Brexit

[Onelife]

Bit late with this, only just got in. You can only sign the petition once. I tried (inadvertently) to sign a second time. Forgot I had originally signed it when first came out a few days ago. Got an email back almost immediately to say I had already signed. Many people use noms de plume - you only have to note the names on this forum. Believe it or not, but I am not actually a Princess!!

As far as I am concerned all the ladies on this forum are princesses

Pro-Brexit campaigners have been prosecuted for inconsiderate driving while trying to bring roads to a standstill.

According to organisers, the demonstrations aimed to ensure the UK leaves the EU on 29 March by causing gridlock on motorways and A-roads using a convoy of slow-moving vehicles.

The protesters were aiming to target between 30 and 40 locations over the weekend, including the M25, M6 and M1.

Devon and Cornwall police said the lead drivers of convoys on the A30 and M5 were stopped and prosecuted for careless and inconsiderate driving.

I can't confirm this but I've heard Jack has made contact with Gill and Ray in order to raise bail money

Oh woe is me, someone from Huddersfield is claiming they started the revoke article 50 petition, how on earth can I ever live this down.

…. and your MP sounds like a trouble maker.

What with all this and the footy it may be the time to consider a move me thinks

In the meantime It might be worth displaying a “leave means leave” poster in your front window just in case she turns out that she is your neighbour.

With a couple of acres and a sea view for £100 grand, presumably ?

Good turnout for the middle aged middle class demo. Many had to miss their Saturday yoga and pilates to take part. #hugesacrifice

As much as that!!!!

Hmm!...An estimated 700,000 seems a pretty poor turnout considering London is the bastion of Remain voters…just saying!

If you like Wales and can put up with treading in sheep sh*t you can have my tin can for a quarter of the price

Well, it was a very uplifting day out.

The snippy comments are only what I expected from certain people in these parts.

Typical that you can't even admit it was an impressive turn out of people

Petition up to 4.5 million now.

[barney]

It's impressive but it does not trump the legitimate result.

Well there was no first class football today so maybe that helped to swell the ranks.

[barney]

Not sure that the average Woke Remainer is the type to frequent the terraces of hard core football fans Towny. You would rarely see the perpetually offended at the Terriers. You could clearly see by the type of people at the demo. Middle class faux liberals who are not quite as liberal as they pretend to be. Still, credit to them for turning out, but that is nothing to what this country will witness if the result is overturned.

[towny44]

It was interesting to hear them all speak the same mantra that a peoples vote would help unite the country. Their views and opinions are so restricted to their ideal of remaining in the EU, that they fail to appreciate that only half think that way, and that another vote would only widen the current fracture, regardless of it's outcome.
If Mays deal is not approved by parliament before April 12th, I dread to think what the outcome will be, because I doubt anyone can lead and unify the Tory party, and the only alternative will be a Labour Govt led by Corbyn and McDonnell, which will make a no deal Brexit seem idyllic.

If the result is overturned this country will witness .... umm, nope you lost me there.

[Gill W]

Farage is calling for a rally on Friday in Parliament Sq. It’ll be interesting to see how many turn up.

[Jack Staff]

It’ll be interesting to see if Farage turns up.

[barney]

Waitrose ran out of brie and cranberry sandwiches apparently. Starbucks recorded record takings. All very middle class. Labour voters in the Midlands and North were less than impressed.

I'd like to think that most will be at work. The Liberal baby boomers don't have such inconveniences.

You are both correct, it was a very impressive display showing the disquiet you remainers have for Brexit. But you are all extremely concerned that you will be losing something you strongly value, for leavers that is not the case, we all dislike the EU with a similar fervour however we could probably be happy with a number of varieties of Brexit, so our fervour is more diluted than your's.
For myself I could be happy with most versions of Brexit, as long as we leave the EU, certainly a Norway model would be far too dilute for my liking but I hope you can perhaps see why leavers are maybe more blase about this issue than remainers, however you should not become too complacent about the continued desire we have to leave, which I am certain would manifest itself if there were to be a second referendum.

IF you’d been there, you’d know that people from all over the country, of all ages and all walks of life were in attendance.

But you weren’t. However feel free to continue with your sweeping generalisations.

Waitrose ran out of brie and cranberry sandwiches apparently. Starbucks recorded record takings. All very middle class. Labour voters in the Midlands and North were less than impressed.

Really? Wouldn’t know, as I took my own packed lunch.

Plenty of people came down from the Midlands and North. I didn’t go round asking how they voted, but they all seemed impressed with the turnout, as was I.

I'd like to think that most will be at work. The Liberal baby boomers don't have such inconveniences.

Again, you are exhibiting all your prejudices. People of all ages and backgrounds were in attendance yesterday.

Farage’s rally starts at 4pm on Friday, so workers can attend after they finish.

I think you’ve illustrated the problem for Brexit supporters. Even at this late stage, there’s no agreement on what Brexit looks like. One person might be happy with a ‘soft Brexit’ whereas the next person might view it as a ‘betrayal’ and will claim that ‘the Brexit they voted for has been stolen’.

I agree that the biggest problem for Brexit supporters is that they are blasé. They are clinging to the result of a tainted referendum from three years ago, and are still saying the same things that they were saying back then. They need to publically show more passion and move with the times. Farage’s two week March should have 1000’s of people on it, not (about) 140. They should be treated like conquering heros as they pass through towns - that is just not happening. There are such things as leave petitions - but they aren’t being signed.

Yesterday, upwards of 1m people marched and totay the Remain petition will top 5m. It’s a public display of how people feel.

Whereas all we get from Leavers are the same tired phrases from 2016, indicating they haven’t moved along with events, and then the threats. Death threats to Mp’s and petition organisers, threats against people from overseas from fat, middle aged men in pineapple vests, and threats of violence if ‘Brexit is betrayed’.

It’s not a good image.

[barney]

But events haven't really changed Gill. I'd wager that 99 % of those on the march voted to remain with the odd 1% now being old enough to vote. So basically, it was an event for the losers to reconfirm their anti brexit feelings. No more, no less. We already knew that because they are on TV every five minutes whining on and on about it.
