On that l think we can be in agreement as sadly there has been a litany of lies by both sides.

Brexshit
This is now serious. A bit of tedious verbal ping-pong on the brexit result is one thing; a covert attempt to subvert British democracy is another.
A hard rain's a-gonna fall.

The Government is negotiating a deal that they think is best for the country - just because you don't agree with it, doesn't make it a subversion of democracy.
If any Remainers made a comment like that about a proposal they didn't agree with, they would (rightly) be shouted down.
That't the problem - for some people, there can be no compromise, but the real world is based on compromise.

I'm free to express my opinion which you have just shouted down
Democracy is being subverted.

There would never have been a compromise had Remain won, so forgive me if I disregard it.

And that’s the problem - some see disagreement, or a different viewpoint, as being shouted down.
I disagreed with your premise, I did not shout you down...

I’m impressed you can see the outcomes in alternate timelines...

Nicely put- but a Remain win would have meant no change so of course no compromise. So a moot point.
Betrayal comes more to mind. The Leave vote understood the possibility of cliff edge. We need to get away from the EU and its federal programme and those particular Brussels turds.

Re: Brexit Discussion (New thread-Follow First Post Rules!)
I think we are all being too quick to rush to judgement on Theresa May's plan.
If the plan is to enable us to make our own deals with the rest of the world, have a separate trading arrangement with the EU ensuring frictionless borders, enable us to make our own employment laws, extracate ourselves from extortionate payments from the EU and end free movement - what is left to complain about?
Let's see the detail before we rush to judgement.

The difficulty we're in is profound. We either have to water down Brexit if we are to have close trading ties to the EU (it would seem seriously watered down) or we have to have a clean break. The latter better reflects the Referendum result.
But the 52/48 split is another problem that fuels the Remainers in an undemocratic manner. Some of them plead that democracy is best served by a second referendum. If that is coupled with the fact that after two years eyes have been opened on both sides of the fence, then there is a case for a second referendum.
We either leave entirely (no deal) or we stay in the EU. The May proposal is a very bad deal that betrays the Referendum result.

Re: Brexit Discussion (New thread-Follow First Post Rules!)
If this deal is so unacceptable then people need to come up with an alternative. The goldilocks Brexit does not exit. The thing about no-concessions, better trade deal, does not exist. Even standard trade deals involve concessions. The country needs to wake up to this.
