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

Errant nonsense. As you say I was against having a referendum so why should I accept it. Besides we all know the mess we are in. When you're in a hole it's a good idea to stop digging and democracy is not set in stone. Again what are you scared of?

What do the most impoverished peoples on the planet think of posh, entitled white Brits applauding the theft of their vital Doctors & nurses as they cant be bothered with training enough of their own?

I dont know Conrad what do impoverished people think?

Interesting FT article suggesting that May's Brexit plan is hid:ing in plain sight and that what she wants is a single market for goods but not services:

Unbelievable. If so that would probably be her last action as PM.

Well that was a great result.

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

The counter protest by those in favour of leaving the EU attracted just a few hundred....

I heard that the anti Brexit march wasnt a success so they are demanding another one.

The really funny thing is that before the referendum that is exactly what Farage said the brexiteers would demand if they lost by a small margin...

PS: if the brexiteers really thought they’d won, why on Earth were they making any sort of demonstration yesterday?

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.

Nailed it. One of the best descriptions of the national self-harm that is brexit. Thank you.

The sad irony is its being driven over a cliff by a driver held hostage by Taliban loons.

We don't know what mess we're in unless you are talking about the one created by those who refuse to accept the result. It's people like you who are scared.

You might want to wait for the outcome of negotiations and then you can decide whether or not it's a mess. But whatever the outcome, you've already decided it's going to be a mess.
