    Good try, but if you read back, you'll see that I, more than most, most certainly did have a clue. Or did you miss that bit?
    I had all the knowledge I needed to make my tactical vote, as explained. Unlikely, agreed, but nevertheless principled.

    You say you know why you voted, but you're a bit coy about giving the detail. And that can remain with you (if you'll pardon the pun :emoticon-0111-blush), for I don't need to know the detail. But I'll guess, and am pretty damn sure that it was most certainly not based on what you knew for a fact would be best for the country. As I elaborated previously, you may have thought, had an opinion, hope, or aspiration, but you did not know the best outcome. No-one did. No-one does, for that matter. :D

    Not being coy at all, its well documented on here why I voted leave
    But, let me get this right, you voted to leave, but you truly don't know the pros and cons,
    But the real reason you voted leave is because its 'predictable'
    Could you be so kind to let us plebs and those experts and politicians who you say haven't got a clue know, what you predict so we can move on from this elite globalist manufactured ****fest
    Your last highlighted sentence is spot on though,
    I must say though, you're as neutral as John Bercow is :emoticon-0102-bigsm Oorr derrr...Oorr derrr

    Crikey, do I have to spell it out again. I voted 'Leave' on advice coming from the SNP, a party of which I'm a member. I obviously couldn't vote in Scotland, so the tactical advice given was to vote 'Leave', as a 'Leave' result would suit the SNP (and my) ultimate aim best. Frankly, it had nothing whatsoever to do with the benefits to the UK, but what suited Scotland best, in terms of Independence. Clear now? :)

    And the text you've highlighted encapsulates exactly what my protest is. Everyone voted for what they thought was right, not what they knew to be right. How could they when they did not know exactly what was involved, far less the impact on the country from the possible outcomes? How many people had heard of a 'Hard Exit' before they voted, far less understood the detail or the implications. Same goes for the Irish border situation. Indeed, of the 17.4m that voted 'Leave', how many of them know even today? The best people can hope for is a 'broad understanding', which means they know next to nothing. This is not me attacking people, it's a simple statement of fact, and I can't understand why people are getting so heated about it, because they still don't fully understand the situation. I include the very MPs who will make this momentous decision, I might add. Apart from arguing about the most fashionable minutae of the day, they have no real clue either. None. Just thought, hope, aspiration & opinion.

    EDIT: Got to sign off now. Should be getting to bed as u18s kick off at TA @11am & hope to be there.

    You being Scots and me being English I have been prepared on many occassions to overlook your constant ramblings however your latest admission that you are a member of the SNP. Is a step too far in which case I have to say :emoticon-0173-middl :emoticon-0178-rock: <laugh>

    So the SNP told there members to vote leave, but very few did, so they then switched to remain so as not to look like losers and stupid. <doh> well another failed mess the Jocks have got into. <laugh>

    So you want remain but voted leave, and the idiots who you've been saying, didn't know what they were voting for, was yourself. EXPLAINS a lot that does m8. <laugh> <laugh> <laugh>
    And you couldn't be English unless you get your trousers back off your Mrs, and give her back her skirt.

    Do you think that voting leave to help a party that wants to remain is a form of reverse psychology?


    Not sure you've grasped the concept :biggrin: <whistle>

    So the SNP told everyone to vote leave because they wanted to remain,but the Jocks all got confused and voted remain, they have then voted remain for the last 3 years although they want to leave.
    I think Boris should take the vote off them and give it to carrots instead. <doh>

    And yet you'd think the Government are the ones in the wrong the way those anti democracy remoaner ****s go on about it <doh>

    For a change I'm actually really liking this current lot in office, at least they're trying to honour the result the majority voted for.

    I really hope we leave without a deal on the 31st October just to see the look on the faces of the undemocratic ****ers.

    I don't give a **** what they say or if I hurt their ****ing feelings, Jess 'Butch' Phillips, Paula' fat mess' Sherriff and all the other snowflake ****s are hypocritical, traitorous, anti democratic, surrender monkeys, ****'em .

    They wanted to get "back to work" (yeah, right)to sort Brexit out, yet spent all day attacking BOJO with faux outrage at the mention of St Jo of the blessed Cox name being mentioned, which, they seem to have forgotten was first mentioned by fat mess Sherriff, instead of trying to sort the ****ing mess the ****s have created

    Where did I say that I wanted remain?

    Jeez, I'll have to say it again! Pay attention this time! I didn't know which was the best option, and still don't. No-one does. Perhaps the odd clairvoyant, I'll grant you, but absolutely no-one else. Why? Because there is no data or facts to act on, just opinion, thought, aspiration, and hope.

    Now if you have access to solid data, congratulate your clairvoyant, & please share it with us.

    It's all tactical, and aimed at leveraging another Indyref. No great success rate expected. Call it a protest vote, if you like.

    No one does lol, just because it confuses you Scots,doesn't mean it confuses them who vote for what they want, instead of what Jimmy Crankie tells you.
