Until we find a way to respect the result of the referendum without massively damaging the economy and putting peoples lives at risk(i.e. NOT leaving without a deal). If the nutcases and racists want to riot, let them riot, let them throw their toys out of the pram. They don't represent the views of everybody in this country and they don't even represent the entire 17.4M. We have to stop bowing to them and show them we are not scared of them.

Yawn.

I don't get into punch ups with people when I "get stressed".

One positive that I can see in this whole sorry mess is that I do think it's re-engaged a lot of people in politics and how the country is run. I think the expression "oh they are all the same" no longer applies. I know a lot of people who didn't vote and assumed we would never leave the EU, and now they would probably vote remain in case. Never take your voted for granted! No matter what side of the political spectrum you sit on.

You're calling out people who work hard and pay tax, when you yourself don't pay a penny. Obviously...you are going to get called out.

Any thoughts on Boris' behavior? No of course not.

An absolute pack of C***TS. How anyone can stick up for them I don't know.

Maybe if you didn't spend your time posting nonsensical, vacuous rubbish, and stopped ignoring certain posts that you didn't have answers to, then people would have more sympathy :)

Too many people, who for example work for the NHS. The same NHS that allows you to sit at home on hard working tax payers money? You do realize that immigration will not go down when we leave the EU, don't you? Who is going to do all of the jobs in healthcare for example that British people simply don't apply for in vast numbers? If it's not EU Citizens, it will be Asians. ANY trade deal that we do with countries like China or India is going to include relaxed immigration rules for their citizens, and we WILL accept that because we will be the ones going to THEM for a trade deal and we will NEED one. Having just told our nearest 27 neighbours to SOD OFF. It's US that need it...do you understand?? Or do you propose that we tell every single country that doesn't give us exactly what want to P*** OFF? Yes, I'm sure that will teach them. :rolleyes: There will always be immigration in high numbers. Even for jobs that you perceive to be low-skilled. This country would be F****D without it. So NO immigration will NOT go down.

"Won?" This isn't a game. Boris is a criminal.

Good news. However, Boris isn't going anywhere(although he absolutely should). There will be no calls from right wing media for him to step down and sadly I think this will only make him poll stronger. :(

And yet you vote Tory? :lol: :lol:

The Official Labour Foot-Shoot Thread, Mk II
The actions they have undertook in last few weeks would suggest that if not already far-right, they are at least well on their way. Suspension of Parliment to get through their wreckless version of Brexit that benefits them when the divorce agreement could have been settled in less extreme ways that would damage the nation considerably less is the definition of anti-democratic, no matter how much you try and twist it and play devils advocate.

Still..what´s a few arms, legs, bodies and death if it means Brexit! It will all be worth it...won´t it?! :unsure: :unsure:

This is the recurring theme. The oversimplification by Brexiteers is so frustrating. "Oh we have that I´m sure" :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

We're not deal with sane rational thinking people remember. Good luck to the fella. If he's that dense and unwilling to admit this is a shit show then he deserves what ever he has coming to him!

Spot on. You've put this far more eloquently than I ever could. Immigration will not go down. That is a given. There are an abundance of jobs(IMPORTANT jobs. I know, I worked in healthcare for three years) that British people just don't apply for in large numbers, and if it's not Europeans filling those jobs it's going to most like be Asians.

Deep down everyone knows it´s going to be an utter clusterf**k for most ordinary people. It won´t change opinions though, the likes of the Daily Mail will have the excuses, scapegoats and finger pointing ready from Day 1.

My ears have and always remain open as to how most people on the ground, in day to day life will benefit from the UK existing a trade boc with it´s 27 nearest neighbors. Debate and argument is healthy. However, I have yet to hear a good case for leaving the EU beyond abstract and meaningless slogans like "Take back control". Confront a Brexiteer with factual information and you get an eyeroll or abuse and then they slither away. The UK is going to leave the EU, most likely on October 31st, in the most extreme way possible, which was most certainly NOT what was advertised in 2016. For most people in the short to medium it will prove to be(at least) somewhat disruptive and civil unrest is likely. Of course Brexiteers will caterwaul and howl the most, throw the most toys out of the pram, and of course will blame Remainers for "talking down Britain" rather than looking in the mirror. We´ve already seen that preemptively suggested in this thread. It´s so depressingly predictable.

:lol: Absolutely true though. Although I admit that I play relatively big part in the back and forth on here.

He's making an absolutely mockery out of this country. Our reputation is going to be damaged for decades. The way he behaved at that press conference yesterday was utterly pathetic and cowardly and the Luxembourg PM was spot on.
