Brexit will become the official religion to speak against it will be considered blasphemy and treason. Punished as a heretic and burnt at the stake.
We had a referendum, the fact that some did not vote is irrelevant, that was their choice.
The result of the Referendum was to leave, so be it.
Free speech did not die at all, you can say what you want about it.
That is completely different to trying to overturn a democratic decision.
I am extremely critical about some aspects of Theresa May's Brexit plans, in particular, Euratom.
However I do not seek to overturn a democratic decision.

They would, on the other hand, benefit the EU, but the remainiacs seem to care more about the EU than their own country.

Coming out of the EU means we have to re-instate previous laws and legislation and/or create new legislation.
We can then accept them, reject them or adapt them at our leisure. The EU dictators can do nothing to stop us.
SORRY. I SEE THAT SF JUST SAID THE SAME THING!

I must say though that I agree with Julie that if the vote had gone the other way it would probably all have been forgotten by now, which in itself speaks volumes about attitudes..

Had the referendum gone the other way, I'd have accepted the decision. Even though I'd have regarded it as idiotic, I wouldn't have harped on and on about it.
I can assure you that I am not affected by any editorials. Unlike some, I have the capacity to make up my own mind.

As you claim to be a conservative I cannot understand your attitude; surely conservatives champion individual rights and deplore government interference in the day to day lives of citizens? the removal of foreign laws interfering in the British way of life should surely have you dancing in the streets? not whinging about threats to some non existent democracy.
You are starting to sound like a socialist.
