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. 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...

Try telling that to all those immigrants we took in, when Britain needed them after WW2.

Shall we now send most of them back?
If there were popular demand for it... but there isn't, thankfully, because the UK isn't mainly racist and it's not mainly stupid either.
You’d love that, wouldn’t you.

Neither is there a popular demand for a second referendum, because the UK is mainly democratic.

Interesting to note however that the main reason for the demand of a referendum for leaving the EU, was the immigration problem.

A big protest yes but only about 4% the size of the people who voted for Brexit.
There's never been a protest in this country that's attracted literally all the people in support of it, so that "4%" turned up, as if that's small, is neither here nor there.

In as much as there's any way of telling if the UK wants a second referendum or not, it seems likely that the country is basically split down the middle again.

There's nothing bizarre about it -- it's a statement of fact, and it's a cornerstone of democracy. You only find it bizarre because, right now, it suits you to ignore this.


Ignore what?
As far as I am concerned my country is the same country it was 2 years ago.

If you want to see change that has happened within a very small time span come to Germany.
So a few thousand Londoners marched.

London is NOT representitve of the rest of the UK.
I don’t think they were all Londoners, YMB.
And it was also more than "a few thousand".
Maybe this “Question” has the wrong title.

Perhaps “Roll up, roll up, all you semi-educated little Englanders! Come and have a go at the foreigners, or anyone with the vision and intellect to support the udea of a united Europe!” would be more accurate.
Ooooh de ja vu- I have a feeling I've heard all this before somewhere... but where? x
bainbrig, it wouldn't be accurate ...udea isn't a word.
If you want semi-educated watch my Twitter link.

Oh!!!! that's a tad racist.
Proof again that you have no idea what racism actually is, AOG.

I'm still struggling by what is meant by udea.
