    Harsh, but it made me smile.

      The "people" made their views abundantly clear over 2 years ago.

      Not our fault that simpletons like you are taking so long to adjust to democratic reality.

      HTH

      More simpletons then: Leave Means Leave

      Leave Means Leave has restarted the Brexit campaign.
      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

        I am going with biggest in terms of total populous turnout ever. Happy to be corrected though.

        At least you are attempting to engage.

        Here's a WIKI link for your delectation:

        Referendums in the United Kingdom - Wikipedia

        You'll see that it is the biggest voter turn out when you look at those registered to vote, i.e. 72.11%.

        Considerably bigger than when we went in 1975.

        Enjoy.
        ah, biggest REFERENDUM turnout by numbers. Not what you First said
        …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

          The People's Vote....

          Remainer: "we need a second referendum as we didn't know what we were voting for"

          Brexiter: "So you're going to change your mind with the new information?"

          Remainer: "No, but I expect you to...."

            If you look at another referendum in the UK a few years ago, the Good Friday Agreement. All the work was done on drawing up the agreement, getting the wording done, and then copies of the agreement were sent to every household in NI. People were then given time to digest it before the referendum vote was held.
            The arguments for and against the agreement were not based on imagining what the agreement might be or promising what the future would hold or wouldn't hold. It was based on the words of the agreement. The arguments were about whether it was a good idea or not, whether it gave too much away (or not enough), etc.
            When the people voted, they knew what they were voting for, with details, and not just politicians promises.

              Massively polarised groups, both with blood on their hands looking for a way out of the bloodshed - subtly different to Brexit, would you not think?

                Polarised, maybe - some but not all. And hasn't Brexit had the same effect - polarising people? You only have to look at the language used on here to describe those who disagree.

                Did everyone in NI have blood on their hands? Definitely not.

                As for "looking for a way out of the bloodshed", yes, that's true, but there are those who believe that if Brexit does not happen in a particular way, then the UK is giving in to terrorists, and those who believe that if Brexit happens in that same way, that it will encourage a return to bloodshed.

                  You have to remember that churchy is an antisemitic turd, and an important part of antisemitism is the idea of collective guilt (consider Matthew 27: 25-26).

                    RIP

                    May will go.

                    In her heart of hearts she knew that when she pressed the Destruct Button.

                    I admit I had her wrong. I thought triggering Article 50 was one of the biggest mistakes in British history. But I now see it was one of the most brilliant manouevres ever. Nelson couldn't have done better.

                    It meant HMS Brexit (captured by the forces of unpatriotic, self deluded evil) would sink without trace. Captain May would go down the ship but our noble country and its citizens (rich and poor) would be saved.

                    The Brexit Rebels are starting to cotton on. Shock is creeping across their wizened faces. But it's all too late. Look forward to a watery grave you treasonous mob!
