No. I think you are making the same mistake of thinking one remark is representative of a whole group. There’s a big mix on both sides - evidenced by the huge rifts in the main political parties.

Amendment to extend A50 for another referendum is defeated by 334 to 85. The HOP certainly know how to waste time.
pasty
A different kind of pasty
Don't think many people did at all. I based my remain vote on the fact that the main protagonists for leave were the likes of Farage, Boris, Gove and Rees-Mogg, and whatever they were "for", I would likely be against. Turns out I was right.
I wonder if the march should have taken place before the vote ...... maybe it would have made a difference

You literally did. There were whole DEBATE POINTS during the referendum about having to pay a divorce bill. Only those on the lunatic fringe of UKIP argued for no divorce bill. Do you reckon if you walked out on your wife she'd just happily forget your assets? Were you asleep during that part of the debate? Or drinking with Brian Robson?
Tragically the net impact on the country of no deal will be significantly more costly over the next decade than any divorce settlement
You voted for May's deal and no deal and the Norway option and Corbyn's "stay in the customs union" version. You also voted for none of them.

Well, well, Two professors beign abusive, there’s a novelty.
If I cared one iota about your opinion, this may have annoyed me, as it is , you don’t appear to be able to communicate in an adult manner, without the need to bolster your ego with puerile insults.
Have a pleasant evening.

Agree totally.
When May became leader my view as a non-Tory was that she was probably the best of a bad bunch. I was going to say "How wrong I was", but maybe all the others would have been worse.
My six-year old granddaughter in wales has become fascinated by the whole thing. I don't know how much she understands about it all, but she apparently said yesterday that "that man (it was Liam Fox) isn't very good at speeching." Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings……..
Still, at least we have a trade agreement with the Faroe Islands.

One of two things is happening: Theresa May is persuing a very clever, Machiavellian strategy which ends up with her having no choice but to revoke article 50 then falling on her sword and calling a General Election.
Or she's useless.

Mine was similar but replace the politicians with Rupert Murdoch, Viscount Rothermere and the Barclay Brothers.

I think your post is a reminder of what an astonishing win it was for the Leave campaign. Everything was firmly stacked against it, almost impossibly so. It was unthinkable that the Remainers would lose it was so weighted to their advantage. A truly seismic shock, no wonder they’ve never believed it would happen but even the Guardian, I recall, acknowledged that the belittling and patronising approach spectacularly backfired. Seems lessons still not learnt by many...!

It’s an absolute farce. Is that end of June. Beginning of June? In which case we might as well fast forward to either because nothing, nothing will be agreed then either. It’s time to put them all in a room, lock the door and no one comes out until decisions are made. No food water or access to toilets either. The f uckers have had more than enough time. And if they die literally in their own faeces then so be it. Next...!

It's an absolute bloody disgrace. The views of 17M+ doesn't matter to them. They are wrecking Brexit in front of our eyes.
So we're no further forward ! No deal coming ...... let's just do it.
