Ernie lynch, kind of side stepped the questions that were asked...

I'm sure if that is the case it doesn't need you to point it out 💡

binners, did you know there was merchandise?

I'm happy enough with your answer ernie, you've made your position very clear and I don't think a more detailed answer would add anything much.

Any other leave voters who might want to chip in would be interesting though.

Apart from Gove. A man so monumentally blinded by his own ego, and idealogical fervour, that he thinks this is an opportunity rather than an absolute ****ing enormous catastophe

doesn't have the charisma for it

Way to launch a campaign.

Remarkably honest. Who suspected?

Its almost like he doesn't want to stick around to clear up this almighty cluster **** either, isn't it.

And the labour party a making sure that its nothing to do with them for any time in the forceeable future.

Government of this country, post-Brexit, really is the huge steaming hot turd that nobody wants in their hands

He even said he didn't want the job and doesn't have the charisma for it

That was before his Wife told him he was doing it....

It's almost as if they wished we hadn't taken back control 😉

Leave voter here too. Happy with result - not happy with the poisonous reaction from the Remain supporters.
It seems there are a lot of stories of Leave voters now regretting it ... and they all seem to originate from Remain voters.

To be fair, you'd not really expect to hear about that from the leave side, would you, that'd be a bit weird. "Hooray we won! But here's someone who changed their mind and thinks that was a mistake, let's see what they have to say." Not really Farage or Johnson's style, that...

[Edit: oh well, it was civil enough for a while there. Never mind.]

That's not true.

There is no polling which suggests that there is any significant "bremorse". I voted remain but am happy to accept the result, we just need to get on with it now, this seems to be the overidding attitude of my friends and acquaintances, who again are predominately remainers.

EDIT: in fact more remainers regret their decision.

What do you think you will get in the end?

This is the key question. Was does "Leave" mean?? What arrangement is it with the EU do you want? How much immigration?

It raises far more questions that it answers

(PS: "I want my country back" or "I want the UK to take control" are meaningless answers that don't explain anything)

EDIT: in fact more remainers regret their decision.

Seeing as the right-hand chart adds up to 101%, can we assume there's a rounding error that makes any difference between it and the middle one, [s]statistically insignificant?[/s] a clear and decisive majority

🙂

The main point I was making is that the anecdotal evidence of "bremorse" is not backed up by polling - but the statistical evidence for there being more remoreful remainers was an added bonus - so I am with JC and stickng to my guns.

There are/were cretins voting for both Leave and Remain.

Those pictures of graffiti came from a minority of cretins within the Leave side.
The cretins that appear to have made up the majority of the Remain side simply wrote their nonsense all over social media etc.

Both groups of cretins are/were as bad as each other.

there does seem to be a propensity to believe that those who voted the same as oneself were all right minded individuals whereas the opposition couldn't chew gum and walk at the same time.

I think you will struggle to convince kimbers that 52% of voters aren't hate-filled racists.

Farage hasn't gone … he'll be back, as a Tory … then he'll run for PM.

Unless the Lib-Dem resurgence continues and are elected to halt "Brexit".

perhaps he consoles himself with the fact it's only 37% of the electorate 😉

I think he's a nob, so glad he's off.

Is his career change going to Gogglebox now to hang out with Steph and Dom?

Good point, 28% of the electorate don't seem bothered that 52% of voters are hate-filled racists.

I'm not sure whether that's much consolation for kimbers.

ill give you that 52% of voters are either hate filled or racist, they dont have to be both 😉 tho farige, definitely ticks both boxes

There is some truth to that I guess.
However, I have not seen any anti-immigrant graffiti around the area where I live, which had a big Leave vote, nor have I heard any anti-immigrant comments from people in the area I have spoken to.
Comparing this to the things I have read in the news, and on social media by people I know who voted Remain ... it does seem the overwhelming majority of Remainers are poisonous, hate filled cretins.

comes on social media to complain about people writing nasty things on social media ............................. by writing nasty things about them 😳

I'll post it again for mooman's sake 😆

Not so much complaining - just emphasising the fact.

Nigel having a well earned pint on the first day or his real life.

*puts up hand to being a hate filled cretin*

*puts gum in mouth, tries to stand up, falls over*

Actually although I in in the Remain camp things are turning out quite nicely for "moi" 5% corporate tax cut (more cash in the back pocket) and an interest rate cut to what's left of my base rate mortgage- probably £5k extra this year. Now then how did the pensioners and the working poor do? From these strategic Brexit defence moves?

Most of the Leave voters I've spoken to (there are not many in this group; they're kindof hard to come by in these parts) are saying the same thing; they didn't expect to win and only voted that way to give Cameron a bloody nose, a good old fashioned protest vote that in their own words, has gone horribly wrong.

Are the remain voters making all these stories up?? Absolutely everyone I know has voted leave and has absolutely no regrets whatsoever, this hasn't been a spur of the moment vote for the majority of leavers as some of the sore spoilt remainers would have you believe...accept the fact that the majority of the country don't want to be in an unelected dictatorship group that holds up the rest of the eu countries.

 

Are the bookies taking bets on how many days Farrage can manage to stay out the limelight?

Corp tax cut is a nice offset to the dividend tax 😀

I need interest rates to go up though. Mortgage paid off and money is in savings.

Unless I buy a new house, which I really need to for extra space (for bikes 😀 ), then low interest again.

I'm old enough now to be paying attention to how the pension fund is going though and still feeling rather depressed at the predicted income, despite chucking a fair amount at it.

cameroooon resigns, blair hopefully arrested after chilcott for war crimes, chris evans resigns,boris gone for a long bike ride,thatcher forgotten about,and the conservatives falling apart. all great news for us soicialists.

and JC stays in power despite the media doing its best to damm him

chris evans resigns.................all great news for us socialists.

😆

[i]blair hopefully arrested after chilcott for war crimes[/i]

Chilcott is not reporting anything on whether war crimes were committed - it's not part of what he was investigating.

He's looking at the background to the tart of the war, not it's execution.

While Chilcot won't have looked into the legality of the war he will, among other things, report on whether Parliament was deliberately misled by Blair.

Blair could be impeached for lying to Parliament, if not for lying to the British people, the UN, and the whole world.

For the time being at least he is likely to escape arrest for Crimes Against the Peace and for acting contrary to the Nuremberg judgement which stated :

[i] To initiate a war of aggression, therefore, is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole.[/i]

No doubt that scumbag will come out of it with a sainthood.

He's looking at the background to the tart of the war, not it's execution.

Lets hope it isn't Bakewell, I hate almonds. Jam would be nice or a lovely pear and chocolate crumble one I had a while ago. 😀

My understanding is you can only be impeached if you hold elected office.

I'm not sure why that's your understanding mefty, my understanding is that anyone can be put on trial before the House of Lords if MPs vote to do so.
