Is that what the people who voted in the 70's said? This EU is nothing like what the majority of people wanted to join and it's what the majority now want to leave. You remoaners are harming our country now and I won't ever forget this!

These guys that will sign on to anything just to 'get it done' will be at the front of the queue whining when it all goes wrong. And it will, because the UK is incompetent. Name any successful project in the last 10 years? The Olympic Games 2012 I concur. There will be a collective sigh of relief in Europe when they are finally rid of the UK. Everything that you hated about the ex-wife the EU is suffering, the reality of divorce is that you are still lumbered with them!

The only guys moaning along with you once we leave will be the remoaners. They have tried everything to stop the will of the people leaving the awful club called the EU.
Supported Palace for over 69 years since the age of 7 and have seen all the ups and downs and will probably see many more ups and downs before I go up to the big football club in the sky. |

You remoaners are harming our country now and I won't ever forget this! We have all had 40+ years of experience and of seeing the European project evolve from the EEC into the EU. Some like it, some don't. By 2016 you are quite right. The EU was nothing like the EEC we originally entered. It was much more complex and all our regulatory systems and standards had been moulded to be part of it. A simple binary question obtained a small majority in favour of leaving this complex organisation but what has subsequently emerged is that the question could not be answered in that way. Complicated questions cannot be answered in simple ways. In 2016 no-one really understood that. Most, but obviously not everyone, does now. The majority back in 2016 said they wanted to leave, but only by a tiny margin. Now is 2019 and not 2016 and what they now want is unknown until it is tested. All the indications are that enough have changed their minds to reverse the result of 2016. Time will tell.

There is a huge difference though between serving your country in war time and jumping off cliffs without a parachute hoping there is a mattress at the bottom

Holding another referendum has never been my preference but I heard Hammond make a persuasive argument in favour a day or two ago. This was that as a government in our first past the post system is rarely elected by more than 35% of the electorate asking Parliament to be able to decide and carry opinion with them in sufficient strength for the electorate to be comfortable with it, is pretty nigh impossible. Thus the divisions would continue. Holding a 3 option referendum would enable a majority to all have a stake in whatever has been negotiated. For god sake Wisbech. First you say Parliament should decide, then you say there is a persuasive argument for a second referendum. Make up your mind.

I don't normally immerse myself in Brexit threads on HOL as I have enough discussion about it and other political matters outside this cherished site, often much to the chagrin of my dear wife. However in response to the suggestion that any second referendum (God forbid) should NOT have any LEAVE option I thought I would reveal a discussion I had the other night.The overwhelming opinion amongst the multitudes was that in order to respect the referendum when 17.4 million voted to leave, any subsequent referendum should only offer 2 choices, Leave with a deal agreed or leave without a deal.This of course would mean Remainers would not vote but at least it would respect the result of the 2016 referendum! Anyhow, enough of my interjections on this thread.I shall concentrate on the football threads and leave this discussion to the experts! I really have no desire to rear-up like a shocked dray horse like I do outside HOL when certain political matters are discussed as it cannot be any good for my blood pressure so I shall bow out gracefully!
