//Some of you would do well to read this article://
You should stop reading the Grauniad, diddly. It's a depressing paper at the best of times and like most of its left wing readership, revels in doom, gloom and despondency (especially when there is a Tory government in power - i.e. most of the time).
The Leavers would not have to "rub our noses in it" as Mr Heseltine describes had the Remain factions in Parliament and elsewhere not been so downright arrogant and dismissive of the referendum result from the outset and used every tactic at their disposal to thwart the outcome. Had they simply accepted the result and moved towards making the outcome as successful as possible (as the Leavers would have had to if the result had been reversed) then far less acrimony would have followed. As I've said before, the Leave camp had to win on two fronts, the referendum (which was obviously understandable) and fighting attempts to prevent the implementation of the result (which was disgraceful and unforgivable). That's why Leavers finally and belatedly feel somewhat overjoyed.
As for the people on the Eurostar prattling on about the EU "keeping the peace" for 70 years, words fail me. The EU has done more to promote division and rancour amongst its members than anything in peacetime I could imagine. It has tried to force the integration of 28 diverse nations into a pseudo federal state and it will never work. There's far more likely to be outbreaks of violence as a result of EU policies than there would be if nations had been left to manage their own affairs. As well as that it seems many people don't know why GB is entitled "Great" Britain. It has nothing to do with being marvellous or super.

//NJ - are you sure you understood those articles? I doubt it.//
I understand them perfectly, thanks diddly. I've read them both fully (something I don't usually do with Guardian articles because they're usually too depressing but those made me chuckle). What is it you think I don't understand about them?

Diddly, along with a fair few other extreme remainers would love to bite of their nose to spite their face. Very odd.
However we should not lump all remainers in the same pot. There are many I know who want the UK to succeed and want the UK to move on - why wouldn't they?
As for the coin, yes its nice but along with Big Ben ringing and blue passports I really am not that bothered. Regaining our sovereignty is priceless.

Diddlydo, why cant you get behind the country. It voted to leave and now we are finally doing it. It doesn't really matter how you voted we are leaving. It isn't going to change just because you didn't like the result. If you are that unhappy with the result and you still want to stay in the EU then there are trains, planes and ferrys that will take you there.
I wouldn't like to play a board game with you as you would be the one who would throw the board when you didn't win or were losing. You really are a sore loser. Many others who voted to stay are now getting behind leaving as they know they have to and getting on with their lives. Not living in the past as you seem to be.

//...just fearful of what the future holds for my children and grandchildren and everyone I know who voted to Remain.//
That's a fair enough reason. So what is it you have reason to fear that a non-EU United Kingdom holds for your relatives and friends? Leavers are often asked what it is they believe Brexit will provide for them. What do you fear?
Of course you don't have to get behind the PM, the government and the rest of the country. But why have you reason not to? It's in all our interests to see the UK succeed. Had the referendum result gone the other way I would have been bitterly disappointed but I've lived for 46 years with the UK as a member of the EU and I could have managed a few more without slinking into the depths of despair as you seem to have. I've also lived under a few Prime Ministers I was none too fond of (including, surprising as it may seem, the two prior to this one). But life goes on and it's a little too short to worry about who lives at No.10.
