Since then we have been all those plus Nazis liars far right it just ramps up all the time.
If everyone had accepted the result then parliament may have come together and made it work. We are a great country but you'd never know that from how remainers talk.
Julie I accepted the result and my views do not influence the "elite". I'm not an activist, just say what I think on here.
What I refuse to accept is the no deal nonsense that came up recently as if it were the Holy Grail of attaining the perfect Brexit. That was
Never on the agenda when the referendum was being discussed. There was always an understanding we would have some sort of deal with the EU be it Norway, switzerland or Canada + etc. This no- deal nonsense is what is getting up everyone's nose.
As for leave voters, a few of my friends voted that way. Some because of immigration and of the latter I have a friend who does post a fair bit of what I see as xenophobic information on the net, and his numerous leave voting friends post similar and egg each other on. Many of their posts are anti islam too or anti-dianne abbot downright racist memes. That's one out of a few friends. Like I said, some people did vote leave for these reasons and that's what they feel strongly about.
Saying that you don't have the same views doesn't change the fact that some others who voted leave do and those who do are very vocal and prolific about it. What I do know is that none of my remain voting friends share these views. None of my remain voting friends are right wing.
Now he's my friend whatever the views but I was very shocked at some of the posts. So leave have been tainted by this because there are quite a few people who do the same. Not an insult but a fact when you see it with your own eyes.
I have seen this country slated by leave voters here. There is often talk of changing the whole system here. You yourself have said that you want to change the country to a socialist paradise, so if it's a great country then why change it? I think it was doing fine. Yes there has been damage done by the dratted tories but it can be fixed by a change of administration. Not Corbyn unfortunately, he would put the country through the mangle.
