Except that it wasn't on EU membership as the EU did not exist until nearly 20 years later.
So you're all for referendums when things change. How much more does Brexit need to change before it isn't what the people voted about?
It already shares nothing in common with what was promised.0 -
Guy at work that is really pro EU thinks all countries should be as one ... i think thats what a lot of people want
I think your guy at work is very much in the minority; in all the decades I've been on this planet not one other single person has expressed those same views to me.Every generation blames the one before...

I completely agree, the referendum on EU membership in 1975 should stand!
I would be happy for that to stand.
It was the common market then, purely the common market with no politics around it. I would have been happy to remain in the common market with no political ties.
Of course, the fact that they always intended it to go the way it has and planned to conceal that until such time as no-one could escape the clutches of the [STRIKE]German[/STRIKE] euro bloc means that they were always going to turn round and say get stuffed.What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare0 -
It's trivial to escape the "clutches of the euro bloc" provided you want to do sway with all of the benefits of being in the euro bloc.
Plus almost all of the rules are about enabling trade and fairness that are vital to a single market.0 -

That's what happens when remainers are left to run the negotiations. The so called Withdrawal Agreement is a travesty of what the majority voted for. But of course, the government thinks it knows what’s best for us and anyone who thinks otherwise is thick.0 -

Yes but what do Leavers actually want from negotiations that can be delivered.
Safe to say that any answer saying that a hard Brexit will be fine and any negative economic consequences are project fear will not be taken seriously.0 -
If there's going to be any food shortages it'll be in the country that isn't self sufficient in food that's abandoning it's part in the giant trade bloc to put up barriers that only isolate it from everyone else.
Although the rioting and panicking at Tesco's as Leave voters realise that supplies of Pringles are drying up will be quite entertaining.FREXIT? French protesters call for EU EXIT as Macron fails to control DEADLY Paris riots
Now lets see you direct your bile towards those oh-so-villainous 77% of French that think increasing fuel prices are worth such demonstrations. I suspect you won't hate them as much as you seem to hate the British though.0 -

The point you are so spectacularly missing is that the French blame their own government for French problems, rather than someone else's.
So not really like Brexiteers at all then.0
