tinfoilhat Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 That sums the situation up pretty well. Angel1. ---------- Post added 11-06-2018 at 10:49 ---------- Sums the situation up, time the whingers got on board and accepted the democratic will of the majority who could be bothered to vote. Angel1. Ah, excellent, I see a man with the plan. I'll get on board, but first tell me, on what? In fact, we are already half on board - we've taken back control and given it to idiots, demanded back sovereignty and now want to ignore it. So what am I supposed to get on board with?

Get on board what though ? At the moment, it seems like it's tickets on the Titanic that are being offered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Cats Hat Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 and we will be rid of you, your whingeing and your inability to accept that the majority are allowed to want something you don't The majority, as shown by most polls since 2016 do not want to go down this route. It is almost 2 years since the referendum and a hell of a lot has changed since then, largely down to a realisation of what a total mess the whole thing is!

ads36 Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 as above, on board with what? here's 2 simple choices : staying in the Customs Union (A), or a hard Irish border? (B) paying the divorce bill ©, or losing access to the fantastic science/research funding (D) which boat am i getting on? AC BC AD BD ? there's 4 different 'brexits' right there. we were definitely told that we would NOT be leaving the common market, but now it's looking likely. we were definitely told that we'd retain access to the research funding/cooperation, but we won't if we walk away without honouring our commitments. and what about agricultural subsidies? are we paying into the CAP? or replacing it with something of our own (at Huuuuge expense) or leaving it to market forces? (which is what the US will demand if we want a trade deal) can anyone tell me what i'm supposed to be cheering for? or is just a demand for un-critical jingoism?

nightrider Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 So after every election, those who voted labour should leave? Here is a better idea, you and the rest of the brexiters - make the damn thing work without destroying the country! Heres an even better idea - why don't they leave, instead of trying to ruin our country? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L00b Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 (edited) <...> we were definitely told that we'd retain access to the research funding/cooperation, but we won't if we walk away without honouring our commitments. Little-known fact (on here or in the MSM generally): for every £1 of its total EU contribution affected to EU research initiatives, in 2017 the UK was getting £1.24 back in EU research grant funding. But well, you know, when you keep hearing “they need us more than we need them” often enough... or is just a demand for un-critical jingoism?Save for unbeliever way-back-when, I haven’t seen anything else from Brexiteers on here.

tinfoilhat Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Heres an even better idea - why don't they leave, instead of trying to ruin our country? Let me get this right, you want 48% of the UK population to leave the country? Or do you just want silence people who don't agree with you? And how are these nay-Sayers ruining the country - I've got sod all power! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how are these nay-Sayers ruining the country - I've got sod all power! I meant the 52%, not the 48%. Specifically the subset of the 52% who keep telling people they should leave the country if they won't support brexit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotcha:thumbsup: I'm a wishy-washy liberal at heart and want us all to get along, and I'm sure if there was a vaguely cohesive plan we might get behind it. But there isn't. As scary as it sounds, this whole debacle wouldn't be happening under Blair or thatcher. They'd have either ignored the result altogether or just ploughed on and sorted something out.
