Two weeks tonight.

Can't wait as I've had a 47 year hatred of the Common Market / EU / Ever Closer Union.

That’s a long time to hold a grudge. Hope your life changes for the better on the 31st and sorry to hear how badly your life has been ruined by eu membership. I’m the opposite, I expect my life to be ruined from 1st February
 
I think most remainers have accepted the Brexit referendum result
And I think most people have accepted it’s been a complete waste of time.
That you make the 2nd statement suggests that you are not one of those Remainers that have accepted the Brexit referendum result

Not hearing many Leavers stating that it’s been a complete waste of time

Even if the figures did suggest that many wanted to remain, you still can't dispute that we are predominately a eurosceptic country.

I voted remain purely because I didn't think we'd do as well, I'd leave though if we could avoid any pain and the trend obviously will be that at least 'some' remainers would too.

The 48% that voted remain aren't all out marching on the streets for remain I can tell you that. If they were and that figure outweighed the 52% then we'd be remaining but we aren't. Leave has won every single decisive election on the matter since the 2015 GE.

The rest of remainers couldn't care less because it's happening and we all need to move on. What is left is isolationist Lib Dems and Labour Twitter warriors, the kind who spouted about a Labour victory last month which quickly turned into ash.

It's gone and the sooner we all accept that it is happening, the sooner we can start arguing instead for what's best for the country afterwards.
Great post

There are a dwindling number that simply cannot accept, not just the Brexit referendum result, but the reality of January 2020.

During 2016-2019 they took comfort in and hid behind claims that the referendum was unfair - now, the 'remaining' arguments seem to be a form of, licking their wounds, whilst posting about 'technical' majorities and hoping for bad news to emerge that can be blamed on Brexit.

The number will keep reducing - indeed, from a Leaver POV and after suffering all the machinations and protest at Westminster it has been quite satisfying to see the almost total collapse of resistance and protest.

Of course there are a small number of diehards - such as: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...it-protester-says-after-uk-vote-idUSKBN1YH25F - that are so entrenched that they cannot 'let it go'.
 
My experience of the "young" generation? They don't give two shits about things like "federal Europe" or "a unified EU". And the generation after them will be growing up in a UK that is no longer part of the EU/EEC following a wartime regeneration period. There's no sense of dependency or urgency like there once was.

The 'Younger' Generations simply don't care about or have as deeply run passions as the millennial+ generations do about Europe. If we do go back in to the EU, I find that it'll be because of the older millennials, not Gen Z and younger, so Verhofstadt is pretty clueless about this issue here. The love of the EU project was a generational thing, and these younger generations either don't care or won't have been exposed to it.
Correct - Implementing the project in the UK depended on politicians taking that direction - through signing up to treaties whilst promising then reneging on promises to consult the public - and the majority of the population not knowing or caring.

Remain posters have made much of '...before 2016 most people were not bothered about the EU...' - I suspect that will become the state of affairs in reality in the years to come

You can't even be honest about that. Bray gave up a month ago.

He's still right.

In a victory speech, Johnson appeared to refer to Bray, saying: “I say respectfully to our stentorian friend in the blue 12-star hat: ‘Time to put a sock in the megaphone and give everybody some peace.’”

“My response to Boris Johnson? ‘When you stop telling lies and start being honest with the British people, I’ll put a sock in it,” Bray said.
 
Can’t tell if this a parody account or not?



Thank fuck I will be in brussels that day rather than watching this wanky shite going on.

What a waste of time and money, I expect 11:01pm will feel no different than 10:59pm except to the sad fucks that are ardent leave or remain.

Both sides get over yourselves and get on with life, money could be spent on important things.

I guess the bell donors will be happy to give it to a charity. Overseas aid? Refugee support?

Is that silly prick Bray (how apt), still dressing up like a five year old let loose in a fancy dress shop?
Says he's going to carry on with his stop Brexit stunts, this nutter finds the time and inclination for pointless
futile activities very easily it seems.

To accept the result of the referendum you don't have to think the process is actually a good idea. I think brexit is one of the most ridiculous, self harming economic decisions that has been taken by a country in recent years.

This country isn't a cult where all must accept every single decision as a fantastic idea.

The truth is, as always, in between. His life hasn’t been ruined by EU membership and yours won’t be for being out of the EU.

You are sinking further and further down to the level of those that post without thinking / reading things through in their haste to try and score a cheap point

This is another post that offers nothing - the quotes you provide come from that article I link as does his statements of intent to carry on protesting...….

“The fight carries on, absolutely,” Bray told Reuters on Friday outside parliament, dressed in his usual uniform of a blue and yellow hat - the colours of the EU flag - and wearing a large joint Union Jack and EU flag on his back.

“I’m going to do everything I can, and I’m sure millions of other people will too. Whilst we are still in the European Union there is hope, albeit the odds are stacked against us. Rome was not built in a day.”

…...- even if not outside Westminster. The fact that protests outside Westminster have stopped is a fact that I have welcomed in my posts.

The main point of my post was to commend the quality of the post from @inbetween and also to note that there are a reducing number of diehards that are unable to get off their treadmill because they are lost in their habit of protesting. He was given as an example - you seem to be becoming another one.

Your post just confirms the veracity of my point
