    Five new signings, I thought he was supposed to be making another signing this week 

    People need to calm down. Deals can be held up because other teams are involved in deals/waiting to hear on players. It's like being in a chain when selling a house. I'm confident we'll see some more fresh faces soon.

    If, for example, a yes vote had been secured on the basis of “Independence in Europe” and for some reason that turned out not to be an option and we were instead looking at becoming a global outcast then I’d think a second referendum would be very much in order.

    That was the a problem for some in the 2014 Indyref. Whether or not Scotland would remain part of the EU. I voted for independence regardless of actual or imagined perceived risks.

    I would still have voted Yes, even if we were thrown out of the EU. I am hard Yes and soft Remain. Above all else I am a democrat and regognise that the majority of people did not want what I wanted.

    The fascist understanding.

    Say in the future we have another Indyref and Yes wins by a narrow majority. You would expect the result to be implemented.

     

    That's why I called you a fascist. You only want to recognise votes that you win.

     

    To be a true democrat (like myself) you have to accept the results that you lose. You may not like it but you have to accept it.

    Can I also remind you that this referendum was advisory, there was nothing binding about the outcome, and given what we now know I think there is every reason to challenge what has effectively become a right-wing political coup, cheered on by the hyena press.  Democracy demands no less, Sir.

     

    Would the next referendum also be just advisory? Would you accept the result if Leave won again? Why should anyone believe you when you have already ignored one referendum?

     

    The people have already spoken Sir. Democracy has already been served.

     

    I voted Remain and I accept the result of the referendum as do millions of other democratic remain voters.

     

    That's the problem with democracy Sir. You don't always get the result you want.

    A second referendum which included a REMAIN option would see that option winning by a margin similar to the last referendum.  However if the Brexiteers are so sure everything is fine why do they oppose it?  Democracy?  Don’t make me laugh.

     

    We have already had the vote. Remain lost and Leave won. You are not a democrat Sir :thumbsdown

    I'm leaning towards yes, but a bit. It's certainly a more credible argument than simply saying "they won" over and over again with no real depth at all. Especially given the manner of the win, and the clusterfuck that followed.

    I'm also not so easily willing to see so many lives ruined and to see all sorts of rights up in the air just because of one vote that many people didn't fully appreciate.

    But you carry on with your wee bubble where nothing matters but a vote.

    I will my friend. I am a democrat.

    Did you vote to leave the Single Market?  

     

    Did you vote to leave the Customs Union?

     

    That's what many of these key arguments are over and a lot of Brexiters spout absolute pish over it.

     

    Saw one moron on BBC's HYS banging on today that Andorra, Monaco the Vatican City, San Marino and Switzerland didn't need the EU to carry out trade.

     

    They were obviously completely unaware of the fact that 4 of the 5 are either in the Single Market or in the Customs Union and the other isn't a democracy that could join the EU.

     

    Your average Brexiter is a head in the sand moron who is more akin to a football fan with their " but we won" mantra.

     

    Their win is like the Zombies nine in a row - completely worthless.

     

     

     

     

     

    I like you voted Remain sadly we lost the vote. I am a democrat I accept the result.

    You could make a case of the UK electorate being as ‘entitled’ to another referendum as the Scottish people on independence - both landscapes have changed beyond all recognition pre-referendum.

    Almost nobody voted even for something as extreme as Chequers. Even Nigel fucking Farage was saying we could be like Norway. That there’s no backing away from the mess is the anti-democratic scenario, not having another vote.

    You are clutching at straws my friend. Democracy is not perfect but what is the alternative? Anarchy?

    For evermore, and if new information makes clear it was an awful decision? No other Democratic votes are binding in perpetuity, and in changing circumstances.

    No not for evermore. That would be as wrong as not accepting democratic votes. In my mind people who do not respect the results of fair free democratic elections are fascists.
