I did go on to say I thought it was wrong that Remainers wanted another Referendum and why couldn't they accept the decision.

So there is my big question, as in the thread title. Why should I justify myself?
Good for you.

When she wanted to know why you voted for Brexit, you should have asked her why she decided to vote to remain in the EU.

I have asked that question a number of times, and have yet to receive any logical answer!

A world leader?

What, as a vassal state of a foreign power?

Well, to be fair, when we leave they're going to have to cough up more money to subsidise the Brussels Brigade!

The budget for the new period has to be approved by the europarliament in oktober. Since farage and consorts will probably be a mep, that budget will be small, so will be the contribution from the netherlands and other memberstates. No worries!

Only the singling out of the first black kid in school in a rural area in the netherlands. The stares, the prejudices etc.
Of late aggression comes from (religious) minorities that are becoming majorities.
