Nothing changes does it.
You call leave voters morons, Strolls calls us freaks and here we are, 3 years on, with the result of the referendum still being contested.
Remainers simply cannot accept the fact that we voted to leave by a clear margin, due to their almost religious devotion to the undemocratic EU.

(Cue all the old arguments and insults)
Agreed 100% Col I accept the vote was narrowly won by the Brexit voters
The reason it’s still contested imo because of the passion shown by the remain voters.
When nearly half of the people maybe a lot more now see the mess Brexit would take us I am hoping you can see the equal force and passion held to prevent it from happening

It’s testament I believe we will not let it happen without a serious fight and still certain we will win

The no deal voters are not the entire Brexit vote and to that we have clearly defeated that view point ... it will not happen
 
An Opinium survey shows 76% of ethnic minority people report they have been targeted by strangers in Feb/March of this year, compared to 64% before the Brexit vote in Jan 2016. Ethnic minority people reporting they have faced racial discrimination has increased from 58% to 71% in the same period according to the same survey, according to the Guardian.
 
I think now with Labour and those ****ing evil ****munchers the Conversatives are truly dead it’s the Lib Dem’s to lose when we take the next GE

Always voted Labour all my life but without radical change the future has to be Orange

I'm an aging hippie, Col. Freak is a term of endearment.

Bravo to Paul Crowther, good on you mate. Great that milkshakes have become a thing when it comes to the racists in our midst. I’d prefer acid but milkshakes will do for now I guess. Nigel Farage hit by milkshake during Newcastle walkabout

i thought we had to worry about the right wing lunatics
 
To the extent that one can believe opinion polls, Brexit Party support is neck & neck with Remain parties. Indications are that it’ll be close to a rerun of the referendum result.

Even if the outcome is 52-48 in favour of Remain parties this time there’s still an undeniably huge body of support for Brexit in this country.

Only an utter prick would conclude that every single one of those Brexit supporters was an unhinged, piss-ridden octogenarian xenophobic racist. A reasonable person would accept that a significant proportion - I would say vast majority - voted to leave the EU for perfectly sound, rational reasons based on little more than the belief that this country and its peoples will be better off in the longer term by doing so,

It’s OK to disagree, of course, but let’s not make the mistake of slurring those with whom you do disagree.

The guy that threw the milkshake and those that support his actions should be ashamed of themselves. Total twats.

I’m no fan of Prescott, but loved that he gave his attacker a thump that time.
