Your wrong it was only 51.5% of people who voted so all the people that did not vote were in the remain camp, which means more people wanted to stay, get with the programme.
I think that you were more likely to vote if you wanted to Leave. Those who wanted to Remain, and didnt vote, must be pissed off but only have themselves to blame. If all Leavers and Remainers voted, I think Remain would have won.

That is exactly why I voted for Brexit the metric martyr, but according to remoaners I am a racist
I 100% voted to leave because of the undemocratic bureaucratic system of the EU system, and tbh wasn’t really bothered about the outcome, but what really p*ssed me off was the blatant attempt across all parties to stop the process from happening

Which is the main group that never votes!!. Mainly people of lower incomes which, was the main group for Brexit.

The general feeling was that Remain was going to win, comfortably. It probably lulled their 'voters' into a false sense of security. Leave, being a 'protest' vote, that in itself would get them to the polling stations. Remainers didnt have that prompt, especially when thinking they were going to win anyway. When I woke up and saw the we were leaving I couldnt believe it.

I was very surprised, if I remember correctly the bookies had remain odds on

The general feeling amongst who! Are yes the media and chattering classes that were all in the Remain camp.
 
Not enough effort was made to mobilise the Remain voters. Also, I think a lot of young people were unaware how much it would affect them and weren't engaged in the referendum as much as they should have been.

Chattering classes, love that. I hadn't heard of the term before.

From our friendly AI:

The "chattering classes" is a often-derogatory British term for well-educated, metropolitan, liberal-leaning, middle-class people—including journalists, academics, and artists—who dominate public conversation. They are portrayed as talking at length about politics, culture, and society, yet often having little influence or actual experience in the matters they discuss.

WOW, AI is actually right.

If they had an inkling that they were going to lose then they should have did the opposite, emphasise to remainers that leave was possibly going to win, and not give the impression that the result was a foregone conclusion.

I think the Brexit we got is not the Brexit people who voted leave thought they were getting.
The worst person to negotiate it was boris.
Had Blair, Brown and Cameron been a lot stronger with the EU no way would the leave vote won.
The majority didn't really know what they are voting for. I love my mother in law dearly, she is a fantastic lady. However her views on voting to leave would be hilarious if the outcome wasn't so bad.
The fact conversations she repeats to having with her friends she meets at the shops, just shows how far from the reality some of these peoples views are.
She's still adamant that she would vote leave again. She doesn't understand you can just stop the boars and there are laws that stop you from just sinking them

Of course you can stop the boats, get rid of the pull factor and you stop the vast majority of arrivals. You could use any British owned territory for camps , and once people realise they get shipped to an overseas territory, they would stop coming as proved by Australia.

I’ve asked this before but, as you’re so certain that’s possible, would you give an example of how and where that would work?

Exactly. Australia for the British!!!!
In all seriousness though. It did work. The PM at the time just told them all they couldn’t stay and couldn’t moor their boats. But now we have Albanese in charge and he is the Australian Boris.

There are no international waters in the Channel …

… so a totally different situation to Australia.

Maritime Law is something we’re bound by.

Britain owns and controls many islands around the world, just transfer all illegals to one of them with basic help, if they want to go back to their own country provide transport. THERE Hope that helps.

See pathetic immigration courts at it again, and illegal cannot be sent back to France because his human rights would be breached by France not providing him accommodation over there.

Can you give an example of one that could accept hundreds of people?
