There is an idealistic view of Brexit that it will give Britain back control and allow it to prosper; in reality it will leave it far poorer and far more dependent.<br /><br />As that's becoming clearer, I think the argument for a second referendum becomes increasingly strong. Essentially, we want to say to people, did you really mean all this when you voted yes? If they vote yes again, then fair enough - they really are intent on shooting themselves in the foot. But most people, when they see that's what they're doing, would probably put down the gun.<br />David Beesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00393977902379776532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7520303675367700778.post-65072851365116889132017-08-02T22:23:24.641+01:002017-08-02T22:23:24.641+01:00Fascinating isn't it say a few controversial w...Fascinating isn't it say a few controversial words and you get an audiance exactly what dear David once admitted about his stimulation in writing his blog, so I am sure he greTly welcomes some controversial stimulation it's a great thing that thee are some alternative views.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7520303675367700778.post-86618186922663837692017-08-02T12:41:30.587+01:002017-08-02T12:41:30.587+01:00Troll, Troll?Troll, Troll?Wonk Wonkynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7520303675367700778.post-74218981717810628252017-08-01T22:10:54.117+01:002017-08-01T22:10:54.117+01:00Anonymous could be a troll, right?

As a nation w voted to join the EU a totaly different union which was solely about business and almost nothing to do with what it has metamorphosed into which no one in the U.K. voted for it's almost as if Hitler had won and Europe became a dictatorship.

We could go for the Norway model, but that would mean freedom of movement, which is precisely what a huge portion of Brexiteers want out of – though there may be some intelligent reasons for wanting Brexit (none of which I actually agree with), let's face it, most Brexiteer's don't espouse them.<br /><br />Hard Brexit is just incredibly stupid, and everyone involves knows it, but the racists refuse anything else. Of course Brexit should be opposed, and the defensiveness of the likes of Anonymous shows that they know they've screwed up. Suggesting that a vote means that everybody has to shut up and toe the line suggests to me that they don't believe in the strength of their arguments.Awoogamuffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03868669228439003143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7520303675367700778.post-37260228054731474602017-07-30T21:58:16.734+01:002017-07-30T21:58:16.734+01:00 Oh how lovely a true supporter of the extraordina...

If we should accept the majority view, why hold new elections at all, hold one and keep that party forever more.<br /><br />It is a shame there is no real opposition that will keep the conservatives on their toes during the brexit negotiations. This will allow them to create a brexit that the majority of the people pay for (both with exit fee and resulting increase in the cost of living) while leaving the top 1% they actually serve to get away with paying less tax in the new low tax Britain.David Metzgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17747171060178317025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7520303675367700778.post-50439094813945102962017-07-29T22:44:29.467+01:002017-07-29T22:44:29.467+01:00Why not simply say, I don't agree with the maj...Why not simply say, I don't agree with the majority view and will not acsept democracy?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
