I've just fucking explained it to you for fucks sake.

'You' as in NOBODY will get away with this. Leave or remain, it doesn't matter, if you go down this road you end up winning badly or losing badly.

Your side seems to think that leaving will somehow be different, & easier, because it had a narrow majority some years ago.

It all starts again, whether we leave or remain. It will probably get worse as more resentment sets in.

The resentment is in and will never go now.

Parliament has let us all down and can answer for it at the next GE.

The above doesnt mean we revoke though as if its some sort of cure all that will bring us all together.

You took part in democracy, a referendum and had you won you would have expected, rightly so to remain.

I expect the same democratic standards that is all.
 
Well all this shit, costing the country billions, families to argue, jobs to be lost, is so far just about the agreement to BEGIN talks.

It will have to be some kind of raging success, to smooth over what happens next. Seeing as even those behind it are now scared to predict that, then how long before we have angry leave voters complaining about being sold a bag of shit, after leaving ?

Does it suit the extreme right & left, to smooth this over afterwards, or is their cause better served by dividing further ?


It’s not costing the country billions , save for our ongoing contribution

Our economy is performing better than Germany’s and they don’t have this issue

Costing jobs ? , the number of people in work has never been higher and our unemployment rate is lower than across the Eu . Why do you think so many people want to come here to live - jobs

I can imagine there would be arguments in your family .

And you should be happy that over 3 years since the referendum we are still in the Eu and it could still be the case in a year from now .
 
I take your point about it being acrimony either way. It does seem a little convenient to say the least that the only possible solution you can see just happens be what you wanted to happen anyway.
What’s the other solution?
Fuck the economy, ignore the GFA or break up the UK. Maybe all three. All current versions of leave will give us at least one of those outcomes. But hey, we voted for it so bring it on.
 
Exactly.
A compromise that most on both sides would grudgingly accept is what should be being pursued but the ideologues in power aren’t interested.

The indicative votes showed exactly why this parliament has let us all down as nothing got a majority, nothing.

The ideologues on both sides are to blame.

Full employment, better economy than Germany but still in the EU. Why are we leaving? Seems to be more to do with inequality and austerity than the EU, but people who voted leave because of those two things are putting their faith in men who believe fervently in those two things. It cannot end well.
 
Would you support a Norway style EEA/EFTA Brexit?

Yep but as i just said, the SNP wont, neither will change uk or whatever name they go by or the Lib Dems or PC or the ERG and sizeable numbers of Cons and Labour.

There is zero point in even discussing these options anymore with this parliament.

In total the Treasury has allocated £4.2 billion towards government departments for Brexit preparations since 2016, which breaks down as:

  • £0.7 billion in 2017/18
  • £1.5 billion in 2018/19 (the focus of Labour’s claim)
  • £2 billion in 2019/20
This is not all the money that the government plans to spend on Brexit—as some departments’ pre-existing budgets will be used for Brexit preparation too.

So we stick to talking about ones that would get even less support and would fuck up the country.

You took part in democracy, a referendum and had you won you would have expected, rightly so to remain.

I expect the same democratic standards that is all.

And had we 'won' , Farage & the ERG would have said 'we go again' & immediately started on with 'It's too close to call' etc. If we have one now, it may be reversed & then they will continue just the same if it is reversed.

I didn't 'take part' in a referendum, I attempted to stop my rights to travel & work from being taken away from me.

If they are taken away, I then begin the fight to get them back.

And the Withdrawal Agreement passing through, is the beginning of the shit, not the end.

The interesting thing in this thread, has been the ongoing threat of how leavers might react, if they don't get their result.

The people who voted leave put their faith in democracy and what good that did them

We can discuss whatever we like on here.

Fact is parliament wont because of the ideologues on both sides of the debate and im afraid the remain ones outnumber the no deal ones.

Just look at the indicative votes and the way parties voted and its damning in that many in there just want to revoke and regardless of the deal on offer, they will not vote for it.

Thats fine, its their sovereign right but it just delays the inevitable and they will be the first to moan when BP MP's are voted in and sat in their places.

They dont want to have a say in how we brexit at all, they just want to stop it and that isnt going to happen.

No, I'm not happy at all to have 3 years of this fucking shite put on me & to now be losing work.

And actually, there are few leavers left in my family. Some are dead & most of the others are now remain, even the Tory pensioner ones.

Im not Farage or the ERG.

Had remain won by one single vote that would have been the end of the matter as far as i am concerned.

Anything other than that I'm not arsed about discussing, honestly, especially the bit at the end because its seemingly your wishful thinking, so much so you went off in a rant about it in another thread earlier and basically fabricated things to suit which wasn't really on.

Leave voters however have not had to be vocal so far as they expect and rightly so for us to leave as per the result.

I've little doubt though if we dont, then protest will start and surely you will supportive of that in a democracy given your own fight as you put it?

Cheers. I couldn't be arsed finding it ;)
 
So that’s you, blueinsa and MB who would accept it. Myself, NevNev and BJ have all previously said similar. That only leaves the Brextremists like Corporal Jones and 1632 who wouldn’t have it.
Problem is it would need an extension to work out the detail and a government willing to talk to the opposition and to ignore large groups within its own ranks as well as its confidence & supply partners in NI. It would also have the Mail and Express screeching about betrayal and the Tories would be wiped out in the next GE, so Johnson is more likely to use every trick in the book to engineer no deal.
Basically we’re fucked.

Protest as much as you want.

Had remain won, nothing would have changed so far as rights etc are concerned. 17 million people voted for 'a change' to their & others lives. Had they lost, nothing new would have been 'done' to them, the result would mean they lost the chance to gamble on 'a change' being to their benefit.

Those who voted remain, or didn't vote, are having it 'done' to them & things taken away.

Many of the 'others' resent it being done to them.

What makes you feel better, a 0-0 draw where City didn't play as well as you would have liked, or a 0-0 draw where City didn't play that well but score in injury time & v.a.r. takes the goal away, with a decision you totally disagree with ?

It depends on how each views their position.
