Perhaps he should have his clothes made here and pay a decent wage instead of 28p per hour.

Zacs-Master - // I can only go on the evidence I’ve gleaned from discussing why people voted to leave on here and a few discussions in the real world, AH.
So far, the reasons I’ve been given include being able to buy better lightbulbs, stronger weed killer and paint stripper and something about Sovreignty, and freedom which, when pressed, leave voters can’t even quantify, let alone describe how they’ll improve when we’ve left. //

The please let me give you a couple more reasons -

The return of law-making for the UK to the elected parliament.

The prevention of unfettered immigration.

The rights of UK businesses to sell their goods and services to whom ever they wish by virtue if self-negotiated trade deals.

So please ignore the clichéd media nonsense that gives you lightbulbs and weed killer, and look at it seriously.

Except, I know I am not telling you something you don't already know, because unlike you - just because you don't agree with me doesn't mean I think you are too stupid to know what you are talking about.

Save your keyboard Andy he's been told those a dozen times by a dozen people but he just ignores them and latches on to irrelevancies.

\\Webbo is this post about his deed or about how much he pays his enployees? You seem scattered. Gather yorself, and try again.//

Both, he seems more concerned about staying in europe when the core part of his business(manufacturing) is nowhere near Europe.

And as for the money. leave were not lucky enough to have tax payers money, £9M to fund the leave campaign whereas leave is being fined for over spending by nearly 500k, but remain can have as much as it likes.

Gather yourself Spath........we're leaving with no other vote.

I don't think the public are too stupid to vote on a new deal, I also don't think anyone is stupid enough to offer the option and further muddy the water. We don't know what is ahead, everyone seems to have a different idea, ranging from total catastrophe to utopia. I suspect we will get some sort of halfway house deal which satisfies neither side in the short term. It will be up to the government and business to create the links out in the wider world we will desperately need.
As for law making there will still be influence if not power from Europe as we will need some compatible structures to continue trading. The difference is on those issues that only affect us we will not have interference.
So if this gentleman wants to fund a new and expensive poll to gain evidence for a planarendum let him. His money wasted because by the time he has his information and created a campaign around it departure day will probably have already been and gone.

One need not google advisory because, as we all know, it was morally obligatory not to waste public money on a referendum without following through, *legally* advisory or not; and that was the agreed understanding. One does not have democracy in any form if going against the expressed will of the majority.

Is there no end to this trying to thwart the will of the people ? The decision has been made, it's up to the government to simply do it.

"I suspect we will get some sort of halfway house deal which satisfies neither side in the short term. It will be up to the government and business to create the links out in the wider world we will desperately need."

The concern is that an incompetent PM may get a deal that ties us so much that we aren't really out, and so government won't have the option to get worldwide trade deals for business to take advantage of. The present government seems keen to prevent trade deals outside the EU. One can only hope the EU suddenly sees sense (not LOL) or we hit the fallback 'no deal' scenario and make the most of it.

IT's quite obvious the original referendum was a dodgy result, people did not know what they were voting for. They were Turkeys voting for Christmas

[Old_Geezer]

Well, you're entitled to speak for your own side, I suppose.

[naomi24]

Spath, this ‘advisory’ nonsense is just that. Nonsense. Prime Minister David Cameron said before the referendum, “It’s a very simple question on the ballot paper. You either remain in the European Union or you leave the European Union. It’s a single decision, it’s a final decision.”

That was what the British public was promised. If the referendum was only ‘advisory’, there would be no negotiations because the government, firmly on the ‘Remain’ side, would be free to ignore it. More slithering around from disgruntled Remainers.

[rowanwitch]

It always surprised me they didn't set a clause with the referendum that a certain target maybe 60 % leave had to be reached there was always going to be problems without a clearer mandate. I voted leave, and I know my idea would probably have meant we would have stayed but I think the divisions the narrow margin have created are making the whole process more difficult and divisive than it needed to be.

I take it you are talking about the leave voters or both !!

Spath, Maybe should read this before making wild statements about voters not knowing what they voted for:-

But they are partly responsible. The PM is a remainer anyway, but more to the point, the constant dissent etc. encourages the government not to try properly and the EU not to shift position.
