The referendum is not binding. Article 50 could be withdrawn. However, this is extremely unlikely, so leaving is a process Government are in the midst of negotiating terms for. It is not a law.

Brexit is now enshrined in UK Law - the Withdrawal Act did that but did not specify a leaving date. As you know, Article 50 sets the date unless extended by mutual agreement.

Interesting that there is now a debate emerging here as to whether we will actually leave the EU.

Only amongst the chattering classes, EU 5th columnists and the Westminster quislings who oppose the will of the people.

The law enshrines what happens once we actually leave the EU. Not before.

Trust you to put that spin on the discussion.

However, conspiracy theory is a powerful drug. With Brexit being led by a Remainer, May doing Hammond's bidding and the so-called Technical Notices raising the spectre of the discredited Project Fear, I see a second referendum having been their entire goal from Day 1.

Try reading the posts again. You will see that some people on here - not me - don't think we'll leave the EU. I think that's interesting.

What I've noticed is that some regular Remainers on this thread have nothing but contempt for key Leavers. I haven't seen the Leavers on this thread pour such vitriol and scorn on the leading Remain politicos, who are trying to overthrow a democratic decision.

I have never hidden my contempt for the remain side ,but the thread rules stop me from expressing my true feelings :)

Quisling is something used when you need something worse, and more emotional, than traitor. He was an anti-semite with sympathies to the Nazis even before the invasion and helped them in any way he could including with the Holocaust.
