I believe he has said the same about you Willo

The mere fact that the country chose to change the status quo is enough justification for holding a referendum in the first place. We should have had referendum before on the various EU treaties as our sovereignty was ceded to the EU without our permission, but we were denied.

Brexit has not divided the country. The Brexit vote is just an expression of an underlying division that already existed in the country. It was just the first opportunity people had to express this. The pretty disgusting reaction of the technocrats had just underlined to people that they were right all along.

Oh yes, Jacob Rees-Mogg that shining beacon of light for the common man, giving away his millions to help the poor and fight the "elite".

Not the least bit privileged. Studied at a comprehensive school (called Eton) and then a red brick university (called Trinity College, Oxford).

He has only a forward thinking approach to life and politics and the epithet attributed to him as the "Honorable Member for the 18th Century" is obviously totally undeserved.

Many prats can be erudite and possess an aura of grandiloquence. They can also show disrespect to Parliament by lounging across the benches.

Is this really who we want, let alone what we need, to be a leading member of the government in the 21st century? Really? Is this the progressive image we want to portray to the world?

The Referendum did not specify any arrangement, however, it would be unacceptable to enter into one that was like staying in the EU in all but name.

The position of Labour is disingenuous. Remainers only want to remain at all costs. Labour has a majority of Remainers. Only the Tories will deliver Brexit as they have the most to lose by failure.

Labour must say something different to the Tories and Lib Dems. It's all just political games.

I don't have any issues with those born into privilege taking advantage of it. That's life and an understandable and desirable desire to secure better lives for our children.

What irks is the hypocrisy and the suggestions that people like JRM are against the "elite", when they are themselves close to the pinnacle and that they are taking the stance they do for the country and not because of self interest.

I find your position the disingenuous one; conflating a prediction with a legal inevitability stated in a treaty is entirely misleading - remember how in uproar leavers were about ‘project fear’? It’s the same thing.

It’s not about specific treaties; the predictions in that list are not fact and not stated in any treaties at all, so to present them as such is false.
