Lots of angry people today.

We haven't had a GE ...the vote was a question on a single issue what part of that don't you get???

Obviously the core concept.
I don't get why I shouldn't criticise the decision-and point out the downsides?

Exactly this.

How does losing the vote take away all rights to criticise the outcome?

Bizarre attitude.

you can like you can applaud the upsides too, but people are trying to make out we have had a change of government
and they have run off ....

I don't believe that is what is being suggested.

That'e the point, though, isn't it? If there was a GE tomorrow and Jeremy Corbyn was elected PM, then not only would you certainly not take it lying down but more importantly in 4-5 years time you'd be provided the chance to change the result.

Not so with this referendum. It is the one-shot permanence of this whole farrago that is winding up those who didn't agree with the result, and that is entirely understandable.

At the next general election there will be a chance to vote for a pro-EU party and the potential to re-join...

Perhaps if the Remainers ever get to the point of stopping their incessant whingeing, we might just ALL be able to work together to improve the country for the longer term.

Why should they assist in making the country worse than it would be if we remained, as they see it.

I am British and I like to moan. It is my right, unless the EU have brought in a new regulation against moaning??

Yes but in opposition does the losing party at a general election just sit there and accept everything because they lost?
Nope

Well, thinking back to 2015 the losing party's supporters whinged on social media for about a month, called everyone who voted Conservative stupid and bigoted, claimed the election result represented the oppression of young people by the old folk, organised an online petition demanding another election under different rules, and held a series of poorly attended protest marches. Same old, same old.

Powerstrokes seems to think that's what should happen.

You're failing to appreciate that this thread was started as a vehicle to express Leaver's smugness. Repeatedly butting into that smugfest was bound to get on their self-congratulatory tits eventually.

Well we're not going to Remain - that's the whole point. I know it's only just over 2 weeks but I assume the Remainers will just whinge and sulk forever - a shame when they could have brought so much knowledge and expertise to help move forward the changes now needed for the country as a whole.

I'm not sure that applies to the most vocal ones on here!

Excellent, you want the remainers to sort out the problems the leavers have now created for everyone.

Exactly. There is a clear knowledge and expertise deficit amongst many. Loathsome Leadmum being a case in point - and she's the best they could muster.....

Do you ever wonder to yourself why you get such a hard time on here?

If you reread what you've written above, you'll get an inkling.

If it didn't mean people would lose their jobs I would just retire and sod off to Australia. But stupidly I am staying here to try and sort of the crap inflicted on us by the exit vote.

But its OK when the insult was going the other way only a few posts above? I only pointed to the leaders of the campaign whereas many here are quick to make it personal to posters directly. It says volumes about them.

I get a hard time on here as point out how daft this vote is on a regular basis - those who voted leave don't like to see what a total clusterfck their vote has unleashed on the country - with fck all leadership to carry it through. They are in denial about the consequences.

And this is a thread where they thought they would do some gloating.

Not at all, and I'm sure you didn't really read anything of the sort. I merely suggested that the Remainers could help [if they wanted to] so that we all felt we were pulling in the same direction.
Is it any wonder that the Leavers get fed up with the continual whingeing when Remainers are such sulky losers. Just because economists and The City folk are so used to having everything go their way, it really is quite enlightening to see how they react when a significant number of 'plebs' think otherwise.

I rather doubt whether anyone on here is in a position of sufficient influence to "sort out the problems created" unless one of the more vocal Leave advocates is actually Andrea Leadsom under a pseudonym. Does she drive a PH-type car? I suppose if both sides were to declare tomorrow "No Brexit Arguing Day" and do some work instead, national productivity might improve.
