This 'tosh' as you call it is exactly what is happening.
The will of the people is being taken away from them because of a load of undemocratic people who do not like a fair result.
We had an in/out referendum and the result was 'out'. We should have all accepted it and supported it. Yet for months the result has been eroded. I have seen every last-ditch attempts to derail the process, even more project fear and threats from the EU and the enemy within.
I hope for the sake of the country that the government abide by the result and get out of that mafia run EU. If they don't there will be big problems in our country.
Now is the best time to get out of this sinking ship they call the EU. Let's get out before it falls. Which by the way it will.

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.
 
Agreed. Most people who put money first are remainers.
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.

Okay I get your point Stroller however the vote went ahead and it needs to be implemented first. If people then want back in at a later date (say 40 years) they can have another referendum. You cant have a vote and then say you don't like what you voted for.
If some have changed their minds it's only due to the balls up by May, the EU playing the usual game and people who couldn't accept a result.
I caught a headline (which by the way was abhorrent) about food shortages and when we leave the EU would stop sending stuff. Just think about for a second...The EU would stop send certain foods to the UK because we have left the organization. If that is not just a disgusting threat then what is? What are they the Mafia? TBH I wouldn't want to be in an organization that works like that.
Look how the EU has "adapted" in recent weeks? Free trade deal with Japan/US...Yet we are told it will take years for us from the people who we have worked with closely for 40 years...Muppets.

Do you know what else makes me laugh... We were told people should not be allowed to vote and make such a decision because they 'don't understand it'. Yet they are okay for another vote or voting in a General election?

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

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.

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.......

Tell that to the unemployed young of Italy.

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
 
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.

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.

Or need it. good luck with that one.

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>
<doh>
