That point had occurred to me when I wrote my post Badger. But seeing that there is such strength of opinion on the other side, and a real prospect of some kind of block or watering down on May's proposed deal, I am genuinely surprised at how little mobilisation has happened

I surmise that is because the concept of Brexit is too complex. I think the most vocal would accept a no deal Brexit but the majority of Leave voters probably would not. And some of those would have gone for a Customs Union.

Had we been German we would have started with a plan. Instead we do the classic Brit thing and launch into something about which we know little real detail

This is The Charge of the Light Brigade stuff, not bravery - simply folly.

Look how well that went for them in two wars.

Nobody wins and loses, its not bingo.

If we exit the EU and suffer, we all suffer

I never used the word "Loser" in derogatory terms to describe the individuals personal traits or personal circumstances, I used it to describe those who voted Remain and lost the referendum.
If Brexit had lost I would have considered myself one of the losers.

I have spoken to many people who have decided they were totally lied to (trade deals next day, 350 mil for NHS, piece of cake withdrawal agreement) and are man enough to admit they were mugged, didn’t know better, and made a huge mistake.

Losers will continue to march I expect, as people feel very, very strongly about this, which we can all understand.

Personally as a Brit living in the states this screws me over if I ever wanted to move to an EU country, so you can understand how I feel quite annoyed that xenophobia has won the day over reason, logic, and common sense.

If and when Brexit goes through, and you don’t see the benefits you thought you would, let’s talk then.

You should have said something before the vote. Had the country known your hypothetical move might be more difficult the result would obviously have been different.
