NO such thing as Hard Brexit either. Sick of telling you this.
The result was not a slim majority either, over one million people voted to leave than Remain - the result was binary, the answer was to leave, not leave but let's stay in parts of the EU.
You do know what "Leaving" something means don't you ?
If 17.4 Million people do not get the Brexit they voted for, do you honestly think we are just going to sit there and smile and say, ok then just ignore the what I voted for, betray me and what we voted for, there will be a revolt and riots will quite possibly happen and I will be there because what I voted for, that WON, in a Democracy is being denied and that is NOT acceptable!!!

1. It's not just me who says this. Pretty much every economist says this as does the Government's own analysis. Time to face the facts and listen to people like Jaguar LandRover who actually make things in this country and less to daydreamers like Rees-Mogg.
2. Hard Brexit is an accepted term used in publications and other media throughout the world. I've given you links to prove this but you may not have had the opportunity to read them so I get your exasperation. Here they are:

3. 52-48 is slim compared to a two-thirds majority. In Norway there was a similarly slim majority to join the EU. So the country decided not to as it was not a compelling majority but instead opted to join the EEA.
4. I know what leave means Mick. Some may not like it but the can will be kicked gradually down the road, and there won't be one sudden flare-up point.
I do respect those who want a clean break. I find this more honest than saying we want to leave and then complaining that the pesky EU won't let us in Galileo and Europol. That's having your cake and eating it.
