    Brilliant, Brilliant, Brexit!

    Less than 9000 hours to go before 'third country' day!

    John Edward, of Open Britain, said: "Our largest ever National Day of Action is all about bringing together the various pro-European groups so that we can speak with one, unified voice, because we know that together we are stronger."

    Hilarious, less than 20 people:rotfl:

    From what I'm seeing, that's more than they managed anywhere else. Which must be why there is such huge media coverage of the massive crowds.

    Note he's signing the top of the sheet - is he the only one that's signed? :D

    I think they should have offered free chocolate. They'd have been busy then. :rotfl:

    Re: the bolded - no you're not. I and others have tried and the one changing topic is most frequently you, which is why many said they would put you on "ignore" not long ago.

    As for the rest it is sadly nothing more than the usual drivel, and mostly from people who have little or no experience like the one suggesting we should all go out in our cars and try to run over foxes as that would apparently be less of a "thrill" than hunting! :eek::eek:

    Except no-one suggested that at all. But sure. Add me to your ignore lost if you want:)

    Star Trek captain on BBC Marr if 'people's vote' rejects vote we stay in the union'

    I see the pro Brexit justification has now moved on to the assumption that the UK treats animals with slightly less brutal hypocrisy than European countries do.

    Well now we are out of the EU we have utterly no say on animal welfare in the region in which we leave. Yay, go us. Wave a little flag and buy a celebratory Daily Mail.

    Any chance of having all that in English please?

    We are not "out of the EU" yet. We don't have any say on animal welfare in any country other than our own, why should we? Does the EU have any say on animal welfare in non-EU countries?

    And above all, what's the point of your post, because we've been through it all a few pages ago. Or do you want to return to buses, wars and recessions too? Do keep up please, instead of waving your Wolfie Smith-style urban guerilla waffle at people who laugh at it as they did at Citizen Smith.

    'Wave a little flag.... blah de blah Daily Mail....'

    Methinks you give yourself away.

    How is that whole persuading Leave voters that they are not really bad people but were led astray by putinbots, multi millionaires afraid of tax reform, Sir Nige, the 'deep state', little green beings from Mars, clever but allegedly naughty(because remain say they are) algorithms that allegedly scraped social media,........etc. going?

    Launching a remoaniac campaign in Camden, what a brave move!

    The delusional taliking to the delusional, soubry and chuker upper massaging each others egos, whilst the starship Enterprise tells he voted for the federation (EU) and the klingons (Leavers) would now want a second vote.

    Are they looking for a star wars actor to reinforce the point?

    The Empire (EU) attempts to stifle any resistence by sending Michel 'darth vader' Barnier to talk about 'a la carte'............

    The actual actions of the remaining remoaniacs is beginning to reach the satire levels of Swift fiction?

    They still don't quite twig one of the key dynamics in this whole affair.

    Telling people they made a mistake from the confines of a relatively wealthy part of the country, close to the halls of power, is the same method George Osborne would have adopted.

    Talk of 'reversing the Brexit decision' is pure nonsense. There is no reverse gear option. There is just an outcome where the UK ends up accepting the EU dictating new terms.
