WW2, British imperialism and the EU amongst other things

Wish they'd get a life and accept it like I had to with Scotland.

What's worrying is this 'hate crime'. I'm not sure it's accelerated so much but that more of it is being reported since the referendum. I know this because my wife is English and we lived in Edinburgh a while and she had a hard time with Anti-English sentiment from the family from hell upstairs.. This is why I live in North East England now. What I'm trying to point out to those who say it's a new thing is that it is not. It's always been there and always will be.

Now me, I get called Jockanese down here and I love it. Doesn't worry me in the least but it's racist all the same. I ain't about to go running to the Polis to report it.

52% leave; 48% remain
5+2 = 7
4+8 = 12
7 < 12
therefore we must have a second referendum.

You seem to have a sense of humour blind spot on this issue going by missing the satire.

I wish you'd accept that people are allowed to be unhappy with the result and, in a democracy, are under no obligation to accept it but we can't have everything. I'm with Ian Hislop on this one I'm afraid and looking at my LinkedIn and social media I'd like to think I have a life.

If you want an echo chamber where everyone is delighted with the referendum result and consider everything suggesting any negative connotations to the result as being propaganda there are plenty of them around.

Considering they are all actors in a satirical sketch (as Igni said), not sure what your point is...

It's over now time for us all to calm down and I've suffered supposed hate crime in the UK many years before any referendum but didn't bother about it or even think about reporting it there have always been a minority that take any excuse to exercise their thug side.

Having been in the same situation I do understand it. I was on the losing side in the Scottish Independence referendum and have to accept the result. Or are you advocating that Scotland should have another referendum on independence just because some can't accept the result?

It seams to me that it is you who do not understand here. You do not need a second referendum on the EU. The Government are under no obligation to invoke Article 50 as a referendum is only a guideline and is not legally binding. Therefore, you should be concentrating your efforts on the Government stating your reasons why they should not invoke A50 and not wasting your time demanding a second referendum which is not going to happen. In both cases, can you imagine the trouble in this country if the Government ignored the result of the referendum or refused to invoke A50?

My point is that they are playing out what remainers are saying and wanting. You must have heard the saying, "There is many a true word spoke in jest."

A Play on Maths. Very good.

I am not demanding a second referendum. I am aware it's not going to happen.

I will remind you that the petition that was submitted was actually produced by someone in favour of Brexit.

People didn't just get a life and get over it after 1975. Don't see why it should be any different in 2016 just because the result went the other way.

No idea what you mean regarding trouble that would happen. We will see I guess.

Funny how people are obsessed with democracy suddenly having just had the least representative election in living memory, having an unelected second chamber still, and in many cases having voted away the most representative election they got to participate in.

I see it as my fundamental right to be able say I told you so at all and every opportunity..we do still have free speech provided it isn't a hate crime..

Where is the evidence that they didn't "get over it" at the time. The EEC was nothing compared to the EU today. That is where the differences arise. How many who voted yes in 1975 had in mind a picture of what the EU is today?
