Some of you have said you're going to leave but haven't.
If you hate what the majority of this country wants as clearly as you seem to; if you hate democracy as much as you seem to; if you want to be controlled by other country's members that you can't vote to remove, then why are you still here?
Stop whinging and do something.
The rest of us have done something and are prepared to live with whatever comes. The rest of you just seem to want to run along like little lemmings, doing whatever it is you are told to. Have the courage of your convictions and move to central Europe and make new lives for yourselves somewhere with massive youth unemployment and where your children will have little chance of getting work.
Grow some nuts! (for ATW to chew on).

He is too old to be a millenial.
That leaves him as either Gen X or Gen Y.
The fact that he comes across as a needy self-absorbed moron means that whichever of those 2 he is, my insults were entirely applicable.
Happy now?
Oh and there are arguments when each generation started.

Originally posted by vwdan View PostFirstly, using "majority" to describe 51.9% is, while semantically correct, is disingenuous at best. That's in the region of an error margin and any reasonable person understands the result could have slipped the other way. More to the point, had they slipped the other way, I highly doubt the leavers would have stayed quiet.
Secondly, I have almost no doubt that a good percentage of leavers had no real idea what it was they were voting for and I'm absolutely positive that May won't be giving them what they thought they wanted.
So off you ****, there's a good chap.

Originally posted by NickFitz View PostThere was a referendum in 1975 in which a decisive majority voted to stay in the EEC. That didn't stop some people complaining about it for the next forty-odd years. To suggest that a wafer-thin majority in last year's referendum means anybody who disagrees with the result should just shut up and put up is hypocrisy, not democracy.
EU referendum: Did 1975 predictions come true? - BBC News
Enoch Powell, the maverick right wing Tory who had just become an Ulster Unionist MP, and left wing Labour cabinet minister Tony Benn - the loudest voices in the Out campaign - talked endlessly about it.
In its leaflet to voters, the Out campaign warned that the Common Market "sets out by stages to merge Britain with France, Germany, Italy and other countries into a single nation," in which Britain would be a "mere province".
The In campaign openly acknowledged that being a member of the EEC involved "pooling" sovereignty with the eight other nations who were members at the time.
But it said Britain could not go it alone in the modern world and it assured voters that British traditions and way of life were not under threat.
The In campaign also stressed that all the big decisions in Europe would be subject to a prime ministerial veto - something that no longer holds true 41 years later - and that there was no need for Community-wide laws apart from for a "few commercial and industrial purposes". Today's Leave campaigners would take issue with that "few".
Enoch Powell was asked to explain why the British people had ignored his warnings about giving up the power to determine laws, as it became clear that his side had lost.
"It is a thing so incredible to them that I am not inclined to blame them overmuch," he told the BBC.
