I find it interesting the people say "leave means leave" and "just get on with it" when in reality in 2016 people voted for a concept, not an implementable plan. Its kind of like voting to have dinner or not. 20 people vote to have dinner. But one is allergic to fish, one is gluten intolerant, one hates pasta, the other is vegan. When the dish of Osso Bucco over cheesy polenta comes out, it causes an issue. They all voted to have dinner, but there was zero consensus on what should be on the menu. What to do then? Have another vote, this time on the specific menu options. No one was talking about Northern Ireland in 2016. This is now the single most divisive issue for many people. The point is there were many, many unknowns in 2016. There were also a lot of lies on both sides, but many, many lies on the leave side about the "next morning trade deal" from David Davis or the 350 million quid NHS bus. if 100% is knowing completely and utterly what this or that type of brexit causes, vs a no deal, etc, then in 2016 you could make the case that we were only at 15% of an understanding. There are still unknowns but you could now say its more like 75%. Given that extra 50% of knowledge, about jobs, immigration, business, the future prosperity of the economy in general, the backstop etc etc, I find it hard to argue against those calling for a second referendum. If MPs are allowed to vote 3 or 4 times on the same deal, you cannot state that the public are not allowed a second say in matters, now that the extra 50% of knowledge is actually available. What a terrible analogy.

What a terrible analogy. Exactly what I thought. Nothing like it, and the understanding was that Brexit WAS/IS going to be implemented.

I did smile whilst watching the one o'clock News when Katya Adler said that Mrs May had returned to the UK and Macron and Merkel would be giving press conferences later on. Anyone would think that the EU was actually a Franco German State as it seems that despite all members having an equal voice some are more equal than others - now where have I heard that before They are pigs. Maybe that’s part of your thought process.

Seconded, it is right to put the matter before the people as it is, not as the quite ridiculous and criminal referendum 3 years ago. But it continues the circus while the country is on the bonfire. So revocation of article 50 is essential IMO. It is still within our power.

If your energy or tax bill shot up would you be unhappy or not care? BTW UK charges Alot more for visas so you're lucky Before quoting this, you need to know how long his visa is valid for because UK Visit Visa valid for 6 months...£93 which, on my calculations is not more than £100. However visit visas valid for 2 or 5 years are a lot more

However visit visas valid for 2 or 5 years are a lot more Just to add more information here. As far as i know, UK is unique to have static visa period and pricing. It is £93 for 6 months and over £300 for 2 years and £600 for 5 years. Whereas US or Schengen gives autority to caseworker with fix price. There are samples that you pay €60 Euros and get 2 weeks Schengen or you pay same amount but get 2 year visa. US usually grant 10 years with around $100. Considering also prices of work permit, settlement visas which soared signifcantly in recent years, i can ensure you that Home Office does a good job to make money out of these processes.
