Looks like the Brexit argument is falling apart.

If you truly believe that the current system doesn't work for you then do something about it instead of crying into your cold fizzy cheap 'spoonies lager. Run as an independent. Sell your vision to your local constituents. Get them to vote for you so you can represent them in parliament.
No? Too difficult? Well shut up and stop complaining if you're not willing to do something practical about it. You don't even have the balls to go on a march with farage so you're certainly not going to say anything to a candidate who knocks on your door

What about those "continuity remoaners". They didn't lie did they.
Would they be OK ?

Over the next 2 years you watched with disbelief as this democratic process you have been told is better than violence is eroded by some people who you do not know and do not understand why they get a say in your life.
You then watch TV and see the english politicians doing exactly the same.
And so you come to realise that the vote did not work and you have been lied too.
And one of those liars is stood at your door in an expensive suit trying to kiss your children and tell you why you should vote for them.
You feel completely unempowered and frustrated - and feel this person in front of you is just spinning more lies for the sole reason of lining their own pockets at your expense.
What do you think is going to happen?

Has anyone noticed that these threats from Brexiteers always refer to their "big friends", "I won't be causing trouble but I have some big aggressive friends who will"

You can only push people so far before they snap.

Unfortunately, the referendum wasn't intended to be in the public interest. It was purely in the interest of the Tory party. It would never have been offered if Cameron et al thought there was a serious risk of Leave winning.
You were offered an option (Leave) which the powers at be had no clue as to if, or how, it could be delivered. For example, IMO, the incompatibility with the Good Friday Agreement should have been addressed before any public vote.
