 Go on then what do ‘you’ want to do differently ?

The flaw here is you are trying to be rational to irrational people. That time is over.

They are not to be reasoned with, they are to be fought against.

Bit late. They won.

Carry on screaming at the sky if it makes you feel better.

There is a tiny minority of very rich and thoroughly unpleasant headbangers who ‘won’

The rest of us?

We’ve all lost, big time! The only difference is that some of us (say 48%) are horribly aware of it. The rest are about to get one hell of a rude awakening

We don't need to eat American chlorinated chicken. We have a surplus of the home grown headless variety.

Leavers do most of the shouting, it is hilarious.

The louder you shout, the more you can drown out the ominous sound of aproaching reality, and a day of reckoning

As has already been pointed out on this thread, it's rather daft to suggest remainers give up and accept things when the anti-EU lot did the exact opposite for 40 years. When we leave, it'll just turn around and the remainers will campaign to re join.

And they'll have every right to do so, the exact same rights the leavers had to campaign to leave.

Worth a read through this article about Tommy Robinson, and the internet campaigners from all over the word supporting him, with reference to involvement in the Leave campaign.

Have we done Gove and Bojo meeting up with Bannon.

Does this mark the beginning of the end of the Conservative party as we know it?

Then again it’s not too daft to expect the regular Remoaners on this thread to be crying that they think their life is over for another 40 years ...

The system has not worked for the majority the last 40 years, and things were looking to get worse; the Remainers knew the EU had to change, but they had no plan on how to do it; so the majority voted for change ... it’s as easy to understand as that.

Agreed,however the issue is that the EU served as a useful scapegoat and enforced certain minima. Your about to see what the Tories really want unleashed, and it certainly isn't what the majority voted for.

Interesting article in today’s Observer, on the unholy alliance taking shape between Steve Bannon and Tommy Robinson, and by the looks of it the arch-opportunist Boris Johnson. They really do see Brexit is the beginning of a right wing coup

Another mooman post lacking any kind of substance? What a surprise.

Most leavers struggle to get right what the eu actually did or how it impacted life in the UK.

How did 'the system' not work?

If the Remainers didn't have a plan, what about the Leavers' one - they've had two years and spent billions and they still can't come up with something workable. Meanwhile the EU economies continue to move ahead as we head back to the 70s.

S'funny - I'm old enough to remember the internet campaigners from all over the world who supported Julian Assange. You know, back when he was a left wing hero rather than a key player in the Trump-Russian collusion illusion.

As has already been pointed out on this thread, it’s rather daft to suggest remainers give up and accept things when the anti-EU lot did the exact opposite for 40 years. When we leave, it’ll just turn around and the remainers will campaign to re join.

And they’ll have every right to do so, the exact same rights the leavers had to campaign to leave.

I agree completely - fair's fair after all - so its agreed, you can have another vote in 40 years, yeah?

The majority have been told for years that it doesn't work when the reality is that, by and large, the opposite is true and it is our successive governments who have failed. However, the majority were led up the garden path for the self-serving aims of the minority (Reese-Mogg, Johnson, etc. the working mans friends...)… it’s as easy to understand as that.

It is a shame that you can't see or understand it, but you will feel the negative effects soon enough. And then you will feel cheated, robbed and angry and have no one to blame but yourself.

I don't resent the majority of leavers, I pity them for their inability to observe, digest and understand what is going on and act in a rational manner.

Hello ninpoop.

Transporting your whataboutery here to see if it will get traction?

Good luck with that.

I think most people had Assange down as a self-publicising charlatan from the off Ninfan.

Did you have a point?

You’re using Jezza as the benchmark of opinion?

And this is relevant to Tommy Robinson, Bannon and Brexit, how exactly?

So this is about the EU referendum.

Why are you going on about Assange?

Given up trying to defend the Orange Lump in that other thread, presumably, so you thought you'd come over here and be an irritating knerb instead...

Nincosequential and mooman giving it large but no plans........ come on guys what are your plans?

If Bojo Govey and any other people have been talking to Bannon then they should hang their heads in shame.

Oh, sorry - I though that Brexit was caused by the evil Russians meddling in the election process, like Trumps election win, you know, all that secret collusion between the right wing nutters, Aaron Banks, Bannon and the Russians, with Assange and wikileaks at the heart of it.

Mooman raises a good point here.

Many feel that the system has been failing them for decades,

that they blame the EU for policies & actions taken by our own politicians in Westminster shows just how badly Brexit is going to let them down.

(I guess that's why mooman has already started blaming remoaners)

Unless mooman,ninfan or any Brexiters can come up with some actual benefits- it's been over 2 years & so far we've still not heard anything yet !

He just wants to poke at things with a pointed stick.

Bad potty training,  clearly.

No, you've just been unwilling to accept any of the reasons that people have come with up as 'adequate' due to your own narrow mindedness

I predict poop will find this a little diffcult to cope with as it requires a bit more than stickery pokery and will avoid it.

Probably start going on about how Michel Barnier once said he didn't like whelks, or something...

Perhaps if you had come up with some benefits of staying instead of demanding the benefits of leaving, you might have won the referendum 🙂

You want to know the biggest benefit of leaving?

Its watching you lot scream!

I struggle to think of a situation whereby a country has ever been worse off following democracy. I can think of several where they are worse off when the voters are ignored or taken for granted.

The idea that all of the problems of this country are caused by the EU, and none by our successive governments is absurd.

Almost as absurd as the idea that our government will suddenly become wise, prudent and just next March, having been none of those for the last two years.

Indeed many of the things the EU has been blamed for have been, at least in part, down to the UK government being in favour of that decision.

I think the only reason to do so would be in case there is anyone reading the rubbish sprouted and might be susceptible to it. After all part of the reason we are in the mess we are is because of the likes of boris effectively trolling in the newspapers by making shit up rather than being proper journalists.

In this particular case though it is probably wasted since I cant see anyone taking the troll seriously. Their frothing hatred is entertaining though.
