In a year odd when the sky hasn't fallen down, will remainers admit they were gullible?
That question rather cuts both ways, don't you think? And it will take a bit more than 12 months to feel the full impact.
You're doing a great job, alfieI see the lead singer from Skunk Anansie called Farage a Nazi on “This Week” last night and Andrew Neil ripped her a new front bottom.

Careful, don't mention that there are elected members of the parliament. The religion of Farage have convinced themselves otherwise.
A couple of weeks ago the Leavers in work were full flow calling the EU a dictatorship that they couldn’t change. I asked how often the votes in the EU elections.“You can’t”
“We didn’t know”
“They don’t advertise it very well”
It’s funny that the likes of EU establishment pensioner Nigel, blamed the EU for the all of our woes. Then it’s still their fault when leaving to Univorn land isn’t as easy as they claimed, And still the fisherman (who he failed to represent as fisheries minister) & other regards still love him.

t overload.
According to some, we are going to die a horrible death because of lettuce and tomato shortages so it doesn't matter.t overload.Yes, project fear in their last gasps of desperation and having tried everything else, absolutely everything else, have reverted to using lettuces and tomatoes in another attempt to thwart us leaving. I wonder what they will come up with next week, I'm not sure there is anything left.

What's the point in voting for MEPs when they're completely toothless? They cannot propose to enact legislation, nor repeal existing legislation. They simply approve or deny legislation that the unelected council passes to it.“You can’t”
“We didn’t know”
“They don’t advertise it very well”
What happens when 71% of those MEPs vote that Selmayr should resign?
euractiv said:
The European Parliament yesterday (13 December) adopted a resolution, with a majority of 71%, that calls for the resignation of Martin Selmayr, the former right-hand man of Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker whose rushed promotion earlier this year was criticised as “a coup-like action”.
Absolutely fk all, because MEPs have no power.colin_p said:
I think your understanding of being a traitor is the opposite to what being a traitor is.
Ceding our sovereignty and decision making abilities to a largely foreign entity is traitorous.
Your punishment leaves a lot to be desired and lacks imagination also. For the most vocal and obstructive remainers, I'd have them put in the tower of London for a few weeks to let them ponder and reflect upon the error of their ways. Arriving by river via the traitors gate. I don't think the death penalty is necessary though, I wouldn't want to see any remainer come to any harm. I just wish they would shut up.
I would continue to argue that Nigel is the greatest living Englishman.

A significant proportion of leavers seem to have these weird 'Only Fools and Horses' style views on Brexit, all about putting dissenters in the Tower of London and preparing to fight on the beaches of Normandy again.
It almost hints at mental illness!

[quote=alfie2244]First they ignore you. Then they ridicule you. And they they attack you and want to burn you. And then they build monuments to you. And this is what is going to happen to the Nige
strange you didn't acknowledge that the comment is a mild variation on a classic Tony Benn theme.

"Says it's the EUs fault that the UK has not been able to offer a solution on avoiding a hard border in Ireland"
without being in the customs union and single market this is impossible. There is no solution.
The only solution is having a less hard boarder where good checks are caried out away from it, like in norway etc.
There is another solution that nobody appears to have the balls to talk about and that’s to hand back Ulster to the Irish. If we don’t want a hard border then make the sea our border and let the Irish deal with their own problem. without being in the customs union and single market this is impossible. There is no solution.

They would never do it but it IS an option
I really don’t understand all this bickering over....
Those in favour of Brexit..... “Britain will be great again and we will have brilliant trade deals”
This against Brexit “The sky is going to fall in and we will never be successful again”
In reality absolutely nobody saying any statements like that can back it up with any kind of hard facts or evidence.
The truth is that we have no idea but based on economic cycles, in the long run, we will be OK. How much better than OK is anyone’s guess so the arguments are pretty much a moot point.
I think I must be the only one getting absolutely fed up with it all and when people start slinging terms like remoaner and Brexiteer all it serves to do is undermine any sensible discussion.
As a country we need to pull together and face the new world together. Sitting in two camps throwing stones is never going to help anyone.

I’d have preferred if we had voted to remain, but we are where we are, and it seems we’re exiting one way or another. I have no interest in a second vote, but I would have liked to see something better than the absolutely hopeless negotiations, and the bickering that has come from them.
I’m sure in the long term we’ll adapt and manage - we always have. I’m sure in the short term we’ll feel some economic pain - it looks like we’ll be leaving the EU with no trade agreements at a time where the world’s economy is slowing and is likely to enter a recession, and I’m sure a disorderly Brexit will make the global situation worse.
What I want to see is our politicians pulling together and working something out, rather than furiously trying to score points and stab each other in the back.
