Why should we carry on dithering because you don’t know what you’re doing?
Perhaps because both sides were fed a pack of lies and it’s now time to make a decision based on fact rather than fiction?Just a thought........

What happens if further 'facts' become apparent after the second referendum? A third? What if Italy then leaves the EU and the goalposts move again, a fourth referendum?
The question asked on on the 23rd June 2016 was a very simple one:
Referendum said:
Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union?
It did not say, should we end free movement, or spend more on the NHS, or pay a divorce settlement, or set fire to the channel tunnel, or close all airports or dissolve NATO or anything else. It was a very simple question.17,410,742 people said leave, for no doubt 17,410,742 different reasons. The people have spoken.
It seems that those pushing hardest for a re-run are those that voted remain first time around and would do so again. They are claiming to speak for the ignorant masses (how noble) because of course, 'we could see through the lies, but you are all too stupid so we'll let you try again'.
Apparently there is a march in London today for the 'peoples' (ha) vote. If more than 17.5 million eligible voters turn up this thing might have legs, but since they can only get 320,000 people to sign an online petition I can't see it going anywhere.

I looked for "I'm prepared to see the economy go off a cliff in the short to medium term with no idea how or when it will recover because I don't have a crystal ball but the Daily Mail told me it will be all milk and honey, but yeah, blue passports" option but I couldn't find it.
It's OK - everyone knew what they were voting for and they all voted for the same thing - which was WTO terms/no deal/Norway deal/Canada deal depending on who is talking at the time

Leavers don't need a vote on the terms of our departure of course, they all voted for the same thing.Now if only they could work out what that was
Now, how that thing is achieved is a different matter of course, but the end result should always be that we "leave the European Union".
I do sometimes wonder which side it is that struggles with comprehension.

Shouldn't there be a bus with a pack of lies painted down the side of it for this vote?
I never saw a lie on a buswhat I did see was a suggestion that huge sums of taxpayers money **could** be spent on other things say the NHS for the much needed benefit of said taxpayers rather than paying it to an organisation who firstly pays the salaries and expenses of those controlling it and then grants it to what it considers to be needy parts of Europe for some useful and some useless projects

Well, I didn't ask HER children, but I did ask my own. One had found pictures of baby hedgehogs, the other said 'Leave....'They were the only outside influence I allowed myself.
