    Fixed that for you. ;)

    Not at all; everyone else has made their position clear and are largely just waiting for May to say what she wants so they can fill in the details.

    I had a quick [STRIKE]laugh[/STRIKE] look.
    The "findings" seem to be almost the exact opposite of what we see in these forums.
    :D

    Oh you must give us a link to where "everyone else has made their position clear" when the next round of negotiations haven't even started yet.
    BTW, May was very clear with what she expects from these negotiations.
    What a surprise (not) that you ignore that.
    A recap just for you:

    Comments left by Leavers contain nearly 40% more spelling mistakes and nearly 60% more grammatical errors than those by Remainers
    Leavers swear nearly 5 times more than Remainers
    As confirmed in this thread. :)
    Don't blame me, I voted Remain.

    Remainers don't do facts. On Twitter they cite the collapse of chain retail & restaurants as evidence of destructive Brexit.


    When they are pointed to countless articles on the GLOBAL demise of physical retail stores, they simply don't reply. US Malls are closing hand over fist as online retail booms.


    It is a fact that almost all of Project Fear is a lie, yet still the sanctimonious Remainer brigade cant see it.

    Whereas on here we’ve had someone claim as fact that remainers lied about Turkey not joining the EU because there is a meeting between those two parties.

    I can’t say whether or not this meeting will lead to Turkey joining the EU so I am in no position to claim that they won’t but I very much doubt it.

    Without Turkey's assistance. Then there would be continue to be a flood of economic migrants to the EU. Having no internal borders works well until it isn't. Turkey holds the upper hand.

    I think for some people remain is a new religion? Like lots of religions they have got it right and anyone who voted leave has got it wrong.

    Yes that’s right and leavers don’t feel the same at all.

    The EU provided the UK with a handy chart of options months ago, giving us a specific list of what deals suited which red lines.

    Until the UK picks one of them, there's nothing they can really do, and once the UK does pick one, most of the time will be spent on the small details.

    The EU's stance is largely thus: You're not getting a better deal that you had before, and your deal will be based on an existing one. Your red lines mean the options available to you are Canada or South Korea.

    There was the leave campaign, the remain campaign and the government's own campaign to remain with its unlimited resources and the entire civil service in support. Despite the overwhelming odds in its favour, the government still contrived to lose.

    And still the whinging continues nearly two years on. Pathetic.

    Please, please list the advantages of Britain leaving the EU.
    There will be no Brexit dividend for Britain.
