Top Cats Hat Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 And what did the Stop the War March achieve? Given that the Iraq War was almost certainly illegal and was largely responsible for many of today's problems in the area, maybe the politicians should listen to the people for a change and not make another disastrous mistake.

They didn't have a referendum about the Iraq War. However, they did listen to the people regarding the UK's membership of the EU and the people told the politicians they wanted to leave the EU on 23rd June 2016.

No one takes any notice of their socialist rubbish . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penistone999 Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Can you link to forecasts that say we'll be better off? Can you link to forecasts that say we will be worse off ? ---------- Post added 20-10-2018 at 16:13 ---------- I suspect a lot of them couldn't as they were 16/17 at the time. There were a load of ten year olds who couldnt vote either. Thats just the way it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinfoilhat Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 I suspect a lot of them couldn't as they were 16/17 at the time. And maybe they voted leave only to realise they've made an awful mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Cats Hat Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Can you link to forecasts that say we will be worse off ? You know as well as everyone else that every credible forecast, including the government's own which they even tried to hide from parliament, say that the UK will be much worse off after leaving the EU. Maybe you would like to show us an alternative view that doesn't consist of anything more than wishful thinking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
