794 pages and still no-one who voted Leave has allayed any fears, or even come close to it, that we won't be worse off economically, environmentally and security wise going into the short, mid and long-term future with Brexit. Yes, i know we will be able to label our own foods in 18 months and decide who fishes in our waters. That's great. But hardly the stuff a 'revolution' should see as its zenith. And no point in mentioning Health, Education, Housing and Transport as they are sectors which we manage (fairly badly it has to be said) ourselves anyway without being beholden to EU so any fvck-ups there we only have to look to Westminster as to 'why?' and not Brussels. Plus, population numbers even with Brexit is going over 70mill by 2035. The challenge to 'manage' has been there for a long time now. So, please, remind me - why are we leaving again? Apart from sticking two fingers up at some Europeans what is the point insofar as it being definitely beneficial to the UK?

If you want to re-argue the EU referendum, go from page 794 to page 1. I hope you're a slow reader.

Why don't you campaign to re-join, rather than agitating for the subversion of a democratic mandate that you don't like, on the basis of polls that change with the wind? If the case is as clear-cut as you claim, then it'll be a doddle.

To paraphrase Attlee - Referendum are not about democracy but about demagogues.

We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. [Orwell] |

Aww. The green-eyed monster. Cute. FYI - the vast majority of countries in that big bad world out there doesn't recognise upping sticks to another country and insisting on the perks those citizens have as a "universal right". I happen to agree with them. Sorry to disappoint you.
