    Spot on. In this sense a Brexit under Cornyn makes much more sense. The Brexit Tories just want to run the economy in exactly the same way just with less regulation.

    You are agreeing with someone who doesn't even live in the UK and has no intention of returning. :eek:

    Corbyn you are having a laugh. Becoming a joke act. Rather than a credible leader of the opposition. Labours stance on Brext is simply anti Tory. Covered ever base to vote down whatever deal is agreed. Where was Corbyn on Saturday? No where near the march convieniently.

    Couldn't agree more if you listen to Keir Starmer It is obvious thier 6 tests are designed to stop them voting for any deal May brings back and seems to be saying they can get a deal that means staying in customs union without having to accept 4 freedoms.

    Why does where they live have any bearing? They said something I agree with. I’m no fan of Corbyn, my point was that at least he has plans to shake up the way the economy works. The Tories don’t and in that sense I think they are not actually trying to understand the bigger picture of why people voted out, they are just using it in their own interests.

    Unless a Government wakes up to this and does something about it the problem will continue to grow.

    The problem is not the government ignoring those concerns now but ignoring before the referendum.


    The problem is both, surely?

    We don't know what they are going to do in future admittedly brexit is taking up to much time in Parliament but if they had addressed concerns before we might not be in position we now are.

    I agree it was a mistake having a second referendum and whose fault was that all those MPs who are now trying to stop us leaving. Out of touch then and out of touch now.

    That was the first referendum we have had on the eu. The previous one was on continuing membership of the common market.

    If we had had a referendum on the Maastricht treaty then we would either be out of in for sure, this messing around would not have happened.
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare

    The fact remains if we hadn't had the recent referendum we would not be where we are I voted remain but leave won, I have really accepted results and realise we must now leave and further more I don't think it's possible to return to things as they were before referendum. Personally I would have preferred we didnt have referendum and was amazed at support it had in Parliament as I though leave would win.

    Still not sure what the issue is with that comment, sorry.

    I think they are spot on that the government has forgotten what the real underlying reasons were for the leave vote.

    Perhaps not. But the general discontent, as is increasing elsewhere, would have have surfaced in one form or another. No empire has survived for ever.
