    You really are a dim one aren't you. The ref came first, followed by the GE. The ref said 'Brexit', but not exactly what Brexit looked like. At the GE the voting public had a choice of which Brexit they went for - only UKIP offered hard brexit, and their vote collapsed. UKIP are a failed ideology. You lost, get over it. The public voted as a majority for a less radical Brexit offered by the Tories and Labour. Unfortunately there are still a vocal minority of cretins (much like yourself) who think the people want something that they have clearly rejected at the ballot box.

    I know this is difficult for you to understand with your religious fanatical beliefs around Brexit, but you're wrong. You lost. UKIP lost. Go crawl back under your rock. Or, continue to Makes no difference to me.

    I dunno if this helps, Original, but if you see lots of German planes amassing, if they say Lufthansa on the side, that's different to 'Luftwaffe'. And they can't bomb half the places you're worried about because the Germans are now the owners of those factories.

    I'm not a homi but I don't have anything against them - live and let live, I say - except they block up Central London with their Gay Pride marches.

    'Or is the EU some kind of top secret cabal of invisible masterminds wanting to control everyone ' - it's not a secret but yes they do want to control everything - if they had a choice there would be no individual countries and just a single country - with a single ruling party.

    I don't think so. I don't hope so.

    She's delivering the majority view of the people who've got half a brain, particularly in Parliament. Having tried to see how to do Brexit without causing a lot of damage, and not being able to enlist the europeans into digging us out of the mess by screwing up the EU, she's seen the writing on the wall and bravely set sail for BRINO. She's saving Britain - God bless her!

It is the duty of the elected government, of whatever colour, to deliver that exit exactly as prescribed by the electorate during the referendum, the default plan being no deal, anything else possibly by request by the EU if it wholly serves our interests.
    You voted as your convictions, that's good. Unfortunately the people of the UK did not agree with you and voted in May, with Corbyn 2nd. UKIP and their version of Brexit was nowhere to be seen (how many MPs do you have?). Therefore, the will of the people is for May to deliver Brexit; if the people wanted the extreme Brexit put forward by UKIP they would have voted UKIP. They didn't. So, as I say, suck it up buttercup, May is delivering to the will of the people If you don't like this, you know what to do ... and watch the door doesn't hit your @rse as you leave the country
