I'm sure your faith in the EU will see you through your crisis.

Re: Brexit
 

I think we would be having this discussion ;)

Early on in the campaign before it became clear how well Leave were doing it was hardly a secret than some Eurosceptics were looking to keep the 'loss' over 40% to order to maintain momentum for a future referendum. Remainers were discussing how big the win would need to be in order to 'kill the issue for a generation' and the question of a 2nd Scottish referendum was being discussed too. I think even some members on here were talking about what would be required in order to have another vote.

The vote always had the prospect of a second referendum in the background it was just people thought it was be if Remain won a narrow victory. If it was Remain 52% I am almost certain we would be discussing it.

Doesn't mean it's right. I would be arguing against it. I don't feel as strongly against a second referendum now obviously :D although I still don't really support it.

Faith doesn’t solve problems, planning does.

The Pro-Brexit "yellow vests" were handing out these fliers in London today showing a list of the things they, the U.K. Yellow Vests, stand for - I think they meant "against" rather "for" most of the items.

Re: Brexit
 

Well I have faith in myself, my family, my co-workers, our citizens and our nation.

I don’t believe anyone has pre-fixed Brexit with “Glorious”, except you, just then.

It will not be glorious, it will be messy and painful. But that does not mean that ultimately it cannot be successful.

I’ve always been a glass half full kind of person.

Why call them Pro-Brexit demonstrators? Brexit was only one thing on there, why not call them anti-greedy bankers demonstrators?

Re: Brexit
 

It’s very easy to say if you’re either a) not one of the ones who will be affected or B) one of the ones who don’t understand how you will be affected

Nb not aimed specifically at you, rather a generalisation

Yes, Referenda :)

Seems either are fine ..

Re: Brexit
 

I'm not sure if I'm an 'A' or a 'B' :erm:

Could you please post some examples of 'A' for me to browse through, just in case I am a 'B' :D

Re: Brexit
 

What about 'referendi'? (Sorry, I'll get my coat.....) :)

Re: Brexit
 

A)
Financially secure
Working in an indemand industry or industry that’s furthest away from the ripples
Etc

B)
financially insecure
Manufacturing industry employee or within supply chain
Lacking in political nouse


The affluent are ultimately not going to be ones who suffer the hardest of shocks

Re: Brexit
 

Because their protests so far have largely been about Brexit and their incoherent list of things they stand for doesn't really add much.

Re: Brexit
 

Whip up a poll we can referenderate the situation:)

Re: Brexit
 

Surely, if Brexit is to be successful in the longer term and not short/medium term then taking the time to get it right is more important than doing it as quickly as possible?

If the plan is to leave on WTO terms surely making sure we are as ready as we can be is more important than adhering to a date decided two years ago when all the discussion was around “how good the deal will be”.

Can we use the single transferable vote to ensure a decisive outcome ;)

Re: Brexit
 

Well, I don't trust this Government and their muddled approach to Brexit and can't afford to take any chances as, without my medication, I would probably die.

I usually stockpile canned foodstuff in case there are any problems with supply or delivery, but I must admit i've got more than usual.

If Brexit doesn't go ahead, a deal is reached or there doesn't turn out to be any problems I won't have lost anything as it will all still get used eventually.

As is usually the case. If things start to go wrong I genuinely fear there could be riots. Whilst I do have sympathy with people who are poor or are in insecure jobs, I wouldn't want any problems at any domestic or commercial premises of mine or anyone else's.

Re: Brexit
 

Whatever happened to we’re all in this together.

Brexit appealed to the lowest common denominator in society so it can’t be considered a surprise that when it doesn’t deliver to expectations they will kick out.

It’d be preferable for any riots or looting to be larger, sending the country further into crisis. It’d focus the minds of our politicians and we’d maybe see some honesty for a change.
