Judging by the looks of them, I wish they would leave the UK and go and live in the EU, if they like it so much.

The situation is straightforward: The UK electorate voted to leave the EU. However close the result was (and the majority was 1.269m votes on a turnout of 72%) is immaterial.

Surely the essence of a democracy is the opportunity to protest.

For 'anti-democracy' read 'how dare they disagree with me'.
//Do you have proof togo? //

Nothing within your comprehension range I'm afraid.
What confuses me is this:

If there is No Deal, there is nothing to vote on.

If there is a deal rejected by popular vote, then we are back to No Deal.

Irrespective of the shouting the decision has been made; we are leaving the EU.

As Caesar said on crossing the Rubicon, 'Alea iacta est' (the die is cast).
Lol. That will be a no then togo. :-)
Togo
Lol :-)
//I suggest all the remainers up stumps and go to ,virtually, a police state like France. //

No good going there Retro......the Frogs are all hooping it to Budapest.
""French citizens are now joining Germans and others seeking a new life in the Hungarian capital of Budapest in order to escape the negative effects of uncontrolled mass migration. More and more French are seeking to escape to what they see as the safety of Budapest according to a new documentary called Hungary: the Promised Land that was broadcast on French television this week, France Info reports.""

Or how dare they disagree with me being disagreeable.
I agree.
Disagreeable as ever Douglas. :)) (^_*)
The situation is straightforward:

The UK electorate voted to leave the EU. However close the result was (and the majority was 1.269m votes on a turnout of 72%) is immaterial. It was a substantial number. The government who called the referendum (and who framed the question and spent vast sums of public money trying to persuade the electorate to vote to remain) pledged to implement the result of the referendum.

All that has happened since then is that the EU has - entirely predictably - made it as difficult as possible for the UK's departure to be smooth and pragmatic. They have been assisted in their quest by the utter ineptitude of the current government in "negotiating" our departure.

If the result had been reversed (i.e 1.269m more voters voted to leave than to remain) there would have been none of this. Demands for a second referendum would - quite rightly - have been dismissed and the result of the referendum swiftly implemented - i.e. business as usual.

Talk of a "People's vote" is ludicrous. What is being demanded is a vote of people who do not agree with the outcome of the referendum. It is incumbent on the current government to honour the pledge of its predecessor. Anything else is simply nonsense. You don't decline to do something because it proves a bit tricky. You do what is right regardless of the difficulties and the right thing is to respect the referendum result and extract us from the EU as quickly as possible. The country should have ceased to be a member more than three months ago and this continuing prevarication is doing more harm to the country that Brexit ever will.
I'd not thought of it like this, a very convincing argument...don't you think?

Catchy slogan.
They were marching for a further vote. The anti-democratic Quitters want to deny the people having a new more informed voice now that the consequences of quitting the EU are all too clear.
yet again London is brought to a halt - i don't get out much these days but if i did i would avoid the centre like the plague.
I voted to leave and am amazed that we haven't got to that stage already.

Anneasquith 19.30 " so, does anyone know if/when Brexit will occur "
According to the PM, She now wants to delay it until at least 2021, and probably by then it will have been kicked into the long grass and everyone will have forgotten about it.
Gulliver it is the transition period that she wants to extend .Not dlay Brexit.
then she will have a rebellion on her hands and a possible leader challenge.
Emmie,it looks like she already is going to be challenged with a vote of no confidence.
1922 committee are firing up it seems.

About time too. Treason May needs removing.
