    Is this the sort of knuckle dragging loon you are in league with-

    The state of that. Sad thing is that this thinking is rife and it all comes down to immigration and nothing to do with fish &chips, bendy bananas the list goes on.

    Then surely we should also insist on a new crop of parliamentarians, not the feeble bunch we have now. Kick out all the two faced MPs and get some decent ones. Then again, something like that would probably take years to achieve.

    Next G.E. should be December 2019 when bozo Boris fails to deliver the impossible, next G.E. approx 12 months later when the next shower of anti semites fail. Sometimes you do get what you wish for. Sadly.

    Breathtaking but the norm from my perspective.

    When was the referendum? Oh yes, over three years ago now. In the time since, the government has failed to deliver Brexit. Arguably it has let down the electorate; but an electorate that no longer exists. The electoral dynamic has changed. Many of the old, backward-looking, lags who voted Leave have now died off, and a significant number of forward-looking young people who would vote Remain have come into the electorate. Hence we have a new electorate, so we must have a new referendum.


    God help us from these trumpets.

    Boris is doing the right thing, canada+ deal or we leave without one and keep the £39bn settlement bill to cushion the blow. Really can’t understand why remoaners are so outraged at that when the eu have set out to be as obnoxious as possible throughout the previous negotiations...it’s even been said there is no legal reason to pay the settlement bill other than a “gentleman’s agreement” and why act like that to people who have repeatedly thrown it in our face?...but of course none of this will happen as ultimately there are more remainers than leavers in parliament and no deal other than remain will be good enough for them.

    Let’s sit back and watch every conceivable deal rejected as the real issue is they don’t want to leave and all this talk of hard brexit is a smokescreen. Then welcome Farage, I know I will.

    You simply cannot support the proroguing of parliament and play the anti-democratic card at the same time and expect to be taken seriously.

    Proroguing parliament to force through a no-deal would be the most undemocratic thing a UK government has done for hundreds of years.

    It's quite alarming to see brexit fantasists becoming so desperately tribal that they're happy to see democracy utterly destroyed in the name of some playground negotiation strategy.

    Yes and ignoring 52% of the public who voted to leave is so pro-democratic isn’t it? You remainers really need to look in the mirror as you make me sick.

    I've read that a couple of times and it still doesn't make sense.

    Why are you so mad anyway? Brexit won't make your life any better unless you're a hedge fund manager looking forward to shorting the tanking British economy.

    You really think if we leave without a deal we won’t have to pay the EU some money? Dream on!

    Show me a hardened Brexiteer and I will show you a non educated failure in life, probably without their own home who just wants to get his own back on the people he is jealous of who have made something of their lives.

    To some, Brexit will always be a great idea regardless of what happens. Hopefully they’ll have been correct all along and the U.K. will prosper but I haven’t seen any evidence to suggest that that outcome is at all likely.

    What seems certain, though, is that if things don’t go swimmingly the blame will be put on everyone but those who voted for it.

    I’m more relaxed about the situation than this post might suggest. It’s going to happen and I’m prepared for it as best I can be.
