    You say it like it’s a bad thing. What are you putting first? Sucking up to the US and running out of insulin?

    I certainly don’t agree with that prediction that the EU will fall I predict it will get stronger.

    We are leaving the EU so that should be no concern for any Brexiteer imo

    It’s over to the Brexiteers to rebuild English
    They won fair and square imo and the people spoke and swung to a narrow victory

    The devide this has caused looks to me to far more fragile than the EU it works perfectly imo and has achieved so much

    Fortunately if the EU does randomly crumble we’ll be totally protected from it and will suffer no consequences.

    Like Jacob Rees Mogg?

    What about you Col, would you accept a new government or coalition that had campaigned in a general election explicitly on staying in or going back in? Don’t worry, I don’t think it’s going to happen.

    The EU won’t stop sending stuff we are the shop of dreams. We all put money first we are conditioned to. We build micro Anglo Saxon castles which we over value and lump everything we can into

    Any Brexiteer should focus on the job in hand rebuilding the U.K. as you want it

    Why so confrontational?

    I value money and realise that we all need it.
    However, the point I was making was that I personally voted for reasons other than economical ones.

    Some people put money above all else.
    I suspect you are very materialistic, which is entirely your perogotive.

    I’m not being confrontational. I’m being condescending about your Brexit priorities.

    Hard school Brexiters need the EU to fail (it won’t, the east had problems with immigration not economics, as the Czechs made clear to May last week, and the nutters in Italy aren’t even going to leave the euro, let alone the EU) because it insulates them from comparisons in the future.
    You’re going to need surgery to get your tongue out of your cheek.

    I said "most" people.

    Thanks ever so much for assuring me that I don't need to worry. Very grateful.
    What choice would I have if the remain party had won fair and square?
    Oh wait.......

    Calling bull on that, remember your poster boys are the likes of Farage and Rees-Mogg.

    Nothing unusual there. Many remainers on here and elsewhere are so condescending it's amazing they can keep their balance up on their high pedestals.

    Like it centurion nice one
    We can’t protect or govern ourselves now
    We do not produce enough of anything
    We will always need the EU for trade help and advice ... certain of that

    I hope long term European membership will be made available to those who want it

    just amazes me that they called Brexiters 'thick racists' yet they are hoping they swap sides if they get another vote?
    Don't threat Col as constitutionally I believe the process must go ahead.

    No luck involved the movement is active and alert you really need to focus on the divide
    The only figures that matter are 52/48
    I was on the side that lost because I believe my country would be better off remaining in the EU
    Any old news story or any future one will not change that to me. As a non member of the EU in the future I will always be looking to the Brexiteers to rebuild my country of birth

    Now when it comes to luck the U.K. may need some

    It's just lost it's biggest net contributor. I will be losing it's third in the future. Mass immigration, mass rise in nationalism (Euroscepticism). Desperately rushing around making free trade deals. Even the French president says it needs major reforms to survive.
    An think it's getting stronger.......<laugh>
