Well, yes, it's happening.

Why would you expect huge numbers of people to march about something that is happening?

Do you expect people to march and demand that the World Cup happens...when it's happening?

Come on Brexit is hardly the same as the world cup. Recent polls are showing a shift in attitudes. Remain is now well in front and most want a referendum on the deal. Thats a perfectly reasonable thing to request once we've seen what Brexit looks like. What are Brexiteers scared of?

How remainers 'imagine' public opinion supports their view.

The only poll that counts

over 17.4 million voting for Brexit.

Having just shared a train carriage with some of them I could probably most kindly describe these people as ignorant racist drunken thugs.

Well you would wouldn't you? Are we meant to be surprised?

So in spite of the fact that it is now clear that the majority of people, now that they have seen what brexit is going to look like and how incompetent this government has been in attempting to deliver it, are now opposed to the idea - you still think it should go ahead?

That’s pretty much as anti-democratic as it’s possible to be.

We're still waiting to hear what remain is supposed to look like.

You didn't want a referendum on the EU until you had one and lost but now you do. How hypocritical is that?

Well that was a great result.

Over 100,000 people marched in London demanding a second referendum today.

Those in favour of leaving the EU don't need to demonstrate. They won, remember?

Yep, we got on the bus then found out the driver is an imbecile who’s putting the passengers at risk. So we decided to abandon the journey and in fact, decide that the trip was never a good decision anyway.

Is the bus brexit or the EU?

Since all the polling shows a remain win, I'd expect anyone who said "will of the people without being ironic to back another referendum, otherwise they'd just be hypocrites?
