I fear we have to leave in order for our leave voters to realise the hard way what we have lost.

More EU flags than ever at Last Night of Proms. True patriots belting out Land of Hope and Glory. Populist Brexiteers confused and furious in equal measures.

Doesn't take much for that to happen.

Fascinating looking back to see what was assumed to be true by Leavers/Little Englanders has turned out to utter bollocks or has changed significantly.
The EU are now becoming very sympathetic to the idea of an independent Scotland becoming part of the EU.
That's a sea change in thinking.
Scottish Nationalists were beaten down during their referendum being warned that an independent Scotland may have to leave the EU. Snidely put down on the basis there were leaving a Union and the consequences would be harsh.
They are now being told by our Government that their interests are best served outside of the EU.
Post Brexit Scotland will vote leave the UK at some point with but with EU support. It ceases to be an argument about breaking a Union and more about staying in a much bigger one.

Not seen such Bravery!
The old adage ‘never mix business with politics’ once again rears it’s wise old head as that ranting Brexiteer loon Tim Martin continues his suicidal journey to kill his own business off by banning EU products such as Prosecco and Champagne and completely alienating the vast majority of the country who are against a no deal.

He is on a little tour of Wetherspoons to preach his ignorant shit. The Cliftonville better make sure it’s stocked up on sausages!

Maybe, just maybe, if remainders has strung together a coherant positive campaign for staying in the EU instead of the arrogant negative one they ploughed, they'd have won the referendum ? They look a bit stupid for not doing so.
Ah Plooks, you're back !!! I missed you my little village idiot. I see your signature has gone as well

Yet your signature stays, and you feel entitled to label another person as a village idiot. Pot kettle

Lots of t shirts saying Thank EU for the music.
Solidarity with musicians who travel regularly with bands & orchestras who are going to be hit badly by Brexit.
I am sure he wont care, but I haven't been to a wetherspoons since he starting spouting his rubbish.
I think my cheeky signature is a tad different from one accussing the mods of being Nazi's. Unless of course you actually believe the mods are Nazi's ?

I know what you mean. But this always reminds me of the antivivisection 'debate' 20 years ago.
TV interview. Boffin in cord jacket with leather patches on elbows and bad haircut versus earnest young woman with short pink hair and a nose stud (pretty rococo 20 years ago).
Killing animals for profit is cruel!
Yes but we have to use animals to discover new medicines
So are you telling me that every time you kill an animal this is guaranteed to lead to new medicines?
Well, obviously not, but....
And so the cult of antivivisection took hold.
But this was the wrong person asking the wrong question and the outcome appealing to the deluded. Like Brexit
It is not for remainers to predict what will happen if we remain in order to rebut the ludicrous fantasy claims of leavers. Remainers should have firmly focused on the unknown effects of leaving, and ask whether the risk is worth it. Likewise those of us involved in medical research now rebut the (dwindling band of) antivivisectionists by asking the latter where new medicines will come from if we are not allowed to test them
Would you accept an untested chemical as a cure and simply take it or give it to your kids, with no idea whether it will work or, more imporantly, whether it has hideous side effects?.
Yes but there are alternative ways of testing
Name one.
Er, computer modeling
No, that will only tell you what you put in the programme - it can't predict unknown adverse effects or benefits of brand new chemicals. We have to test them on animals before trying them out in humans.
We should still leave (animal research in the last)!
Well, if you are prepared to never take a new medicine (and frankly you are a hypocrite for taking old ones - they have all been safety tested in animals) and, if you are really serious about animal suffering, stop wearing leather shoes and belts, and indeed stop brushing your teeth with anything other than baking soda, I will admire your fortitude. Oh, and when you have kids, no sneaky getting them vaccinated, or taking antibiotics if they get an infection.
Oh I hope they stick to their word when sober.

The postive reasons to stay was to avoid whatever the **** this has become

I've always thought Tim Martin looks exactly like the sort you'd find outside a Wetherspoon's at 8.30 in the morning.
