    England is part of the UK. The UK voted to stay by slim majority... So if you’re going to split up the country then Londonistan has a much bigger population than Scotland and has muich more in common with Brussels, Edinburgh and Leeds than with Lincoln

    I’m not the one scared by democracy - democracy is choosing something and then if it doesn’t live up to it being able to change your mind - it’s pretty clear that which ever way you voted what we have is not what you were told we get - so why so scared of letting people choose now based on reality not what was promised

    If you look up you quickly you can probably see the point I was making about 30,000 feet flying above your head.

    John Bolton on Sky News tonight “Why is Britain worried about crashing out of a European Trade deal, the USA is sitting here waiting to get trade deals done with the UK”

    "Trade minister Liam Fox would be welcome here; any member of the government would be welcome here, we can do these deals quickly. We are ready to go. We want to partner with a newly independent Britain."

    That's a matter of opinion,if a country can't make there own trade deals,has to have freedom of movement with the EU,then I believe they are definitely in.

    “As member of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA), Norway seeks to conclude bilateral Free Trade Agreement in the so-called EFTA framework. This means that Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein can negotiate a Free Trade Agreement with a respective third country via EFTA.”

    Democracy is also giving the people equal opportunity with 1 vote 1 person, and the right to vote on major issues.

    We voted to leave, we won, first past the post, that's democracy.

    The remainers had their fair democratic chance, they need to suck it up and stop trying to change the rules to suit themselves.

    You know, having had the opportunity to look at this from a distance, I would say, in all honesty, you all lost.

    Being there you know better than me but such divisions in society can lead to quite dangerous outcomes. Yes, leave won, but in reality it was such a close call that whatever the final outcome of this is a huge proportion of the population are going to be pissed. The real problem is there really isn't any middle ground to negotiate around. Out means just that and remain is similarly clear.
