What some angry people cannot differentiate between is the distinction in accepting the result of leaving and that of accepting that deal on how we leave is not a preordained Hard Brexit.

I think this constant childish insulting should stop .. now.

- no more sniping comments aimed at people who voted Remain
- no more sniping comments aimed at people who voted Leave
- no more pejorative insults based on how someone voted
- agreement that both sides lied
- agreement that we have decided to Leave but not on how we Leave
- agreement that people have have valid alternate opinions
- and anything else i have missed :)

I'm in ..

I guess you have sort of admitted that you did not accept the democratic vote and moreover, supported a campaign to overturn this democratic vote.

Something you have now determined is unacceptable .. do you not see the problem with this?

Some folks get a bit confused about a referendum on joining a small trading block and one about staying in what has long since morphed into a single state obsessed union of 28 disparate nations, nothing like the organisation we were asked if we wanted to join 40 over years ago. The FACT is that the usual suspects had no complaints about the process until their side lost and now they're just clutching at straws showing themselves to be the sort of people they've become used to deriding over the years. They like democracy when it yields what they want but aren't so keen when it bites them in the political bum. They have form too - remember those other referenda which yielded results they didn't like and needed to be overturned. That's the 'democracy' they prefer - the one in which they get their way.

After 40 years of experience at the hands of 'Europe' the UK voted to leave the EU - FACT! :)

Sorry, No.


Taking back control of: Borders, Laws, Taxes and the ability to make our own trade deals with non EU countries, defines how we leave, and equates to a hard Brexit.

Got to disagree ;)

We could agree a deal where we allow the City to keep the passporting for a fix annual sum for example. We could agree a lot of things that are in the best interests of the country .. it's called negotiation and compromise.

Ianch the 1975 vote was purely for a trading bloc and if the political union that we ended up with had been on the vote we wouldn't have voted for it back then, it's the number 1 thing i constantly heard from people who voted in 75 including a few who voted to join the EEC.

I don't see how.

Quote:

The question facing voters was, “Do you think the UK should stay in the European Community (Common Market)?” Britons were thus divided into Yes and No camps, as opposed to today’s ‘Leave’ and ‘Remain’.

No mention of a Union there.

The fact-checkers disagree with your statement that it was just abouit trade.

Quote:

Full Fact The European Community was presented as more than a trade agreement

During the 1975 campaign, membership of the European Community was presented by both the government and the Conservative opposition as relevant to peace, security, and both regional and international development, as well as to trade and economic cooperation.

In 1975 the government set out the aims of the European Community as bringing “together the peoples of Europe”, raising living standards and improving working conditions, promoting growth and boosting world trade. They also set out that the EC would “help the poorest regions of Europe and the rest of the world” and “help maintain peace and freedom”.

In their October 1974 manifesto, the Conservative party outlined the two key ideas behind the EEC as being to maintain security within Europe and to allow European influence in the world, and control over its own affairs, to grow in a world of polarised superpowers.

I thought that April fools day was yesterday, and yet:
Theresa May 'would go to war' to defend the sovereignty of Gibraltar
The UK could have no flights to and from Europe after Brexit, Ryanair warns

Good grief the Telegraph is becoming as bad as the Daily Fail with its cataclysmic headlines.
