I’m going to do everything I can to get it reversed for as long as it takes ……
And I’m gonna make sure that the blame for the misery to come because of Brexit is laid firmly at the door of those who voted for it and who campaigned for it ……
……and those who got to be PM by promising to deliver it oven ready when they knew they couldn’t deliver the Brexit they’d promised the Brexiters at all
Because there’s plenty of blame and misery to go around
All democratic decisions can be reversed, otherwise it ceases to be democracy
Well, good luck Mary. I have a feeling that you’ll be pushing your intentions until you’re in your grave! Not that I want you to arrive there for a long time, of course.
Don’t make the mistake of blaming Brexit.
The ones to blame are Boris and his other closet remoaners.
They have tried their best to keep us tied to the EU - and to keep paying them for doing their best to make life more difficult for us.
I’d like to think that their time will come, as there is still a majority of British citizens who definitely want to keep our sovereignty.
Imagine if the vote had gone the other way, and the Remainers had won.
There could have been a situation where the Brexiteers poo pooed every decision, threw every log across the tracks, joined with the Civil Service to make sure that nobody ever got what they wanted.
By now, we wouldn’t be supporting Ukraine, many of us wouldn’t be properly vaccinated, Macron would be helping that German woman run the UK. It goes on and on.
Personally, I think that there needed to be a more decisive vote, this just scraping past with a tiny majority on such an important issue was in nobody’s interest. It needed more than a simple majority to be accepted, as it is half the population is dissatisfied with the result hence all the squabbling.
If the remainers had won by a small margin there would be less squabbling because it was just the status quo. A change needs a much bigger majority
It would have been much better to have had the opportunity to vote way back when they took us into the EU.
“No ifs, no buts, YOU’RE IN!”
There’s the mistake, right there!
That’ what caused most, if not all, of the problem.
From there it took many years before someone thought to ask the public if it wanted to be in, by which time we were so entrenched that getting out was going to be very problematic.
Less than half are dissatisfied with the result Brucie, and if the referendum was repeated I think there would be more of a drift towards brexit. But it’s the ones who have the influence that cause the problems.
They did, I voted “No” in 1975(?) nearly 70% voted “Yes” (from memory) a similar percentage should have been required to leave, no one would argue with a result like that.
BTW I don’t accept that it was a vote for the Common Market not the EU. Britain was a member of the governing body for all these subsequent changes.
Don’t quibble, It was 51.9% to 48.1% wasn’t it? only 1% changing their vote would change the result, effectively it was a tied vote.
The French -German - Normans- Danes- etc all wanted to rule us and we beat off all of them. What is it with the continentals who are not happy with the country they are in ? what they lack in undestanding is we are an ISLAND nation with our own monachy, the French and German monachy? well we all know what happend to them.
Those against brexit I don’t understand if they are so keen to be in the EU why they don’t go and live there. that would free up our Housing and NHS issues. If they don’t like living in the UK as it is now GET OUT and LEAVE
