Suella Braverman - sacked as Home Secretary (p394)

What potential concessions? We don't need their permission now and if anything it is worse that when the vote was taken. Anyone who wasn't blinkered by their own pet obsession could see that the main benefits spouted by the leavers were never going to be delivered.

Therein lies the reason Remain lost. Trotting out bollocks like “pet obsession” and “blinkered”.

The main reason they lost was the perfect storm of the anti immigrant rhetoric being backed by mainstream media and force fed into the many who only look at things in black and white.
The remain campaign was awful and they only have themselves to blame for being marginalised whilst the leave campaign went all patriotic bells and whistles.

A vote tomorrow would see a different result I reckon. As that’s not on the cards the U.K. have to swallow it and make the best of it, sadly until this government is gone it feels like you are in some kind of purgatory.

To most people politics isn't a hobby you have to spell it out, accepting that calling people racists and stupid even before they vote was not a great idea.

When I saw Geldof and the champagne cunts on the boat my heart sunk.

The unity demonstrated here on Brexit shows the true genius of bringing back into government the man whose cowardice (ahem, sorry, foresight) enabled the referendum that ushered it in.

Did you vote remain? Yet are opposed to unelected bureaucrats? Irony?

See talking bollocks is easy.

From an expert of whom we've had enough.

What? Did you tip a tin of alphabetti spaghetti in to a pan and just type the letters you saw?

Very true, and as well as that was calculated use of social to fill people’s feeds with bullshit scare stories that triggered people who normally have no interest in politics.

I think the saying goes “not all vote leaves are racists, but all racists voted leave”

That's not true as you can see from the below. Plenty of Remainers held racist attitudes as well. Not as big a percentage as Leave voters but a significant number nonetheless:

"Brits who voted Leave in the EU referendum are more likely to describe themselves as "racially prejudiced" than those who voted Remain, according to new research.

A survey of 2,220 people found that 34% of Leave voters admitted holding racist attitudes compared to 18% of Remain voters.

The study, conducted by the National Centre for Social Research, found 26% of Britons still described themselves as "very" or "a little" prejudiced towards people of other races."

Farage was everywhere and unfortunately was a convincing passionate LIAR compared to anyone on the remain campaign. Annoying as fuck looking back, remain were far too complacent just like Hilary was in her campaign.

Fixed

Good grief.

Did someone say "off piste"?

That's this thread, that is.

Sunak has the balls to bring back Cameron as he realises that appealing to racists and Leavers (and racist Leavers) is a policy of diminishing returns.

And we've had umpteen pages about "why Brexit?" rather than about why no MP in the existing Cabinet is good enough to occupy one of the great offices of State.

I think it's so he can go into a GE knowing that at least one member of the Cabinet can't lose his seat in the election.
