Mind Meld!

Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha.

was never an option....the vote was remain or leave!

As an aside, what happens if there was a 2nd referendum and the result was a win for leave? Then where do we go? Best of 5?

PS Id prefer to remain as I live in France but the democratic vote was leave!!

Bingo!

So because you dislike the reasons people voted 'Leave' (in my case it was the whole bendy banana thing. How very dare they) that somehow justifies Remain being allowed onto the ballot paper again?

And of course Leave is deliverable. We are scheduled to leave on October 31st. That is it. The only people trying to prevent that are the same ones, in the main, who agreed for Article 50 to be served and who promised to honour the outcome.

Making them scum and filth in my opinion.

But let us see how it all plays out. Because it is plainly clear that we need a major reset of how our Parliament is made up. As matters stand we have no effective Government.

No it isn't.

Read the transcripts from the original discussions and more specifically the first referendum. People were not stupid then and fully understood the longer term flow.

Enoch Powell told parliament in his speech during October 1971’s marathon six-day parliamentary debate on Britain’s accession to the European Community: “I do not think the fact that this involves a cession — and a growing cession — of Parliament's sovereignty can be disputed. Indeed, I notice that those who are the keenest proposers of British entry are the most ready to confess — not to confess, but to assert — that of course this involves by its very nature a reduction of the sovereignty of the House.”

When we joined the EEC - you won't remember this and presumably have not been taught it - Britain was 'the sick man of Europe'. We realised we had to improve the economy to get back any power, hence the discussions cited. Mess with the economy and the idea of self-determination is a pyhrric victory. We have nothing to be sovereign over.

Just for your information

The bendy banana thing is such a load of old tosh.

In order for bananas to be assessed as Extra Class they had to have no abnormal shape and to be roughly a similar size. This was done at the behest of the banana retailers to get the wholesalers to package bananas better. Other bananas were sold as Class 1 and Class 2. This was simply a way of classifying bananas to help retailers.

The regulation was repealed as people became more tolerant in their shopping to a greater variety of shapes, colours and sizes in their fruit to avoid wastage.
