Brexit is being lead by Leavers, Davis, Fox and Boris.
Until we have a PM and a complete cabinet of leavers, we cannot be sure that they really do intend to withdraw the UK from the EU, without punitive 'fines' of course.

Anyone who doesn't care if that happens because of a tunnel vision tickbock exercise about what Brexit must be is not a true patriot.
I have said before that if Compo the Clown were to become PM and I continually whinged about this being a bad decision, you expect that he and the Loony Party would be kicked out of government as a consequence of my whingeing, would you?

Democracy is an ongoing beast and is owned by everyone not just "you people". It doesn't end with a vote. Otherwise Tory voters would be up in arms whenever anyone moaned about Theresa May. The good thing about voting in a general election is you get another go if you get it wrong. In the case of this fiasco it's a one off. Not that I want another referendum, that's a totally stupid idea. Voters should just let the government get on with this the best way they can given our economic gloom and shoddy infrastructure. If they need a transition period then voters should accept that. Our economy is more important than personal pet peeves.

All the griping about us leaving but no one has been able to tell me exactly what Europe will look like in ten years either. It's an exciting scary time for uk but I think it's sad for eu members as they hurtle into one country against most people's wills.
