When someone starts their post with "must be mentally challenged" you really don't have a leg to stand on when it comes to morality. 

Why the compulsion to use a misquote to create the distraction, obviously indicates they way you want to read something, context was never a strong point.

If you are going to quote, have the decency to quote correctly.

This is what I said

"Only the mentally challenged would believe it was a democratic vote to leave at any cost."

Same difference Sandy, however you want to spin it, it is a derogative term for someone who wants to leave the EU for other than for economic gain.

And going back to the original post of yours, you stated that you are not "ignoring anything", so are you in agreement with the result of the Scots Referendum or the EU Referendum, if you answer 'no' to either or both you are ignoring the result, would that be a fair assumption Sandy?

Brexit strategy risks UK 'dictatorship', says ex-president of supreme court 
Lord Neuberger condemns internal market bill for exempting some of its powers from legal challenge 

 

https://www.theguardian.com/law/2020/oct/07/brexit-strategy-puts-uk-on-slippery-slope-to-tyranny-lawyers-told


Owen Bowcott Legal affairs correspondent
 @owenbowcott 
Wed 7 Oct 2020 22.49 BST 

 

The government’s Brexit strategy is in danger of driving the UK down a “very slippery slope” towards “dictatorship” or “tyranny”, according to a former president of the supreme court.


Addressing an online meeting of lawyers, Lord Neuberger on Wednesday evening condemned the internal market bill, which enables the government to breach international law and exempts some of its powers from legal challenge.

 

“Once you deprive people of the right to go to court to challenge the government, you are in a dictatorship, you are in a tyranny,” Neuberger told the webinar. “The right of litigants to go to court to protect their rights and ensure that the government complies with its legal obligation is fundamental to any system … You could be going down a very slippery slope.”

Keep trying......????

Finally a good Brexiter analysis.:violin:

Yes, Macron wants a no-deal divorce. The problem of a few fishing companies based in Dunkirk and Boulogne is a lure to block any progress.


Macron the former banker knows how to count. He will willingly sacrifice some subsidized fisheries for the benefit of the automotive market and part of highly profitable financial services.

He won't willing sacrifice votes though. Next French lottery in 2022.

I am a bit confused with your use of the word "we".

 

Which "we" are you talking about?

 

I am nothing to do with your "we" as I managed to make my own mind up in time for the referendum without your help or that of Rookiescot or any of the Remainers.

 

I decided to vote leave at the referendum, and even the General Election didn't change my vote. 

 

I expect that you, Rookiescot et did the same as me but voted to remain. Good for you.

 

Nothing changed your vote from Remain to Leave, so why are you all banging on trying to get the referendum and the election vote changed.

 

You had at last 2 opportunities to win as did the Leavers. They won both votes and the Remainers lost both times. So why do you want the free votes of the UK voters replaced so that you won?

Nowhere in my post you refer to do I say we should replace the vtes so I won.  I am asking the Leavers what is was they voted for to try and help my understnding of their thought processes and what the hoped to get (other than "out" which is as meaningless as "Brexit means Brexit").    It would aid my understanding also if Leavers would be willing to openly share what downsides they thought possoble and acceptable, and whether, four years on, they think they will get some, all or none (part from leaving) of what they wanted.

 

If you (or anyone) did not consider the economic consequences, potentially with higher unemployment, higer prices, more difficult travel and a host of other possible downsides, then do you now?  Would you ever?  Or is any cost worth paying to leave the EU?

A valid perspective. 

If attempts to prevent undesirable development have failed, shouldn't you have the option to sell up and move away.

I presume you are referring to the Scottish independence movement.

 

That is a totally different matter, nothing to do with the topic, and one on which I am anyway somewhat ambivalent!
