We can all see where the frothing is - & it's not Brexiters.
That would be by some remainers are resorting to blogs and hearsay as a means of propping up their misplaced beliefs.
The following might help you to understand why your hoped-for 2nd referendum stands so little chance.

No they haven't. Blubbing Daily Mail headlines about interfering eurocrats stealing your freedom when you can't name a single instance of this happening, is not listing an advantage.
You hate EU laws, but can't name a single one that has inconvenienced you or that the UK has formally objected to.
You persist in complaining that EU officials are unelected while being apparently ignorant of the fact that they are appointed by elected officials of each constituent country, exactly like in the UK parliament.
OK, it's not exactly the same as our Parliament. As a proud British patriot you have a hereditary head of state, a hereditary aristocracy ruling over you that still that has 92 hereditary Lords sitting in the second chamber for no other reason than accident of birth.
Which makes them all right at home with the British civil service whose main recruitment criteria is whether you walk into the interview wearing a tie from Eton or Harrow.
If only those corrupt Europeans would learn from us.
There used to be an empire in eastern Europe where laws were made by unelected officials who handed them down to an elected but toothless parliament to carry out their bidding. For the Politburo you can substitute European Commission and for Duma you can substitute the European Parliament. That empire collapsed suddenly and unexpectedly as most empires do.0 -
You're thinking of the wrong house surely?
Either that or the old eyesight isn't what it once was.

With the appointment of Martin Selmayr how far down this route has the EU got?

Especially in light of the EU not accepting the findings of the EU ombudsman.0 -
Meanwhile here are the depths some remainers will stoop to just to push their agenda, using young children & provoking such a backlash that Twitter almost went into meltdown!
* WARNING *
The following clip may be considered distasteful.
:eek:
We can do this all day if you want but all it really proves is that - *shock alert* - there are idiots on both sides of the Brexit stance.
May I politely suggest now that from now on restraint is shown by both parties here rather than giving the appearance of being one of them?
