    Isn't it a laugh watching people that just don't learn from past mistakes, because insulting loads of people has obviously worked so well up until now. It's not like it's one big reason why we're headed for this No Deal Brexit they're so worried about in the first place.


    To be fair, if you voted to ruin your country to spite someone telling you that you're stupid, then you're undoubtedly stupid.


    Though Remain rarely called Leavers stupid - they were lied to by very convincing and manipulative liars, so it's not hard to see why some people would be taken in by it. I'd have voted Leave if I thought any of the promises were actually achievable.

    So the EU is deciding our future while we wait outside for their decision......and it seems to me that they are doing what they can to rescue us from our awful Prime Minister. We should be grateful to them.

    It won`t, and I suppose it is encouraging that you can start to see that, all the Remain campaign did was patronise and belittle people`s views, that is why it failed and looks even more ridiculous as the hour of the Leave victory approaches.
    It may have failed 3 years ago, but what make ye of this unprecedented exponentially successful petition of the last 24 hours:

    Remember the good old days, back in 2017, when May was still threatening the EU and happily strolling in her clown trousers.

    I thought that being PM aged Tony Blair prematurely, but he’s a veritable Dorian Gray when you look at what the past two years has done to Theresa May...

    Unless something significant happens then we will leave with no deal on the 29th.

    What do you think will change?

    One way or another they will get some more time, you'll see.

    The no deal will happen, but it will be in about 2 months time.

    We are in for every hard times for the UK.

    This will be the start of hard times, and will last for several years.

    The good news is that hard times create hard men. And hard men create soft times. Soft times create soft men, soft men create hard times and the cycle repeats.

    We have all grown up in soft times, that our grandfathers created who were hard men from hard times.

    It is high time for me to put an end to your sitting in this place,

    which you have dishonored by your contempt of all virtue, and defiled by your practice of every vice.

    Ye are a factious crew, and enemies to all good government.

    Ye are a pack of mercenary wretches, and would like Esau sell your country for a mess of pottage, and like Judas betray your God for a few pieces of money.

    Is there a single virtue now remaining amongst you? Is there one vice you do not possess?

    Ye have no more religion than my horse. Gold is your God. Which of you have not bartered your conscience for bribes? Is there a man amongst you that has the least care for the good of the Commonwealth?

    Ye sordid prostitutes have you not defiled this sacred place, and turned the Lord's temple into a den of thieves, by your immoral principles and wicked practices?

    Ye are grown intolerably odious to the whole nation. You were deputed here by the people to get grievances redressed, are yourselves become the greatest grievance.

    Your country therefore calls upon me to cleanse this Augean stable, by putting a final period to your iniquitous proceedings in this House; and which by God's help, and the strength he has given me, I am now come to do.

    I command ye therefore, upon the peril of your lives, to depart immediately out of this place.

    Go, get you out! Make haste! Ye venal slaves be gone! So! Take away that shining bauble there, and lock up the doors.

    In the name of God, go! Oliver Cromwell 1653

    Where's Olivers Army when we need them.
