[Politics] Brexit

[Kinky Gerbil]

Ah, haven't seen it. Social media does seem to attract the more vociferous elements on all sides.

Mind you I could understand why someone who has waited decades to have a say, votes with the majority to leave, might be a tad miffed if people were still trying to prevent it happening.

Fair enough, I have blocked a load of people (both sides) as it's made Twitter impossible to use.

But it's the democracy they wanted, British laws and principles etc.... why would they be worried a march would change anything?

Should we all shut up and fall into line with whatever the Government say?

I voted to stay, I think it's a mistake to leave personally - I won't join in a march/protest etc - but to say people should "get over it" that won't happen - and rightly so if they believe in something that much.

I think I'm in the camp of I've had enough of this now and can't wait for wed then we cAn actually see what happens

 

[portslade seagull]

No.

Germany has loads of space, if they will let you in

It's the EU way........................................

The People have Spoken, The B*stards...

No we shouldn't necessarily accept the government enacting the will of the democratic majority but we should apply the same standards to both sides. If we had voted to stay would the remain crew on NSC be eminently reasonable and understand if the losing side was protesting. Nope ... racist, thickos not accepting democracy would be the narrative.

And they would be equally as twatish

By the same token would we have used it as a mandate for a hard remain and join the Schengen and the Euro?

Very little may or may not happen on Wednesday, the markets will possibly be a bit jittery depending on May's opening gambit. Expect a rollercoaster ride for the next 2 years and then a feeling of " is that it ? is this what we voted for ? " and " all this grief for what ?"

Yeah, it was more the act of pressing the big red button!

I'll adopt him.

Good point. Worryingly, so many plates are spinning and we have so many alternate futures this could see a major break-up of the United kingdom, Scotland and Northern Ireland could both split off and leave us stuck with the Welsh !

I'm absolutely certain that many would be interpreting the result as meaning exactly that if the vote went the other way.

Admire your consistency. But in reality, we both know this thread would be long gone if the result had been different.

I expect many would have argued that case but that's not an accurate comparison as you well know.

That we don't know, I think we do know UKIP etc would not.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Which is your right to say. Putting you in exactly the same camp as Farage/UKIP if the result had been reversed ...ignoring the will of the democratic majority.

I ignore nothing.

I believe that my country is about to make a terrible mistake, with terrible consequences for our economy, and for the living standards of the British people.

It is my patriotic duty to stand up and do what I think is best for my country.

So, the fight goes on.

 

[JC Footy Genius]

That we don't know, I think we do know UKIP etc would not.

Ah but we do know. The hardcore remainers on this thread have frequently cited Farage not accepting a closish result as a reason to continue their equally undemocratic campaign.

there is no fight,it's finished

the remainers are fast becoming the new bedwetters of NSC

It is not undemocratic to campaign,

 

[Lincoln Imp]

Nope ... racist, thickos not accepting democracy would be the narrative.

...and the last time a Brexiter was accused on this board of being racist was...? Face it, it's just another urban myth.

Ignoring the will of the democratic majority puts you in the same company as numerous extremists ...
