Actually it's the fault of Tory Scum who
a) allowed referendum with unclear (of consequences) question with simple majority allowed and lots of lies during campaign
b) turned Brexit into cut your nose in spote your face thing

simple majority allowed

So how else can you get a democratic decision? Many elections are won by very narrow margins too, is that an argument for not having any?

Hammond is quite right to blame Bliar. By not taking advantage of the temporary restrictions he made the UK the easy choice. The flow of migrants during that period inevitably raised the flow afterwards because people, not unnaturally, want to go where they can be with others of the same culture.

Britain was one of only three countries – alongside Sweden and Ireland – that decided to have no transitional arrangements to limit the flow of people from eastern Europe looking for work

No no no, it's the nasty EU that let them in, not our own government with their sovereign control!

Voters were given two choices, a lubricated butt plug or a hammer, depending on your outlook you will make your own association back to remain and leave.

A friend of a friend overheard a man in a pub saying that the EU actually print leaflets which are distributed through Eastern Europe telling them to go to the UK

Just think if B'Liar had imposed the restrictions and the flow had been controlled , had allowed a referendum on Lisbon treaty its unlikely we would have Brexit. Same if the EU had addressed our concerns.

So do you damn Cameron for allowing the Public a vote, the Public for voting or the idiots that tried to run roughshod over us?

If we had a referendum in the Lisbon treaty we would have had a few until we voted for the right answer. That would have taught idiots like Camoron that referendums are a very bad idea.

Well we have only had One National Referendum in recent times, and in that we got the right answer.

The "right answer", of course, being the one that the majority actually voted for.

That is kind of the way that our democracy is meant to work. Is that something you have an issue with?
