Without our knowledge, without any attempt to inform us, educate us and make us properly aware of what he was about to do and how it would affect us for the rest of our lives, he pushed ahead with the Treaty. This was the travesty. In that act he banished sovereignty, he banished the UK parliament and Westminster, he banished the Labour, Liberal and Conservative parties, General Elections and ultimately banished democracy itself. Had we stayed in the EU, all of those things would have disappeared . . . forever . . . with no chance of ever restoring them.

As a population we have to ask, how could a fat politician or PM ever wield such power to dictate such monumental changes to the country without a public vote? That situation HAS to be changed and done so immediately and those that have done this to the UK should be brought to trial and possibly tried for treason.
Yes, I agree. The BBC:

Blair - quite probably responsible for the IZAL situation.
Brown - as explained above.
Cameron - attempted to trick us into remaining in the EU.

Yes, changes must be made. I think I read somewhere that at least one country in Europe - perhaps Switzerland - has a political rule that if a certain number of people request it, a referendum must be held for any major government decision. To me, that's more of a democracy - rule of the people by the people - than we have at present.

He did not stand up to his personal beliefs as did a lot of others in this debacle from both sides.

So Corbyn and Johnston in this debacle share the same thoughts.

Me too.

As I've said elsewhere, I've done my bit and the rest is up to the government: the people in which we put our trust!

Re: Brexit: Do you feel lied to?

The lies have been from all sides but were mild compared with eu lies over the years. Obama has lost my respect most I sort of expected it from many but his lies took me by surprise.

Monies for funding of clinical trials for research into disease such as cancers and stem cell research and run clinical trials. I could go on.

All from E U funding. Nobody complained then about faceless bureaucrats in Brusel then.

Oh by the way my job before I retired was negotiating funding from Brussels for clinical research projects run in the largest hospital in Wales.

There was a fairly decent Question Time last week when one of the remain MP' s made some semblance of sense. She is appalled at both sides bitterness and hostility towards each other. Families, friend falling out. The bitter tirade from social media behind the safety of keyboards.

For goodness sake for us all. Just get on with it. The sooner you stabilise both shadow and leadership contest you can start the laborious process of leaving.

I certainly have read enough. Although my Southern Irsh friend did make a rather amusing comment at lunch. Quite frankly she couldn't give a feck Bravo.
Yes I agree Goldie, but that's not what the EU was supposed to be for. I feel like a young child who has been offered sweets to get in a strangers car. And it was mostly our money anyway, we could have done that here with the right government and cut out the middle man. Why should research and friendship with other countries stop because we are leaving the EU. The EU is wrongly named, it is not Europe, it is a business just like any other that wants to create a monopoly, and penalises anyone who doesn't fall into line. The EU is not your friend Goldie!

But I still feel lied to by all politicians.
Except my mate Geronimo Farage who always told the truth!
