What's bitter about it? Were UKIP bitter since their inception, then?
Leavers seem to think that anyone that opposes them should just go away and shut up.
It's bizarre.
It's slightly bizarre isn't it?

'We won, so get over it' is the mantra peddled seemingly across the spectrum.

Quite what we supposedly won they can't tell you like, nor can the Govt of the day tell us what lies the other side of it. But the mantra of the 'winners' is we'll take what comes, irrespective of what it looks like or how **** it might be, it'll be all be sound....honest, so shut up talking about it as we don't want to hear anything that's potentially negative.

Was it the vote or actually triggering Brexit that these warnings were about?
Agree most are ott as most effects are long term.

I think that these were general comments made before the referendum and as part of the "whole fear" message by the remain party, indicating that it was likely to happen straight after the result was known. I also remember comments from Osbourne stating a leave vote would cost every household £4.5k and Cameron even made reference to WW3.

Cool. When do you propose the next referendum be?

I say it needs to be fair, so we should give this decision at least as long as we gave the decision to drag us in to the EU before deciding.

If they'd stuck to just being the EEC, I think most would have stuck with it, but nobody chose the monster it evolved itself into.

They were comments based on an immediate triggering of Brexit. Something Cameron immediately backed away from, despite previously saying he wouldn't delay.

Depends on who "we" are. Your "we" didn't win. The majority "we" won the referendum, and the right of informing the Government that the majority of voters in the UK want out of an EU that we never voted into in the first place.

Thats the problem, getting a decent discussion is zero, so many remainers cry racist, bigot etc, makes it all pointless, so wumming is the game now.

PS

You lost get over it...<laugh>

... the referendum was undoubtely decided on the immigration ticket ... Northern England and parts of Kent were in meltdown over misleading, scaremongering, reports that continued EU nationals coming into the UK inevitably meant a dilution of benefits and that, in some extreme cases, some might even be forced into work to make ends meet ...

... anybody denying that is a racist, bigot etc <laugh>
 
Only if you're trying to prove that clipping posts is a sign of a lost argument. <ok>

I posted your 2 sentences in sequence, your words, nothing 'clipped' merely what you posted.

As usual you proved my point without me even trying.

Do you often poke yourself in the eye with your BIC while sat at your council desk?
