            The example I am going to give to the youth is that despite the idiotic majority who voted to leave the EU, but then skulked away into the corners and refused to do anything positive about it, that it is possible to carry on with the same ethics and principles I have today. Treat others the way I would like to be treated. Search for the truth, not the hype. Respect others. Respect the environment. Know where your food comes from. Try to do something positive, not negative.

            What example are you giving to the youth? Oh yes... If you do not get your own way it's okay to spit out your dummy and cry. Make sure you know who to blame for everything, make sure you never accept responsibility for everything, don't worry about the environment or others, as long as you're alright.
            Ah, so the voters can make policies on Brexit now can then? What a bellend.

              I guess if you selectively quote to take things out of context, then you could twist it that way.

              Here's the bits you omitted:

              It's happening - what are you going to do to support it?

If the Brexit supporters/leaders can come up with an idea that they can explain and present arguments for that are backed up with facts, then maybe the process will move forward.

              I do not think the youth of today need that encouragement - do you?
              Now, re-read my reply that you quoted.

              It appears those of us who voted to remain are supposed to be supporting something, but we have been given no clue by the Brexit camp what it is, so why shouldn't the "bellends" who voted for it show some support and come up with ideas as to what we are meant to be supporting, or is it just easier for them to say "not my job, someone else's problem, must be someone else I can blame"

                They do. You're missing the point. Brexiteers believe in an idealogy. They tell you we are going to get fantastic free trade opportunities across the known world and beyond, massive growth energised by being freed from the shackles of the evil EU bogeymen, freedom, old fashioned light bulbs and 3KW hairdryers, and sovereignty. You keep asking for detail but, really, that's a bit petty minded. That can all be sorted out over the next 50 or so years. Or whenever.

                Support the idealogy and stop this moaning about absolutely no evidence whatsoever.

                  But isn't there a deal on the table...the chequers deal? The problem is not everyone likes the chequers deal. So if you are asking for detailed ideas on Brexit that everyone agrees with and likes, including the EU and those that voted remain, then you are never going to get those ideas. what you are asking for is fantasy.

                    Brexit: The Opiate of the People (or 48% of them)

                    Exactly!

                    More than that however: Brexit is an idealogy, but a particular type of idealogy called 'faith'. When you are asked to believe in God it's not a case that "We might not be able to give you much evidence for what we say". It's categorically "We will not give you any evidence. If you have evidence, it is no longer a faith. You need to believe unthinkingly. That's what makes it special. That's what makes it promise the solution to all your dreams"

                    Remoaners just don't see that. They just can't get it. They can't achieve Nirvana (or at least the hope that Nirvana will arrive one sunny day) because they keep asking pointless questions.

                    We don't need the mainstream media. We don't need fake news. We need a Messiah.
