Boris Puts The Record Straight – His Resignation Statement

That's a strange non sequitur, naomi.

so we come around to the idea that it was “undemocratic” for johnson to be sanctioned for misleading parliament… how utterly pathetic

[naomi24]

Why don’t you answer my question, JDavis? Since you deem ‘the will of the people’, ie the result of a democratic referendum, nonsense, would you prefer to live in a country ruled by a dictator?

[JDavis]

Maybe I should explain it more simply, naomi. I'm obviously not attacking democracy per se - I'm saying it's misleading to call this particular vote the will of the people. As I said a couple of days ago, true democracy relies on the people being well-informed which wasn't the case with the Brexit vote.
Very few, including myself, understood what Brexit would entail and the different kinds of Brexit there were. And since the winning margin was so small, it's reasonable to assume there was no mandate for a hard Brexit. It's no use saying, as TTT did, there is only one kind of Brexit - that is simply not true.

There is only one kind of brexit. The one where our politicians however terrible they may be run our country. All the rest is just details and noise. If they'd end their hissy fit we could cooperate with each other and have trade deals etc. That's what I mean by one brexit, the one where we run our own country.

[naomi24]

JDavis, there is only one type of Brexit. ‘Leave’ meant leave - and if you didn’t understand that you can hardly blame anyone else for your own ignorance and your own failings.

Just going round in circles, this thread. Maybe you should close it, Naomi?

it is not true that there was only one kind of brexit

i am afraid if you think that then you didn’t understand the subject you were voting on

[Untitled]

i believe in parliamentary democracy not rule by plebiscite

[naomi24]

The thread is fine. There’s no reason to close it.

I did ask the other day whether or not they thought that Brexit had happened. I don't recall getting a reply.

[naomi24]

Untitled. Leave means leave. If you have a leg trapped in the door you’re restricted.

Atheist see above.

[ToraToraTora]

16:57 what are the others then?

[Zacs-Master]

Ah, ok, Naomi. Business as usual.

TTT @ 16.49 "That's what I mean by one Brexit, the one where we run our own Country" .....You have had seven years since the referendum to run your own Country TTT and just look at the mess you have made of it without having the EU to hold your hand and guide you. The EU have said the UK can ask them for help when you are in deep troubled water..which you are in now.
Take them up on it before it is too late.

[Zacs-Master]

‘ The EU have said the UK can ask them for help when you are in deep troubled water’

Have they, really?

[Atheist]

Naomi at 17:01.
I think that you are saying that we haven't left (i.e. Brexit hasn't happened). If I misunderstood your post perhaps you will clarify. If I was right, then you have my personal sympathy for the position you must be in.

[ToraToraTora]

17:17, well at least you are clear that brexit has happened and we are running our own country, perhaps you can tell your apostles.

[naomi24]

Atheist, if Brexit hasn’t happened what have you all been moaning about for all this time?

[Zacs-Master]

Boris Johnson and the government in general, mainly. Which is ironic.
