Mefty, seriously, you would vote to harm the country because ‘you lot have been mean’?

If you put something in quotes it is best practice to actually include words that the person you purport to quote has actually used.

I voted remain you * prick, there are no benifits that I can see but we lost get the * over it !!!!

My comment obviously touched a nerve. 😉

So we agree there are no benefits to brexit.

It's nice to find some common ground.

I am told the search function is very good now, I am sure you will be able to find them with it.

You will need to use it then as nobody else here seems to see where the flaws are that you are referring to - or might be a case of just you seeing them as flaws?

Point us to them and we can discuss.

I see the ‘Reluctant Brexiteer’ trope is persisting as the last throw of the dice of the Leavers on here.

For what feels like about the millionth time:

What are the benefits of Brexit?

Or are we going off on another line of ‘just because people voted for a whole host of (incidentally ALL either bad or wrong) motivations then we must commit economic suicide or self harm’?

Only a very very few Leavers wanted Brexit for achievable and logical goals. Unfortunately they were the exploiters set to make a quick buck and their motivations were entirely selfish.

The remainder voted Leave for a variety of reasons either conscious or subconscious. But all either misguided or wrong. Here are the themes.

Petty jealousy
Racism
Xenophobia
Nationalism
Nostalgia for an imagined past
Gullibility
Fear of change

In varying degrees. Hardly any are ‘honorable’ a few are perhaps understandable, but they are the ones that (irony of ironies) will be made much worse by Brexit.

Respect that?

Errrrrm...... No.

The other key thing is that in the two sets ‘Brexit of any kind’ and ‘things that are good for the country’, there is absolutely no overlap. Not one bit.

Any Brexit is bad. It needs to be stopped.

And before daz and the other apologists wade in with ‘you lot celebrating Leave voters losing their jobs demonstrates why they voted Leave in the first place’ crap for the umpteenth time......

Firstly, their minds were already made up due to the combination of the above motivations.

Secondly, I am not celebrating job losses as a result of Brexit. Any job losses must mean that there are less jobs to go around full stop. That is not good. Also, if someone burnt my house down, I wouldn’t celebrate in court when they got sent to prison. I’ve still had my ****ing house burnt down. But I wouldn’t have any sympathy either.

Ah yes, the former UKIP leader, long time MEP and leader of his own political party wants to stick it to the "political class".

....Just an aside, but why does all leave graphical design, the 'LEAVE MEANS LEAVE' nonsense Farage is stood in front of above, and the Global whatever the ERG display,

Why does it all look like it was designed in 1976? It looks like it's all being designed by the person who did all the graphical work for the first series of Tomorrows World?

Why?

The thrusting young bucks sitting in front of said logos should give you a clue.

So farage is charging people to march in the rain, but not doing it himself...

There's a metaphor for believing brexit's promises right there

Anyway if the senseless farce of Brexit is getting you down, this will cheer you up

350 people on that march mind, surely they've all got to be of the robust pensioner ilk? who else is going to spend hard earned holiday entitlement, or has the time to walk from Sunderland to London?

I hope Wetherspoons are offering a free pub lunch along the way for their efforts

I was trying to engineer being in London on Friday night/Sat but that fell through, would be nice for some regional ones but I can see the point of getting everyone to London and having the headline number up there. What I really hope is there is still something to vote on by then and people do not lose their nerve over May's deal.

Seems to me that Daz and Taxi want us to feed the Leavers berries because that's what they asked for.

Yeah, pretty much the answer I was expecting. I figured you'd got nothing.

No more unelected bureaucrats.

We're doing away with the house of lords and the civil service? That's news to me.

I’d love it if the gammon march (stagger most likely) came past me.

The best response in my mind would just be a street lined with people with their backs turned to the morons. Effectively saying “You’ve never been taken notice of, we’re not taking notice now, and never will. So you’re wasting your time. Now jog on, there’s good lads”.

You know that threat of a massive uprising - carnage on the streets - if Brexit is cancelled...
You know those 200 chumps who turned up to walk from Sunderland to Seaton Carew in the rain...

Does the vote in Parly this week mean TM is definately applying to the EU for a delay?

Yes, either to implement her deal or to come up with something else, it's contingent on what she can achieve before Wed which will be a call based on how many she has bribed by then to overturn their vocal and emphatic opposition to her deal.

JRM et al had the wet dream prospect of no deal dangling in front of them last time they voted.

What's that whiney noise??? Is it another brexiter complaining again without being able to answer the simple question about what is going to be so great about all of this....

All 17.8 million willing to take the 5% on income tax to pay off this folly.

Ha ha. It won’t be after about twenty miles. Half of the useless, overweight tossers will have either keeled over or jacked it in by then. Leather jackets with a shirt and tie and jeans ain’t great for hiking in.

It's about all I hear when I meet any these days, tory MP's on the TV certainly are, almost Trump level in terms of the world is picking on me as I try and circumvent legal and political process.

Watching that food programme on Friday night where they were talking about brexit.

They had a guy at Dover who said that the lorries would come in just as normal with no checks but have a month to file their paperwork afterwards.

So why are the government spending millions on extra ferries when according to this expert nothing will change?

When we've got Remain back and the Tories, I will be taking a trip down the street to see some of the homeless and telling them of how their lives have now been changed for the better because some people will never vote for Labour but seem to be happy with the EU+Tories which we all know has been so incredibly successful and beneficial for society as a whole.

“You’ve never been taken notice of, we’re not taking notice now, and never will. So you’re wasting your time. Now jog on, there’s good lads”.

The a***holes on Farage's march do not represent the core brexit voter. The 'gammons' as you call them are a small minority who shout very loud. The core brexit voter (at least in the north) are the likes of many of my family and old school friends who don't really have an interest or understanding of politics beyond how it immediately affects their daily lives, what they read in the paper and see on the 6 o clock news. If you want to defeat brexit, these are the people you need to get on side, not the nutters marching with Farage.

When we’ve got Remain back and the Tories,

Newsflash: Brexit isn't going off the rails because of us remainers- it's dying because the brexiteers don't like May's version of Brexit, if it fails speak to the ERG

But yeah it's easier to blame the people who said it was a dumb idea from the start 🙄
