What exactly did you think the referendum represented then ?
And "advisory and consultative" vote? This is what was enshrined in the legislation. Am I right? What do I win?
That statement is an absolute ****ing disgrace. How do these people look at themselves in the mirror?

dont think everyone is in a hurry,this appears to be a falsehood.
Im quite happy for the slow approach and current timeline. Apart from the obvious benefits of finalising tactics before we sit down for official negotiations it has given some losers time to reflect,accept reality and calm down.
Their rhetoric has completely changed the last few months as they realise we are actually leaving, the calls for a second re run referendum because people didn’t know what they were really voting for have all but stopped. Even the opposition is now on board and saying it wont block article 50. “Hard “ and “soft” Brexit terms are diminishing as remainers realise they invented the terms after the referendum anyway and so called “hard” Brexit simply means Brexit. They are realising the economy hasn’t immediately collapsed as promised and wished for, even though some still source any negative news in the hope it is crashing.
The remoaners amongst the remainers have nearly all realised this decision will not be reversed.
There is of course a small hardcore who want the gov to reveal its strategy now in the hope it puts the country on the back foot and we will only therefore be able to get a bad deal for the nation. They are hoping for one last throw of the dice and think this will lead to Brexit being dropped all together.
Its almost painful watching how these people don’t realise how misguided they are.
Well done, who would of known, that was at the forefront of yours and everyone elses mind as we entered the ballot box .......

If we all put a fiver in a month, we stopped giving treatment to people who have no legal rights to it, and the labour party stopped using the NHS as a political football the NHS would be sorted tomorrow, otherwise privatise the whole lot and be done with it.

As usual you win nothing.
The "advisory and consultative" opinion of the 48% runners up accounts for zilch as T May and the government sides with the winners and is doing what it said it would do in its manifesto….”We will honour the result of the referendum, whatever the outcome”
Maybe you should have followed the news. U.K. Law is a very public entity; it was, and still is, all out there.
Please note, I'm not saying I don't think it should happen. I just think it won't. Well, from all debates it shows that the referendum meant a thousand things to a thousand different people. No one has any idea what Brexit actually means.
You had a lot to say prior, during and after, show me a post pre referendum where you outlined this to us, you were cock sure you had it in the bag, but you lost, I cannot recall one remainer citing this as advisory pre referendum, not one, but if you can show me then fill yer boots ?
I thought you said 'still dont' in terms of your thoughts in reference to it happening ?

The 18% figure I quoted was for end of September 2016, and is a seasonally adjusted figure, the rate of youth unemployment across the EU is generally falling and has been for the last 3 years.
But you carry on with your guessing.
If you want to pick a fight about the virtues of the EU, may I suggest not picking unemployment, the region is a comparative basket case ....

Your last sentence is how I feel about the cock-a-hoop leave voter.
If this goes through we will find out who was right, and I hope it is you, but don't bet against things being a lot closer to the economic shit storm predicted before we catch a glimpse of the sunny uplands.

Yes a simple YES or NO with no detail. A YES is not a mandate for the government to do whatever they like in a smoke filled rooms, ignoring the rule of law.
They are still learning what it means, right now it means £100B extra borrrowing and that's before any single market exit
I said, please note I'm not saying I don't think it should happen. Just that I don't think it will. Sorry if unclear.

I was just pointing out to another poster that rather than guessing, there is factual information freely available to anyone who has heard of Google.
If you believe that 10% average unemployment, continuing the falling trend from 12% 3 years ago, across the EU makes it a basket case, then post Brexit Britain is going to shock you.

Well I heard the UK has to give the EU £50B to settle up before leaving. I think most will want to ask what this money is for. May be it's to help pay for the failing EU project, the EU cronies in their lovely offices on bumper wages and bumper pension pots. We all know it's completely wrong deep down, so why do people still support it, at a time when people are supposed to be struggling.
Exactly. Hope we get out before we have to give billions in bail outs as well. 50 Billion to leave, frigging cheek.
