At least if we do leave and it turns out to be shite they can turn around and say they did something to make their voices heard.

This 'will of the people' argument that the Leavers love to use- why are they so scared to find out what the will of the people actually is in 2019?

I wonder.

Perhaps the Mod who changed it to what it is now can conduct the amendment in a small ceremony involving one or two canapés and the mayor. Maybe a photographer can capture the moment. Was it Giraffe?

It was Titanic I believe.

I see the extension is deemed to be international law, so it takes precedence over UK domestic law regardless of parliament trying to reject it. The title needs changing.

I've signed the petition, I think it's actually got some legs in it.

I voted for Brexit, but not at any cost. This isn't a reversal of my opinion on the EU, but an acceptance that the status quo is better than what this shambles of a government has achieved in the last two years.

Hopefully some good will come of all this - reform of our outdated and broken political system followed by a proper debate on our relationship with Europe now that people are better informed.

As a strong Remainer, I could have finally accepted a Norway type Brexit, but because of the pigheadedness of this government, people are pushed to either No Deal or Revoke A50. Both of which are extremes of political opinion.

Something has to give. Europe are being very patient with us.

I am on a different march tomorrow. Its to represent the forgotten in this country. The TTDTFG ( The Taxed To Death and Taken For Granted ) There are only 5.7m of us and we are the lifeblood of this country. We aren't self-seeking politicians, civil servants or the chattering classes of Chiswick, Richmond and Islington. We are the SME's, the small and medium sized businesses on which this country depends.
Whilst certain people are worrying themselves shitless over Brexit, stockpiling food and going on marches, I shall march to work tomorrow. Hard as it is, with economic catastrophe just around the corner, I am going to carry on. I know. Its probably foolhardy but thats me all over. I could let all my staff go and tell them that there is no point carrying on but I just feel it wouldn't be fair. So I have told them that their positions will be reviewed on April 12th and again on May 22nd. If it reaches the point of every man for himself, fighting in the streets over food, clothing and medicines, then that would have to be taken into consideration.
Oh ...... and I hope that all those on the People's Vote March have a jolly good day tomorrow..

I have reluctantly come to the conclusion that even Corbyn would be better than this appalling want-to-be-dictator that we currently have.

When it comes to Brexit, definitely.
Even if it means remaining if it's for the best.
But he wants to leave on much better terms and protect workers rights etc.
What we have now is just the worse situation possible.

Personally I don't like non Albion things on here - however our club do have a number of European players so it's a link - a weak one I grant you .
Anyway last chance to go on a shouty march tomorrow if that's the way you feel - or maybe go along and shout at the shouty march - if that's the way YOU feel .

Time to sort these idiots out - whichever way you voted

So go - the more the merrier https://www.peoples-vote.uk/

From a firm remainer........

Your post is pathetic.

‘I don’t like non Albion related stuff’, proceeds to post completely non related to footy stuff, let alone Albion, with the impressive post count of close to bugger all. Brexit is not about the Albion.

If you have an agenda at least have the balls to say so.

Blame for this pickle lies at many doors.

I do feel however that if many had accepted the result and aimed for the best exit possible rather than continually scuppering and sabotaging and delaying hoping that it would go away and we'd simply give up, then the pill would be easier to swallow.

Theresa May's red lines, which she won't budge on, have led to this deal being the only one available. For her to blame ANYONE else is a joke, frankly.

Ah - The "People Who Didn't Like the Result of the Previous People's Vote march." Still, I suppose calling it the People's Vote is a snappier, if misleading, title.

Surprised you haven't joined the 'We've been conned again and given good old Nige another £50 and he's not even joining us, but we're happy to be poorer now and post 29 March, march'

Indeed.

A reasonable Brexit was always there for the taking.

But May's silly red lines have caused so many problems.

God. I’m sick of the bellends in this country.

If we have a democracy then we have to abide by a majority vote. It doesn’t matter whether we made the “right” choice or not we made a choice.

Once in a lifetime vote? My ahole.there was a woman on BBC this morning (Labour) who was saying we could go for a leave but retain free movement etc....I’m not 100% sure on this but I’m fairly sure that freedom of movement was the main reason leavers voted out.

This country is a joke.

Brighton / Hove actually
So 2/3 of Parliament is remain and the population vote is 1/3 leave?

I think I can see where the problem is. If the referendum vote was; all those in favour of Brexit should go out to vote, and the remainers stay at home and not vote. And then do the percentage based on the numbers of people of voting age v the Brexit total votes. We would not even be discussing it now.

Someone referred to her after her rather petulant intervention on Wednesday night that she was an authoritarian without authority. I have yet to come across a better description for her and her actions.

I really wish others would respect the vote like you.

I was very unsure about my vote. I could see that certain things were ineffective and I wanted to see a different approach but ultimately I couldn't bring myself to vote leave without knowing what the future would bring so I voted remain on the fact that it could be awful if we left.

Having seen the last 3 years with continual misjudgements and poor negotiations at every step I'm horrified at the thought of how it might look and I probably sit within the top 20-25% of earners in the country. I'm worried for the poorest 20% and how they will be impacted when we finally leave
