It seems quite simple overall. in 1975 the UK voted to join the EEC (Note, NOT the EU) so we went in, and dealt with whatever that meant, because no one then, really knew what being in the EEC meant, (any more than people know now what leaving the EU will mean)
In 2106 the UK voted to leave the EU, so we will come out, and as before have to deal with whatever that means. Interesting times lay ahead.
No we did not!In 2106 the UK voted to leave the EU, so we will come out, and as before have to deal with whatever that means. Interesting times lay ahead.
The UK joined the Common Market without a vote for it in 1973, the government took us in.
The UK held a referendum in 1975 on whether we should stay in or leave the Common Market.
The UK has never held a vote on whether to join the EEC/EU.
Importantly, the pro EEC/EU side has always had the status-quo advantage in both referendums.

This is definitely the fault of brexit!
Those are EU approved tyres. Once we leave the EU tyres will be more reliable. Outward looking tyres which will be free to roll anywhere in the world. Tyres which work for everyone.This is definitely the fault of brexit!

Really I seem to remember on two previous occasions Mainland Europe pleading with our little Island for help or is that a taboo subject now.
Neither of which you would have won yourself without help from your own lost colony, or is that a taboo subject as well? I get that you guys all think brexit will bring back the times of spitfires, huricanes and churchill making bold speeches, with all problems being relegated to a minor annoyance by just keeping a stiff upper lip, i just think you are delusional for it.As for those two previous occasions, those are the main reason we have an EU today, a united europe is a pathway to peace and not starting WWIII.
If we are bringing in tenuous historical links, might i suggest we will soon see a british monarch having their spouse decapitated, as that also happened previously when england took a step away from the continent.

Why did you talk about Russia and Putin then? A strongly worded email isn't going to do anything if they want to kick off now is it?
If Putin wants to "kick off", nothing short of the (threat of the) US' nuclear arsenal will stop him, not the EU, not the UK.And not everything escalates to "kicking off", stuff like trade negotiations, diplomacy etc.. are all an EU matter, not NATO.
Many are deeply embarrassed by this little englander mentality. Ironically it is the opposite of what really put Great into Britain. They are - quite literally - very much Little Britain!
Also, I work a lot in Wales and I'm yet to meet a remainer there either - Little Welshers?
Admittedly I'm in a very rural area - maybe if I lived closer to the rarefied city air which I understand you can only find in certain bubbles, my experience would be different.

Sitrep, all flags on university campus at half mast. Not a joke either.
At least Tusk acknowledgement he's received the letter has spiked the discussion as to what we'd do if he was out. Leave a "While you were out" card tucked under a handy brick by the Wheely bins and tell him to pick it up from the post office.

Who's going to stand up for the rights for both tires and tyres! why should they be treated differently to shelves and ladders?!
even f
king useless flat ones that are good for nothing except the scrap heap ?! 
Oh by the way Brexit is responsible for failed dates. Not the sort you put in date and walnut cake, but dates, with the opposite gender, or same gender if that floats your boat. Apparently folks are getting chatted up and then things going to pot when views on Brexit emerge. So blue balls because Brexit it seems.
