Brexit slowly becoming a Farce.

You never mentioned that you voted leave previously. 

There are plenty of idiots on here and in the country at large that voted remain.  In fact most of them on here have peddled the line that leave voters didn't know what they were voting for at the same time as ignoring that the very same was true for remain voters.

How many remain voters were convinced by (or even knew about) the Cameron "concessions from the EU" or the Osborne "emergency budget".  Of course it could just be that remain voters were happy with the current direction that the EU is heading without worrying about the finer details of where this may lead but then that would make them as ignorant as leave voters are supposed to be.

Idiots voted to leave. Adults voted to remain. And it was perfectly clear what voting remain meant. We had after all been in the EU for 43 years at the point of the vote.

43 years of the EU???

The organisation that the UK joined in 1973 is nothing like the current EU.

How many times were you asked to vote on the new European treaties?

It didn't take long for verification that there are plenty of idiots that voted remain.  Cheers.

Did Granny Danger not vote leave?

I've had a number of discussions with Leave voters, and with very few exceptions they offer only slogans as opposed to reasoned argument; it's also noticeable how often they echo the 'take back control' mantra.

There is no doubt that there are 'thick' or rather politically disinterested Remain voters about, but to try and find some equivalence merely underlines a need to fit with the unrelentingly right-wing viewpoint you regularly bring to these forums.

Facts are chiels that winnae ding however, and there is little equivalence in the expert global opinion that ANY form of Brexit will diminish the UK across every important measure.

If and when that comes to pass I expect little humility from Brexit advocates, more likely they will be the first to squeal loudly.

Absolutely no chance will these c***s ever accept any responsibility. It'll all be the fault of the Euro Elite and their failure to bow down before good old blighty.

It'll be funny as f**k though when Brexit tangibly affects these gammon fuckers financially. The tears and snotters will be glorious to behold.

The best outcome, and the one that would cause the biggest Gammon heads gone, would be revoke passing by the casting vote of Bercow who defies convention and uses his casting vote to defy Brexit.

That would be beyond magnificent. I'd need a fortnight off to wind up the gammonatti.

Quote

Speaking before the march, Toksvig said she was taking part because she believed “passionately” in the European project. “Some of the enormous political issues we face today – the climate emergency, cybercrime, violence against women and girls – are truly global; we cannot fight them alone, and we cannot fight them outside of Europe.”

Obviously privatising the railways solves the climate emergency, cybercrime can't be solved without letting Apple and Amazon pay less than 0% tax and having posted workers earning Romanian and Bulgarian wages in the UK is the way to reduce violence against women.

The reality of the EU and the pish it's proponents come out with are poles apart.

My point is that the EU which people who are nominally on the left talk about bears no resemblance to the one which actually exists.

Reminds me of the UK that people who were nominally on the left joined with the Tories and the hard right to say was “better together” bore no relationship to the one which actually exists.

I read/heard somewhere that one reason why england voted for brexit was that it feels hard done by.  england won WW2  and afterwards the country was in debt.  It never received it's fair share of spoils from the war.  Colonies got their independence and the british empire was damaged significantly.  Apparently that sort of thing isn't normal when a country defeats another one during war. 
Don't know where I heard or read it from, could be bs as far as I know. 

Some Tory MP was whining that Germany got all the dollars from the Marshall Plan after WW2, and Britain got bugger all. He was forced to apologise when it was pointed out that Britain got the lion's share.

A lying Tory? No way!!!!

I was going to insist it could only be Daniel Hannan but maybe not. He’s usually the go to for laughably politicised incorrect takes on history.
