Like I said, Jack, try giving it a chance. We're leaving, that was the majority decision. Had it gone the other way with the same margin, I would have accepted it. Why can't you?

I have just wasted 5 minutes of my life reading that left wing, nationalistic drivel. Clearly some people believe this nonsense.

Or the BBC?

I might've been unhappy - indeed, I would've been very unhappy with the result but I would've respected the democratic decision to stay. I am not terribly interested in what Mr Farage would, or would not do.

Allow me to reword my question - why won't you respect democracy?

[oldbluefox]

Nice collection of old news there Jack but like many, you make assumptions.
As a Brexiter I take exception to being linked to fascism, racism, xenophobia and any other derogatory term used by paranoid Remoaners who claim to accept Brexit but want the terms of any deal to maintain the status quo and find difficulty in understanding we are leaving the EU but not Europe.
What makes you think I am a reader of the Express, the Sun or any other paper for that matter, when in fact I am perfectly capable of thinking for myself? I don't rely on the crutch of a daily paper for my philosophy but then Remoaners also have it in their minds that anybody who voted for Brexit didn't know what they were voting for and were thick. I think they need to take off their rose tinted EU glasses and smell the coffee because from where we stand the EU has done nothing for us which accounts for why people voted in their millions to leave.

Well said, Foxy

Post Brexit we could possibly be building .... and then buying Nissans, Toyotas and Lexus instead of those foreign Peugeots and BMWs.

Facts are facts. Age is of no consequence, unless some want to forget them. We all make assumptions.

I wasn't aware you had been linked to actual, technical terms. They are only derogatory if they upset you for some reason.
Are you assuming I am paranoid?

who claim to accept Brexit but want the terms of any deal to maintain the status quo and find difficulty in understanding we are leaving the EU but not Europe.

Are you assuming I accept Brexit? I can only assume you don't read my posts.

What makes you think I am a reader of the Express, the Sun or any other paper for that matter, when in fact I am perfectly capable of thinking for myself? I don't rely on the crutch of a daily paper for my philosophy

Those papers were seen as the cheerleaders of Brexiters. I have no idea where you get your information. I often provide links, should you wish to check info I provide.

but then Remoaners also have it in their minds that anybody who voted for Brexit didn't know what they were voting for and were thick.

That might be an assumption......

Just a few more than the millions that voted to stay

[Mervyn and Trish]

Actually millions more. Well you like facts

[Jack Staff]

Actually millions more. Well you like facts

One million, two hundred and sixty nine thousand, five hundred and one.

So no, not actually "millions" . Yes, I do like facts.

[oldbluefox]

For once I have found some ground on which to agree with you Jack.
"Facts are facts". Fact is we voted to exit the EU. Says it all really.

Can't disagree. Whether we do actually leave or not we will not know for certain for over two years yet.
Anyway, we can always rejoin later.

In that case why are you bothering to argue? If that's what you believe good luck to you.

Closer to 1 milion than a few Jack

Because Brexiters would have you believe it's all a done deal. It isn't. Far from it.

If that's what you believe it's fine with me.I think you're living in cloud cuckoo land but good luck to you. I admire your optimism.

Terribly sorry, I missed this.
I think David Davis MP can explain better than me.....
“If a democracy cannot change its mind, it ceases to be a democracy”.
But being a Tory he has of course gone back on that.
