other.

Anyone following this in the long term will remember that TMay was always a "Remainer".  Her heart is not in it.  Very few politicians were really "Leavers", as has become obvious from the results of the Commons votes.  The referendum result was a direct reflection of the sad fact that UK elections over time have not put true "peoples representatives" in Westminster, only party puppets.  UK desperately needs really independent politicians.

All Mother Theresa has to do is sit it out.  According to the EU they will give an extension for a couple of months only if the Commons accepts the deal as is next week.  If not, it's all over on April 12.  The deadline of next week means those street protesters with their demands to have a second referendum are pointless - but I'm sure it makes them feel good

Not necessarily true. The Eu would give us a further extension to organise another referendum. They would also give us an extension to withdraw Article 50. However, she's just a puppet. Those pulling her strings are determined to have a no deal Brexit. All of May's actions are designed to facilitate this.

Your evidence for such willingness is where exactly?

We constantly hear the screaming, shouting, abusive language and ridicule from the 48% believe me. The referendum was a voice. people spoke. It was a simple choice leave or remain. if remain had won I assume you would be happy that the leavers demanded that we leave the EU. Some side has to win. That is what happens in elections and referendums. it is that hearing the voice of the 48% we are in this mess. nothing is getting finalised or completed because the remain will nit accept the result.

 

.We are not allowed to finalise a deal as we are still in the EU so what you are saying is not true. Deals whilst in the EU are under EU regulations and conditions, favouring the EU. That's why its one of the reasons we want out.

Even the BBC acknowledge that.

Personally I would give no 39 billion pound and would demand a rebate for all the money, buildings, infrastructure that we have contributed too. We just need a decent divorce lawyer and not one who rolls over and gives everything away, like TM. lets hope she is toast by next week. ????

 

As for blame I put it down to the self serving politicians and the public who will not accept a democratic vote with the constant trying to frustrate, stop and justify why it shouldn't take place.

"We just need a decent divorce lawyer".........thanks that was really funny, I understand why you chose the Laughing Gravy name. Maybe May should have chosen a remainer to do the job since the Leavers made such a bad job of it. It's OK I realize you can't really imagine it would be that simple, 40 plus years of law to unravel, you can't just walk away from laws. 

 

The question about democracy is what kind of democracy is it. If it is a "Winner takes all" type then your arguments would hold a bit more water. What we do have is a representative democracy. Our MPs are supposed to represent ALL their constituents. Of course the largest party gets the bulk of the power, but there are checks and balances, the winning party doesn't take all the seats in parliament. The tide has turned, under 40% now want a no deal Brexit.

But this is it, we have become two tribes - we use the same words, but we mean different things by them. The way brexit has been played, by TM and the right wing press in particular, has been to pit brit against brit. We call you lot stupid, you call us traitors and remoners. 

 

This has resulted in both sides taking entrenched positions, all ground for compromised and civil discussion has been lost. It's very hard for either group to see things from the others point of view. 

 

People now regard themselves more strongly as either Leave or remain than as Labour or Conservative. 

 

This will be Brexit legacy, a fractured and dysfunctioning nation 

The electorate has proved in the past to have very short memories. Within days of withdrawing Article 50 we'll all be friends again and we can move on to "will England qualify for the Euros?" I've heard that it's already become the No:1 topic in Spoonies.

I hear what you are saying tebee, but I'm beginning to wonder if there is a Brexit compromise. We voted to leave the EU and anything less is not leaving, what ever we agree with the EU, we will be locked into the EU for the rest of our existance, with no say on anything and having to obey their rules, laws and regulations, that is not what we voted for.

The halfway house is no good for leavers, nor should I imagine for remainers. The only thing that would make you happy is to remain, just as the only thing that would make leavers happy would be a clean break. Should it be possible to leave with an deal that would not tie us in any way to the EU would be very nice, but I just can't see it. Would you be happy with a halfway house deal?

Brexit options in a nutshell. Not mine, credit to somebody called Nigel Brown and possibly not even his own work, but too good not to post….

1/Revoke Article 50.
This is the one to go for if you despise the working class and think they should never have been allowed to vote in the first place. Ideal if you live in a three million pound house in London and are called Jeremy, Jacinda or Gerald. It also works for you if you think Magna Carta was a terrible idea and 800 years of extending political rights and enfranchisement needs to be reversed as quickly as possible.

2/A People’s Vote/2nd referendum
Quite a few Jeremy’s are keen on this one too. This is the one to go for if you despise the working class and think they should never have been allowed to vote in the first place. It differs from the revoke option because it pretends to be democratic. But it’s still saying that everyone who voted Leave is a non person whose vote should be totally ignored.

3/May’s Deal
If you have been scratching your head and wondering how on earth can we retain all EU control over Britain and even extend it whilst pretending to honour the 2016 vote this is the one for you. It’s a great option if you would like to know what it felt like for Indians during the Raj, or get sexually aroused by the idea of dominant Belgians being able to do whatever they want to you for at least two years.

4/Custom’s Union
This is Labour’s Plan. We ‘Leave’ the EU. Then we put in place exactly the same trade relationship with all of exactly the same rules as being in the EU. Nobody will notice the switch or that Brexit is not actually delivered. This is the one to go for if you’ve always been fascinated by that game with three cups or three cards. You know, can you find the pea or the Queen? Street hustlers and grifters love this one, and it’s also the one to go for if you have a gambling addiction or are just terrified of change. Canaries that fly back into cages all recommend this option.

5/Canada Plus.
This is the one that was fully drafted by the government department actually set up to draft a deal, that the EU had said they would agree to, and that actually delivers both a deal and a real Brexit. So of course this is the one that the Civil Service torpedoed and that nobody talks about.

6/ No Deal
This is the one where even the name is a lie. It actually means WTO rules, which are wide ranging and sensible and designed to facilitate trade. It also means instead of one big deal with nasty compromises, lots of little sensible deals with no surprises. The stuff that keeps planes flying. The stuff that makes all the Apocalyptic Visions of Doom ridiculous. But if you think Mad Max is a documentary on life in Australia this is the one to be terrified of.
‘No Deal’ also includes the option of an agreement under the WTO to enter trade negotiations for up to 10 years with zero tariffs during all that time. That’s right. All the stockpiling food and talk about cancer medicines is retarded horseshit.

He sounds a right pratt. Very pro the working man. Glad you could work "The Lodge" into the thread somewhere.

 

First it was "Tommy Islam this" and "Tommy Islam that", now it's all about the Lodge. I'm beginning to join the dots up.
