I have just realised that this is not the first time May has blown out something. I don't know if any of you remember but I posted some time ago that I got invited (by my Tory mates) to have dinner with May and then she was doing an after dinner speech on immigration. She was Home Secretary at the time. I really wanted to go as it had a few top Tories going but sadly I had to cough up £50 and I believe it clashed with a QPR game so I declined. Anyway at the last minute she herself blew it out. So i reckon she does have a track record of this? :1980_boogie_down:

July? Come on it’s ****ing December. Look at the stuff Raving has just posted. The numbers vary daily and no side has a sustained majority, there is no trend. There is no trend because we have no source of authority to trust, UK or EU, we have no trusted leadership, in or out of power. And a ****ing poll, which have got the referendum and three successive elections wrong, is not a credible source anyway.

You said another referendum will be to everyone's disgust, meaning nobody wants one. Clearly many do, more than do not and roughly half of people polled, especially when don't knows are factored out.

Why would anyone want another referendum when they all know the result of the first was completely ignored
Maybe by the time the 17th one has been run in 2056 an agreement on the question might have been reached

Completely ignore the 1st one then as you say, cancel Brexit, then no need for any further referendum.

Well I did because I put the research in. It was quite simple, they sent me a leaflet that said what would happen. I listened/read/watched the various media and made an informed decision. I was a remainer until near the end and changed at the last minute. I am glad I chose to leave and would vote leave 1000 times again if it gets us away from that club. You said earlier.

Actually when I read that comment, I find that pathetic. The EU has been called 'bullies" by so many people from within it's own organisation. I could list 5 leaders that has refered to them as bullies and plenty of MEP's, Civil servents that would say the same. This negotiation has been a farce, and I will agree May has made a real 2222 up of it, However they weaponised Ireland to bully us. It's quite plain to see.

Ireland was always an issue, seems we forgot about it during negotiations. Piss poor preparation and piss poor negotiating. The EU haven't budged that much, to me that's good negotiating. Seriously, look at our government and parliment. The Tories are self destructing, Labour just sitting on the fence, we are not being bullied in the slightest, we are weak, disorganised, pathetic and embarrassing. And we reckon we could negotiate trade deals with other countries.....don't make me laugh.

What a bitch, that is so comparable and totally on the same level as her brexit **** up.<doh>
 
The only ones who should be allowed to vote AGAIN should be the ones who voted first time
Chuck in some new over 18sbut definitely no ****er that couldn't be bothered for the first vote

C'mon kiwi, you're better than that, could my mother, who was in hospital at the time having an operation be allowed to vote? Imagine if you transferred those principles to watching a QPR game. You didn't come to the last one, so you're not allowed to watch this one.

If we are relying on a load of dead leavers not voting then your mum can't vote
Was there postal voting allowed last time
Maybe emergency operations on the day could be allowed

Everyone over 16 should be entitled to vote, including British citizens living abroad who weren't allowed to last time.

I think it might have been a woman actually and she was outlining all the practical and economic difficulties that would arise from leaving without a deal (something, frighteningly, that more and more people seem to think should happen). I had no idea if what she was saying was entirely right, but I put the post up on here and asked if anyone on here could refute what she had to say. No one did.

Why not? I'm sure there are many British people living in EU countries, whom have been able to due to our membership of the EU. They may have to or even be planning on moving back. Why should these British people not be able to vote on the future of Britain?
