You might have heard it 100 times, but millions read the leaflet, and watched Cameron's address to the nation. That may not make it technically legally binding, but millions of people believed it was (presumably having not heard anything to the contrary 100 times). Precisely.

That sentence, as you so derisively put, was voted on by 34 million of us. Now, stop clutching at straws; a firm offer was made; we took it. Perhaps you have difficulty with some basic concepts, like keeping your word? (Not that I ever expect that from a tory leader, mind - but that is where we...

It says they WILL do. That commits them to implement it. Stop clutching at straws, ffs.

So not actually stated in the relevant act then. Your quote is from Full Fact, an organisation (nothing to do with the Government) owned by Will Moy - who may or may not be a remainer. According to the Joseph Rowntree Trust, "Will Moy is the Director of Full Fact, the independent and...

Nice one! And the message was re-iterated unequivocably in Cameron's final address to the nation before the vote. Now the only viable argument remaining to those in denial is to claim that the leaflet wasn't delivered to LaLa Land!

Sorry, that really is stupid. MILIONS watched David Cameron say on television that if we voted leave, we were out, that was final, and that it could not be changed. Do you seriously expect all the 34M who voted to have personally gone through the referendum act with a fine tooth comb? You're an...

Absolute rubbish. There's some rubbish spouted on here, but even those on here who are arguing that the referendum was only advisory will consider your contribution derisory. It is an absolute fact that everybody didn't know it waaay (sic) before the referendum.

Out of interest, where, exactly? And how come Cameron thought it didn't?

I didn't - please check your facts. I stated it was a fact that David Cameron told us it was binding; that remains a fact - he did exactly that, and I showed you the source. That he got it wrong, according to you, is irrelevant; he still said it.

I can see tat you're a bit of a fantasist who is probably not interested in anything that doesn't support your fantasies, but please refrain from stating things are facts when they are not. "And being told beforehand that the vote was advisory, not binding." This is a link to a transcript of...

Cheers anyway! Pretty much the same over here...............................

Another 'smart' quip falls short of the mark. Point of order: In the UK, turkeys don't have the right to vote, however deplorable and turkeyphobic that might be. Tough world, eh?

Is the US media anti-Brexit, then? (just asking - I've no idea).

Point taken. The rest of my post stands, however. Out of touch politicians lost a referendum they only called because they thought they couldn't lose.

Yes, I don't doubt that (although Corbyn's attachment to the EU dream is at best questionable). A majority of Westminster politicians are pro remain too. These are the people who found out last year, much to their dismay, that they weren't in touch with the feelings of a majority of voters...

There's always been significant left wing opposition to the EU. One of the main opponents of joining, and a prominent voice in the 'No' campaign back in the 70s with Tony Benn, a lefty violently reviled by the Daily Mail, Daily Express etc. A true demon red-under-the-bed, Russia loving...

So just where do you think the EU got that money from? Are you seriously unable to understand the concept of 'net contributor'? Besides, that infrastructure is all nicely in place - do you feel a need to pay for it twice?

Non voters do not count. Never have. By not voting they tacitly endorse the decision of the majority. That's normal standard democracy. Next question?

Errmm - perhaps you hadn't noticed, but 'us remoaners' are a minority, by a million or so.

So, certain moaners should shut the f**k up until 2055 then. Fair's fair, eh? In the unlikely event that the EU is still going then, we can apply to join again. OK? Now then, what's your problem with that - forty years of your own way followed by forty years of someone else's? Fan of democracy...
