Most Brexiteers know, that whilst Brexit is within their circle of concern - it does not enter their circle of influence, until a vote of some kind, is held.
(This generally holds true for most MPs (not in cabinet) and the public)

Your sig states you want a hard Brexit - isn't having no plan, the quickest way to achieve that?
(Surely you should be happy about lack of plans, unless of course, your signature is entirely facetious?)

Plan A for the Brexiters: Have your cake and eat it.

Now that this isn't going to happen, it looks like Plan B: Hard Brexit.

Plan B is fine by me - I've planned for it. The schadenfreude would be delicious. Also I think it's the best way for reality to return to Narnialand.

Why so serious in your prior post then?, you should be happy with the current state of affairs.

I have enough patriotism to regret the diminution of a once great country.
It's a sad thing that there are so many stupid cretins that we're in a situation where the only way reality can be achieved is by causing economic self-harm.

Must be a tricky day job, balancing your patriotism (I'm getting out the UK, suckers) and your schadenfreude (Brexit - the comedy gift, that keeps on giving).

Perhaps that's why you're so unhinged.

You seem to be on your medication today.
No long posts with underlining, tedious non points laced with non-sequiturs today.
Maybe the meds will wear off.

Glad you implicitly agree, that you're unhinged.

Yes everyone on CUK knows you're a stable genius.

Don't shoot the Voters

the diminution of a once great country.

The UK has not been great for a very long time - a bit like Venice.

It was however very impressive during WW2 - our finest hour. However the citizenry were then being tasked to solve simple, direct problems. The direction came from a small group of carefully selected and educated people. Evolution hasn't favoured genotypes that can think across complex ill-defined issues. One in two hundred males didn't descend from Genghis Khan because he was a good politician. Successful humans over the last 10000 years followed very simple strategies involving large amounts of recklessness and blood.

British people are generally quite good at fixing your plumbing, delivering parcels, buildiing aircraft engines, burgling houses, writing Java programs - those sorts of simple obvious things requiring limited critical thinking. Complex propositions with sophisticated analysis of abstract ideas is the limited province of special roles like politicians (and programme managers of course). It wasn't the British who were Cretins. It was Cameron who exceeded all previous incompetence by employing a referendum - a truly, utterly ridiculous idea, a bit like the captain of your Ryanair flight getting into difficulties and inviting all 180 passengers into the cockpit to fly the plane.
