There is a huge difference between what is happening in the USA and here over Brexit. Objecting to the use of a referendum for party political purposes (to deal with the threat of UKIP) is a responsibility put on anyone who believes in Parliamentary democracy. Trying to get Parliament to do their duty seems a task we all ought to support. Directly obstructing the necessary work involved in the transfer of power from one regime to the next is another. Claiming that there has been foreign interference in a UK vote, when that interference has been identified by your own security services, is hardly a fraud. It's the truth. Claiming there is fraud without evidence is not the truth. No-one in the UK is threatening violence or even a lack of co-operation over Brexit. Some are passionate about ensuring we achieve a "deal" that allows us to retain as many benefits as possible and to then move to trying to regain our membership and avoid the breakup of the UK. That's all within the accepted norms of the UK political system. What is happening in the USA isn't. There it's all in uncharted waters.
My point was some refused to accept the result of which there was some. Nothing more nothing less

No-body claims the votes were deliberately miscounted or electoral fraud happened via corrupt officials. What's challenged has nothing to do with that. So you don't have a point to make!

Quite right too. This is no place for levity. People come here for enlightenment and to eschew thought crime not to caper about like a moon calf, a luddy-duddy or a jabbernowl. We’re not those. Good grief. You must be living in Victorian times. Are you in East Anglia?

And the first public railway in the world. My mate had a rail in his garden. World’s first railway flyover in Portland Road. Had an atmospheric railway in the 1840s. Most populated borough in Greater London.

Most populated borough in Greater London. Nelson trumps railways I think. Maybe if you had Brunel...along with the jerk chicken outlets you'd stand a chance.
