    Brexiteers won the vote but lost the war

    Brexiteers won the vote but lost the war

    In spite of the key cabinet positions being held by ardent Brexiteers, Brexit is clearly failing.

    Hardline Brexiteers are only being indulged by Theresa May, with plans for a soft Brexit already coming together.

    The Irish border row late last year highlighted how Brexit was quickly changing, said broadcaster Matthew Parris, an MP for West Derbyshire from 1979 to 1986.

    He said much like a big fish caught on a line, Brexiteers were being allowed to tire themselves out before they were reeled in.

    But hardline Brexiteers are in the minority. Fewer hardline Brexiteers than remainers, I would suggest.

    So that's OK then.

      Recently watched ; "The Darkest Hour", some of you might like to watch it, it's a cracking film given the amount of appeasers there were around at that time (didn't want to fight and roll over, into what would have eventually meant the British all living, under Nazi rule), I see remoaners as those yellow bellied types.

      Am I being too harsh..?

        I think living under Brexiteer rule comes pretty close to living under Nazi rule

          No, you're just flipping the argument, which tends to be the MO of the alt-right. Always trying to project the blame onto others, refusing to do anything to fix the problem - apart from blaming others.

            Watch out, snowflake Brexiters hate being reminded of the truth.

              Your contention started off at a low ebb and went downhill from there.

                It was crap, over-hyped nonsense, like Brexit...

                  But, to be fair, it did come at a time when there was a real dearth of films about Churchill.
