Shall we all join together and start calling it Messxit?
“There’s a growing realisation that this is a long game. There’s actually very little information out there, and very little substance to get into. It’s hard to coalesce people around particular policy positions when the government has no policy to speak of. That’s quite a challenge.”
From link: “It’s a long process of gradually bringing people round to our way of thinking, on all sides,”
And we all want to think like Blair and Farron who have clear, rational heads and can always be relied upon to make the right call (even where little information is out there!). They are literally 'losers'.
As we voted to leave we need to get on with it and stop this messing around. MPs who wish to challenge the result should first look at how their constituencies voted and if they voted to leave then they should stand down as MPs as they are not doing what they were voted in to do and that is to represent the people who voted for them. Rant over.
It could take up to ten years, according to some reports, WOW! and that's after article 50 is triggered , and we don't even know when that will happen, if it ever does.
Every actual figure that comes out (inflation, growth, etc etc) is better than expected ...
... could it be that the only real post-referendum problem is that the metropolitan elite and their apologists in the press are endlessly talking down the economy?
The only actual downside (if indeed it is that) is the fall in sterling - caused entirely by the fly-boys in the gambling casinos of the foreign exchange markets artificially corrupting the rates to make a (dis)honest buck.
Nope Naomi. You misinterpreted my smiley. It's meant to convey a small amount of smugness at the protest voters who thought they were getting one over on 'the system'. Seems like the system is alive and kicking. It's tempered by the fact that we were and continue to be misled by the people whom we have appointed to govern us.
Brexit is like the weather ,cant cope with snow it's been around for millions of years .to much sun running to lock up the hosepipe .Just cause people were duped into voting to leave the Europe thing everybody is confused .Sit Nigel and his band down and ask did you mislead the people if yes new ref ,if no let's get out now stop all this will we won't we.Id say at least 5500 people who voted out have died never getting to see the results of their vote .
“Id say at least 5500 people who voted out have died never getting to see the results of their vote“
And I’d say you were a bit adrift with your calculations, weecalf.
Around 1400 people a day die in England and Wales. Just over 150 days have passed since the referendum meaning a little over 210,000 souls have shuffled off this mortal coil since that momentous day.
72% of the electorate voted and 52% of them voted to Leave. If you apply those figures directly to those deceased then around 78,000 Leavers have not lived to see their wish fulfilled. And that’s just in England and Wales.
