Or, two and a half years in which a whole section of the British and European political establishment has worked overtime on making it look excessively complex, in the hope, if not expectation, that an eventual impasse might result in a second referendum in which that complexity could be weaponised.

btw, re the "What’s the matter - chicken?" analogy, isn’t it the Leavers who are saying it’s OK to jump without knowing the outcome or potential issues?

The referendum campaign was fought in 2016. The Remain campaign had its chance to elucidate the complexities and risks of various post-Brexit scenarios, just as the Leave campaign had the chance to set out some of the possible opportunities. We listened, we decided, we voted. No matter how complex the implementation, the imperative to actually do the implementation is really very simple.

British democracy at it’s best, she took the electorate for granted and got her comeuppance, A bit like the Remain side did in the referendum, only she hasn’t complained about it and got on with it.

She was badly advised and those advisers got their cumuppence.

Nick Timothy and Fiona Hill, Mrs May's joint chiefs of staff, had faced fierce criticism over their role in the Tory election campaign as the party failed to secure a majority and the Prime Minister was left clinging to power.

You've only got to look at the people replying to this thread, there's at least three I've seen say they voted leave but if they knew what it'd entail they'd have voted remain, so it's untrue people know nothing new and I'll also point out I posted pre referendum that I'd have to reluctantly vote remain as I didn't have enough information on it and I wasn't the only person here that said that either, even in the tiny world of cable forum your notion that people know nothing new doesn't ring true.

Wow, “at least” three! I mean based on that.....well, you only have look........at least three. Speaks volumes doesn’t it?

That just highlights that there are ignorant and lazy people out there, it doesn’t prove that there wasn’t enough information available. There was plenty.

I respect your decision, but my only issue is with the word “reluctantly”? That’s like saying I loved somebody but I reluctantly dumped him as although I loved him, I didn’t love him enough to find out enough about him.
Or even worse it’s like saying I reluctantly married someone, because I didn’t do the homework.
The information was there, available for all.

Re: Brexit
Leave campaigners promised voters that the German motor industry would send a strong signal in the event of Brexit. This information was available for all but I'm not sure this is the outcome the campaigners promised us.
Quote:
Porsche is warning UK customers they might have to pay 10% extra for cars delivered after Britain leaves the EU.
The German firm wants buyers to sign a clause agreeing to a potential tariff, a move Porsche said is "precautionary".
Porsche's owner Volkswagen declined to discuss if some of its other brands, including Audi, Lamborghini, Skoda, Bugatti, Seat, and Ducati might follow.

Re: Brexit
The issue never was, and very much shouldn't be, "how difficult is it to leave?".
It was about what has happened(some of it unforeseeable), and what would happen if we stayed.

Exactly, I didn't look and remembered three of the top of my head, of a tiny little site like this, with even tinier numbers replying to the thread and nice attempt to move the goal posts, it was said no one had nothing new, well they have for a start

No there wasn't, I asked questions on here back then that still haven't been answered, some have only been answered due to the passage of time which hardly equates to information having been out there

The Remain campaigners warned us that this could happen Yet 52% of those voting in the Referendum still decided they wanted to Leave.

Re: Brexit
Good to see justice being done. There is absolutely no excuse for attacking ambulance staff, which I assume what "emergency worker" is.
Quote:
Six pro-Brexit protesters charged after London 'yellow vest' march
Six people have been charged after a number of police officers and emergency workers were attacked at a pro-Brexit yellow vest protest march in London.
Footage posted on social media appears to show some activists clashing with officers at the march through Whitehall and Piccadilly on Saturday.
Five protesters were charged with assault on an emergency worker, and one was charged with obstructing police.

Bloody hell, that is exactly what the Leave campaign was saying. German cars would be more expensive. Which would result on pressure to the German government to sort out a deal.
