This, according to you, would make him a Remainiac.
You're grasping at straws.

A couple of years ago when the referendum was announced there was no mention of any 'deal'.

The referendum document simply asked us to vote either in or out. No half-measures were mentioned.

I don't remember Brexiteers promising any deal either, and as for what Boris is saying now I could not care less.

That is exactly the point here. You voted according your own fantasies.
Do you usually vote without being informed on the ins and outs? (pun intended)

You didn't think there might be problems leaving?
You are even more stupid than I was convinced that you are.

Yep that is EXACTY how the UK democratic system works. 65 million people get the opportunity to vote on stuff they really have no clue about. The ruling elite get to sway their hearts and minds for weeks before any vote because they own the media channels. So in a General Election the electorate hasn't really a clue what they are voting for, its just a vague feeling of what a leader stands for or what their party stands for or it the mistaken belief in their manifestos or whatever.

The referendum is no different. The people were asked, Leave or Stay and they voted Leave. Get over it.

That's how the system works. It is not required for 65 million people to understand the technicalities of the UK workings and the contracts/treaties with the EU.

They are free to choose however they want. Some might even have simply flipped a coin. All fair and democratic.


What YOU represent here is DISCTATORSHIP.

What YOU represent is the abolishment of democracy.

You wish to overturn a democratic vote, to make a mockery of our freedoms to choose.

It will not stand. We've fought 2 world wars to protect those freedoms and democracy. We're not about to let a bunch of EU stooges undermine it.

Go back to your EU dictators and lick their backsides.

We were 100% informed.

We had 30 years of membership and the vitriol and bile from the French and the Eurocrats to help us reach an opinion.

We had our Govt spend over £9million on a glossy leaflet informing us of the benefits of EU membership delivered to everu UK household and business.

We had a pre referendum campaign from the Remain camp and from vote Leave.

We had interventions from the Bank of England, the ECB, The EU, The Civil Service, The Scottish and Welsh Govt's , CBI and many other selfserving institutions and people.............

We were probably OVER-Informed.

Here's an Italian who has a lot to say about Brexit
He seems to think we are in the right.

Hi

It is not a matter of not liking us Muddy.

We have decided to leave.

We are now a Competitor, welcome to the real world of Trade Deals.

They will do what is best for them, just as every other Trading Nation does.

They have bigger fish to fry in terms of Trade Deals, we are not top priority.

Re: "Two Years Working to Stop Us Leaving the EU".

Of course it's about not liking us, if it were we were just becoming rivals we wouldn't have seen the venom and disgust on their faces when we voted out and refused to have another referendum. Just listen to some of what they say they clearly hate us.
