Good Day brexit fans and the Attorney General is telling their majesties the Supreme Court that 'they must not deny the will of the people.' That's outside the Court of course.

So Judges X1 1 Government 0 I think but its all to play for.

All the Judges are fit but Delaney not playing so could be vulnerable on the set-pieces.

Thanks Steeleye. Have they announced who is on the bench? I think they'll need a solid defence and someone good to cut in from the left to counter the strong right defenders.

Why is it different? If Farage said he'd push for another if it was a 52-48 split, why can't others?

In any case, the vote was for a departure, not a destination. Why do you think it's such a bad idea to check on the terms of that exit? Because people may assume the vote was about anti-establishment action, immigration, or strange fears of Turks or being part ofa super-state doesn't hold any water because that wasn't on the ballot.

Given that the campaign was run on the back of preposterous lies don't you think that subverts democracy?

F*ckin' hell the left v right tribalism 'we won, you lost, ner ner ner' is bloody tiresome.

Hold on a minute.... the original referendum in 1975 which resulted in us joining what was the common market was accepted in good grace by those who lost the vote!

Since then the previously innocuous common market has become the EU federal state.

If anything has been achieved by "preposterous lies" then surely that is what has happened to the UK with our enforced membership of the EU. No one in 1975 envisaged 300,000+ EU citizens arriving in the UK each and every year causing such hardship to communities with ghettos, lack of housing, schools, hospitals, etc.

As you said the ballot paper was self explanatory.... you voted to remain or leave.

Leave won this time, so just like in 1975, the losers should suck it up and accept that democracy has determined our departure from the EU.

No legal challenge, no 2nd referendum to ratify terms, no Parliamentary debate.

Brexit means Brexit now is just the same as our joining the common market in 1975 followed the people's voting decision.

I was disappointed in 1975, but I accepted it. Please have the courtesy and respect to accept the country's decision now.

I did say that I wasn't sure a while back, but having given it more thought and chatting with the family I am now convinced that I voted no because....

1, In those days whoever I voted for got beat.
2. My hatred/disdain for Germany and France.
3. My annoyance at De Gaulle's reluctance to let us join previously.

I am 99.9% sure I voted no.

Because the Lib Dems, hence part of their name, have always banged on about accepting democracy.

By saying they will ignore the result of the referendum because it doesn't suit them, has a big whiff of hypocrisy hanging over it.
