Had the Tories not been in power I would have voted leave. Was only the fact I thought Cameron and Co would be worse than the EU that I voted remain.


I think you should vote labour if you want a more equitable society.

There never will be and I never will.
Your logic for voting remain is ridiculous.

I didn't say equitable, I said more equitable. You don't think this is possible...?

If we are talking about Britain then people are generally much better of than 100 or 200 years ago.
The super rich might be richer and certainly the share of wealth could be more equal but the super rich make the rules. By voting remain you clearly want to help them with that.

One person's more equal is another person's betrayal.

The problem with Labour is many of the methods they use don't result in a more equal society.

The British working class rumbled this some time ago and Labour are getting what they deserve.

They don't represent working class people anymore....If anything they turn their noses up at them.

They represent themselves.....As do the Tories....But the Tories are more honest about it.

They are part of the same problem. It's the ruling elite trying to protect itself.

I'm sounding more left wing than comrade Gusset.

You're sounding f*cking hilarious more like.

Those elitist judges, doing their jobs and applying British law as handed down for centuries - the pricks.

Oh Stop it.

You know it's a bloody disgraceful and cynical attempt to overturn a democratic vote. It will ultimately fail.

Hrolf, I know the decision is not the one you wanted; but can you please explain why, in your view, the High Court decision was "disgraceful".

As was clear from previous deep recessions, the elite tend to do well whatever the circumstances. As I see it, there is no reason why the elite would not profit handsomely from exiting the EU with the appropriate well-advised asset movements.

If the economy does well, we will all be toasting our cleverness in voting Brexit; or acknowledging how silly we were to vote Remain. On the other hand, if the predicted collapse happens, it will not be the elite who fall by the way side; it will be the likes of you and I Hrolfy me old mate who slip into the mire.

Ultimately I expect the MPs to vote to honour the result and it'll just sew up any legal opposition to Brexit allowing it to continue unchallenged.

Still, I look forward to another 40 petitions on Facebook asking foaming-at-the-mouth lefties to petition for it to be discussed in Parliament.


Why lefties?

Yeah I wonder why. I guess they are less capable of rational thought. Or it's a coincidence. But yeah, they've all been at it on my Facebook.

The referendum had ADVISORY on the tin and the High Court saw that clear as day.

Mrs May is a tin-pot dictator avoiding the people that represent us and the electorate and she has the taxpayers money to do it with.

She should have engaged with parliament then all this would not be needed.

Whilst I voted for, and still want Brexit, I do have to agree with some of this. The error was the wording on the literature that went with the referendum. Promising that voting for it would make it so was not something that could be promised. It wasn't the only load of sh*te we were dealt in the lead up either.

From my point of view, I just hope that it sews up any questions about the legality of things with minimal delay (although the telegraph report a potential year delay). Pro or Anti, no one could be hoping for a delay to this because the uncertainty is doing nobody any good. The only reason I can see any Remainers wanting a delay is that a delay could turn into an attempt to brush the whole thing under the carpet.

I will keep out of this debate as it will clearly evolve into a vitriolic WILLO thread.

If I had posted some of the things on here, posted by a particular member I would be accused of being a "Troll" and "Attention seeker" etc etc. Rather than give any credence to certain posts I will ignore some of the hogwash and won't rise to any bait.

So that's it from me on this thread.
