    There is nobody else to blame but the brexiteers for brexit not being delivered. Forget how many voted, how many didnt. Leave won the vote but couldn't agree on what leave they wanted.......innit blood

    Well I beg to differ. If all those who voted leave in parliment agreed that they all wanted to leave in the same way, then we would have left already. Because they couldn't agree, we havent. That's what it boils down to really.

    Maybe, but I'm tired of hearing about the sainted 17.4 million as if they represent a majority of the population. They don't.

    Some of those were soiling themselves on referendum day.

    That’s fair enough. I feel the same whenever I hear ‘the will of the people’ which has a 1930s ring to it.

    I’m not sure that majority of the population has ever voted in any government since in this country, Strolls.

    It’s very unfair to draw attention to elderly Tory voters. Their views still count, even if they don’t have full control of their bodily functions.

    You really think they just couldn't agree on the details?

    I think that some wanted a no deal, some wanted a soft brexit and some wanted a hard deal. If they all wanted one of those 3 then we would be out. Simples

    Oh come on now Bob, you’re better than that. The blame for this can be laid at many doors, both remainers and leavers.
    Both are as bad as each other.

    Nobody voted for a no deal Brexit Bob, it wasn't even mentioned in 2016. I heard on the wireless that the first time the phrase was googled was in 2017 (no idea if that's true).

    I presumed that everyone who voted leave, voted for a no deal, otherwise how can you vote for something when you dont know what it involves. Very bizarre hey

    If every leave voting MP wanted to leave in the same way, would we have left already?

    Because you will still have remain MPs who would put up every obstacle possible in the path of leaving....
