So here is your post referencing Brexit as being like a club that we are resigning from........so you brought it up. But (as I’m telling you) the EU is not a club, it’s not run like a club and leaving it is not like handing over a membership card and writing off a couple of months subs. Trying...

I suspect you have fired in 300 odd words here and you want to berate me about coherence. Let’s be clear, the EU is not a club in the orthodox way people understand “clubs”. You may be able to enlighten me to the contrary but i bet there are no golf clubs or gyms (your reference) whereby a few...

The argument falls apart, not because it is falling apart, you just don’t agree with it. A couple of posts ago it was falling apart because the voting margin was too small, now it’s about the political union aspect. Staying in the single market and customs union would not be a political...

Why is it a club? You are calling it a club, but the club works different ways for different members. A couple of members pay the fees for everyone else.......what kind of gym works that way? If it did you would be mad to continue to be a member.

How do you know, I suspect there are hundreds of thousands of people that either work, used to work, or knew people that used to work in Britain’s fishing industry pre decimation shortly after we joined the EEC. I think they would have a good idea of why Norway still has a fishing fleet and...

You have certainly not been paying attention to what EU institutions exist if you think the EU’s court of justice is not an key and fully integral part of the EU......I will give you the benefit of the doubt before chucking about accusations of lying...

The referendum was to leave the EU, staying in it’s customs union and/or single market would not constitute leaving. By “remaining” in both the U.K. would not regain control of its borders, it’s fishery policies, it’s ability to trade freely elsewhere in the world, it’s freedom from arbitrary...

Well I think you should say more clearly what you mean; which is that in your opinion a 4% win margin (or 1.2m votes) on one of the country’s biggest ever voting turnouts of 72.3% is not a large enough margin to determine victory. I would be interested in what you think it should be, for...

Hmm isn’t that sentiment racist..........can’t help think if Farage demeaned Albania like that then the streets of places like Islington and Hannover would be submerged in piss for months.

If there was a referendum on joining the Euro do you honestly think it would be that close? When the SNP did analysis in the lead up to their referendum they polled Scots on joining the euro.......less than 10% of those polled supported joining the Euro. This polling changed SNP policy and...

Come on, aspects of that last post are beneath you. You are an unvarnished remainer and to your credit you would accept a 2nd referendum for any reason, that I completely appreciate. I disagree with you, but the candour is refreshing in this debate. To link it to the narrative that voters...

Permanently banned am I? That’s useful to know as nobody has had the good decency to let me know that fact or what heinous crime I must have committed to be banned permanently from that particular thread (and the Trump thread now) but not others like this one? The good news for me is that...

I agree with you up to a point, broadly this is too big an issue for petty games, and I think for now the 27 are in broad agreement. Furthermore some countries in the 27 will not want to jeopardise trade/investment with the UK given their own position. Ireland, Portugal and Spain are classic...

Most people with an iota of common sense understand exactly what those who want a second referendum on the final deal really mean. A second referendum is the sword of damacles that they want to hang over the Brexit negotiations and would mean the EU would offer unacceptable terms in order to...
