And there's a lot better vacuum cleaners than Dysons. Support the British economy and a British company paying taxes and employing British people - buy a Henry.

Lets say it will end badly for the UK. What price freedom?
I would cancel Brexit if it meant stopping non-dom status, disallowing branding as a business expense and taxing global income on UK citizens. And if HMRC went after the rich with the same zeal they go after the poor.

You can use all the weasley words you like. No-one has any idea what the affect on Brexit will be on the UK.

In South Africa to get freedom from an oppressive regime, violent action was taken which minimized civilian casualties. Now that is seen as not just okay, but the right thing to have done. Nelson Mandela is seen as a freedom fighter, not a terrorist.
And yet the apartheid regime used similar weasley words to which you used to justify their actions.
I might add that few in the UK want Brexit. However the people are sick and tired of inequality. The vote was a protest one.

Originally posted by BrilloPad View PostYou have gone native. The Swiss don't believe in democracy. Just making as much money as possible.
1. The vote was not legally binding on the government nor parliament.
2. The UK is a representative democracy - MPs votes according to what they think is best for the country, not what the majority of the voting electorate think.
3. As a result of 1. and 2. there is nothing undemocratic or unlawful about MPs/the government choosing to cancel Brexit.
My opinion is that Brexit is bad for Britain, and worse for Britain than remaining. This opinion does not indicate in any way, shape or form, a lack of belief in democracy being the least worst possible form of government.
