Democracy is anti-democratic, mun.

Do keep up!


Democracy does not entail having another vote before the first has been implemented..

.. and why should anyone take your opinion on democracy seriously ?

No one can agree how the first can be implemented.

For simpletons like yourself, Brexit is simply in or our.

But fire up just a couple of brain neurons and you'll see it can take many forms and many compilations. Before the vote, Nigel was hailing the Norway arrangement as a ideal destination, but now its anything other than no deal in a betrayal to brexit.

Do we rewrite law every time we have a new government then?

and the government and the opposition voted to invoke A50


It was the previous government, not the current one, that invoked A50.

The current government asked for 2 extensions to A50.

Read that back and you seriously have the nerve to call others ‘simpletons’..

We had a general election in which Labour and the Conservatives both agreed in their respective manifestos that leaving the EU entailed ending FOM and leaving the SM/CU..

Actually the Labour manifesto said this:

“scrap the Conservatives’ Brexit White Paper and replace it with fresh negotiating priorities that have a strong emphasis on retaining the benefits of the Single Market and the Customs Union”

It also, quite categorically, rejected a no deal Brexit as an option.

No deal has become a thing as Farage and the assorted right wing loons in the Tory party have made it all about ‘betrayal’ of a vote. Farage only operates on ‘betrayal’. It’s his entire point. Chaos. Funded by people who are desperate for the UK and EU to be in chaos. As that’s how they make money and grab power.

There are only two reasons why a rich* man pays for another man to have a nice house in Chelsea and nice clothes. Farage is nowhere near pretty enough for one of those reasons.

*apart from he’s not, of course. Can’t point to any legitimate source of his funds. But the people who use him to funnel money are.

“Retaining benefits..”

That’s a strange way of interpreting remaining in the SM and CU, and I can easily find quotes form John Mcdonell that refute what you’re trying to say.

.. and a ‘deal’ could equally mean a FTA, rather than Remaining in every EU institution without representation.

I’m not trying to say anything, I’m quoting the bloody manifesto. But there is no way of retaining benefits without retaining the relationship that gives those benefits.

I can easily find quotes from Farage, Johnson, Rees Mogg, insert name of any other Brexit loving politician, that refutes everything you’re saying as well.

Perhaps given they all lied, we should have another vote?

After all, we cannot get a FTA without the withdrawal agreement anyway (want some quotes?) and that’s ‘worse’ than what we have (want some quotes?)

A FTA can ‘retain benefits’ without political union..

Go and get some quotes that refute ‘what I’m saying ‘, it’s blatantly obvious that you’re moving the goalposts to justify your petulant argument.

All Brexit voters - you've been betrayed. The best way to show your displeasure is write "Fcuk You' across the middle of your ballot paper. So don't forget to get out there and vote on Friday.


Farage is going to have the biggest landslide for a new party ever, it's going to be bigger than the polls are predicting.

Probably. Depressing stuff based on his and UKIP's appalling record of failing to represent us in the EU Parliament. They're some of the least effective and present MEPs in the parliament. It's like Swans fans voting for 5 more years of Bob Bradley.

But they didn’t rewrite the law regarding A50, in fact the general election had the opposite effort.
