Robot Chicken
Seriously?
I know a few people who didn't vote as they didn't know what to vote for. You might accuse all the millions of people who didn't vote of being too lazy, but it's more a case of deliberately abstaining.

That's been my issue since the result was confirmed - people like that somehow thinking they are in some way superior because they went with a small majority of others. Still, if it brings purpose to their days then who am I to take that away. Everything is temporary.

I voted leave. I have no qualms about that.
I do have an issue with all the whinging and vitriol of the bad losers.

A percentage of people may not have had the opportunity to get to the polling station due to illness or work commitments being on holiday....I think the turnout would not be higher were there to magically be a 2nd referendum.

Our seemingly good record of signing decent players.
I knew good things couldn't last after the 8th season of the US Office.

'UKIP leader Nigel Farage, who has campaigned for the UK to leave the EU throughout his political career, said in May that a narrow win for Remain could cause unstoppable demand for a rerun of the referendum
He said at the time that a result that saw Remain win by 52% to 48% would mean "unfinished business by a long way".

Its a strange one, I'm a small business man, I own a cafe,so very small but i do get to discuss this with a variety of people, andcsince the fateful decision, my greengrocer has told me he vited out, and veg will climb in price next week,btw, one of my butchers have told me he vote remain, the other didnt vote, and two regular customers with their own business voted remain, so its nit all cut and dried.

Waste of time.
We are leaving. If any remainers are still that sore, I don't mind giving them a one way lift to Calais

Just to add some balance, I know of several remainers who are incensed by the result because, according to them, we won't be able to go on holiday in Europe any longer.
One of the tw*ts has just returned from a holiday in Dubai.

I am the person you've just described. I voted to remain, as did many other small business owners I know. How does that factor in to your logic?

Please don't contribute sense to the debate-some of the more hysterical remain would never allow such things..

If the 400 odd dedicated remainers in Parliament decide to act against the clear will of the British people, we could be leading to blood on the streets as democracy breaks down,
The Brussels loving Euro is fantastic remainers would like that, yes?
Well, to them it would probably be referable to democracy.

I completely understand the disappointment and anger of some people who are frustrated the result didn't go their way.
BUT after a second day of seeing numerous abusive belittling threads and posts aimed at people who voted to leave (including this one) it's fair they should expect a response in kind.
Initially I did believe being part of a trade block was essential re global capitalism but the trouble is the EU is much more than a trading alliance. It has and is heading in a direction that undermines/diminishes the nation state. On the continent political Union is the declared goal with a Federal Superstate the ultimate destination which has caused economic and political instability .. these are indisputable facts.
A consistant theme of these debates has been the remain side scare tactics and abuse being deemed acceptable or ignored and any response in a similar fashion derided as OTT.
The UK population have made their decision, every vote equal, time to accept the democratic will of the people?

Yeah right ... many of the remainers who deride the leave voters as uneducated, xenophobic, morons. Superiority complex is 99% on your side sunshine.
