    Which is pretty much what the leave campaign promised, and what they actually delivered. Except it wasn’t even a nut burger, it was a badly-polished t*rd.

    At least you agree that you got what they promised.
    I'm still waiting for the recession, the emergency budget, the millions of jobs lost and the war that the remain campaign threatened us with.

    It's all mad Ted/Nige, well it shows us a lot I think....... Add in the debacle in Westminster, and honestly who would think the UK is a great country anymore. Sad and mad now.

    Sure some will justify it by saying this or that, but it is quite unreal now.

    That was the outcome of the referendum, unfortunately that seems to have been forgotten by many and currently be of little value:(

    Who cares what the outcome of the referendum is now! Look at the deal we've ended up with. That's the future!

    I do because that was the whole purpose of the exercise.

    What deal have we ended up with?

    Because our leaders are self-centred muppets and unable to understand the extreme damage they are doing to our country and the democracy that feeds them and their egocentric circus we end up looking like lap dogs begging.

    We had a similar situation when Tony Bliar rolled over for Bush and we squandered vast resources going back to Iraq.

    Would the shareholders of a company stand for the board behaving in such manner? I doubt it very much they would have been voted out a long time ago.

    Dissolve Parliament, they cannot deliver what the population want and lets get back to delivering what the referendum decided.

    Brexit, simples.

    We do not live on a flat earth. We will not fall over a cliff edge. If you think that then maybe you should consider very carefully what might happen when you get up everyday.

    No different from any other country though.
    ;)
    France with rioters in the streets & Spain too with their Catalonia debacle ongoing; outside the EU with Venezuela - who's their President?
    Migrant masses on the USA/Mexico border.
    Two nuclear-capable countries threatening each other with mass destruction.

    With such realities across the world, relying on Twitter feeds to suggest what some consider to be "quite unreal" relative to this country is of little relevance in a global context.

    Unfortunately Brexit is a UK thing. Admittedly if it happens it will affect other countries in Europe also.

    The point is, that Twitter shows things that MSM will not report on.

    Hard Brexiteers just didn't bother showing up did they?

    Anyway, I am a bit weary of it all by now, and very saddened by how Brexit is polarising the country. Led by charlatans like Farage and a similar group in Parliament, who sure know what they do not want, but haven't a clue what they DO want!

    No - you misunderstood. Leave promised a turkey dinner, and then delivered something significantly worse than a nut burger. And have utterly failed to take any responsibility for what they have done.

    Day two of the #MarchToLeave.



    77 people including photographers. :rotfl:

    Everyone is ridiculing the 77, but the ones who deserve ridicule are the millions who got out of bed at 2 in the afternoon, kicked a pile of empty Pringles cans and Dominos takeaway boxes out of the way to open their front doors, and then went and voted for Brexit during the actual referendum.

    I can respect people who want Brexit to go ahead enough that they'll join a march for it. Less so those who when asked why they voted can only scratch their heads, let out a fart, and then reply, "Dunno foreigners."

    I almost hate to tell you this - but they haven't actually done anything yet.
    In case you forgot, the date we leave was set as Friday 29th March.
    As we are not yet there and also have not yet settled anything, your hoots of derision are somewhat premature.

    This will undoubtedly please many here.
