Time to swallow some pride?

I was a strong Brexiteer. Now we must swallow our pride and think again | openDemocracy

It’s nearly three years since I, along with 17. 4 million other Britons, voted for Brexit. Today I have to admit that the Brexit project has gone sour.

Brexit has paralysed the system. It has turned Britain into a laughing stock. And it is certain to make us poorer and to lead to lower incomes and lost jobs.

We Brexiteers would be wise to acknowledge all this. It’s past time we did. We need to acknowledge, too, that that we will never be forgiven if and when Brexit goes wrong. Future generations will look back at what we did and damn us.

So I argue, as a Brexiteer, that we need to take a long deep breath. We need to swallow our pride, and think again. Maybe it means rethinking the Brexit decision altogether.

I agree. I would like to see a commons vote with 2 options. Stay in EU or leave with no deal.

EU will turn into a laughing stock if it lets this carry on. For the UK, the damage is done and will take years to reverse.

"Did those predicting withdrawal from the EU’s data protection laws would turn Hoxton into the “software capital of the world” know how absurd that prediction would prove, or had they merely stolen a march by sampling mushrooms they hope the UK would legalize post Brexit?"

There's still a chance of a "no deal" Brexit, but I suspect we're more likely to end up with a Brexit that Leavers dislike even more than Remainers.

For Leavers, is BRINO worse than staying in?

They change their mind about that every week. Look at Rees-Mogg/Rabb/Johnson flipping on MV. Intellectual coherence is not a strong point.

[woohoo]

Swallow some pride and let democracy die at the hands of the nazi sympathiser junker.

Merkel would love it goose stepping around her bunker in her stockings and boots knowing she had finally beaten the British.

Protest where it hurts them, don’t buy a Porsche get a Tesla

I don't think I will see Brexit in my lifetime. The UK will go downhill. Though this will not help the EU much.

Things will pick up after your lifetime.
