    "end of story" ... What a ridiculous, naive suggestion.

    At the next General Election, when the Tory party wipes the floor with the opposition, you think the very next day everyone who voted Labour or UKIP should renounce all their beliefs, accept they lost and join the Conservatives?

    Is that your idea of a democracy where the minority side should just shut up and never again utter a word that doesn't support the views of the majority? (Regardless of the fact that the majority voted the way they did because of lies and deceit.)

    It was never a promise. Infact it was never even stated as such.

    Seriously?!? I must have imagined those huge posters that said "Let's give our NHS the £350 million the EU takes every week."

    Your take on the issue is disingenuous even for you!

    Any remainers that don`t like the result can try their luck in N. Korea.

    I think that the vast majority of us remainers have accepted the result but if a more onyx poster repeatedly starts threads boasting that he was on the right side then of course those who disagree with them will voice their opinion. I personally feel that these threads serve no purpose and should be ignored but I'm bored at the moment and have nothing better to do.

    Besides that, we all know that had the result been exactly the reverse we'd have had brexiteers bemoaning the vote and demanding a rerun. Farage himself declared as much in the days leading up to the vote.

    Agreed.

    That doesn't necessarily mean the end to immigration or sending money to the EU (although in all likelihood it will) but leave the EU we will.
